Was speaking to paul (bladerider) and he had some interesting info on the show. They have recorded an episode in edinburgh where theyre driving a lambo and two other supercars. Paul had some guys in his taxi who had been working on the show and apparently most of the footage you see is fake (in his own words). The trio turn up around 10 or 11am and film for half an hour to an hour (in-car shots and a couple of footage peices from outside the cars) and then bugger off to their hotel to get drunk. And thats them done. The rest of the days shooting doesnt even have them in it, the footage you see is the cars being driven by "hired professional drivers" (the guyscin pauls taxi). In the shots it looks and sounds like theyre giving the cars beans around the city but they (the drivers) are explicitly told they must not go above 30 mph. So again some camera jiggery pokery. The drivers told paul that its great work though, and they each get paid around £500 to £600 for driving the cars for the day. Nice job but wonder how much the trio get for their half hours work? The mind boggles!

Both are now crap imo Tom. Not really any decent car shows now tbh, although car sos is quite good.

If i was santa chandlers getting nowt for his cheek! Lmao ho ho bloody ho!

Lol I did like them a few years back when they actually put on a decent show but they just turned into assholes whose priority was about how many of the people of the country they were visiting they could insult and ridicule, forget about the cars. New show is the same only worse........so scripted its lost the chemistry between them that they used to have. From what ive read the second series they had planned has been canned.

Damn......thought id made my final decission but change of mind! Lol my final vote is cast!

Yeah, thats something were seriously thinking about mate. Garage we bought it from does mapping now too so have given us a quote to get it done. Not sure if the deisel has the same gearbox as the petrols but we've found if your approachnig a roundabout and go down into second, spot a gap and go for it it just doesnt wanna know if its below 1800rpm. And at 1800rpm in second means dropping back into 1st will have the engine screaming so bit of a bugger. 2nd gear just seems to be a really crap ratio. -

Looks absolutely stunning mate. Really love where youve gone with this one. Loving the vinyl too, looks amazing! My fiance has just picked up an 08 focus and have to say even though its a deisel its a cracking car to drive. Wonder if she'll let me get it vinyl wrapped! Lol -
Best bet is to replace both those screws with bolts mate. Rover 400/45/mgzs had bolts instead of screes, much easier to get out. I put copper grease on the bolts before i put them back in so should be easy to take out again if need be

Welcome mate! Reminds me of my MA8, same colour too. Loved that wee civic! Enjoy the site
-
Nice looking deck mate. Liking the mods you've done so far.
-
For suspension a cheap upgrade is to go for the mgzs suspension. This will give you a subtle drop in height and a slightly stiffer ride thats still great for every day driving. Speak to Tom as he has this set up on his vti aerodeck. Replacing the suspension bushes can make a world of difference too, whether uprating ro polybushes or even replacing with standard new ones

She looks a good UN for that kinda money mate! The girls got potential! As Simon says, water in boot poss coming in the rear windows. The bonding starts to break down on them through time allowing water in (same thing happens to front screen). Easy enough to sort though. Nice wee project you've got there.

Looking forward to seeing it mate
