Did you ever buy it back mate? See the guy never posted any more videos after 2019 so not sure what's happened there.

So sad to see you breaking the deck mate, been with you and in this club for a very long time and always loved this one. Out of interest, what did you get as your modern daily? The VTiS kit does go for decent money now. Think that's a fair price for the lips and spoiler without the skirts. If you don't get them sold or decide to sell them separate, I'd be interested in the rear lip. I did have the full kit for DD, got the front lip sprayed and fitted, got the side skirts ready to go, but some sod stole the rear lip from the side of my shed at our old house! Bloody gutted! So been on the lookout for a replacement one. Be nice to see how she fares on the track though, so at least not a total end for her. Will enjoy her new life as a track car I think!

That has to be a record for the shortest distance a brand new bearing has lasted!!

@TheRedAerodeck Edited the post to align the text/photos for you mate. She is looking totally amazing now, loving the new look with the suspension and wheels etc, all came together nicely. Great photo skills too!

Welcome to the club mate! Yes the white mb6 was quite rare when new, but deffo very rare now. Looking forward to seeing it!

Sorry mate, only just saw this! I had to remove DD's as I was trying to fit a dab one (which failed so back to oem!)_ Yes, remove the silly little cap and the nut is revealed.

Will need to have a look at that! Thanks for the heads up mate!

@dr_broon @MC2woNo, only the vti/VTiS aerodeck/5 door hatch got the rear arb. None on DD sadly. On the plus point, 2 less drop links to go wonky and need replaced lol

One of the new features is that you can now change how you view the forum. It's your forum, have it your way. In the screengrab below, the green arrow points to the buttons to change the view. You can have it as list (which is a traditional forum layout), grid (what our default view was before where it is laid out like a grid) or fluid. This has the forum topics in a list, with a menu to the side showing the forum categories and sub forums. Choose which view you like the best!

Hi guys. Just a quick post to let you all know we have updated/upgraded the forum to to very latest version of IPB forum software. Unfortunately our current forum themes were not compatible with the new version, so we have put in place a basic one based on our Civic forum colours (red, grey and black). We'll be adding to it/changing things in time to be more like the previous themes look so bear with us. The upgrade had a lot of security patches and upgrades so again, keeping the forum nice and safe for all our members. The upgrade seems to have gone through problem free so fingers crossed. If however you do find any faults/things not working please let myself or one of the team know, or reply to this post. Stay safe, Dave and the Team

Looking top dollar mate!

@Pipo Pretty common issue on these mate. You can adjust the window from inside the door once you take the trim panel off. Been a while since I did it so can't remember off the top of my head what it is you need to do (you should be able to see all the bolts for the window channel and also the two that hold the glass to the mechanism). Pretty sure I loosened off the bolt on the glass and lowered the rear of the glass down so it didn't jump out of the runner when near the top (assuming yours is jumping out of the runner towards the rear of the front door?)

Reminds me of DAVEMB2's mb3 that he still runs as his daily even now..

In that case then yes, braided lines and also maybe switching to DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Would have to totally drain the brake system of all old fluid, flush through then fill with the dot 5.1. The higher boiling point helps a lot with brake fade etc. How you finding MTec discs over standard discs?

@SaTaNeAtChEeSe Yes, Jake's right, 98 spec is basically the same as our vti spec, the 96 spec ITR would be a downgrade imo. Are you using the car on the track a lot or just the road? Cheapest bang for buck upgrade would be to try performance brake pads from the likes of EBC (or any other performance brand) in your current set up. I would replace the discs for oem ones with new performance pads......you might be surprised at the difference.

Soz, only just noticed this post mate! I would deffo go with the OEM Honda ones every time. Yes, any part with Honda on it costs a lot more, but the stuff is genuinely much better quality than aftermarket parts. Do it right (use oem) do it once. Do it with aftermarket parts, start flipping that coin! lol

@Patrix Is your car lowered by just lowering springs or adjustable coilovers? If its the adjustable one, I'd recommend turning the button on the shock/damper to a stiffer setting. This should eliminate the issue you have when cornering.

Hi Mate, think I can se the problem! When new, fitted with 15's, these civics had 195/55 x 15 tyres on them on standard suspension. You have gone up a profile size (so essentially making the wheel/tyre bigger than it normally is, then lowered it which alters the geometery of the suspension, hence why you're getting tyre rub. See this guide here >>> FAQ About Honda Civic M's - FAQ - Civic5 Honda Civic MA/MB/MC owners club To explain things further, and to help make sure you choose the right wheel oiffset/tyre combo, see this link here >>> Wheel Offset and tyre calculator - Brakes and alloys - Civic5 Honda Civic MA/MB/MC owners club There's a couple of links in there that help explain things better

That is stunning! Looks like it just rolled out of the factory, superb job you've done there mate. Regarding the hood for the civic......I think you'll struggle to find one. I Had the pre-facelift civic M (see my thread "wee Blue Betty) over 13 years ago, and tried to source a second hand hood for her as the original was rusted. Took me over 3 years back then to find one! On saying that, you do have better weather in your country/no salt on the roads so might be there are a lot more have survived the rust than over here. Even seeing a pre facelift in this country now is rare! Been over 2 years since I saw one here!

Have to say that little Starlet is a stunner too and mega rare now.
