    The wee booger was out "playing" today in the garden....... Then I heard a wee voice shouting... He's bonded really well with our Lab Bailey! Don't think Bailey wanted to go faster though! And the wee engine noises monkey was making were gettin on his nerves!
  2. Dave
    Here he is, the day he arrived at ours!

    Lovin' this build, totally different and a hella lot of hard work and problem solving gone on! My Mrs has the 1.6 auto deck aswell, if she sees this, she'll be itching at the bit to get it turbo'd! (hope youve got plenty free time, you'll need to do hers aswell lmao ) Keep us updated mate!
  9. Dave
    Top work as always mate! She's a totally transformed car from when you first got her eh!

    When you goin up to Edinburgh mate? Will poss try and arrange a meet/run for when you're up! Been needing one up here for ages!
  11. Dave
    lol yours is looking mint mate! Ruby's twin.
  12. Dave
    She's come along in leaps and bounds mate! Some really nice mods on there!
  13. Dave
    Yeah, keep thinking that aswell, but like you say, could end up buying a right nightmare on wheels. Least I know she's a good un' The skirts still havent been prepped or painted yet mate, had too much on since this time last year with hospital etc. They will be top of the to do list now the mot's out the way though. Need to get them on so she's finished........just a couple more wee things I want to get for her though

    Got her back yesterday, and she's driving perfect! The bill for all the work (inc MOT) came in at £600, but when I looked at the itemized invoice, the service alone was a job well done. Fuel filter, oil filter, pollen filter, oil, spark plugs etc all done, brake fluids changed, new trailing arm bushes fitted (these were a pig to get out!) new discs and pads etc. Seeing as she didnt cost owt for her mot, thought it was a good idea to get this all done so she's mechanically perfect again. That along with the 4 x Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres I got her means thats all shes getting for a while! lol Around £850-£900 over the last couple of months!

    Not even one mate! was amazed! I decided on getting the new brakes and getting the trailing arm bushes done as I felt the discs were warped (vibrating under heavy braking) and there's been this knocking noise in the n/s/r for ages that no garages seemed able to detect, until the boys at RJM noticed slight play in the trailing arm bush on that side (not enough for a fail or an advisory though). So hoping this cures the wee niggles once and for all. Also getting the brake fluid drained and refilled with fresh stuff Should be getting her back at some point tomorrow as didnt have enough time to pic her up today
  16. Dave
    yeah, was really surprised mate! She's in rude health!
  17. Dave
    Not done much to Ruby lately, but did get a new (used) set of front fogs for her to replace mine which are both broken Gonna get them fitted up soon, complete with protective film and a repaint. Took her to RJM for her MOT today, and she PASSED!!!!!!! Totally delighted, as I was convinced a big fail sheet was imminent"! She's been left up there for some work to be done. I decided to get new discs and pads fitted as my front discs are on the way out, so thought night aswell get it done seeing as she didnt have any mot repairs to fork out for. Also getting the rear trailing arm bushes done, as they are starting to look a bit perished, and theres a tiny bit of movement in them, so will get some recent pics up when shes all done. Hopefully get her back Monday or Tuesday

    Now that's looooooooow! Nice MB mate! Is it a vti (MB6) as it appears to have the Civic ES alloys on it which are 100 x 4 stud pattern (MB6 is 113 x 4) The leather interior is a sweet upgrade on these, looks much better. What wind deflectors have you bought as theres mixed opinions on what make fits best. The Climair seem to be the better fitment, the Team Hekko not so good. Keep up the good work and welcome!

    lol I deliberately park badly.............usually across 2 spaces so no git can park next to mine and dent her! We once parked dawns deck in a disabled space in a shopping centre multi story car park, that was the last space on the row (so next to the wall) Came back to find a 4x4 had somehow squeezed into the space between dawns car and the wall! it wasnt even a parking space! Even though they could see it was a disabled space, and the badge was displayed, their 4x4 was parked approx 1cm off of our drivers door mirror. If she'd been on her own, she'd have been fecked, so lucky I was there. Had to climb across from pass side to drivers side. Not sure how they got out of their 4x4, because it had about 4 inches between it and the wall Bastids left a mark on the deck though on drivers side. Waited half an hour to see if they came back, coz I was gonna 'ave em, but they didn't show. So yup, I'm an official 2 space taker now!
