    CV boot replaced, and another oil change! Turns out that when it was in at honda last week for its service, they put the wrong oil in it! Only notice when i looked at the invoice!! Thanks to Adam for the info! Pointed this out to them, so they had to change it! Startd getting her ready for the meet today. Knew the side where the boot was split had loads of grease and crap around it.............inner wheel arch, suspension, steering and all over the inside of the alloy! After mucho cleaning with gunk..... Then took all the wheels off to clean!.....the result.. got her washed, dried and a quick polish (didnt get time to clay ) interior vaccumed and cleaned, all glass cleaned. Et viola! gonna try and get the induction kit refitted tomorrow (ran outta light!) then we're off!

    Just a small update. Thought that as the meet was coming p in Blackpool, I'd get her a good service done at my local Honda dealership. Also had noticed some kind of fluid/grease appearing on o/s/f wheel, which was worrying, so got them to check that out too. Turns out the cv boot has a small split in it, so after the service I booked her straight back into honda to get a new one fitted As the service obviously included a new airfilter, I removed the induction kit before she went in (if I'm paying for a filter, I want the blooming thing! lmao ) so will need to get the kit re-fitted for the meet. Boot gets done on Wednesday, Dawns deck goes into same honda dealer on thursday for the aircon to get redone So, she'll be match fit for the trip down on Saturday woop woop! Was hoping to get the sideskirts painted and fitted fpr the meet, but not gonna have enough time

    I currently use ..(around 3 times a year) Turtlewax Ice car shampoo Chamois dry car, then.. Meguires clay bar kit Autoglymn polish (2 coats) Turtlewax Ice polish (1 coat) Turtlewax liquid wax (1 or 2 coats, depends how knackered I am!) Then for monthly car cleaning I use.. Turtlewax car shampoo Chamois dry car, then either... Turtlewax Ice polish, Meguires Quick detailer polish or Autoglymn polish. (1 coat) Turtlewax liquid wax. (1 coat) For weekly car cleaning I use.. Turtlewax car shampoo Chamois dry car, then either... Turtlewax Ice polish or Meguires Quick detailer polish For the tyres, I always use Tesco Tyre & Bumper restorer. Honestly, for £1 odds a can, it can't be beat. Gives a better longer lasting finish than Back to Black which is £5.99 a can! For the interior, I use.. Meguires Gold Class leather cleaner. Mr Muscle Glass cleaner. And a bloody good vaccum cleaner! lol Bearing in mind I've got Two civic M's to do!!! PS: Good topic, changed to "sticky"

    Love this mb6, and as above, that blue looks totally amaing on it
  14. Dave
    lmao! James was the only one to notice the pun!!! Yeah, the filter sounds amazing! Really turns heads when on full chat! I do love oem though, so the filter is gonna be my only devitation from honda stuff. Oh, that and the powerflow stainless exhaust thats on it, but thats built to oem spec so dont count lmao! Cupra boy going the other way was funny as hell!

    Cheers mate! yeah, they fit straight in! Always thought that there were differences in the seat backs for the rears, but none at all. I did have a problem fitting a rear seat in my MA8 civic, so not sure if it was to do with it being a prefacelift, or because I was replacing a non-centre armrest rear seat for one with an armrest. Well chuffed with the seats, interior is a really nice place to be now!

    So, Since getting Ruby back from the bodyshop and getting her drop links and brakes all renewed, it was onto her next round of upgrades! She now sings a different tune thanks to the filter kit I bought from Adam (jalesi2001) (big thanks for this mate!!) The sound is amazing, and she sounds like a complete animal in vtec!! Also makes her look a bit more bling bling nder the bonnet! Next up, we turned to the interior. Think I may have mentioned that I had bought the VTiS gear knob (later style) from Adam a while back.................well, as much as I liked that one, He tempted me with the Alloy VTiS early style one!! This is also the right one for the year of vti she is, so seems more fitting she has that one! lol A mod that we've been toying with for a while is giving her the full leather interior! Dawn liked the idea of changing the half leather for full leather, so when the chance came up for the complete leather interior in mint condition, including door panels, and a good price, it was too good to say no! Big thanks to Robert (kyekye09) and his missus Louise for this! Spent yesterday in the hot sun with Dawn washing the lot down with soap and water, then conditioning it with meguires gold class leather conditioner! Came up a treat! Still got the door panels to fit tho! (ignore the wee dots on the pics..........its not the interior, it's the rain!! Forgot to post pics of the Alpine head unit I fitted, so here it is! Finally, a wee lighting upgrade. Bought a set of the Osram Nightbreaker bulbs from Robert too, and the difference is like night and day! Really pure white light from them, and really bright. Never have to use main beam now, as the dipped headlights are amazingly bright! Really impressed with these! Next up......................claying and polishing Dawns deck! It also has a new addition, so will get some pics done of that soon!

    Sweet deck! Loving the mods/resto project, and as above, fair play to you for doing all this yourself mate! This is the kinda thing id love to do to my mb6 when the time comes for the bushes to be replaced. That'll be so tight when its finished, will feel like a new deck to drive!!!! Nice one!!
  18. Dave
    That razo looks sweet on there mate. A decent gearknob makes all the difference to the feel of the gearchanges eh! I'm on the early vti-s one now, though still feel the later vtis one feels evenbetter..................but love the look of the early one
  19. Dave
    Haha, as said in the team room, that rocks mate!!! Looks amazin! And big thanks for adcertising the club too!
  20. Dave
    Exactly! Almost accessory on Dawns (except the wheels) is from Honda. Cant beat the quality! Mines the same, all honda stuff
  21. Dave
    Sweet! and a change from the usual mugen etc ones, like it mate! It's all in the detailing
  22. Dave
    Remember chaps, when spraying anything, the temp has a lot to do with the final colour too. If sprayed when its hot, the colour will turn out slightly lighter, spray it when its cold, it turns out slightly darker. As it will probs need to be mixed up for you, ask the supplier for the fact sheet on the paint. This will tell you the ideal temp for spraying with that paint
  23. Dave
    Tidy job mate! Looks sweet!
  24. Dave
    What an amazing car!! That looks totally stunning mate, a lot of work gone into that! Very nice mods (looking forward to seeing the climate control wired up and how it's done!) and that colour is sweet! Like how you have street/time attack bumpers! Didnt know mgzs had climate control like that, never seen one with it fitted!

    Cheers Dave. Theres been some ultralow MB's here Dan, but mine is still riding at standard height, not been lowered at all. I just need her to stay practical, so going mega low's a no-no for me I'm afraid. On saying that, she will be getting lowered at some point, but only around 25mm
