Dave replied to Dave's topic in Chat Lounge
lmfao, you've just given me an idea! Sorry visitors, the guest room is booked! haha! Has to go down as one of the most unusual pocs we've had of a Civic M lol -
This looks straight out of a magazine! Nice shot! -
This looks so cool mate! Has she been resprayed or vinyl wrapped? -
Welcome to Civic5 Sergio. Stunning looking Aerodeck you've got there, I was just looking at this last night on our FB page so glad you've signed up. Looking forward to seeing more photos of the Aerodeck, 1st yellow one here I think!
-
As the title suggests, lets start the new year off with the 1st pic of your Civic M this year! Here's DD to get you started!

Hi Skip, If you're on a tight budget, then getting the springs/dampers from a MGZS is a cheap and effective way to stiffen the suspension and also drop the height slightly. You will need to mod the front forks slightly (Give Noodels (Andrew) on here a shout as he has great knowledge on this) If you had an mb6, you'd need to use the rear ARB drop links from the MGZS too, but as your 1.6 doesn't have the rear ARB you won't need them. However, the rear arb is also a good mod and improves handling too. If you have a bit more money to spend, KONI do a kit for the mb6/mc2 so i assume they also do the same for the 1.6 too. If your budget is bigger still, MeisterR do a fully adjustable coilover suspension designed for our Civic M's. They are also one of our sponsors/traders so will be able to give you plenty of help and advice. I have bought the MeisterR coilovers for the MB6 (aka Ruby) that I had and then bought them for my Aerodeck 1.6 (aka DD). They are a great bit of kit, although I'm now thinking about going back to standard OEM suspension as the deck was originally being kept as a show car only but is now my daily so I prefer a bit more height to make her more practical. So basically all depends on your budget mate. Dave

Thought I'd updated this! lol So, the new leather seats we refurbed are now fitted along with the wood trim for the dash/centre console. Also fitted the leather gear surround and handbrake cover. Think the interior is really transformed now, kinda made our own wee limited edition.
-
Wow! So thats where Santa got to with all my presents!! Some really nice parts there mate, shes gonna be one pampered little Civic!
-
Purple shiney things, so much goodness! She looks amazing mate, that PB is really popping!
-
Love seeing this Civic, looks like my old civic MA8 twin!
-
Bloody hell Darren you're keen! Vinyl wrapping it yourself? Kudos to you mate, not something I'd try myself, looking forward to seeing how it turns out mate.
-
Merry Christmas to everyone from us too! Hope Santa was good to you!
-
Yes turned out not bad eh! Quite chuffed with them and wont have to worry bout them getting covered in grime.

So, the refurb of the wheels is complete! I decided on making them just a bit different so went and bought this..... Thought it would make them look a bit dofferent and brighten up the all black wheel/tyre combo. Very 70's/80's lol So here's what they looked like pre-refurb.... And now.... Think they'll look ok for DD's "Ghetto" winter wheels. Also fitted the centre caps I bought, and then fitted the blue vinyl H logos to the centre caps. Also, to save the brand new OEM mates we bought for her, I invested in a set of these... Just need to get the wheels fitted then suspension swapped back to her oem stuff and she'll be winter ready!

Such a great job you've done to her mate. Agree with Simon, these do seem to have aged well, and look so much nicer than some of the brand new cars out there. I love finishing work and walking back and seeing DD parked up in the distance! And as I've said before, its also nice to see these civic m's being restored to such a nice standard rather than just modded. Bit of both works wonders!

Those look sweet as mate!

That's one of those daft bumper quick release things that are every boy racer must haves! lol They are apparently inspired by similar things fitted to race cars/rally/drift cars where they make front/rear bumper removal after a bump quick and easy. On a road car, they just look daft in my opinion. Drilling a hole into the front wing to fit them is just creating another spot for rust to start. I'd remove them anf ill the holes mate, would look much cleaner and tidier. The alloys look much better than them steels! Deffo an improvement.

Oh yes, deffo getting that lus something else just arrived for them!!!

Thought that was you I saw on the news. Looked like you farted when approaching the junction, which had a similar effect to "vtec just kicked in Yo", so hard to determine how quickly you were approaching. Lol just kidding mate! When I was last out on the bike the thing that I felt was utterly vulnerable and scared. I tried my best to keep close to the kerb (which initself poses even more risks if your pedal catches the kerb plus pedestrians suddenly stepping out) when riding down the high street here but even then trucks were like cm's away from me. Approaching junctions basically felt like playing roulette. On saying that, been thinking that depending where our new house (if we ever bloody find it) I might be able to get the train to the far end of town where I work and bike it in from there. Wouldnt be as hardcore as you though! Could only do it in the warmer weather lol (I'm old so it's allowed!! ) Glad you're ok mate, as a cyclist/biker always comes off worst against cars/other vehicles. Hope you gave the idiot a rollicking! It's not just the injuries you get when you land after hitting a car etc, it's the injuries you can potentially get depending where you land. Land on the side of oncoming traffic and it can be horrific, and sadly sometimes fatal. Hope you get the bike fixed soon bud

Should be on either end of this week or end of next week mate! Garage is going to be out of bounds as as we'll be using it to store the furniture from both bedrooms while the walls are fixed.

That looks stunning!! Love it mate, subtly modded and oh so mint! The guages are sweet too, the fact they help my ocd (the 3 guages match in with the 3 heater controls!) Looking forward to hopefully seeing her in the metal some day Must start getting meets going on here again, the current crop of members cars are amazing!
-
Centre caps now ordered for the winter wheels.
-
Looks like they have a bore of 56mm. Centres ordered!
-
Ewwwww... Deffo no a fan of the wheel trims lol Have seen an idea I fancy using ones from an older civic, but not too sure if they will fit. Suppose I'm gonna have to go measure the centres then hit ebay!
