    She'll only be getting a few mods, as she's the daily driver. Induction kit is one (let me know price etc Krzys), wind deflectors, tinted windows and fitting my pioneer double din sat nav head unit. Oh, and spraying my wee red typeR dash model silver! lol Other than that, I think thats about it chaps. No big mods happening, as she handles great and is plenty fast enough as standard.
  2. Dave
    Now included in the plans will be a full respray to make her paintwork flawless! And a few other trick bits done on the interior too, with some possible window tinting at some point.

    Not got any pics of the TypeR yet mate, might go down to Western Honda tomorrow and take a few But we do haver her new name picked, and a perfect name it is too! Gayle and I were trying to think what she should be called, and Gayle hit the jackpot again! Clever girl is my Gayle! All will be revealed when we pick her up Wednesday. Be sad to see Lexy go too, but she's been a brilliant car to own, so will miss her too. But then again, being in the FN2 will be like being in Lexy so alls good! Got the free insurance sorted out today and the head unit is out with the standard one back in again. Mammoth job again, but turned out good and was a lot quicker than it took me last time! Also got her all hoovered out, and replaced a few other standard parts back onto her. Was going to remove the TypeR rear lights to sell on but couldn't be bothered, so she's keeping them. Will deffo get some good photos and a proper video of Ruby done soon, one for keeps as said above

    Cheers chaps, yes deffo the right choice and one I need to stick to. The deck will always be here, she'll never ever get sold, thats a promise I made to myself, and to Dawn, so I'll always be in a civic m. Cant own a site like this and not be in the appropriate car! lol Just going out to the garage now to take the typeS appart to get the double din head unit out and refit the standard one. Massssssssive job, as most of the dashboard and complete centre console has to be removed! Also got to remove the TypeR rear lights I fitted (they'll go on flebay) and think thats about it. Busy day today!

    Exactly mate, I'll be letting them know if they dont know already about civic5, and that its in their best interests to join, even just for parts and info/advice. Hard to believe that I've actually made the decision, and started the ball rolling by getting the TypeR. No going back now! lol
  6. Dave
    lol not the new typeR, not made of money lmao! The suspension though is already spoken for if she sells without it......................DD has put first dibs on it!
  7. Dave
    Better let you all in in whats happened! Basically, I've been getting fed up having all these cars!!! My prime objective was to spend all my time (and money) on DD making her into a show car. But after buying Ruby back, it meant I didnt have the time to do it with running 3 cars, and spending time on all three. So I had to get rid of either Ruby or Lexy. This is where my rpoblem began, because I love them both, but for different reasons. Ruby for the speed, the handling, and the memories tied up in her. Lexy for the creature comforts, all the toys, and the safety. With meeting Gayle, my priorities in life have changed, as its not just me to think of anymore, I've got Gayle and my new familt to think of. So Lexy was winning the battle on the safety side. But she didnt have the fun factor that Ruby has! So it was back to even scores again. But the thought of ruby being a daily driver, even during the winter, wasnt going to work. Shes crap in the snow, and would be even worse with the lowered suspension. So again, lexy was staying and ruby was going. So had a look at a lot of other options, like selling lexy and buying something different, like an S2000 or and MX5. But again, both would be hopeless in the winter, and with only 2 seats, would only be any good if it was just me and Gayle going out. Soooo, as of today, that idea was canned! Then Gayle gave me the solution! Have the best of both worlds, the best of ruby and the best of lexy! So today we went into Honda and traded Lexy in for a stunning Civic TypeR in alabaster silver with the optional Rage alloys! Was a huge step to take, but the right one. This way, I still have the fun to drive car that ruby is, and with everything that I love about the TypeS, all the toys etc. And most importantly, one hell of a safe car to be in should the worst happen. So Lexy waves bye bye on Wednesday, and the TypeR takes her place. Ruby will be going hopefully soon after. It will save me money on insurance, road tax and mean I have all the time in the world to concentrate on the deck. She is going to be turned into the most perfect M that I can achieve, and even though shes mint just now, she is going to be a show stopper. Wont have 3 cars to tax, insure, mot and service, just 2. And those two will fit all my needs. So there ya have it guys, the reasons behind the madness! To be honest, I'm actually relieved that Gayle came to the rescue with that idea, as I have genuinely been having trouble sleeping trying to figure out what to do. Knew whatever one I sold Id regret it, for the reasons i loved that paricular one. This way, I can have the best of all worlds. Safe, fast, fun and all mod cons! So as Im at a different place in my life now, I can lock all the happy memories with Ruby and Dawn, and with Ruby and Gayle, in a wee box and keep them there forewver. My lifes on a new chapter now, and time for new memories to be made. So Gayle and me will be having lots of fun with the TypeR, and making new memories to look back on.

    Haha, not necessarily!

  10. Dave
    lol, sory mate, no can do. Theres no money troubles or anything like that bud, just cant/dont need 3 cars anymore
  11. Dave
    Possible mate, but can't keep her too long. How soon could you be in a position to buy? All will be revealed guys. This has been a huge decission to make, and I've been in turmoil the past few weeks about it, but the answer for me (to solve my too many car problems) came today.
  12. Dave
    NOW FOR SALE!

    Think the mb6 belonged to a guy from Haddington, then it went to Eskbank, but lost track of it after that mate. I think if I remember rightly the guy from woodburn stayed at Waterfall walk? He had an MA before that, but it was in an accident? Be good to see al the M's in this area up for a wee photoshoot sometime.
  14. Dave
    Welcome mate. Seen you MA9 going about a few times, but I've always been in the TypeS gt so you wouldnt have seen me. I'm up your way alot, work nearby and my besty mate also lives in your town. I've seen that mb6 going about a while back but had heard about the constant engine probs with it. Think it originally came from down my way? Looking forward to seeing your civic bud, nice to see the Pre facelift ones getting modded. I'm using Ruby (the MB6) full time just now, so am up your way going to work most weekends now. Same colour as your mates, white speedline chrono alloys on her, lowered etc. Cant miss her! lol I'll get something arranged when we get back from Japfest. We usually do a memorial run every August to St Marys loch (see videos on you tube) for my wife who was a member here too, so that will probably be happening either just before JF2 or just after it. be good to see ya there.
  15. Dave
    Mikes has to be one of my all time favourite MB's just stunning from every angle. Well deserved win, and not a B18 either for a change! Well done mate!

    I'm just off the phone to Dave and sarah. Sarah got a message from his wife too. i just cant believe this, he was doing so well. A genuinely nice guy who's been a member here for a long time. It feels like losing a member of the family, which to me and civic5, we have. He's going to be such a big loss to the civic5 team aswell, just so hard to take this in. We'll be setting up a donation system tonight for him and his family. I'll post it up in the latest news and on the sidebar, so please feel free to make a donation folks. It's going to be a very hard time for his family, so we want the club to help as much as we can.

    Ok, just a quick one as i don't have time to go through the manual. Anyone know which wire on the MB6 radio harness (the standard one in the car, not the harness adapter you buy from halfrauds etc) is the constant live feed (sometimes known as the "memory wire" on head units) I think it is possibly yellow, but cant remember. Also, which one is the live switched feed from the ignition? Ta!
  19. Dave
    Jeese! forgot all about Faz and the guys there! lol Cheers mate!

    As the title says, I'm going to get a polished alloy oil filler cap and radiator cap for Ruby. Thing is, all the ones on Ebay are in the states?? Or China etc. Surely there must be a UK seller somewhere? Just want them quick y'see, so dont want to order one from abroad.
  21. Dave
    Yeah, planning on getting a stainless steel mani for it mate. More bling plus its functional too!
  22. Dave
