    Not much happening with DD lately as her mot ran out in June, so bought the ABS sensor from Honda and got her booked in for next Wednesday for mot and sensor fitting. Taking her to the dealer I bought the mini from as they've got a cracking workshop and decent rates too, so fingers crossed she passes. Then she can hit the road again! Looking forward to driving her again!

    Lol @Chandler you even got it in the right colour! And I've gained hair! Lmao that's deffo a bonus! Yeah, really is a great car to drive, never get tired of it. Some days I used to hate the idea of going anywhere in the TypeR, especially if it was in Edinburgh as the roads are shocking in and around the city. Just made driving a chore. The mini cooper, although still kinda stiff, is still really comfortable on all but the worst pot holes roads. While waiting for Gayle at the hospital today, had my tablet hooked up through the stereo, which sounded cool! Still need to find a way of getting a USB socket fitted though as it was just plugged in through the aux jack socket.

    Not done much to her yet, but did buy a channel swap wiring harness for the head unit. After reading up, found out that in its pearls of wisdom, BMW had all the bass going to the front speakers and tweeters, with the kids and highs going to the rears! They come standard with 6x9's in the rear, so this seemed nuts! Fitted the harness which swaps them around, and the sound is transformed! We now have lovely bass, and the highs are much better going through the tweeters. Gonna upgrade the front speakers at some point. Next purchase will be the wheels and cooper S rear tailgate spoiler. So far loving it, and gave it some stick on my favourite twisty coast road with Gayle, and it was fun! Oh, and only on its second tank of fuel since I bought it! Bonus!

    Huge amount of work done there mate, fair play to you. Is that the original rover front wings still fitted? I always thought they were a different shape around the headlight/ indicator? Bummer about the radiator but these things always happen. Funny seeing the swapped over parts going onto the civic too, means you now have a Ronda and a Hover on your drive! Lol

    It's possible the car may already have had damage if things weren't lining up properly to begin with. I have never used any jacking points at the front, always the ones on the side (wasn't aware there were proper jack points on the front). Did you position the jack on the chassis leg or on the actual slam panel\front valance itself? I wouldn't have thought the valance was strong enough to support the car on.

    Nice find mate!

    Awesome stuff mate! And good on you for giving it a go! Need to see this in person when it's done, gonna look amazing!

    Yeah tom they own quite a few hinda forums. Have been approached in the past by a company like that wanting to buy civic5. But declined them on the spot!
  12. Dave
    Yeah, i used to be a member there tòo, but stopped using it after Alec the sites owner sold it to that company. The site changed so much with adverts everywhere which slowed it all down. Plus these companies that buy all the forums are mostly based in the usa, so dont really give 2 hòots about some wee uk based club meaning the admins dont even moderate things. All they are interested in is advertising space. The mini forum im on is the same, owned by some company that wons hundreds of forums. They too got hacked! Ill keep well clear of hondacivic forum site now mate, ta for the heads up!
  13. Dave
    No problemo mate, will do
  14. Dave

    See, just like the m's werent scene cars, with the crv it gives you an open playing field as to how you want to mod it im all for that, one of the reasons i got into civic m's in the first place. Who wants to be a sheep and follow one particular crowd. Loving your crv mate.
  19. Dave
    Sorted mate! Will look forward to it! Show the local ep3's whats what lol mind you, not as many as there used to be around here.
  20. Dave
    Shouldn't have any probs regarding fike size so all images should upload mate. Are they different file formats?
  21. Dave
    Try clearing you browser mate. Can't do anything from this end as I'm still out of the country.

    Lol I'm past needing hairdresser now mate! Thing is, a car enthusiast buys the car they want not the car everyone else thinks they should drive. True what you say about the difference between the fn2 and the ep3, two totally different cars even if though they share so much. Loved having a go of your ep3, felt raw and you sit so much lower down in it. As for the fn2 being comfortable, it may have had the creature comforts and equipment but comfortable it ain't. Day to day driving sometimes even felt like a chore, which ain't good. Much prefer the car I have now.
  23. Dave
    Yeah mate, typeR was becoming a money pit. Gayle loves the MINI, but tbh she loved the typeR more than I did! The amount of times ive looked at other cars and gayles like " youre not getting rid if Roxy" lol. The wee mini has been fun so far, really like driving it.
  24. Dave
