So, been busy today! Decided to do some work on Ruby this morning seeing as the sun was out. Had bought a replacement set of front fogs from fleabay, so thought it was time I got the old ones out and the new ones in!! This is the first rime I've actually changed fog lights on an MB, and thought it would just be the same as when I fitted them to my MA8 civic. So removed the front bumper not realizing you can replace them with the bumper in place! Bugger! Never mind, was a good chance to examine the front end on her for any possible signs of rust. So was well pleased to find she's absolutely mint behind the bumper! Front panel, chassis legs etc are all like new! Not a spot of rust anywhere! Couldnt believe just how good the paintwork still is on the front panel! Look at the reflection!!! So removed the old fogs, which I had made repair lenses for from the plastic lense inside an old set of headlights. The lense looked like it had melted, but found it was only the yellow film that I put on them that had melted!! Didnt realize the bad shape my old fogs were in though, totally shot! So with them in the bin, I got the new ones fitted and tested. What a difference to see her with new foggies! Looks so much better! It's worked out great, because I'd already bought a set of mb6 fogs for her before I sold her, so they didnt get fitted. Means that both Ruby and DeeDee have both got mint fog lights, and I have a spare set on stand by incase they get damaged. Job done!

Sweet looking deck mate. Love them in white, shows of the shape nicely. Yeah it can be a bugger doing jobs on them when your M's a daily driver. I used to dread doing any big jobs, cause 9 times out of 10 a bolt or something would snap/get rounded and stuck, and it would mean rushing about trying to get a replacement! I'm lucky now that my two M's are both weekend toys that are getting turned into show cars.

Cheers Tom!

Update 22/6/13: Been working hard (and learning loads of stuff!) and have now began designing the new Civic5 forum skin. As it's near completion, I've added it to the drop down theme selector, and removed previous temporary skins. The new one is called "Civic5_theme" . It's not perfect, as I'm still learning how to edit the IP Board files and style sheets, but have learned a fair bit already, so will be looking to improve on it even more as time goes on. The logo is just a temp banner for now, need to get Dawns deck back up there! I think the new one looks a bit slicker, and with some tweaks will be fine. Hope you all like!

Thanks mate, and yes it is! lol Drop me a pm bud

lol yeah, a complete twat. I too was amazed how much has been fooked about with in the short time he had her. And talk about lies! He even posted on FB that he had a new windscreen fitted to her.................lie! It's still the same screen, even has the wee scratch where I tried to wash off bird poo and it marked the screen! Why lie about it?? And he said he bought and fitted MGZS suspension???? Must have waved fairy dust on the bolts as none have been touched by the look of it, and suspension still looks like factory MB6 to me. Even sits at the same height as before, whereas MGZS would have dropped her a bit. Will have her ready for Crazzzydawns Memorial meet though, she'll be as good as new again! Oh and yeah, brems banned!

Saw this on FB! Well done mate!!
-
I'd have to differ here and advise that the closest match size wise is 195/50/16. Dawns deck is running the 195/45/16's just now, and I'll be changing the tyres to 50's when the time comes. Just personal preference really mate. The wheels will look top banana on it!!!
-
I toyed with the idea of an MB3 on a lot of occassions. Great wee M's! And amazing fuel economy!

you pay for the initial software (which isnt a lot) but will need to find out how it will work with this forum, with the forum recognizing mobiles and putting them straight onto the mobile theme. might be more involved installing it here than in the old forum
-
Is the mobile theme not ok mate?
-
lol cheers chaps! Just a quick thing I threw together. Got a much better one planned!

Ok, so whats been happening to Ruby lately? Not a lot as it happens, but removed more crap fitted by guy I sold her to! He had removed the two blanks where the air con & recirculation buttons were and fitted (using the term fitted rather loosely here) a pull out cup holder from a VW. The problem with it was you couldnt use it to hold anything whilst driving! Too near the gearshift, and had to be closed to change gear! Plus it had been really crudely fitted (had been told it was held in by two self tapping screws, turns out it was just glued in! The lies this guy spins he should be on jackanory!) It had been really badly carbon wrapped )all folded at the edges and joined in the middle!) so it had to go. After much buggering about, got it out. Went to fit two switches (these are oem heated seat switches for when ruby gets her retrim same as Dawns deck, going to be getting heated elements in the seats!) and it turns out he's not only cut out the middle bit of plastic which seperates the switches, but he's also filed most of the plastic down to fit the stupid VW part! So now switches have no where to clip into. Meaning I now have to remo0ve the whole centre console where the heater etc is, and replace that plastid part with another one. Totally pissed off that Ruby has been hacked about like this, bloody waste of a great car. I'll get her fixed though! Just gonna be more time consuming doing jobs that I really shouldn't have to be doing.

lol Just the 2 M's mate. Poor Lexy will have to sit in the driveway at the garage door.

Can someone shed some light on the location/event Nick took these photos please
-
-
Wholly shit!! I need to tweak a few buttons!!
-
It's a pain in the ass trying to keep the 3 of them clean. Got trees in the garden, and they're constantly dropping tree sap on them. Hence the need for the garage!! Wish the planning was through! Once that's built, will be a doddle to look after 3 lush Hondas!
