Nice bit of kit Jake! And the hose set looks amazing, need to get me finger out and get DD's all fitted! She's looking sweet mate!

Lol welcome back mate. I think the 38's should fit, though not too sure with the width being 7in. With the 4x100 stud pattern, there are plenty options for alloys though . I've got a set of 15's for sale just now in the classifieds section. Good to see your staying with the civic m though......there's just something about them that bring previous owners back to them.

Great read Jerrick, and great result! I'm never done recommending MeisterR suspension to people I know are looking for a suspension upgrade, but are unsure what to go for. Having had a set on my MB6, then another set for the aerodeck, I simply can't fault them. At the last Civic5 meet (St Marys loch, Scotland) I found due to the road we drove on during the run being a single track, really uneven one, the car was grounding a fair bit. First stop for photoshoot, and I adjusted the stiffness (2 min job) to a stiffer setting all round, and this cured the bottoming out. Enjoyed the rest of the run immensly! So great design being able to adjust things even when you're out and about, and most comfortable ride I've had in a car fitted with coilovers. As Tina turner once said....."simply the best!"

lol doubt they'll let me stick my go-pro to it, but will find a way of getting a video if I get a test drive! Who knows, I might even like the car and get one! (would have to sell my house and my soul first though to afford it!)

They do tend to get leaks in the top corners of the windscreen as they get older. I found that it depends on where you park! Park on a perfectly level bit of ground, its fine.................any kind of uneven ground and they leak! Seems to be that the bond round the screen deterioates, and can create a gap for water to get in. The gap can be tiny, and with my MA8 1.4 civic, I found that the cars shell actually flexes a tiny bit when parked on uneven ground, just enough to make the gap big enough to let water in. It's hard to tell, but one thing I noticed that was the sound when closing the passenger door (depending on the ground it was parked on) changed, sounded like the door hinge had dropped slightly. Parked on flat ground, everything was fine! If it is that there's two cures...... Permenant cure is to get a new windscreen fitted. Second cure is to remove all the plastic trim around it and try and re-seal it with silicon or something similar.

Not seen one in the metal yet, but was disappointed Honda made all the fuss over it using pictures of the concept, which in my eyes looks naff all like the final production model. The new R might grow on me, but at the moment I prefer the looks of my FN2 TypeR to the new one. But then thats because I've never liked the 9th gen civics, think they dulled the look too much on them. Its getting good reviews in most of the car mags though, so always a good thing for Honda. Waiting for it to arrive in our local showroom (this month apparently) so will have a look and maybe book a test drive. I imagine though that there will be a "deposit" that needs to be paid before any test drives?

I did get covers made for both Ruby and DD (DAVEMB2 now has Ruby's cover) but they cost around £240 each if I remember rightly. Mega expensive, but they fitted them like a glove as both were tailor made to fit both cars. They're double lined, so cloth on the outside and fleece on the inside. Mine aren't waterproof though (as the cars were going to be in the garage anyways) but they did do waterproof ones aswell.

Looks so much better on the chronos mate. And they look so damn sweet in white.....................but then I'm biased lol as I got mine done in white when I had Ruby. Pain to keep clean but well worth it for the look. Very sweet mb6 mate!

Just noticed! The PIC of the interior isn't even that car! No tinted rear windows, and that's a pic of a 5 door hatch interior! Just look at the C pillar! What a chancer!

Damn, looks good as well. Looking at the reg, that's an ex civkc5 car, can't remember who owned it though. Wouldn't mind saving it tbh, although engine deffo gonna need a lot of work. Thanks for the heads up mate

Thats some pipework right there! Constantly evolving this deck, which is why I love it so much! Great work as always Alex mate!

Get some pics of the accord up in our other projects section mate, we love to see other Hondas as well as our M's

Excellent news on the mot mate, caliper is easily sorted out. And appreciate the kind comments about the site, always good to hear our members find the right info in just a few clicks. It's what Civic5 is all about

Speak to Rich at Dynodaze mate (civicturbo79 on here), he may be able to help you.

perfection!

Agree second set of wheels look so much better! Very rare car the Cosworth mercs now, can remember when these were new!! What interior does yours have, is it the original burbery styleee cloth? Wheelere dealers once did a resto on one, was a great watch. Nice to see the rust being repaired properly mate, it's the only way to do it. The grey over the repair is the primer paint , ready for the colour then lacquer after that. Gonna watch this one! Also agree about originality but making it your own, you have to put your own stamp on a car. Its what its all about! Big fan of the 3 series tourers aswell mate, she looked a mint one!

The shop is not working Mae due to technical problems with the forum, but this should be fixed by the end of tonight I'll make sure they get more advertising once this is fixed.

yup, 2 large zippers mate. Looking forward to these!!

lol

Just let me know the postage when I get back mate and I'll sort it out for you

Money sent mate

i'll get the money to you tonight mate. will i just send the £36 now, then the postage when you know what its gonna be? I'm away as of Friday for a week, so wont be near the site, so may have to give you the postage when i get back home, if thats ok bud?

Mine were waiting for me when I got back from hols last night! Mega impressed mate, nice looking kit! Them Hermes delivery guys need shot though! There was a "missed parcel" card on the floor when I opened the door, and he'd written on it (in green bin". When I went to my wheely bin, which was full to the top with garbage, there was the parcel sitting in amongst it all! EEEW! And lucky I got back when I did, as the bins get emptied today, so my neighbour would have put my bin out for me seeing I wasnt here! Close call! Cant wait to get these fitted, gonna look amazing! Loving the photos of them on Ruby John, really makes the bay look a lot nicer Thanks again for getting these for us Alex, much appreciated mate!

My order is two large zip ones mate not an xl

I had great service from faz at funkypower a few years back, so will contact him soon to see if they'd be interested in the forum. They were civic5 traders a long time ago, but left as they too were too busy for forums, might be OK now though. Will try the others mentioned too
