  1. I might be wrong, but will stiffening the backs compared to the fronts not induce more oversteer (someone correct me if i'm wrong please!!! lol )? check your tyre pressures on the back first mate, could just be that.
  2. Mate, my standard box is 3k rpm at 60mph? Problem is, almost all other cars are 70mph at 3k rpm, so makes the mb6/mc2's a bit high reving for motorways. On saying that, Dawns deck (1.6) is exactly the same......3k at 60mph
  3. Tom, just get the door cards from any 1.6ES mate (well, the ES's with black interiors!) They all come exactly like your front ones, and no bit for window winders (whats one of them things anyway!?). Ive got all black door cards in ruby to go with the full leather Absolutely loving the new seats mate, and looks like they were always meant to be there! Looks stunning!
  4. It is to Dawn mate, as she said she'll never sell it. She loves the car to bits, has had it around 7 or 8 years now and still loves it as much as the day she bought it! To be honest, if she sold it, there isnt really anything she could get for the money that she would like as much, so might aswell spend the money on it instead. The deck is so mint even underneath it's well worth holding onto, so makes sense to do everything she ever wanted to do to it. Feels so nice inside it now, nice place to be on long journeys
  5. We get loads of apologies from folk who haven't read the rules regarding selling, usually by email because it's normally an instant ban. You haven't been banned, but are on you're first and only warning. Any further instances of breaking the club rules will earn you an instant (permanent) ban. I would advise you g familiarize yourself with the rules before using the forum any further. Dave

    Help??

    easy peasy mate. 1.4 on a 98 will more than likely be an mb2. Read the full chassis number mate and you'll see "mb2" or whatever one it is within the number
  7. lmao! try it and see! I've been thinking the same thing (no, not dumping Dawn for a week lol), same but in red. Would look pretty amazing me thinks!
  8. Thanks mate, yeah she got the designers at transcal in on the act to get their opinions, and they reckoned the ink blue was best. Just did a 450 mile trip in the deck yesterday and was comfy as anything! Did say to Dawn that I did find the interior a bit distracting whilst driving though...........Couldnt stop looking nat the seats.......the door cards...lmao lmao! thats class! Thanks for the comments chaps! I'm so bloody jealous of Dawns interior! lol I want too!!!!!
  9. Interesting stuff about your middle section mate. Mine (Powerflow cat back) is sounding louder than usual after a blast (only gets loud when exhaust is really hot) Most of the sound seems to be from the middle box, so could be same problem. Rear box is also louder now than it used to be, although does sound the nuts in Vtec! Time to get Ruby in for a nice new powerflow methinks! I'm also wanting it as quiet as oem (I've got an excuse now tho, I AM AN OLD GIT! lmao ) Does that manifold flange line up with the original cat? Quite fancy getting one. Nice find on the early VTiS alloy gearknob too! Looks sweet!
  10. Looks good mate, and top marks for the effort you've put in to bring it back from what the careless previous owner had put it through. Prefer that style to the later facelifted models, although the later V6 with the vents in the wings and the kit looks immense! Just the rear of the late ones I didnt like. One that I looked at buying years ago was a mark 1 in trophy blue, with the two/tone blue leather interior. Love the colour! What is the gearbox/lsd from?
  11. Love this civic, that pre-facelift front end hides the beast within! lol Really sweet liking mb6 mate!
  12. 2 names tornado 06 and tornado Sorted, got pm from user asking to delete previous account Cheers Andrew
  13. 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!
  14. Here he is, the day he arrived at ours!
  15. Follow his adventures here! He gets around just like his bro! Pics to follow soon!
  16. Ok, here's updated pics of how the deck stands right now. Oh, and after getting me butt kicked by Dawn, I've finally added her deck to the deck thread!! Ok, some pics! And the OEM Headlight covers... More updates next week!!
