    Many Sony double dins have the single din rear section. You'd expect quality to be good on those. I've been looking for my Hilux and seen them.

    Personally I find a smaller steering wheel improves how it feels.

    Yeah it's the turns lock to lock that not great on these civic. Integra steering rack supposed to be a good upgrade. Not tried it myself mind.

    3.0td it's got plenty of grunt that's for sure. But it's far from mint. I've tidied it up a little. But not too worried. A coat of poor boys black hole has made it look far better than it did :) fixed few oil leaks and couple bits for MOT. but it's just a beater to sling stuff in and out of really. However I can't deal with driving a complete shed, hence giving it a little attention.

    Civic has been on the back burner a touch. However going to start cracking on now. My new daily has innevitably cost me a small fortune and precious time to make road worthy and also not so much of an eyesore. But glad I've percevered. Fantastic space can get three bikes in the back no bother. Boiler and all my kit for weekend jobs. Love it. Just my wallet doesn't must be doing no more than 15mpg. Thirsty girl

    I cannot picture it exactly. But yes I recall having to cut a section out to lower the heater and put gauges in there. And 100% had to on eg.

    Just crack on with it Dave. Nice neat cuts file edges. Do a good job of it and it won't be butchered and you'll ge the result your after. I recall having to do the same on mine and on my eg.

    I ran mg zs suspension on a aerodeck. Had to shorten the front forks 10mm to make it sit right. But honestly handling was fantastic imo. Very balanced.

    Personally I'd stick to OEM. Reasoning behind that is when I baught my car, yes engine had failed. But the aftermarket headgasket I found had almost burnt. The coating flaking off and definitely would not be sealing right how it was. And after my rebuild I used OEM seals on the entire engine except the cam seals behind the timing gears... And, much to my dismay they leaked immediately. Burning oil smell all the time dripping out from under the crank pulley. So that was that had to strio it all back down and fit new oem seals. Problem solved. Tbh there the only seals you will need to swap cams. Head gasket can stay put. Unless you wanna change springs aswell of course.

    When you say upgrade what are you planning to use as 98 dc2 are more or less identical. 96 spec dc2 are smaller diameter iirc. So are you thinking of dc5 calipers etc?

    That is really great Dave. Best conversion I've seen so far. The effort with the fibreglass etc makes a difference. Love it

    Here's This week's little project when I got and hour spare. Need a Phone charger, we all need that nowadays especially since I don't have fag lighter anymore. And also since changing to an s300 ECU. Don't fancy taking it out all the while so fitted a usb port so hook up laptop for mapping and data logging etc etc.

    There's was a fk lump for sale the other day! 5.5k tho. I guess as the years go by they will end up in ep3s and into the older chassis aswell. Would be a sweet conversion no doubt. Never had the pleasure but heard nothing but good things about the low down grunt especially

    unfortunately took a big financial hit because our ford daily had a gearbox failure which we were told be covered under warranty and then wasnt. so ive been grumpy and havent got the engine ready. i think i may install my spare stock engine temporarily. while i save some pennies again. did get some goodies though . all supertech valvetrain bits flat valves, springs and ti retainers. also got a new cheap runabout. 93 toyota hilux surf. bit rough and ready but awesome tbf always wanted one. ;)

    ive just baught an s300 because altho i wouldnt be able to map the car, it will be fantastic to be able to plug my own laptop in and make basemap, do some tweaks or change injectors without needing to trailer car to tuner. and i think can do a better tune with more features on it anyway aswell.

    phew thats a relief then nice easy fix. shes looking good mate!
  18. KiNK43

    Love the tablet setup that's great idea. Android auto is good.

    The mb is off the road now. pulling the engine to get block css'd and swap to a different piston. Keep toying with the k swap thing but I recon I'd miss the power. Been doing little bits as well when I get time, for example fitted some damper extensions so can keep a full boot trim and still adjust coilovers. And also modified an omex sequential shift light to fit in cluster which if I do say so myself looks like it was meant to be there.

    Don't think he does crome anymore actually mate. So hondata and hondavert.
  22. KiNK43
    That looks right. Just put a few washers between the arm and the droplink

    Like it. Stereos awesome. Would love to do the same one day

    AHH mate yes. I had exactly same problem After I let Kwik fit put some brake pads on my old prelude to get it through the mot. Rattling all over the place but lightly press the brakes went away took me a few days to realise. They'd chucked the shims in the bin. Plonkers.
