Either that or it's her "time of the month"!!!!!!! Insert tampon here! lmao Glad you finally got her mate, well worth it eh! And at least she'd in good hands now!

Haha! 2 poster ramp I wish!!!! Would be cool though (wee cogs in brain now activated, everyone be scared!!)

True, too many cars already! Can't wait to see this Dave, my camera is gonna be going full pelt!

Bloody hell! This is going to be a cracker!!!! Well done guys, really superb to see our final cotm for 2013 going out in style!!! Well done Dave for getting the voting sorted out mate, saved me a hella job! lol Now,, who the hell do I vote for???????? lol

omg!!! What a sound!! She sounds amazing mate, like an animal!!! It's official................I love Trinity D!!! I'd love to buy another M, maybe a deck, and do something similar!

There was a Civic mb on here with the rover wheel fitted to it, but not sure what mods he did if any to get it on there. The climate control will be a different ball game though, a lot of wiring will be involved mate. ou will also need the heater from the rover too, as its controls will be electric to go with the control panel whereas ours are all manual with cables

Dave where the hell did you find a brand new tank for a civic m!!!!??????????? Get it all painted before installing it mate, to protect it. What a machine!!!!!!

There has to be an underlying issue somewhere on it mate. I know that once I got winter tyres on Ruby, and alignment done she was ok on the snow. Not brilliant, but ok. I didn't have any hills to negotiate though, well, nothing big anyway. You say the alignment was done (DC2)? I'm not sure the Integra has the same alignment as the Civic M's, might be an idea to contact a Honda dealership to confirm this.

lmao I know! It was pissing me off big time thinking "hmm, wonder what the techy is doing in there! Good job the ACP doesnt have a door knocker, I'd have been chapping at the door all night shouting oi! LET ME IN! Update all done and dusted now, and new car of the month on the forum home page! Well done James! Deffo a worthy winner!!!

That looks sweet mate! Love the metalflake on rear trim! Whats the adhesion like on the actual parts done? Will it stand up to the test of time you think? Could have a million and one uses for this stuff if it sticks to parts good! And glad to see this wee M staying with you, she's a wee cracker. Funny it always reminds me of DAVEMB2's one, even though both are styled differently. Your original reg is close to daves too!!! lol

I'll get the new photo added to the forum main page once this updates been done. Don't have access to the admin panel at the moment until it's been done

Yaaaaas! Result! She looks a beaut mate! You lucky boy!!!! now don't go selling this one!!!!! lol

Yeah have to agree mate, go for it. I wanted an ep2 ages ago, and came close to buying one. But I found the 3 door was just not practicle, and it seemed to lack power for the size of the car. I also noticed they seem to suffer rust quite badly on the front chassis legs, almost every one I looked at had bad corrosion on the n/s chassis rail, even on a 55 plate. Not sure if it's common problem, or just the ones I looked at. The MA/MB/MC Civics, although older, seem to be less rust prone, apart from the rear arches. If it's space you need, you'll love the deck! Plenty room in them, and depending on model, decent spec list too. Plus they can be modded to look amazing, as you've seen on here. Dawns deck is only a D16 non-vtec, and it still has enough power to make you smile. It won't set the tarmac alight, but it's no slouch either! Another bonus is, the Aerodecks are actually slightly better built than the Hatchbacks, as Honda were aiming at the BMW tourer market when they brought out the decks. Get one, you won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately the civic M's are pretty poor on snow, although the D series engine models do perform better in the snow that the B series engine models. I found that out a couple of years ago when we got really bad winter in Scotland, Works car park, my transit connect van.........fine...........works corsa...........fine...........Ruby........got bloody stuck! No matter what, on normal tyres, it was undriveable. The problem with the Civic M's is that they suffer from really bad understeer in standard form in the wet, so show them snow and it's a no go! But, there is light at the end of the tunnel! I changed rubys tyres to proper winter tyres, and the difference was huge. I can't remember the name of the tyres but will have a look in the garage for you. I think I also changed the profile for a higher one, but will check to make sure. Your deck should be fine on winter tyres, so it may be a problem with the manufacturer of the tyre. Another thing, get your front wheel alignement checked. This makes a huge difference, and if it is out, then no matter what tyre you get on it, it wont steer/move properly at all. So get her booked in to get the tracking done asap. I'll get back to you on the size/make I got for Ruby, see if that helps.

I'd go for the Jazz mate, excellent wee cars! Dawn was actually thinking of buying one last year to use as a daily, and keep the miles off her deck. Even had a test drive booked but sadly she never got to do it due to passing away. I've seen a few modded Jazz's in the metal, and believe me they look the nuts. There's a jordan yellow one going around here..........full mugen kit, Tinted windows, slammed, and think it was racing hearts on it or something similar. It looks immense! If you don't mind an import, they did a Fit Sport in Japan that was 1.5 supercharged! Also seen the K20's Jazz, which also ran a supercharger iirc. Built by Gerry at Performance tec, same guy that built Daves K'd MB2. It was featured in Total Honda mag, and was stunning too! But engine conversions aside, if you're looking for the economy and practicality, you won't go far wrong with a Jazz........and they deffo can look hard as nails modded! Do it!!

Came in @ £500 for the two delivered mate

lol Was exactly what I was wanting mate! so big thanks for that! Deffo recommend them!

lol cheers Nick! You'd be better waiting till the heating is installed before bringing your sleeping bag mate! lol. Yeah, had to get them colour coded, be rude not to. Should see what they can do with the covers though! Can actually have your car printed onto them, so it's like there isnt a cover on it, just your car. Cost nega bucks for that though!

Really tidy S3 mate, like that a lot. Always fancied an RS4, something about them I really like. Love the colour yours is in, very mint looking Audi mate!

A wee update! Got the floor all painted, and everything car related moved from the shed to the garage! Also took some pictures of how Ruby and Dawns deck are now all tucked up in their new beds! The car covers are awsome! Totally tailor made for both cars! They even come with their own little bags to store them in when not being used... And decided to get some sounds for the garage too, nice DAB radio with ipod dock and remote control! Got to give a plug to Specialized car covers.............amazing quality (double lined) and fit both cars perfectly. They even asked if Dawns deck had the mid spoiler fitted and if Ruby had the boot spoiler so that they could actually have panels sewn it to fit round them. Total amazing!! Check them out at :http://www.specialisedcovers.com/

Woo-hoo! This is sounding good! Keep us updated mate!!

As much as I love M's, Have to agree the seller is dreaming trying to sell it at that price. Even if it has been done to a very big spec, there's only so much these cars are worth. I'd say on a good day he might get 2 grand - 2 and a half grand tops.

Only just spotted this project! That's a stunning mb6 mate, really clean! Like where you're going with it too, good resto and some choice mods. Shadz mb6 was a total stunner mate, iirc he had to use adjustable camber arms and rolled arches to get them wheels on. I totally love that wheel, would get them for mine but not really into camber or rolling the arches........although might happen one day! Keep up ghe good work mate, loving this project thread!
