  • About me
    Hi, I'm Dave, the founder and owner of Civic5.com. I have been into cars my whole life, spending time restoring classic 70's fords then moving into the Honda scene. Have now been a fan of Honda's for years.

    So, bit more about me. I'm an old git, and was with Dawn (aka Civic5 Moderator crazzzydawn in the forum) for 21 years, married to her for 17 of those years. She helped me set up and run the club and site from the start, and it was Dawn that got me into Honda's! Sadly, she passed away after a very brave fight with cancer (Jan 2013) and is very much missed by myself and a lot of the members here. Her spirit in the club lives on in her car, her beloved Civic Aerodeck ES known as "DD" in the forum (Dawns Deck). It's a car that's been tastefully modded, and one I will keep for ever.

    Recently, I met my new partner Gayle (aka Gayle in the forum) and she has been amazing! She's totally turned my life around, and makes me happy. Luckily, she's a petrol head too! She's also become a big part of Civic5, and loves the Honda scene now too! We got married in June 2017.
     
    Anyways, enough about me! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, and welcome to Civic5

    Looks hard as nails that!

    Nothing is ever straight forward with the Civic Ms! With they had been obd2, make things a lot simpler. You going to by the harness? Probably the only easy option I think.

    Hi George, glad you finally got into the forum😃. Love Greece, been to a lot of the Greek islands many times and spotted a few Civics there! That's a stunning pre face-lift Civic you have there, looks really sweet! Enjoy the club and don't forget to download our official Honda service manual. Tons of info in there!

    Have answered some of you questions above mate. Have a look at our downloadable service guide as I sure it lists part numbers in there for cross checking on the ones you have found.

    Just wondering if anyone's heading to this today? Usually a massive show. We're just about to head over in DD.
  6. Dave
    Yeah, I saw that one too! Not been modded, totally original. Low miles too, would be nice to see it end up in the club.
  7. Dave
    Lol there's always a chance!

    Mate that would be amazing if you still have it! Just think she looks kinda odd after being so used to her wearing them for god knows how many years! Lol

    Took a few photos yesterday. Bumper is obviously fooked but least its not hanging off now lol. New headlight etc all working fine and new headlight washer fitted and working too. She looks not bad to be fair! Will be even better once I get the new bumper painted/fitted along with painting the bonnet and spoiler.

    Meant to update this! Headlight was smashed to bits at the back so fitted one of my spare ones. Slam panel was slightly bent but got it bang on straight again so headlight sitting flush with bumper/wing/bonnet again. Managed to cut a small metal plate to size and riveted I to ghe top of the bumper to replicate the bolt holes that were ripped off the bumper, so it's now bolted back into place solid using the original bolt holes on the wing. Still got a nasty crack, but tbh looks pretty decent and least she's back on the road. Picked up the new bumper and crash bar, so will get them painted and fitted along with painting the front spoiler and bonnet. Thanks to Camy also picked up a job lot of spares including two front wings, steering wheel, oem honda civic MB/MC radio, injectors, and various other bits....all for £20! Then got the aerodeck spares car to call about when we get back from hols tomorrow so might have a complete deck for spares. Things looking up in DDs world again! Will post pics of the repair now she's on the road again.

    Gutted! Driving DD to work on Friday and had an accident 😭 Deer ran straight out in front of me, jammed the brakes on but still hit it hard. Front bumper gone, fog light, headlamp washer jet, slam panel at headlight pushed back about a cm. And her ultra rare honda headlight protectors smashed😭 Have managed to locate a bumper and crash bar, and have spare headlight washer. Got a spare set of fogs somewhere but damned if I can find em!

    Nice mate! Glad you got it sorted out and good to know you have a map there in case any members are needing one/info.
