Michael, can you send me some really good photos of your car for the winners page on the website mate. as many upto date ones as you have, interior/exterior/under the bonnet/ and close ups if you have them. Can you also send me a copy of the form you fill in for total honda too mate, and we'll use the specs/mods and soe of the story from that on your page You can email them to me at " civic5@hotmail.co.uk " Thanks!

Ok guys, get your entries in!

Lesley is sorting out the subscriptions as we speak. She has also sent me a PDF form for the winner/2nd/3rd place to fill out. She'll also need the high res photos guys, inc one of the engine bay. I'll let you all know where to send the forms to once completed. I've gotta do one for the club too, so better get me finger out lol

ok doky, I'll get in touch with Lesley tomorrow

Can the winner and runners up give me a pm please to let me know if they have had contact with total honda yet. Think there is a form to fill in for the mag iirc

I would have still thought it was the bearing mate. There proibably wont be much sound when the mechanic spins the wheel on the ramp, as the wheels not going fast enough. I take it the noise starts from around 30mph upwards? Is it louder at any certain speeds, quieter at others? What about when low speeds, from lock to lock?

Might be possible Paul, time/space permitting. I'll speak to Lesley once new years out of the way. She did say it might be possible for 2nd and 3rd place to be in the mag if they can manage it

Wee update.....Ruby is now in winter spec mode! Back on standard mb6 fat fives with new snow tyres standard floor mats in, vtis mats out! Later VTiS gearknob (plastic/leather) in, Alloy VTiS one out! (its too cold in the morning!!!) Just refurbed the fives, did them gunmetal. Just a quick refurb, but they turned out really well! Gonna get them done properly next spring once the speedlines are back on. Good thing about them being gunmetal is I dont have to wash them as often (the white speedlines look ace, but are a pain in the ass to keep clean!) Got to finally try out the winter tyres in the snow, huge improvement!! I can actually drive the mb6 in the snow now!!! Last year was a joke! lol Haha, well spotted Paul! It's a brand new replica one (shaddow on here got them made) I've got two original vtis badges, but they need refurbed. This one looked perfect so had to put it on lol Will try and get some pics today

Yeah, mb6 has the two buttons mate. cills as in sideskirts? I got them mate, vtis ones. Just not got round to getting them painted fitted (i really need to get my finger out!! lmao )

She's looking stunning mate! Good to see you back! One sorted vtis, love the new seats too!

Jeese man! you've rolled the deck!!

Wow! Lots of work done there, and looks super mate!! Wish I had a garage!!

pmsl And my first post should have read " Hmmm, wheres the activate forum button???" lol Instead, it reads.... Can still remember actually typing that, thinking " hope we get some members!" Although created by me, I have to say there's no way the forum would be where it is today without, firstly, Adam, and also the whole Team. I was going through the hardest time in my life (had just lost my dad to cancer) so started civic5 to occupy my mind, and Adam has been a rock through that, and also kept civic5 going. Honestly, a nicer guy you'll never meet! Good thing is, no matter what happened in the forum (and we've had our troubles along the way with one or two troublemakers! lol ) we stuck to our original plan..........being a friendly, non judgemental and respectful forum. It's more a club than a forum now, and I'm so glad that there are so many members, both past and new, that love this place so much! Makes it all worthwhile! Funny thing is, its funny seeing all the 1st posts above, because we remember them when they were posted with us activating the accounts! lol Tell ya, we have got some cracking charectors in here, sometimes I read the posts and am litteraly lmao! Gonna be watching this topic, nice wee trip down memory lane lol. Nice one James, great topic! PS: HAHAHA, and dont I know it! lmao

Can't beat the leather! Gives the car a totally different look and feel inside.

Yeah, she was sold to a lad in Dunfermline, thought it might appear on here, but never saw the car again Still miss that wee civic!

get those callipers painted man!! Haha! it's on the cards!

haha! not when theres snow on the way lmao used gunk to remove the grease/grime, then car shampoo, followed by a slight t-cut then polish

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

that looks amazing mate! what a transformation! i wanna see this at a meet soon! top work bud!
