Bloody hell, that looks ultra clean Stephen! Stunning example, and has to be one of my favourite colours on the civic M's (I am biased though!). Lovely civic mate and really nice mods. Oh, and

Wow! that was a serious amount of work, but looking great! How does she drive after the conversion?

bloody hell never knew the shafts were so thin! Must have a look at DD's sometime soon. Something I've never really bothered about but when you see that.....makes you think!

Looking forward to it mate, you'll love Civic M Ownership

@The pizzabacker Excellent mate, looking forward to reading more about these two!

@The pizzabacker Vladimir an you confirm if the civic 5 door is also yours please? Oh, and get a topic started for your Aerodeck! Would love to see more of this one!

And the voting has started!!! Vote for the civic you'd like to see win!

TBH mate, mine on Ruby was the same. If it was a really icy bit of road, even doing 10mph the abs would go like crazy but the car would still be going forwards. ABS is crap on icy or really slippy roads.

Hi Tiago. 1st thing to see is our buyers guide >>>> https://civic5.com/forum/main-pages/honda-civic-buyers-guide/ Next, have a good look thought he forum as most things from faults to modifications and whats parts are interchangeable are all in the forum mate. MB3 is the 1.5cc D series (with VTEC-E) These are really great all round cars, still quite nippy speed wise, but give incredible fuel ecconomy . Quite a few MB3's in the club.

Any more entries for this? We also need the links to the two civics above so we can see the project/car topic.

Ouch that's not good!

Jeese, that's a big empty space with it all removed eh!

Not been up to much being on lockdown cos of this stupid covid19 nonsense. Did however decide I hated those black centre caps on DD's wheels so managed to track down a set of oem ones and fitted them today. Looks way better I think

It's never ending Jake, and always one bloody bolt to halt proceedings, but supose if all the jobs went smoothly it would soon get boring. The satisfaction you get when you finally get the offending bolt out and everything's back together is amazing.

Wow!! That looks bloody amazing mate! That's giving me the incentive to get stuck into DD and get hers all removed/new bushes/painted. The difference that's made is immense bud, really does look superb. Only problem I have is garage doesnt have room to work in just now, tools are all packed away in boxes, nowhere to get new bushes or paint cos it's all shut! Damn it!! lol

God I love this car!!!!! Another superb (and still subtle) mod. Nice mate!

Jeese, was booked in for painting this week! That's quick! Yeah, totally sux this whole bloody virus thing, f'cking up so many things. The wrapping looked really good in the photos mate

Been hell adjusting tbh. Gayle and me have both had it (or at least a doctor told Gayle over the phone she has it without seeing her/testing her) so we're self quarantine until a week on Monday. I've had similar symptoms to Gayle, so assuming I've probs got it (or whatever Gayle has got!). I work in IT as a helpdesk technician, but our whole helpdesk are now working from home with council devices, which is limiting what we can do. I thought I'd love working from home, but tbh, a week in and I'm already disliking it big time! It's the way some others are reacting that is pissing me off though, I mean the mere mention of any kind of epidemic and folk go mad and empty supermarket shelves. I mean seriously, wtf is it all about when folk come out of our local Aldi with trolleys stacked high with every kind of bloody loo roll you can think of. Bloody muppets. Now there's none in any shops, along with the antibacterial hand gel. Folk are just so bloody single minded and selfish! Anyhoo, feeling a lot better than we did last week, just hope everyones ok on here too. Stay safe folks!

That's awesome Kal! I'm gonna add this to the FAQ section

Niiiice!! Looks a top job mate!
