  1. Them fogs have cleaned up nice! I might have a wee trick to show soon about a possible replacement for the broken lenses we all suffer from at some point on the civic M's so stay tuned! If it works, it'll be a cost effective repair that looks almost oem at first glance!
  2. Probably safer to stick with the easier mods mate with the auto box. Air filter/exhaust/de-cat (if you can be bothered with the changing at mot time lol) , then possibly cams etc. You could still just go the turbo route, as there are tons of cars that have a turbo and are auto's, although they were mostly designed form the offset to have the turbo on them, so not sure how well the civic autobox would cope. Looking good so far though, and I'd go with the mgzs shocks/eibach springs, as you ideally want to keep the same springs all round.
  3. Only two entries?? C'mon, roll up roll up! Where are all these tasty M's hiding!? Voting will start on Friday, so get them in now!
  4. Yep mate, a 1.6 ES is what you need. They did the ES in both Non-vtec (same as Dawns deck) or with vtec (same as Rob kyekye09's deck) All ES's come with leather and are basically the top of the range (bar the vti) Civic M's. They also did the 1.6 SE (like the advert above) but no leather in them. There's also the 1.5 vtec deck too!
  5. yeah, they're getting really hard to find now mate. As good as my mb6 is, i still really miss this one. Never saw it again after i sold her
  6. Damn, I like them both! Any more entries, get tyem in now guys. Voting will be starting shortly

  9. I didnt have any issues regarding the mot mate (and the place we get ours done are really strict! ) The brake light was still unobscured when viewed from a car traveling behind
  10. Yo Jamie, did yopr bro get his account registered yet? Had a look and activated a few more today, so not sure if his has been one of them? Both the Ms looking top dollar, nice and clean! (Ruby is a diarty biatch at the moment! lmao)
  11. Thats a stunning finish on the rocker mate, and the PB is spot on!
  12. The detail on this car is amazing mate! keep up the good work!
  13. Hi mate. 13volts when everything is off sounds about right, and you're correct that the cranking does take a lot of power when starting up. it sounds as though the battery is fine (though its always hard to say for sure!). As the car fired up after you had disconnected the earth/reconnected it, I would have a good check to make sure the whole earth cable is intact. Give both the terminals on the battery a good clean up with a wire brush, and also the connections on the ends of the live/earth cables. Make sure they are both connected up good and tight, and cover them with a light layer petrolium jelly or something similar. It does sound like a bad connection, so best (and cheapest!) to start there first. If you can, get the test meter and test the car when starting to see what readings you get (after you've done the above ). Also, see what readings you get on tick over, and with a slight rev (to around 2500rpm). It's good practice to make sure everything (electrical) is turned off when starting the car, as it saves putting extra strain on the battery. I always turn off heaters/radio/lights etc before I turn off the engine, that way everythings already off when it comes time to start the car. Are there any other symptoms? Hope this helps!
  14. lol, that pics been doing the rounds for a few years eh! Incentive indeed! lol
  15. haha! Not that youve been counting the days or owt! lol Love this thread!
  16. Hi mate. you'll also need the wiring harness from the pumps to the bay, and from the switch to the fuse box. There is also a relay as far as i can remember. If you check the inernal fusebox, there's a space where the fuse for the washers should be, so you should be able to hook it all up.
  17. The mg shocks go well on the deck. Rob (kyekye09 has them on his, sits nicely! Mind get some pics of the deck up bud, looking forward to seeing it
  18. Them wheels are the biggest pain in the bum to keep clean ever! Just gives me another excuae to wash her lol, although in this weather it aint something I look forward to! She's back on the white speedlines again, as the snow didnt amount to much. Forgot to get a pic with the grey 5 spokes on doh! Rob, did you get the deck? I've not seen any new decks round here yet, but will watch out for ya! lol Gimme a shout next time mate Usually out and about in it most days, or driving Dawns deck on the other days! Thanks for the comments, nice to see Ruby has got a fan club lol
  19. Looks like a very tidy mb6, good base to start with mate!
  20. And the winner is KiNK43 ! Well done mate!! I'll go get your car onto our homepage and the 2012 cotm page
