As above mate, plus the B18C4 intake has IAB aswell

Wow! Looks stunning mate!

looking forward to seeing those new rims on mate! Gonna look sweet i reckon!

Tyres are quite a personal preference tbh. Each has their own brand that they've found to suit their needs, some for different reasons. I had them ecsta sports on my FN2 TypeR when I first got it from the dealership (they fitted them, brand new tyres) but have got to say.......................I hated them. Not sure if it was just the type of car they were on, but honestly found in the wet the car was undriveable, to the point where it was down right dangerous! And not talking about driving it hard or at speed, just trying to even pull away from junctions was an effort, the car spinning up in 1st, 2nd, and sometimes third with hardly any throttle. Cornering wise, it basically didnt!! lol I had them on the car about 2 weeks and then binned them before I ended up binning the car! Maybe just a bad batch of tyres? As other folk have had good results with them, but I also had a set on a wee Seat Ibiza I had (no laughing!!) and it was also a bit of a handful in the rain. I've had Toyo T1R's on my MB's which were great in the dry, really grippy. In the wet, not too bad, but found during the winter they were useless. They are a decent tyre, but dont last long. Wear is a big issue with them! But still recommend them. One tyre I've never had any problems with is GoodYear. Had the GoodYear Efficient Grips on Ruby, and they were fantastic, in the wet or dry. Tons of grip, and last well too. I've now got GoodYear Eagles on the FN2, and the difference in grip is amazing. Totally planted in the dry, great grip in the wet and also predictable grip in the wet. They've also been pretty decent throughout the winter too, the very cold temps not affecting them much. So I'd recommend GoodYears. Only prob with them is the price. The deck (DD) has Pirelli contact sports? (If I remember rightly!! lol) and these too have been really decent. Not sure of wet weather grip as the DD is never out in the rain if I can help it, and never gets driven hard anyways. So for normal driving, these are also good. On my Civic TypeS FN1, I changed the tyres all round to Avons (just weeks before I traded her in too! Doh!) and these are another tyre I'd rate well. Good grip and not too expensive either, so a good all rounder. The way I always look at buying tyres though is this...........no matter what car you have, what upgrades (suspension etc) you have, the only contact your car has with the road is the tyres. Thats the only thing keeping you going in the direction you want to go. So I never scrimp on the cost of decent tyres. Always Buy the best you can afford

Excellent mate, good to see members getting into the group buys. Saves everyone money which is always a good thing! Can you post it up in classifieds too mate, with a link to this thread for people to add their names to. If you can use an image from that site for display, that would be perfect.

Yeah, deffo need to adjust the catch mate otherwise it wont stay closed. Its mega easy to do though, and means it all fits perfectly. And they just sit in there, no bolting down neccessary bud. Means you can still use the console for storing stuff which is good, as the mbs are lacking in storage space/cubby holes. Really sweet mb6 you picked up, looks really clean and tidy.

No mate, they're a very different shape. As Tom says, indicators are a different shape, and the front of the wing where it meets the bumper is also at a different height.

Thanks Gerry, appreciate the nice comments. Makes it all worth while! I've restored a few Mark 3 cortinas (one of my all time fav cars!) just love the old classics. Always fancied a 1600E, very sweet cars, and them old dollys could shift!! Mark 3 wise I've had a 2000E (modded with white 8 spoke weller wheels, front spoiler, boot spoiler, rear window louvre, flat pan air filter, sports back back box, oh and CB radio of course! lol) and 2 x GXL's. Hoping that one day Dawns deck will be considered a classic.

Ahh, still not too far away mate, just up the road. Some "interesting " roads up there lol.

Excellent news mate! That's who I'm with too, did me a great deal on the deck! One of the benefits of civic5 being a proper club

Did you get the rear bumper mate? Love this wee mb, looks the nuts!

@Matt_N lol loving the hotwheels on the dash and rear shelf! Ive got a scale metal model of roxy on her dash! Now without sounding old, back in my younger days of car modding, my first mk3 cortina (a 2000E no less, one of my fav cars of all time!) I had a few larger scale metal model cars on the parcel shelf, and had their taillights fitted with wee led's that lit up with my brake lights!!!! lol sounds mad now but looked pretty cool back then! Been looking to try something similar with my typeR model, but being 1.43 scale its a bit harder to get lights in there. Although I have a slightly bigger one thats remote controlled and has working lights............hmmmmmm ideas are churning! Still looking to try and produce a scale model aerodeck!

Your civic looks sweet on the stand Matt! Defo prefer it on the cups, nice combo with the cascade green that mate. Whats the next planned mods for her?

well, had DD in for her MOT.................and she passed! Well chuffed! Got her brake fluid changed at the same time, and she drove perfectly for the whole trip. Pitty it rained on the way home, which meant she got filthy! Had to put her back into the garage still dirty as the rain stayed on. Not happy! lol Got her all washed and polished again though, so she's looking top dollar. Had her out for a wee run down to Musselburgh through the week as it was a nice sunny day, and got caught up in a long traffic jam. Couldnt believe the looks she was getting from drivers who were stuck going in the opposite direction....lots of stares and a few thumbs up! Love driving her, although that doesnt show in her mileage for this years mot. How many miles since her mot last year?? Well, its gone up by a big bit..................2 thousand miles in a year! Was only 700 miles the last time lol. Going to give her another polish ready for the St Marys Loch Memorial meet next month, and try and get her new rocker cover done in time too. She's sitting pretty!

How the hell did I miss this project thread!!!!! What an absolute steal of a price for the deck mate! Love what you've done with her, looks sweet as! Noticed in your early pics your only about 3 miles away from me too! How the heck have I not seen this going about???? Recognise the old ruined buildings in the back drop of the photos aswell......what happened to that place? Used to operate dumper trucks from there if I remember rightly? You mentioned you were moving though, not too far away I hope! Would be good to get some photos of your deck and DD together, fancy a wee photoshoot sometime before the meet? keep up the good work on her mate, and dont sell up! Awesome build! 8-)

Really sweet mb6 mate, like it a lot! I was in a vtis once that had the ek9 gearbox and the acceleration was immense, like you say, no dropping out of VTEC.

Does seem a bit odd. The rears I think will mostly be the same across the range, whereas the fronts will be different according to the model they came from (different engine weights etc) This could explain why the front is currently sitting high...they could be from the V6 mgzs which will have heavier springs/shocks. What mb do you have? (Need to fill in your profile so it shows your car . )The mb shocks should be fine with the Ebach springs, if they're matched to your mb (mb2, Mb6 etc)

read about this too, wonder if it affects the new typeR! have to say I'm not impressed with hondas latest cars, build quality aint what it used to be!
