    Loving the usdm indicator/sidelight mod mate, looks superb. Also loving the new wheels, should look amazing on her! Seems everyones getting their valve clearances done at the moment!

    Really loving the look of that mate! As said above, most folk are de-tangoing the lights! Nice to see someone going a different route. Quite fancy doing this to the deck too!
  5. Dave
    Fair play doing this yourself mate, I wouldn't have a clue! You should have done a how to guide for it, would have been a good one to have! Bet she's really nice and quiet now!

    Hi there mate. You can indeed! I take going by your username that you've got a Rover 45? We have a few Rover owners in here! These share quite a few parts with our Civics, although the later ones electrics were changed over to BMW wiring so mostly just the older Rover 400/45's share the same electricals, but yeah, brakes etc should be the same. I know the rear calipers are the same depending on which model, but not sure on the fronts? Maybe someone else knows? And put some photos up in our Members Cars/Other cars section bud, we all like car pics here! Enjoy the site!

    Love that engine bay! I need to get a stainless manifold for DD!
  9. Dave
    lol indeed, don't think anyone here has redone the rocker cover with it in situ! Be nice to see how it turns out bud. Liking all the purple additions to the bay.

    lol yeah, was one of the first things I did to Ruby when I bought her, bloody hate them things! Amazing how much they actually weigh too!
  11. Dave
    lmao, what yo mean with F1 or moto gp?
  12. Dave
    Sweet looking mb6 mate, very clean! Reg seems familiar too, poss a previous civic5 members car? The C6 should be cool too!
  13. Dave
    That's right, that was Gavin's car. Is it not on his project build?
  14. Dave
    love the MOTO GP! Will add it to my list of things to watch!!
  15. Dave
    Had a look and I can't find it either mate. I'm not sure if one actually got done and added to the how to's, seem to remember a member did it and it was on their project thread how to do it? Anyone remember who actually did the how to?
  16. Dave
    lol That'll be because they're pee'd off at losing the F1. Coverage was pretty ok apart from the adverts. Race wise, the new qualy format is a huge fail and looks like it's going to be changed again so should be interesting. Quite a bit of good action in this race mate, especially midfield teams! Enjoyed it so looking forward to the next race.

    lol can't escape my accent! lol If the rubber stops are as low as they'll go, then it might be worth seeing if the catch can be moved down slightly. Again, not sure if there's room for adjustment on those but imagine there must be some. If that doesn't fix it then it could be the front panel has been badly fitted so getting things to line up will be hard. All trial and error I guess, seeing what gets it sitting right.
  18. Dave
    Looking good Karen! Grill looks way better, and loads of nice we mods you've got so far. Regarding the bonnet height, if memory serves me right there should be rubber adjustable stops that you can turn to get it sitting lower? Not sure how much adjustment you'll have with the bonnet catch. Think it's maybe down to who ever repaired her in the past has maybe not spent enough time lining things up properly, but you should be able to get it sitting better than it is just now. Does the front slam panel look like it's been replaced at some point? The two front wings appear to have been replaced so quite probable that has too. Might mean more fiddling to get it all sitting nice and flush. Excellent progress so far though!
  19. Dave
    Just about to watch the race highlights. Will be interesting to see how channel 4 host it this year! The new qualifying format has proved to be an epic FAIL! Drivers and team bosses are already calling for it to be changed! Oh the drama!!
  20. Dave
    Forgot to say...............the Osram Night breakers make an amazing difference! Love these bulbs!
  21. Dave
    Grill looks sweet Karen, nice job! That's gonna really change the look of the front, looking forward to seeing it fitted. RE the rear arch rubbers, I'd put them back on. Contrerary to urban myths, they do actually save the rear arch lips from stone damage etc, and as long as kept clean will really preserve the arches.
  22. Dave
    That's a really strange one mate and not something we've heard of before. It could be that the pad itself has moved due to the metal clip breaking away from it, hence why you got the metal on metal noise. Is there actually a retaining screw on the rear discs? Or has it been left off when someones changed the pads previously? It may be that the screw has sheared when they've gone to remove it, so might still be a bit still in there? The wheel bolts do hold it in place when tightened up so it shouldn't move other than the directions its meant to. Honda sell the retaining screws mate. Bought a few from my main dealership (Western Honda). New discs and pads should have you all sorted. @m0l0t0v

    Could well be low on oil mate so make that your first port of call. Change the oil as these boxes love fresh oil! If that doesn't cure it, if you can, get hold of a standard shift and swap out the short shifter, see if it's maybe that that's at fault. If still the same, have a lookat where the selector goes into the box, make sure alls well there. If still the same, could be clutch/release bearing worn. I now Ruby had a really stiff gear change just before the clutch went (well, I say went, i changed it just in time! It fell to pieces when they removed it!) but felt like a whole new car with a new clutch fitted. Gear changes were precise and smooth. Need to update your profile too now if you have an MB6! lol Looking forward to seeing this one soon bud. Might need to get a few members together for a wee jaunt now the better weathers here.
