  • 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

    Yeah, deffo another vote for the Climairs, better quality and superior fit compared to Team Heko and others.
  2. Dave
    Need to see pics of this mate, sounding good so far!
  3. Dave
    Deffo worth it! DD was out the other night away into the middle of nowhere to pick up a pool table. Roads were all single track to a wee house that's in the middle of the hills. Was pitch dark and totally off grid. The roads (more like tracks tbh!) were shocking but she did it. Now covered in mud all over life a rally car! Defo not shiny like Tubs!😁

    Absolutely outstanding work mate, that's better than some garages I know! Back to being one solid MB, no rust to worry about on that one now. Really enjoying watching an reading your progress mate, amazing write up and photos.😎👍

    As Simon said mate, it would be hard to tell from photos of them if they'll actually fit. On saying that, there is some similarities between the sedan and the Civic Ms depending if it's the ek/ej based on or the Domani based one. Domain ones might have a chance of fitting I think, but again I wouldn't put money on it! Lol

    Good shout mate, I'll se about getting this added to FAQ. And thank you, cracking info there!

    Looking forward to the updates mate. How hard was it to remove the fuel filler pipe from the car and also the tank? DDs is looking like it needs a good clean up and been wanting to take the tank out for a while to get it cleaned up and protected. Know they are like hens teeth!

    Tubs is looking amazing! What a depth to that shine mate!

    Oh, and bit of an oversight on my part, didn't realise it at the time but her insurance ran out on the day we drove into Edinburgh! 😲 Didn't even get a renewal letter/email! On the plus side, went looking for a new quote and actually got her insurance way cheaper than it's ever been so well happy. Went with OneCall, same company I've got Lexy insured with. Turns out Gayle has Foxy her wee Micra with them too. Bit of a high excess though at £350, but hey-ho would rather have the cheaper premium and take that hit if the worst comes. All in, with breakdown cover, protected no claims, legal cover, courtesy car etc fully comp is £197, although because I'm doing it monthly comes in at £206. Pretty decent!

    Had the gritters out a couple of times lately up here too so keeping DD well away from it lol. Did have her out for a run into Edinburgh last week to pick up a kitchen island (she's such a "practical classic" lol) and she drove nice. Funny how small she felt after driving the TypeS! Even though she's the biggest car we have, we both commented the design of her made her feel smaller. Dashboard isn't as deep as new cars, so windscreen is much closer to you, that kind of thing. Was nice to be driving her again though!

    Welcome mate. Nice looking Aerodeck that, looks clean. Things to prevent on these... rust,rust and rust! Rear arches, sills at rear and also inner sills. They also rust away from left to right along the boot floor, kinda up behind the tank out of sight. Mechanics wise, usual thing like giving them a good service to keep them on song. Your timing belt is probably due changing too.

    Indicator issues

    Dave replied to Dan wade's question in SOS! Help!!

    I've banned the IP mate. Maybe give you a call at the weekend and show you how to do it. Have noticed the admin panel is hardr to navigate on the tablet compared to the laptop.
