    A wee photo from bedroom window of DD and Mindy at our new house.

    Its a weird one! Back end (lights) look like a Merc? Its a big old thing aint it! Think it needs the rear side window to be bigger though so it at least looks more estatey (hey I made a new word!)

    My fav bit of doing a car...the paint! Looks amazing mate, and those seats are uber cool. Looks like they were fitted at the factory! EP3 is a nice car to drive. Been a passenger in Adams (jalesie) EP3, and drove Krzs EP3 when he was up visiting. Had the FN2 at the time and EP3 was totally different to drive. Only thing I wasn't keen on (as was the case with the FN2) was the suspension was a bit stiff for me but that's just personal taste really. Had a go in Bladerider929's EP2 aswell. Obviously not anywhere near as quick as the EP3, but still a nice car to drive.

    Yes thinking about it as it would make it easier to just rock up, park and plug her straight in. Saves the hassle of having to get the charger out, connect it to battery then connect it to power etc.
  9. Dave
    Yeah, every civic m I've owned does it. Bloody annoying! Charger came so just waiting on my outdoor socket arriving then we're good to go.

    Not done much to DD lately tbh. She had a slow puncture (or so I thought) but turned out one of the Cades alloys had a tiny pinhole in the outer rim. Found a place locally that repaired it and hasn't leaked since! Also, as I'm working from home, she has been sitting in the drive. the usual civic M thing happened, after 2 weeks, battery stone cold dead. Got it charged again and have now bought a trickle charger that I'm going to fit to her (hard wire) then fit an outside mains socket next to where she parks so can just plug her straight in when she's not being used for a while. Does that mean shes electric? lol be the first Civic M that you plug in at night! lol DD is now very much uprated with technology seeing as shes a daily. She now has: Full Bluetooth Wireless phone charging Dashcam built into rear view mirror Rear camera Alexa Auto (can now just say to her "play such and such and hey presto, it plays. Great for getting a live traffic report too!) Her own 4G wifi network! With all the tech, she's actually really great to have as a daily now! Will get photos of everything later to show what shes got.

    Bring back Neons they said!!!!!! lol So Craig did! Looks good mate! Love the job on the bump strips, been contemplating doing the same thing with DD's as the ones on the doors are pretty faded now. That looks so much better.
  12. Dave
    Although a few more years and this will deffo be Dave!

    Already bought another Honda mate! One of the first things we had to do when we moved in. our Flymo wouldnt even look at that grass, couldnt get it to hover so was having to push it. Cutting all the grass took 2 days the first time, then about a few hours spread over a day and a half once we'd got it short. It was killing me! So we got a great deal on a brand new Honda petrol mower which has drive aswell so pulls itself along. Now takes me 45 mins to do whole garden! Honda Rocks! Dave>>>>

    lol yes, i always loved an electric aeriel back in the day, meant you had a posh car/pose value lol Pic only shows a little of the back garden, it's absolutely huge.............................as is the side bit.................and the front! Seemed like a great idea at the time, now got so much to try and do to the garden as it's not been well kept!

    Sooo, not done much to Mindy at all during all this COVID stuff. Have had her out a fair bit for a run, but not done anything to her. So, decided that as much as I love the look of the wooden steering wheel I bought for her I had gone off the look now and am going for a more subtle look with the interior. So bye bye wood/chrome wheel, and back with her oem Nardi black leather wheel. Just think seeing as I took all the fake wood off the centre console to make it back to black, the wood one the wheel looked out of place. And although with it being smaller it gave me more leg room, it obscured most of the instrument dials which really annoyed me. Add to that the fact that when the sun was behind us, at some angles/height of the sun it would reflect off the chrome spokes and blind me when driving! Any hoo, back to black as Amy Whinehoose used to sing.......interior is now black and red with chrome/stainless details. Much simpler and better looking I think And although Mindy is normally parked in the car port next to garage, and Gayle Juke (aka "Effie" as she looks like a wee elephant lol) is where Mindy is in this next photo, thought it would be nice to get a wee photo of Mindy and DD together. This is the view into back garden from our bedroom window! Mindy now back under her cover and in the car port. Managed to pick up a mega hard to find part..........oem mk1 mx5 electric aeriel. Prev owner had fitted a modern stubby one which looked totally out of place on her.....plus had to be removed everytime I wanted to put her cover on. Removing it left a long bolt sticking up, which would damage the cover, so it had to go! Going to see if I can maybe get this fitted on Monday or next weekend. Came with all the wiring too, so will be like an oem install. Just a wee detail but one which will make a differnce.

    Comfy all the way for me now, just don't like cars where you feel every bump. DD is nice and comfy now since getting rid of the Meister's. Trade off is the ride height but I can laugh at speed bumps and kerbs now without worrying about the scrape. Much nice drive imo
  17. Dave
    Can't wait to see this!!!
  18. Dave
    Those are lush! Think DAVEMB2 has them in Trinity D, really nice seat and also comfy as anything! Good choice mate!
  19. Dave
    and just to confuse things even further, it could be an MB lol An MB9 is a 1.5cc Aerodeck &l tan MB8 1.4ccAerodeck but I'm almost certain the 1.4 deck was never available in the UK. The 1.5's were actually decent!

    Aerodeck MC1 auto box

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

    Yes, DD has an auto box. Power wise I think they're quite durable, have had a couple of Turbo'd D series civic M's in the club and didn't here anything about the boxes struggling. The D series engines with autos have different power outputs, ranging from 90bhp up to I think 115/120bhp. recon you'd be safe up to at least the 180 mark? What kind of power are you looking to get out of the engine? DD is standard engine wise apart from a stainless cat back exhaust so doubt she's pushing anything other than her standard power, maybe slightly more.
  21. Dave
    It is really strange mate, you would think you would notice a difference in how she drove, and would have thought there would be some kind of noise from the box itself if something has failed. I'm gonna pm Adam see if I get a reply
  22. Dave
    I wouldn't have thought the lack of oil would stop it working mate, but suppose it depends on the different types of lsd. Have seen a few car shows where they've fitted an lsd to a car that didnt already have it, and during the gearbox build have shown how it works so as the gearbox was on the bench at the time Im assuming it was empty? Not a Honda part I've ever heard of failing beforem deffo a first. Adam (jalesi2001) that used to be on here would probs know, but I've lost contact with him. I can ping him a message via Fb if you want? Is it the standard mb6/mc2 lsd you've got?
  23. Dave
    love how this car keeps evolving/changing with the trends.Prefer it without the stckers tbh, think it looks more subtle and classy. Nice work mate
  24. Dave
    That looks epic mate, loving the new rims!!!
  25. Dave
    Yes mate, know about the jacks failing lol I had my mb6 up on a trolley jack years ago, and went in for a cuppa. Came back out and the front of the car was on the ground, sitting on its brakes!! Thought to myself, jesus, I could have been under that!! Just thought it would be a quick way of getting the car up in the air then put the axle stands under it, deffo wouldnt trust an airbag to hold the car while i work on it bud
