Cracking work so far mate. You make it sound so easy lol. Hoping to see this at a Civic5 meet (if we ever get one organised again!) Be good to see it in the metal.

Soooo many wants there! Not sure about the feet though lmao😆 Tubs is looking sweet as mate, nice to see her at shows repping the Civic Ms! Wonder who owns the wee silver MB?

We're away on hols then I think. Not being to Donnington for ages, last time we were there was on the civic5 stand in 2014! Jeese! We really need to hit the shows again!

Is that wrapped in that last video? The shine looks awesome and the amount of metallic in it is amazing!

That's a whole lot of work you've been doing mate, hats off to you! Nice to see these Civics being pampered and cared for.

Sad to see you selling mate, really stunning deck that. If she does sell, be sure to point the owner here to the forum and our Facebook group. Would be nice to follow her progress.

Looks alright that, I can't put ine there now because of the flip out touchscreen. Damn!

Hahaha, tell me bout it! Think I'm just getting/got old, but prefer really buttons. The pioneer is an amazing bit of kit too, has Spotify etc and nav via my phone. Can also change the colour of the display and buttons individually, so have got the led display set to an off white colour to match the dash. Can also customise the colours, so the keys light up in the exact same blue as the background on the speedo and rev counter. Actually looks pretty decent!

Deffo mate, roads up here are shocking with mud, salt etc so she's staying well out of it lol

Not sure the inner arch is available mate so might need to fabricate your own from some sheet steel.

Not done much to Lexy other than enjoy her! Did however get a few jobs done that needed seeing to. Top display on the dash for the radio/climate control was wonky (common fault on these) so got it removed then spent time re soldering around 40 pins on the display! Plugged back in, al working perfectly. was never a fan of the head unit in these, so did a double din conversion a and splashed out on one of the top android double din touch screen units, am Atoto A6. Cracking bit of kit! However, after 3 weeks, I hated it! Far too fiddly to work when driving, and more distractions than I need! So out it came! Replaced it with a double din pioneer with no touch screen, and all proper physical buttons. The led display is quite large too, so mega easy to see and also a doddle to operate. Well chuffed with it! Oh, and she has the wee miniature Lexy fitted to the dash that was in Lexy one lol Also fitted a brand new TypeS gear knob as had an alloy "FakeR" one fitted. Still got the DAB ariel to fit, but everything works including the steering wheel controls. Only other thing to note is that a prat in a new BMW decided to go for a gap that wasn't there and took my drivers side door mirror clean off! Bastid! Git didn't even stop! Mirror was in 3 bits, dangling by its cable. The casing was taken clean off on impact, and gas z crack in it. The mirror glass is also cracked in various places. I managed to get I all put back together at the roadside (at night, in the bloody rain) and amazingly the electric movement of the mirror still works! The powerfold and heated side don't though so will replace the whole thing. Oh, and just ordered the front wind deflectors for her so will get them this coming week. Also bought and fitted the TypeR rear spoiler, which makes her lok so much better imo. Driving wise, she has been spot on, have already got her up from 64K on the clock to just under 70K! All driving beautify and without any issues. Love this car!

Nowt much to report other than DD is tucked up in the garage under her car cover for the winter. Enjoy the rest DD 🙂

Remember and get a wee project thread going mate so we can follow your progress, if you haven't got one started already.

Yeah, no way I was entertaining that price! Beginning to wish I'd bought that spares deck for £500 now! It's still there, but got loads more I need to be spending money on so once I'm done if it's still there I might jump on it.

As Simon says, they were never available new from anywhere else's other than Honda. You can still order them from Honda (I was going to get a new one for my deck after the encounter with the deer a few months ago) but they can't give a delivery date to the dealership. Said they are in Belgium (possibly) but could be a matter of weeks or possibly months. Price has also gone up dramatically, I paid £250 for my new one for my mb6 from Honda. Now they are £550! Best bet is getting one from a breaker.
