wow, another car!! lol you're as bad as I was when I was young, always changing my cars lol FN2 looks sweet mate, miss both my FN1 and FN2. Nice low miles on that one too! One thing to check on or around that mileage is the synchros in the gearbox and the clutch. On mine at those miles, both 2nd and 3rd gear syncros gone (common fault). I was lucky, Honda agreed to pay for it on mine as it was a design flaw and I still had a bit of warranty from Western Honda. One way to test is rag it 1st 2nd and 3rd (like almost red lining it). Any crunch going up from 1st to 2nd then 2nd to 3rd and probabl

Thats a totally amazing bit of work mate, loving that! Will be following this one!
-
Damn! Where the hell do we get the shims then? I was sure the oem pads from Honda came with them?
-
Might give him a shout! Thanks Dan
-
Nice wee haul of parts mate! I'm wanting to get DD's lca bushes done so might buy some replacement arms and refurb them and fit new bushes to them.
-
TBF the Standard Honda pads are decent mate. Thats good to know we can still get bthem from Honda as I need to order up some new retainers for DD, so will just get the pads at same time. Do you know if the pads come with the shims as i cant remember?
-
Also give DAVEMB2 a shout as he did a K26 swap on his D series MB2. Have a look in the project threads for "Trinity D"

Jesus mate! you'd be better off just getting the kit from Honda, might cost a little bit more but you know they will fit straight out of the box.
-
Sorry to hear about your grandad mate, never easy losing a loved one. I think the key was for programming spare keys. One thing I do know is never try and start the car with it as it can cause lots of damage apparently.

Nice job!
-
Im gonna get a full set of these for DD as her brakes are rattly and squeaky. I remember the last tim I replaced all these was on Ruby before heading down to Japfest the first time...brand new discs, pads, shims and retaining clips all from Honda. Everything fitted perfect and no noises so might need to go down same route with DD

Thank you mate, much appreciated

Actually, looking at it like that (only getting it 4cms higher) I think you're right! Think I'll go for the same layout as yours. That way can make the hole for the radio proper 2 din size as the screen I looked at was only 7 inch and 100cm high so not full double din.
-
Thanks mate! yeah, took a lot of effort with G3 paint cutting compound followed by G3 polish then autoglym extra gloss. should keep them nice for a while longer! Just noticed you can just see DD in the background of one of the pics parked next to "Effy", Gayles Nissan Juke

What a cracking project, and a lovely MB3 at the end of it. Loving the mods you've done mate, really brings the MB bang up to date and nicer to live with. I'm in the process of doing the double din conversion on my aerodeck. That head unit you've got is the same one I was looking at too! Love the fact it's nice and shallow so plenty room behind it. We really do struggle for room behind standard sized 1 din units in these civics, the dash space being really tight. So to fir a standard double din is tricky, so thats why I prefer the mechless (no cd player so smaller) units. How you finding that
