Hmm, genuine Honda calipers, not a bad price i suppose then

£300 I found these on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321141757799?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 plus they give £15 cashback for old ones they don't come with the sliders or carriers, do you think that might be an issue?

The drop isn't major, but is brilliant to drive, also, i am nearing to putting some new rims on, plus some new disc pads and caliper on the rear, i think mine are sticking. Took the car recently on a 400 mile round trip, it gave me 42 MPG :0, i was pleasantly surprised

Thanks guys, i'm wanting to change the rear discs on my mb4, i bought the 239mm but they seem to be small would mine be the 260mm?

Hi guys, Does anyone know what the size of the rear discs are on these?

thanks, the car is quite clean, just the rear bumper had a few marks, but it's in the work shop and will be rectified. will get pics when it's back

not messy at all. a bit of coolant will come out, nothing major. when you take the iacv off make sure the pipes are held of straight up, you should be fine

Thank you guys, much appreciated

thank you, and yes, it is a summit brace, nice and strong

thank you, i think i may need to replace the rocker gasket, very minimal oil coming out, nothing serious, but want it to be perfect

Bank Holiday Update : Had a bit of time so did the following: Cleaned out the IACV (the picture is before it was cleaned, didn't do an after ): And sprayed the rocker cover:

thanks bud, will give it a go when i get time

anyone got a 'how to' to it, or a pic to show what i need to take off? will i need to replace the rocker gasket also? is it just the bolts you see on top of the rocker, or would i need to take the timing belt cover off also?

not taken any, will put some up as soon as i have some. I was wanting to spray my rocker cover, what would be the best way, not keen on taking it off

Just installed a front top strut brace

Oh yes, just how i like it now (too old for loud exhausts). I was wanting to get the pcv valve changed, anyone know where i can get one, i contact Honda and they had no clue what it was

Update: Nothing spectacular, but just had the civic serviced and had a brand new middle and back box fitted, plus also had a new CV joint fitted

Just the shocks and springs, it does actually feel a little better to be honest. I think 17" will be too big for me, i'v got some 15" wheels, will see if they are ok

Pdid you have the mg stuff fitted? Yes i did, not a major drop, but looks better. I think i need 15" or 16" wheels

Yes defiantely I think the car has dropped a bit, I think i was expecting a bit more of a drop

sorry, how do you mean? what did they do wrong? Well if it wasn't knocking before you took it in then they need to fix it. lol, you miss understood me, it was knocking before, but now it's not, it actually cured the initial issue

sorry, how do you mean? what did they do wrong?

I have had the suspension swapped over, but nothing has really changed or improved only benefit i have had is a knocking type noise which i think was due to the strut top mount, that has gone . Pics of my car standard: stainless steel manifold and downpip:

Thanks guys, took a bit of grafting but it's well worth it when your car smells fresh when the door opens. I'm going to leave the suspenion to the garage to do, if i try to do it, it will tae me a while as i only have sundays off I am going to focus on improving the look of the engine bay next

Ok, so i have adjusted the title now Some more updates: I tried the suspension, but couldn't get the rear bolts off, i lost 2 sockets Anyway, I had the wheel off and a few hours spare, so had to do something, so just did the rear calipers: Then gave it a wet and dry treatment inside, so all clean and fresh inside: this was all the yuckiness it had : And also gave it a bath outside, updated the first post with the new pics
