G Units stunning MB6 gets my vote again!!! (I AINT GIVING UP, IT WILL BE CAR OF THE MONTH ONE DAY!!!!!!)

The Honda EPC (electronic parts catalogue) says it is available to order, but Honda EUROPE has no stock. Basically, if you try to order them, it will give you an arrival date of the middle of next month, after telling you its on backorder. Then you get a message saying they are no longer available. (As far as I know, im not a parts man....!!) So, its the scrappy if you need the wiring loom and the rest of the kit im afraid!! Have you asked strictlyboost in the "For Sale" section yet? Send him a PM mate, he might be able to help you out!!

MB6 Front fog light kit is no longer available im afraid, and neither is one for a 1.5 Civic! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Done!

Now thats a good policy more test stations should take notice of Like I say, I will check, but if im right, (which I am 99.9% sure I am) then ALL MOT stations should take notice, cos its the bloomin rules we have to abide by, by LAW!!!! So there............pmsl!!!

Is MOT UK a forum, or is it an official website ran by VOSA? I will double check in the manual tomorrow, but when I have been on my MOT refresher courses, we have been told to give the customer the benefit of the doubt, which basically means, if the high level brake light doesnt work, then a tester has to assume it isnt connected, and not fail it for not working. As we are not allowed to take anything apart when doing a test, we cant check. So, if you disconnect it, we cant re-connect it to test it!!! To be honest, an MOT isnt worth the paper its written on, there are so many grey areas!! Its basically a test to make sure the vehicle meets a very low safety standard. You will probably hate me for saying this, but as a technician, i actually think the MOT test should be much stricter!! Anyway, i will get off my soap box now.................... Back to Daves Civic please!!!!!!!!!!!

Im a tester guys, and yeah, the third brakelight rule is complete rubbish!! The manual states that you need a working brake light on either side of the vehicle only, to pass your MOT, and it should work when the brake pedal is applied, that it goes off when you take your foot off, and when its working it should not affect the working of any other light, and its the right colour. If the third brakelight doesnt work, it SHOULDNT FAIL!! So, if anyone is having this problem, just disconnect it, or take the bulb out. In theory, you should get an advisory notice to say it doesnt work, but your tester shouldnt fail it for not working!! Sorted!!

Tell me about it!! Every time i get it on the ramp i find more wrong with it!! Bloomin' cars!!

I will try to find out but im 99% sure Honda wont sell the wiring looms seperately, it will probably be a full kit to be honest. Have you thought about finding one in a scrappy, then you can see how its fitted too?!! I'll try and find out the part number for the full kit if you need it, need my parts man's help for that!! I'll keep you posted!! Or, ask strictlyboost in the for sale section, he is always breaking M's and integras, he may have the wiring for one kicking about!!!

Thats a good little site mate, nice find!

Nice one Dave, been waiting for an update on this for a while!!! They look sweet mate, nice job!!

G Unit's MB6 gets my vote again this month, stunning!

I vote for G Units MB6, stunning looking, its what i want mine to look like one day!

Yeah i second that, stunning paint job, looks really good mate nice one!

Its a difficult one really, i have seen some absolutely shocking jobs from so called smart repairers and people doing it without ovens etc, however, a mate sprayed my xr3i and it turned out mint, (check the "what did you used to drive" thread!!) much better than i thought it would, and that was in a workshop next to his house!! I am no expert on painting cars, but he spent so much time on the prep, i rekon thats the key to a good finish! I will probably get shot down in flames by the sprayers on here, but im just going on my personal experience!!

Oh yeah!! I can see it now! thought the bumper looked kinda familiar!!

Do you work for Honda? The workshop has the same boring colour scheme as the honda workshops I have worked in?!!!

Another couple of monsters!! Nice one Rich. Im really starting to like the look of black civics with white wheels!!

Lovely looking aero Dawn, fair play!! It will look even better when dave puts on the VTI-S lips he has for it!! Get nagging him!!
