    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
  10. Dave
    Yeah, planning on getting a stainless steel mani for it mate. More bling plus its functional too!
  11. Dave
    lol must be my alias! lol
  12. Dave
    That looks amazing! Like the fact my name is on the back window too, when can they deliver it to me?? lol
  13. Dave
    She looks amazing on those rims mate, perfect drop too. This is gonna be one hell of a project!! looking forward to it!
  14. Dave
    its the bare metal polished mate. got a metal polishing kit for my grinder. took a while to get it like that tho! lol
  15. Dave
    This is looking superb mate, very nice choice of mods you've done to her! Should get some vinyls made up advertising the company, would look awsome!
  16. Dave
    Also decided today to put Ruby into daily use through the summer (and use the deck too) and put Lexy in the garage. That way it will keep them all in good mechanical order (and allow some posing! lol)
  17. Dave
    hehe, the next one is gonna look the same, but with a big difference to the lettering! Forgot to say the spark plug cover is getting sprayed same colour as the car, that's how it looks a bit pants! The cover has been sanded ready for painting Next up will be new sparkplug leads in red, new samco hoses (not sure if they will be red, might clash) then all brackets in the bay prepped and painted or polished. Getting fender washers in anodised red too along with a battery clamp. The slam panel will be getting sprayed too to freshen it up a bit too.
  18. Dave
    I'll go accept that right now for you mate
  19. Dave
    lol update time! Krzys you is right mate, had to replace both rear calippers, and one of the ones i bought (both reconditioned calippers) was the wrong one, so took time to go get it exchanged etc. Glad to report though, brakes all replaced now, fluid replaced with dot 5.1 racing fluid, and she's match fit again! Now for the blingy bit! I bought another cam cover from a member on here, and decided to fit it so I could get Rubys original one stripped and prepped for customizing. The one I bought had been done red, so looked decent, although the red was starting to flake off with it lying about the garage. Anyways, hit a big problem when getting the rocker cover off! All the nuts came off easy appart from the one in the corner next to the oil filler cap. This just kept spinning! A call to Rich @civicturbo79 and it was decided that the stud must be fooked! So went to Honda and ordered up a new stud, along with new washers and nice new shiney chrome rocker cover nuts. Got the stud out and cover off with help from @Jim (big thanks mate!) so time to fit her newly finished cover! I spent ages metal polishing it, but decided rather than have the whole cover metal polished like most do, I wanted to have some of her body colour on the cover too. So after much work, here's how she looks now under the bonnet! Also forgot about the vtec solenoid cover and rad bracket I bought a while back, so first pics of them are there to see! The offending stud now replaced with new one Lots of new wee bits from Honda! Cover done Rubys bay! The cover isnt 100% perfect, as the masking tape pulled some paint off! But now I know where I went wrong, I'm doing the same with the spare cover only this time it'll be spot on and with a twist! Hope you like. Deck to do next!

    Apparently the shipping costs to Germany aren't too bad nowadays mate. Best place to check is in our classifieds section, we have an MB breaker in there who always has a good stock of parts. Also check our Facebook page, two or more breakers in there mate, usually with a lot of aerodeck parts for sale too.
  21. Dave
    lol I'll amend the forum description. I actually haven't seen one either, though knew Honda did make them! Will deffo be watching this one with interest! Great project mate! @DAVEMB2 Was the TD we had in the forum not a 5 door hatch mate? Can't seem to remember a TD Aerodeck before?
  22. Dave
    They were a doddle to fit mate, and seem to fit a lot more snuggly than the Heko ones. deffo liking the look! lmao I am a FB hater, but thought I'd do it on there first and get my blurb in about them joining the forum lol patience TomTom lmao Been busy today so will see if I get a chance before work tomorrow night. Ta mate, she's a cracker, and want to get a lot more mods done, especially in the engine bay. Dawn always wanted her blinged, so bling it is! And I love a tidy engine bay, makes it so much nicer to work on without getting covered in oil and dirt. Gonna spend a lot more time on the deck now

    Lacquer

    Dave replied to simpo's topic in Chat Lounge

    Remember to "bake" the item you've sarayed for the specified time on the info sheet/side of can and at the specified temp, as this is what makes the lacquer "go off" and hardens it to provide a tough finish. If you're using spray equipment to do it, remember you need 1.The primer 2. The colour/base 3. The lacquer and also the hardener that gets mixed with it too. 4. Good quality 2pk thinners to mix all the paint with. 5. The right temp to spray in, and draught free. All will effect the final outcome of the spray job.

    Been a while since I updated this, mainly due to DD hibernating in the garage over winter. She's been to a meet this year though, her first outing being the scottish meet/run. So, had her up to RJM Performance yesterday for her MOT. Wasnt sure really how it would go, as it sometimes does more harm than good being kept of the road. But as always, and keeping up her record of never failing an MOT, she passed with flying colours! Roy was even commenting how tidy she was looking, so was a nice feeling to know shes in top condition. And how many miles has she covered in 1 year?? 700 miles! lol Have added another mod to her, will get the pics up when I get the chance. Got her a set of Clim-Air wind deflectors. Was a hassle tho, as the first set arrived smashed to a thousand bits! Second set were perfect though, and looks good with her already having the sunroof wind deflector too. Also got a bit of bling for the engine bay too, so will get that fitted and get pics up!

    I'm not a 100% sure but think there is a difference in the shafts mate. Try calling honda to check if there a different part numbers for manual/auto shafts to be sure I had the 1.4 auto and found it was quite good with the autobox, 1st gear was a hoot!
