Yo Jamie, did yopr bro get his account registered yet? Had a look and activated a few more today, so not sure if his has been one of them? Both the Ms looking top dollar, nice and clean! (Ruby is a diarty biatch at the moment! lmao)

Thats a stunning finish on the rocker mate, and the PB is spot on!

2 cool entries so far. any more folks?

The detail on this car is amazing mate! keep up the good work!

Hi mate. 13volts when everything is off sounds about right, and you're correct that the cranking does take a lot of power when starting up. it sounds as though the battery is fine (though its always hard to say for sure!). As the car fired up after you had disconnected the earth/reconnected it, I would have a good check to make sure the whole earth cable is intact. Give both the terminals on the battery a good clean up with a wire brush, and also the connections on the ends of the live/earth cables. Make sure they are both connected up good and tight, and cover them with a light layer petrolium jelly or something similar. It does sound like a bad connection, so best (and cheapest!) to start there first. If you can, get the test meter and test the car when starting to see what readings you get (after you've done the above ). Also, see what readings you get on tick over, and with a slight rev (to around 2500rpm). It's good practice to make sure everything (electrical) is turned off when starting the car, as it saves putting extra strain on the battery. I always turn off heaters/radio/lights etc before I turn off the engine, that way everythings already off when it comes time to start the car. Are there any other symptoms? Hope this helps!

lol, that pics been doing the rounds for a few years eh! Incentive indeed! lol

haha! Not that youve been counting the days or owt! lol Love this thread!

Ok folks, get the entries in!

Hi mate. you'll also need the wiring harness from the pumps to the bay, and from the switch to the fuse box. There is also a relay as far as i can remember. If you check the inernal fusebox, there's a space where the fuse for the washers should be, so you should be able to hook it all up.

The mg shocks go well on the deck. Rob (kyekye09 has them on his, sits nicely! Mind get some pics of the deck up bud, looking forward to seeing it

Them wheels are the biggest pain in the bum to keep clean ever! Just gives me another excuae to wash her lol, although in this weather it aint something I look forward to! She's back on the white speedlines again, as the snow didnt amount to much. Forgot to get a pic with the grey 5 spokes on doh! Rob, did you get the deck? I've not seen any new decks round here yet, but will watch out for ya! lol Gimme a shout next time mate Usually out and about in it most days, or driving Dawns deck on the other days!

Looks like a very tidy mb6, good base to start with mate!

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
