Just watched the Mk1 xr2 episode............................such good memories! And went looking for one straight after it finished! Luckily didnt find one, as I already have enough cars!!!

Just noticed they do them in gold with the polished lip too! Bonus!!!! What a great site, easy to find what you want!

Thanks for that Nick! Think I like the Japan racing ones the best, although both are very similar. But the JR's have the polished lip so they're winning for me! I'd probs get the centres sprayed either white, gun metal, gold or colour coded to the car. I'd imagine that the supplier will have the spigots in stock if needed. Getting all excited now!

Likey both of those!! mmmmmmmmmm.....................which to go for?????? Or any others that would fit. I take it both those rims would go straight onto ruby. She is slightly lowered on MiesterR's though, but not by a lot.

Anyone know what the absolute minimum ET I can run without any arch/camber mods? Found some wheels in 15', 16' and 17' that have the following sizes.... 16 x 7 4 x 114.3 e+40 to +42 15 x 7 4 x 114.3 e+35 to +38 16 x 7 4 x 114.3 e40 Any of the above sizes any good?? All from Rota

Yeah, its a hard style to find. Problem with the xxr's is you have to run serious camber to get them on there. The perfect wheel otherwise. Love the look of them, just don't like tyre stretching/mega camber. Must be something out there for the mb6!

Had that game too, was amazing! I think the car you started outr on was a proton gti or something? Really detailed game at the time, loved it! The new engines in F1 are a huge disappointment for me. Watched the race and did actually fall asleep before the end! Seriously, I did! Eve when the incar cameras are on, there isnt the same sensation as you got with the old engines high pitched screaming. That actually gave you a real feel for how fast they were going. These now ones are so quiet, don't rev worth a fook, and sound so low toned that it reminds me of when they were following the saftey car with the old engines just cruising! TBH, the new ones sound like a bloody diesel compared to the old ones. And when the track cameras are following a car round, even when the car directly passes the camera, you can hardly hear it! Like watching F1 with the mute button on! Deffo has taken away from the excitement, and as good as it was to see the smaller teams up there battling with the big guns, it was very, very boring to watch! Got a feeling this could be the death nail for F1. i was looking forward to it so much to, but just a huge disappointment

Ok, I'm looking to change Rubys alloys for 16' rims with a polished lip. Only problem is finding a set that will fit! I don't want the hassle of rolling arches/running camber etc, just want a set that will go straight on her. They style I wanted was the same as the wheels on Dawns deck, the 16' Cades eros. But they don't do them in 4x114 fitment Struggling to find anywhere that does a similar rim that will fit. Any ideas chaps?

lmao!!!!

Love this deck, congrats mate, a very worthy winner!

Has indeed! Still need to do the brakes on Ruby though, as I unfortunately remembered at the first corner!

Thanks Ray! Long time no see mate, nice to see you back in the forum bud. Had both ruby and dawns deck out for their first spin this year (well, rubys second spin, dawns decks been in the garage since the memorial meet back in august last year!) both felt amazing to drive again. Deffo a couple of show queens now lol

LOL that would be a nice wee run down to yours in Lexy mate! She does love a long run, so might actually just do that!

lol Ranerio (tolasodolsa) is my good friend from Italy guys, met him through Forza4. Top guy, and one hell of a good racer! I've not had much chance to use the "nice to beat you, sir" greeting for a long time though as Paul and I just cant keep up with him now! lol Need to get more practice in! I've had a look at the Rage alloys mate, but as they're 19" the ride is hard as hell, way too stiff for day to day duties. Nice wheels though, and the FN looks amazing on them. Got another wee mod fitted today, the TypeR rear lights (centre section on tailgate). Looks much nicer with the black section instead of the blinged up red reflective bit, plus the red "H" badge came with it too, so all looking good. Will get a pic up soon

lmao they saw me coming bud! Still, kept its original wee plastic case and mounting stand that it came with so can probs sell it in future for more (to some other mug I see coming!! lmao)

And clutch may also be on way out if its been towing heavy loads a lot. Have a look at our buyers guide mate, that gives you everything you need to know. If you hover over the "Home" button, a drop down menu will appear. Just click on our buyers guide there

Next on cards is new wheels.........got a full set of FN2 TypeR alloys (18") which have been refurbished and never fitted waiting in the wings, or possibly an after market option! Watch this space! Oh, and got the TypeR rear light unit getting delivered on Friday. this is black, as opposed to the current red one thats fitted

It's a genuine Honda one mate, had to get it sent from Japan! £75 for that silly wee car lol, must need my head looking at! Can't get the genuine Honda ones now though.

And another wee addition to her...... TypeS quarter panel decals. Again, got these from Gerry on civicinfo. Mega bargain and top quality!

Know what you mean mate! I came close around 2 weeks ago to trading her in for a typeR in white. Just love the look of them! But it was going to cost me at least 3 grand to trade her in for a car that had more miles than her, was older, cost more to insure/tax/run and wasnt as well equipped! So decided against it, and glad i did tbh. Been in a few FN2's and the ride quality is bollocks, couldnt live with it on a daily basis. Far too stiff and uncomfortable for our roads! Lexy has all the TypeR looks, same body kit etc, without the running costs. Still got enough oomph to annoy a lot of other cars too

Been a long time since I updated this, but have done a few wee tasteful mods since her last update! Gone are the red mudflaps, just really went off them. Soooooo, what's she been getting done? 1st up is Nice set of wind deflectors. Not the usual "in window channel" type, but outside the channel fitment. Really impressed with these, no naff clips to bugger about with, and the fit is really spot on! Next up, I wanted to sort a small detail that Honda really should have done when these were new. The rear "TypeS" badge is the same as the typeR one, only the whole "Type" bit is chrome, instead of black with chrome edging. This pee'd me off, as it looks like the badge was never properly finished. Know it's a pretty minor thing, but thought nope, I'm sorting that! So, could have painted it, but decided on a factory finish, so ordered up a New "TypeR" badge from Honda. Got this delivered then carefully cut the "R" off the badge, and replaced it with my "S" . Fitted to the tailgate, I think it looks much better! All in the small details! I also replaced the standard front grill badge with the red TypeR "H". Not trying to pretend it's a TypeR, just like the fact it colour codes the badge to my car! lol Next up was a fairly big mod. Decided too upgrade the OEM head unit to a double din head unit with touch screen display. I went for the Pioneer AVH-3500DAB, a feature packed unit. Always loved Pioneer stuff, and as it was originally a make Honda used for their standard stereos, kinda felt like staying true to the brand. I thought the Head unit came with built in sat nav, but found out to my cost that it doesnt. It has the facility to control the satnav, but the actual sat nav is a separate unit, and another £375! But seeing as i wanted a built in sat nav, i went and bought that too! Converting the dash to double din was done with a kit from Honda bits (bought with a discount through civicinfo.com, a site I've been a member of for a few years) and this kit included special leads to enable the top display where the radio info is usually displayed, along with the climate control, to be still used. It also includes another adapter and harness which means I can still use all the controls on the steering wheel. Great bit of kit! Fitting the head unit is a major task, which meant most of the dash and all the centre console had to be removed from the car. I'll post pics of her in bits during fitment later! Once all fitted though, she now looks like this! Can't fault this head unit! The sound, even through oem speakers, is amazing! It also has DAB radio, parrot blue tooth built in, which sounds crystal clear, Mixtrax feature, which is really cool, and obviously the sat nav. Neat wee touch on the sat nav is I can change the usual wee arrow to a 3D car on the map. And well, with the wee car being bright red, it looks like lexy on the map!!! lol Well chuffed with this head unit set up, recommend it to anyone! Another wee small detail I got from Gerry on civicinfo was the "TypeS" logo made for the centre console. This looks really sweet, and just makes the dash that lil bit more special.

Stunning EU mate, looks mint! Thats the exact same head unit ive just fitted to Lexy (FN1) and its an amazing bit of kit! The blue tooth is actually parrot blue tooth, so really good quality. I initially thought the sat nave side of things was built into it, but its an add on (£379) so I got that too. You'll love the sound from it mate, sounds amazing! Thats gonna look sweet on rotas!

I got done 2 years ago, 88mph in a 70mph limit. And yes, they were hiding up a slip road, but luckily they didnt have the camera! Just went by their onboard video and the speed when they tailed me. I got £60 and 3 points, but like you say, no point in arguing because I knew I was in the wrong by speeding. Sill feel it's unfair the way they go about catching speeders though, hiding up slip roads etc is a bit of entrapment in my book. Regarding the safety awareness course, was watching traffic cops on tv the other night, and they caught a bunch of bikers speeding at over 140mph! I thought they would be banned instantly, but they all got off with it if they agreed to go on the course! I thought anything over a ton was instant ban??? And wonder why they were allowed the course when they were so far over the limit? They were also driving dangerously, as they were in a 60mph limit, and overtaking on double solid lines etc. I think its because there was so many of them (6 I think) that it would have been hard to prove who was doing what so would have meant too much paperwork with a chance of them getting away with it. Sucks how the police up here just instantly do you though, they seem to be more inclined to use their powers of discretion down south. Or maybe thats just for the benefit of the tv cameras eh! They may have done you because you were in the van mate, I think the speed limit for vans is different to cars, so in a 70 limit the van is 60mph max?

That looks sweet as mate! Love the buddy clubs, suits them so well. Some really nice mods on there, and nice wee details. Another nicely modded M!

Sweet MB1 mate!
