And tell Rich and Danny (the owners) your from Civic5. They are one of our traders here and Rich is a good mate and used to be a moderator in the forum too. He had the first turbo mb6 in the club. Dynodaze should be able to look after your needs bud.

Any ideas where this goes? Seems to have disconnected itself
Dave replied to Sampo657's question in SOS! Help!!
My eyes are shocking! What bit in the photo isn't connected up? -
Niiice! Glad you still have her mate
-
Damn, unless its a bolt, a bulb, a screw, or a gromet it's discontinued. That totally sucks! How the hell are we supposed to keep our cars going with zero parts? Thing is, most of those parts are dealer only so not like we can even get pattern parts. Dull times ahead methinks. Might start plundering scrappies soon and stock piling bits! Trouble is, there's no aerodecks/civic ms in the breakers up here!
-
Not sure tbh, but I would assume they can be swapped. Bit worrying that Hionda don't have the parts any more. Think I might have to get a wee letter knocked together to Honda UK to see if they are willing to help get parts back on the shelf for our civics. After all, its their fault for making such reliable and solid cars plus we have an ever growing club for them here and these well kept examples (which are now on the verge of or already are modern classics) will need parts to keep them going.

And could this be the next K powered civic m in the club? Gonna be watching this!!!
-
Yip, as Simon says have a look at Dave's K24'd mb.........started out life as a 1.4 MB2! The standard on his car is mind blowing mate, have a look at his build thread here >>> Dave has ocd like me (he'll never admit it though! lmao) and the attention to detail on this one will blow your mind. The car has been basically fully restored from a bare shell to the modified monster it is now. Been in it and honestly, you can drive it like miss Daisy and it potters about like any civic m quite happily. Give it some beans and you'd better be holding on!! Think he was well over 300 BHP........and thats naturally aspirated, not even a turbo in sight. Car is beautiful in every way! Just noticed he needs to update some of his photo links so will give him a call this week
-
Here Andrew, have you still got your Aerodeck or was this on the S2K? Know you had your MC2 up for sale a while ago but never knew if you'd sold it or kept it? Just shows the effect a doggy wheel bearing can have eh!
-
That's what I thought too. The car ran wide (no idea why) and he just didn't seem to have a clue what to do. Looks to have just froze.
-
Crazy isn't it, he wasn't even doing 70mph when he went into the bend. Only thing I can see is the edge of the road has all broke away and rough, but even if he was trying to avoid that no real reason for him to veer across the road like that and little or no attempt to recover it.

Just saw this on the MX5Life forum, really shocking crash between biker and Subaru. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/shocking-footage-shows-motorcyclist-fly-17547882

^^^ what he said!

Know a lot of members go down the decat route but I've always kept the cat as it saves hassle come mot time.

I found the MB3 1.5 quite decent power wise. My fellow admin DAVEMB2 has an MB3 as his daily which he's modded (naturally! lol) and think it is sitting at 125bhp? Feels really nippy, and gets over 400miles to a tank of fuel!! First time I drove a B18 (mate on here jalesi2001 had a VTi and gave me a shot) I was totally hooked! That's what convinced me to go find my own, hence Ruby. Has to be in my top two most fun cars I've owned! The VTEC crossover sounds amazing in them and they just seem to rev forever!! Highly recommend getting a passenger ride/drive an mb6, you'll be laughing you're head off!
-
You can retro fit it, involves changing the head etc. Think it's known as a "mini-me"
-
You got to be kidding??? First I've heard of that!
-
Induction kit will give you a nicer sound, and add some bling to the engine bay but won't give you many ponies (although there will be a slight increase). New HT leads (especially some decent spec ones) will also look sweet. You can go for a stainless manifold too plus cat back or decated stainless exhaust which will again free up some power. The manifold would look cool in there with everything being so mint.
-
Yes, bit of a mystery this one. If it was a 1996 model then could put it down to Honda just using up parts they had left to make way for the new MB Civic. Will need to watch out for other 1.6 non vtec pre-facelift Civics in the club, see what is one their chassis plates. It could be a mcuk up at the factory when she was being made, maybe they created the wrong chassis code by mistake? Either way, a really mint wee civic you've got mate. That engine bay looks really clean and original.
-
D series is a sweet engine, feels smoother that the B series in my opinion. But did love the B18 when I had Ruby, she could embarass a lot more expensive cars (she did quite regulary)! Have a look at Mae-Civic, she's tastefully modded her French MB1 (also in white like yours). Still running the D series too. Yoir mb1 remionds me of hers alot, love them both!
-
Might need to delve into Honda's history a bit more, see what we can dig up lol
-
Yes he has bud, check here >> I remember first time we me, I was in Ruby I think, and saw the vtis deck! Had my head swiveling 180' degrees! Had the white vtis speedlines same as Ruby! He also clocked Ruby so we turned round and stopped for a blether about all things civic M! lol
-
WOW!!!!
-
Mind and blank some of it out though before posting the photo! lol Does it say the model on the logbook as SR or LS? If it's LS we'll need to update our model codes page to reflect this, unless she's maybe had the engine replaced at some point? Can you see a vtec solenoid on the engine, and is there vtec written on the cam cover? Good close up photos of the engine bay from each side of the car and also the front would help identify things too
