    I know the genuine Honda brake pads come with these mate, but doubt after market ones will. Think its a brake pad retainer spring/clip, you can call Honda and ask if thyey sell these separate, but I imagine they'll come as a complete kit.

    mega impressive mate!

    Looking good! Money spent in the right place with the brakes mate. Them sensors are a pain in the MB owners ass, the price for them new is ridiculous! Sounds like you got a bargain! Would have loved to see the owners of the other cars that failed the mot when yours just sailed through!!! lmao

    lol Your MB6 looked amazing at the meet mate, and was great to meet you. Regarding the keep/sell dialema I'd probably keep her if it was me. She's in really great condition, and if you feel the suspensions a tad to hard for everyday running, you can always opt to soften the damping a wee bit. If you think the mb6 is too hard for cruising, you'll be seriously pissed off with the FN2 mate! Although it handles superb, the set up is really overly stiff, and sometimes it's more of a chore to drive it than enjoyable. All depends on what the roads are like where you are. I love the FN2, and even though I've contemplated selling it a few times, there's nothing out there I'd want to replace it with. They are really nice cars, look fresh even though the oldest ones are getting on for 8 years old now, the interior is like nothing else ever, and they're fast enough even in standard trim. But when I jump in the deck, which is lowered on MeisterR's, it just feels nice not to tense up every time you see a bump in the road! I have the suspension set so its a lot stiffer than standard, but its still soft enough to be enjoyable just cruising around. With the FN, unless you change the suspension, you'll be stuck with the hard ride. Difficult one to decide mate! PS: Oh, and if you get a puncture........................................................lmao you've seen the results at the meet! at least with the MB6 you'll be on your way quickly with no hassles!! The FN2 especially if its on big bloody wheels like mine, is a pain! I've had to buy an EP3 wheel as a spare since the meet, but it doenst fit in the spare wheel well. so takes up boot space.

  12. Dave
    wholly feck! you'll need to use a trolley jack to get over fag butts! lmao Yeah you're right on the wheels mate, think I saw pics of the EP on them, so deffo a first on the Civic M's. Always good to be the first, a scene setter!
  13. Dave
    lol Jammy sod!!
  14. Dave
    hmmm, might be that way round then! Will need to consult the good old Haynes book of bollocks to see what the actual pattern for bleeding the brakes is!

    Loving it mate, looking really sweet. Seeing the wheels in black, and with the car being PB, the white lettering reminds me of one that used to be on here years ago. B18 Beans (Ben) had the same theme going on, all black apart from the white tyre lettering, and I just thought it looked the nuts! I'm gonna do this on the deck, as its something I used to do to all my cars years ago. Seems to be making a comeback! You planning new wheels again??? You only just got them lol You're going into chandlers league now with wheel changes! lmao

    Looking sweet as mate, love the whole purple and white theme, and those rims look amazing! Always wanted a white deck, rare as feck, especially a vti one. Just think they look really good in this colour. Subs looking good too! Whats the new parts, or are they being kept secret? lol PS: photo updates : Forum, whatthefeckapp, Facewank, twatter, etc etc.....................Thats THE CIVIC5 rules of order!! lol We want pics in here first where we can all see them!

    Looking minty fresh mate, loving the rainbow pics! Pirates black does look awesome when the sun hits it, and love this deck! Looks sweet!
  18. Dave
    Thats pretty good going mate, all cheap to fix! Always good to get that fresh ticket on it eh!
  19. Dave
    Mega cudos to you doing this work yourself mate, makes it even more satisfying when its all back together and problem is fixed. I want to get the engine out of DD sometime soon to get the bay fully detailed, and get the engine all cleaned and painted. Luckily never had any engine probs with her at all in the 12 or so years we've had her now, engine seems really healthy so won't be taking it apart! lol Might even do a wire tuck on her, will see how it all goes. Love following your build mate, always a lot of work going on and a very interesting read!

    That was Gav (vtiVroom) from Manchester mate, was up with Simon. Your deck was looking stunning at the meet, and was great to finally meet you! lol

    @fyfie5 If it's been empty mate, there will most probably be air in the system. Can't remember the exact sequence for bleeding them, as its been a while since I did them, but think its rear left first, then front drivers side, then rear right and lastly front pass side. Top up the resevoir first though, and leave the cap off during the whole process. You'll need to keep topping it up as you go, so keep and eye on it. Don't let it go down far or again, you'll be drawing air in. If you're stuck, you can bring it down to mine if you want and I'll give you a hand to do it in my garage? As long as all the bleed nipples free off easily, it's a doodle to bleed the brakes mate. I usually order a full set of new ones before I start so that any dodgy ones can be replaced One last thing though, if the fluid resevoir was empty (or almost) then I suspect you have a leaking rear cylinder, a leak at the front calipers, or possibly the master cylinder itself. Have a good look around the above areas for any sings of fluid weeping out.
