    Advice needed

    Yes the B18's are an absolute mare to bleed sometimes. Just takes a lot of time so stick at it mate.
  2. Ebay is starting to suck!
  3. They look tidy mate and nice job on the covers. Bargain at that price too!
  4. Welcome back mate. Send me a pm about your old account and what's happening and I'll see if we can get you back into bud. MB's looking good!
  5. Looking mean and moody Craig. Tidy mb mate (in best colour but I'm biased! lol )

    Advice needed

    it looks the same, but that gasket on the far right if that's a rocker one then it looks more like a D series one!
  7. They look spot on...loving the vtis one though mate with the "Turbo" added, looks factory done!
  8. Not sure tbh although most PB vti/vtis seem to have a dark metallic silver so would assume that's the v- british grey? Think Ruby had the active silver as it was quite bright and noticeable and she was the Sicilian red mica colour.
  9. That accord looks sweet as in that colour mate, loving that!
  10. Its the Scottish borders Jake, so south from where we are now. The village we're moving to is approx 7 miles away from Galashiels, which is kinda like the Edinburgh of the borders. The borders is a huge area though and stretches from the east coast from the A1 across the A68, A7 then to the A702. All featuring loads of wee back roads just like that one!
  11. Always worth doing mate as the standard stuff is just basic speaker wire, so never going to give the very best sound. Sure the speaker wires at the actual speakers are not arcing/earthing onto the metalwork of the door? I've had that before, produced similar result to what your experiencing.

    Gorgeous looking aerodeck John, loving that!! But omg that Lude!!!!!! That is amazing, good call to preserve it and retire from daily duties. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of these two fantastic Honda's!
  13. Some of these muppets on ebay should be shot, they have no clue at all about car parts and are just wanting to make a fast buck, On the plus side........way to go Tubs for firing up so easy!! Good to see her heart beating again!
  14. lmao, not as fast as you'd think as there are sheep and coo's everywhere.......great if you like that kinda thing as a bonnet mascot, not so great if you like the shape your car is just now! lol Mind you, would be good for the civic5 bbq! It is indeed......but at the end of the straight you're into some nice twisty sections. Really is an epic road although a few of the corners are blind so have to be a bit cautious as the roads narrow and there are sometimes 4x4's, tractors and sometimes flying livestock! That road is gonna be Gayle and mines summer commute, what a great way to start and end your day eh!
  15. Damn! We've packed all the garage stuff up into boxes now (tools, haynes books etc) so cant get the wiring for ya bud. Is it not in the downloadable manual we have on civic5?
  16. Just had Mindy out for her first proper drive since end of October last year. Was freezing cold, but sun was shining, roads were dry(ish) so we went for a run down to our new house to get an idea where we're gonna build the garage, sunhouse etc. And yes, roof down! Did lunch again in the wee village cafe, then went for a wander round the village. Folk are so friendly and it's just relaxed and quiet. We drove back over the moors road that goes from Stow to Lauder then up the A68 to home. Thought I'd stop to get some quick photos of Mindy! Where we stopped is literally 2 mins drive from the cottage (less than half a mile) so this is what we have on our door step roads wise! And good to see the MX5 love is still there on the open road........got a wave from a mk3 then shared a lights flash with a mk2 that had the hard top fitted (wonder if either are on here?) Awesome wee run and think Mindy likes her new drive way/village

    My new german

    Those wheels look superb mate. And totally hats off to you for doing that vinyl wrap yourself, looks spot on in the photos! Not an easy thing to do but you've pulled it off. No....hang on.....wrong choice of words! If you've pulled it off it'll be back to original again lol! Ok, so not an easy thing to do but you've nailed it man! Be nice to see this in the metal, you fancy coming to the civic5 BBQ/run/camping stay over at Chez Gayle and Daves new place and the new HQ of Civic5 in the borders?
  18. I've got 16" wheels on my Aerodeck, think the tyres are 195\55 R16's though. When I first fitted the lowered suspension, the tyres would fowl the plastic arch liners on the front when in full lock when going round roundabout's. I then raised the suspension a but and that stopped it. I think it will depend on the offset of the 16" wheels you fit, the width of them plus the height of the car that will determine whether you'll get away with the 205's mate. There are probably other members here who have them fitted though so be good to hear what set ups they're running.
  19. Sad you've sold the mb,was one of the most memorable civics that have been in the club mate. Big fan of yhe 8th gen civics, have had 2 myself. That Lexus interior looks amazing though!
  20. Yes mate, no need to host elsewhere, you can upload directly here. There is a size limit (I'll need to log into the server to check as cant remember off the top of my head) but its quite a generous size, especially compared to most other sites. I'll look into this mate. If you try to upload one just now and its too big it should pop up a message saying what the limit is. Bearing in mind though that the standard photo size (in megabites, not pixels) is something like 3000 mb its always a good idea to resize them. Type in "johnsadventures.com" in google and on his site is a free image resizer (hes a programmer and makes free opensource software for folk) Its a superb wee program can resize one photo or a whole folder of photos in a few seconds to what ever size you want. Unusually set them to max 1000pixels wide as most other forums that I'm on don't allow any bigger.
