A quick one this month folks as we're running a bit behind with the competitions. Get the cars you would like to see win entered now!! You can enter another members civic or even your own. Lets see em! Entry time is until Friday, then voting will start and finish on Sunday

And our winner is Chief and their stunning aerodeck. Well done mate, love this one!!

Likey the details in the engine bay mate, looking good!

I'm almost sure the Integra DC2 one is the same, Just the rack that's geared different I think? Somebody will need to clarify this though.

Wow! that's gonna be one of the quickest pre-facelift Civic M-s on the road mate! Likey likey this a lot!! True sleeper.

Ok folks, voting is open and closes at 10pm on Sunday so vote for your favourite asap!!

Stunning and rare VTiS deck that!

They are really nice cars mate, even he FN1 (TypeS) I had was a stunning car to look at and the interior is amazing. I still think that even though it doesnt have the same power (only 130bhp) the TypeS was the better of the two, certainly easy to live with. The rock hard suspension of the FN2 is what let it down. Lovely car on a super smooth road tho! And quick!

gotta be done hasn't it! lol I was the same in Ruby.....same in Roxy lol. Only maxed them out once just to see what they could really do and Ruby impressed me (all she had was the stainless cat back and an induction kit) and she hit an indicated 147mph (so in real world probably around 135, maybe 140mph? Roxy i hit just over 150mph, so again, realistically around 145mph, maybe a wee bit more. Bloody shit maself in Roxy though when I looked at speedo, didnt realise we were going so fast and the bugger was still pulling! All on a drag strip obviously, and soooooo much fun! Main reason I sold Roxy was overly stupid stiff suspension and the fact she was gonna loose me my license!! lol

What a machine! Liking the sound of the performance mate, and that shine!!! Looks as good underneath as it does on top, a credit to you bud!

Still time to enter chaps! lets see them civics!

Good choice Simon, be interesting to hear how far this ones come along since last update.

Come on chaps, lets see your Civics!

Glad you got it sorted mate, and glad it was something east to fix too.

For the blower, test it with a multi-meter to see if it's blown. Or if you can find the live and negative feeds for itat the fan itself, try connecting it straight to battery as it could be the actual switch on the dash (although not a fault we've seen coming up in the past) . This test will determine if either the blower motor itself is ok and if the switch is ok or faulty. The rising temp most likely is an airlock. Both the D series and B series engines (the B series in particular) are a pain to bleed. It could be that when you replaced the coolant last time, there may still have been an airlock that you didn't get out which is showing itself now. I'd deffo make sure you've got all air out before troubleshooting further. This will be the easiest and cheapest fix if that's what it turns out to be. The thermostat is always an obvious source of this kind of fault, so it's good that you've changed it. Thing is, I've had instances in the past where I've changed the thermostat only to find that the new one is also faulty. I had 3 on the bounce that were new but faulty, so ended up going to Honda. Did you bleed the system after fitting the new thermostat? As said above, it would be a good idea to test the fan too is it may just be the fan is gubbed. I had to replace the one on Ruby years ago so strong possibility that it may be the fan.

Defo mate, be good to see you! Lots of nice roads round here too for a wee drive.

Right, as we've spent the past few weeks moving house and settling in, I've not had time to get May's comp up and running! So, here it is....Civic5 COTM May 2020. Going to run this for only a few days then go to voting so we can catch up again. Get Voting folks, poll closes Sunday at 10pm! UPDATE: And our winner is Chief and their stunning aerodeck.

I would strongly advise against buying it online if you want it to match (or be as close to a match as possible). Visit your nearest good automotive paint supplier and they should have the two colour cards there so you can put them against your paint to see what one matches best. Bear in mind that these cars are old now, and have saw a lot of sun/UV effects on the paintwork so your paint will be lighter than normal due to fading. My paint supplier is no longer there, closed up shop years ago which is a shame as they were amazing.

Hi Ricky There are indeed two shades of Orleans blue mica, but both have the same paint code. I found this out when respraying the bonnet and bumper on my MA8. My paint supplier had two paint match cards, one slightly lighter than other (for the MA8 it was the lighter one). Both were B77P. There is another metallic blue these civics came in which looks similar to orleans blue but is a darker more blue (if that makes sense?) colour. I think Chandlers deck might be that shade. Its on a lot of later civic M's around the 2000 MY

Skillz Yo!

Damn, least its nothing broken mate. And suppose with lockdown still restricting us it'll be easier to take things easy for a bit

You sure you havent broke any bones? Sounds painful mate

lol yes, this uber expensive invisible diamond encrusted white gold steering wheel . Very rare and pricey! Lol you do however now stand a chance of winning a prize in our annual Car of the Year competition. All 12 cotm winners go head to head in the COTY comp. There will be a nice prize for the lucky winner, along with a Civic5 COTY certificate.

Found the old guntree photos of Mindy from the ad!

Spot on advice from Jake. We have had a few turbo'd D series in the club, even a D1.6 auto that was turbo'd. Tyr the search function to search the forum for them as they might have interesting info in there that you can use. For professionals, Rich (civicturbo79 on here) runs Dynodaze in Hinckley. He built one of the first turbos we had in the club, was a stunning mb6 he turned into a B20 turbo. Amazing bit of kit. He will have loads of info for you, and nice guy to speak to (was a moderator on here at one point too). Nice to see another D series Civic M being turbo'd.
