    Yeah, Marcus the used to be on here (think he's mainly just on fb now) had a white mb6 if I remember rightly. And there was another one, young guy from Birmingham had one in the forum. Both were stunning (saw the Birmingham one at the J12 meet we had years ago) Deffo few and far between. White decks, most famous one was Rob Kyekye09's one but that was a D16. Did Marcus have a white vti deck aswell?? know we've had one at some point in the club

    really good photos especially if they were done with your phone mate! My fav one is this! But the editing youve done to make it look like below pic is awesome!

    I had a rear seat belt on the TypeR FN2 that got soaking wet, but seat was bone dry as was rest of the car! Eventually tracked it down to the seal under the plastic roof/gutter rails. had stripped the whole rear of the car out at that point trying to trace it!! Bloody new cars are a mare to take apart! Might well be under the plastic roof gutter strips, I had DD's off earlier this year tracing a leak and there was a tiny pin hole (hardly could see it) in the sealant around the bolts for the roof rails. If you can get them off without breaking them thats where I'd look. Could be a small break/hole in the sealer, letting it run down the inside of the B pillar and into belt real (or spool or whatever it's called)?

    DAB arial was useless, the threadded bolt part of it was not long enough so couldn't get the nut to hold it securely. Binned it in the end in disgust! Back to oem arial now.

    my daily

    Dave replied to jaymb6's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC

    Did you ever buy it back mate? See the guy never posted any more videos after 2019 so not sure what's happened there.

    So sad to see you breaking the deck mate, been with you and in this club for a very long time and always loved this one. Out of interest, what did you get as your modern daily? The VTiS kit does go for decent money now. Think that's a fair price for the lips and spoiler without the skirts. If you don't get them sold or decide to sell them separate, I'd be interested in the rear lip. I did have the full kit for DD, got the front lip sprayed and fitted, got the side skirts ready to go, but some sod stole the rear lip from the side of my shed at our old house! Bloody gutted! So been on the lookout for a replacement one. Be nice to see how she fares on the track though, so at least not a total end for her. Will enjoy her new life as a track car I think!

    That has to be a record for the shortest distance a brand new bearing has lasted!!

    @TheRedAerodeck Edited the post to align the text/photos for you mate. She is looking totally amazing now, loving the new look with the suspension and wheels etc, all came together nicely. Great photo skills too!

    Welcome to the club mate! Yes the white mb6 was quite rare when new, but deffo very rare now. Looking forward to seeing it!

    Dave replied to Patrix's question in SOS! Help!!

    Sorry mate, only just saw this! I had to remove DD's as I was trying to fit a dab one (which failed so back to oem!)_ Yes, remove the silly little cap and the nut is revealed.
  13. Dave
    Will need to have a look at that! Thanks for the heads up mate!

    arb query for mc1

    Dave replied to MC2wo's topic in Chassis

    @dr_broon @MC2woNo, only the vti/VTiS aerodeck/5 door hatch got the rear arb. None on DD sadly. On the plus point, 2 less drop links to go wonky and need replaced lol

    Ma8 driver side window

    Dave replied to Pipo's question in SOS! Help!!

    @Pipo Pretty common issue on these mate. You can adjust the window from inside the door once you take the trim panel off. Been a while since I did it so can't remember off the top of my head what it is you need to do (you should be able to see all the bolts for the window channel and also the two that hold the glass to the mechanism). Pretty sure I loosened off the bolt on the glass and lowered the rear of the glass down so it didn't jump out of the runner when near the top (assuming yours is jumping out of the runner towards the rear of the front door?)

    Reminds me of DAVEMB2's mb3 that he still runs as his daily even now..
  21. Dave
    In that case then yes, braided lines and also maybe switching to DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Would have to totally drain the brake system of all old fluid, flush through then fill with the dot 5.1. The higher boiling point helps a lot with brake fade etc. How you finding MTec discs over standard discs?
  22. Dave
    @SaTaNeAtChEeSe Yes, Jake's right, 98 spec is basically the same as our vti spec, the 96 spec ITR would be a downgrade imo. Are you using the car on the track a lot or just the road? Cheapest bang for buck upgrade would be to try performance brake pads from the likes of EBC (or any other performance brand) in your current set up. I would replace the discs for oem ones with new performance pads......you might be surprised at the difference.
  23. Dave
    Soz, only just noticed this post mate! I would deffo go with the OEM Honda ones every time. Yes, any part with Honda on it costs a lot more, but the stuff is genuinely much better quality than aftermarket parts. Do it right (use oem) do it once. Do it with aftermarket parts, start flipping that coin! lol

    Wheel size

    Dave replied to Patrix's question in SOS! Help!!

    @Patrix Is your car lowered by just lowering springs or adjustable coilovers? If its the adjustable one, I'd recommend turning the button on the shock/damper to a stiffer setting. This should eliminate the issue you have when cornering.

    Wheel size

    Dave replied to Patrix's question in SOS! Help!!

    Hi Mate, think I can se the problem! When new, fitted with 15's, these civics had 195/55 x 15 tyres on them on standard suspension. You have gone up a profile size (so essentially making the wheel/tyre bigger than it normally is, then lowered it which alters the geometery of the suspension, hence why you're getting tyre rub. See this guide here >>> FAQ About Honda Civic M's - FAQ - Civic5 Honda Civic MA/MB/MC owners club To explain things further, and to help make sure you choose the right wheel oiffset/tyre combo, see this link here >>> Wheel Offset and tyre calculator - Brakes and alloys - Civic5 Honda Civic MA/MB/MC owners club There's a couple of links in there that help explain things better
