And a cheeky wee photo, before it gets fitted. The chrome lettering has still got some gluey crap on it from the masking tape, but I'll leave it about a week before getting it off with some white spirit. Just heard back from honda, the new gasket is in stock so will be picking that up probs Monday

Oh my word!!!!! The beasty is alive!!!! Sounds sweet as mate, and a totally epic build! Had to laugh at your face in the vid, pure cheesing!!!!! And quite rightly too! Makes me want another Tina now, or something old Ford. Really like the custom front end on it, the lights etc kinda give it an almost mk3 tina look/American muscle car look. When she gonna be hitting the streets?

Damn sorry to see you've sold up mate, she was a cracking looking deck. Been through your village a couple of times this week and wondered why I didnt see her! Good to hear she'd gone to someone who's had a civic M before, hopefully means she'll be looked after (and we'll see her again!). Was the coupe modded before you bought it? Keep seeing a gunmetal grey coupe going around here, and there's a blue one and silver one too. All modded. Looking forward to seeing it, and glad your staying with the club Get the coupe along to the next meet!

Well, not been up to much with DD lately, so thought I better get some stuff done! One thing I've been looking to change is the temp rocker/cam cover that I fitted for Japfest2 last year (the pinky/purple one). Bought it as a temp one whilst I prepped and painted DD's own cover, and tbh, the paint finish on the temp one was gash! It had been done before I bought it, and I wasn't really happy with the finish (or colour). So, been busy sanding down and prepping. The covers have some "join lines" from when they were cast, which I wanted rid of as it would spoil the look, so I machined them out to give it a cleaner look. Next up, I decided that the cover was gonna be colour coded to the car (Orleans Blue) but wanted some bling to break it up. Long term plans are doing some air brushing to it aswell. So I machined the "HONDA" lettering smooth, then used a metal polishing kit to bring them up to a chrome finish. Which should look good with the blue. Just finished it around 10 mins ago, has had around 6 coats of lacquer, and is looking sweet! Now got it baking at 80 degrees (don't ask!) so should be ready for taking the masking off the lettering. Just been on the phone to Honda (waiting on a call back) as I'm ordering up new rocker cover gasket, new rocker bolts and the wee rubber seals that go in the spark plug holes. Want it all as good as new. Hoping the new bolts are chromed like the ones I got for Ruby, if not, may metal polish them. Pics to follow once its ready!! Going to see about a stainless manifold for her next, and then some more engine bay detailing. Should look good along with the blue hose kit from Chandler. Also going to do a small exterior mod, but keeping it secret just now!

Yeah, they approached us to be traders, and going by the name they used, we believed they were an actual Honda dealership (there's one with the exact same name). We found out quickly they weren't though (and banned them from the forum) ,and as said above, there was a hella lot of bad press about them on FB at the time. Not sure if they have changed or have become more reputable, but personally I would steer well clear.

Time seems to go by so quickly guys. Nick was one of the good guys, and a credit to this club and everyone who knew him. Hard to believe it's been a year since he passed away. Been 2 years since Dawn passed away too, and still feels like it was yesterday. That's the effect good people like these have on us all, and we'll never stop missing them Bet they've both been watching us in the club from up there (and knowing them, probably taking the pee!). But at least we had the pleasure of knowing them and being a part of their lives, and for that, we'll always be thankful

No probs Mae! Get yourself a wee holiday over here, and we'll get a civic5 meet organised! Be great to see you (and your civic in the metal!)

Just spotted this, look at what Mike and Ed have got coming in! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10207402926610357&set=a.2449014703728.2150580.1202785272&type=1&theater Cant wait to see this!

@mae-civic We've added them to the civic5 shop Mae. Pricing wise, I wasn't able to set it up to sell in euros, has to be GB pounds, so have checked the amount using a currency convertor. The payments are set so they go direct to you. Can you check them in the civic5 shop and let me know if there's anything that needs changing, and double check the price to make sure its ok? I used the details you used in the first post in this thread, and edited it slightly for the advert. Hopefully this will help you to sell more, and thanks again for getting these made.

Just setting this up at the moment

Perfection!

Deffo mate, looking forward to the pics! Resizing wise, if your posting from a computer, you dont need to use photobucket anymore, you can upload them straight to the forum now And you don't need to resize them either, making it all easier now to share your photos. Unfortunately we dont have the upload facility in the mobile theme as the forum doesnt support it.

Damn, sorry to see this build come to an end. Hopefully she'll stay in the club though. Had her looking stunning mate, perfect VTiS. As Tom says, stick around mate and let us see the Mazda, pop it up in the other projects section. Be good to see it!

Coming along nicely mate!

lol no transporter until the VTiS is done! Looking forward to seeing it come back together mate.

The list of replies to those new wheel nuts is endless........................nice nuts mate................They look the nuts.....lol They look amazing mate, always love the attention to wee details on this deck. They look like bullets, never seen any like that before. I take it they is from the states? Love them mate, I need new ones for the deck too!

lol it is indeed Tom! Decks looking good mate, and as said, get some pics of the S2K up too. Would love an S2K, came close to buying one before I got the TypeR. Two boxes I have to tick before I pop my clogs...................own an MX5 and then an S2K.....................but maybe not in that order! lol

Damn, shame about the engine mate, but just means this time you can future proof it upgrading internals. That turbo looks massive lol Just take your time building her back up mate, will be well worth it On the plus side...............................£500 for that is200! Bargain right there!!!!

That looks totally amazing mate!!!! The red eye looks bloody evil haha, loving it! Deffo one of my fav VTiS of all time, love the mods you've done to her!

That looks stunning! Bet it sounds sweet too Mae!

She's looking good mate!

I'll have a look, see if theres a way to set up payments to go to Mae. Might be tricky though as it will show in the payment options for all stuff for sale (memberships, mugs etc) so need to see if we can get it to just show for mae's products.

lol Welcome back to the future (my fav film!!) Jamie. Sorry about all the problems with the account mate, hopefully working on a solution that should help. Not had any word back from IPS yet so have sent them another reminder to see if we can get a fix for it.

lol Glad to hear you got it open mate. Never heard of the struts seizing before, so that's a new one! Will be handy to know in case any other members get the same fault

Yaaaaas!!
