Nice progress there mate.. I bet it's driving nice with the new bushes and suspension bits. It's sitting nice. Interior bits and bobs sounds interesting

That arb was pretty crusty before ey? My old one was worse for wear as well, not quite that bad though. I guess they're pretty exposed to all the road grot -
That looks cool. Could do with that on my stepwagon as the radio is miles away!

Sounds like a good one then bud. Cheers mate. I'm on my second shell though unfortunately... Rust got the better of my first one. I got my resto done at classic and retro near Langley Park, but that was mostly chassis work. There's aldo a fella up near Throckley that I was wanting to get some work done on my wife's old accord, but he was dead busy at the time - GBR body repair. Looks like he does good work. If you're Newcastle way might be worth checking him out -
So are you looking to replace the steering wheel with one that has cruise control switches? Assuming that the steering wheel fitment on the ma9 is the same as the MB/MC one, then you're looking at wheels with the same fitment as eg/dc2. I'm fairly sure that ek and accord shared the same wheel, but it's a different fitting to ours. EDIT... Just realised that it looks like the cruise control buttons are an add on to the steering wheel. It might be worth exploring parts diagrams like on Honda parts uk to see what optional extras might have been available and get some parts numbers to help your search. If, as the first post suggests, the US integra had it as an option, then the cable fell from that could be compatible - in which case have a spy at acura parts websites in the US for parts diagrams

Hi mate, that was my wife 😊 She messaged me to say that she'd seen an aerodeck there, glad that you joined 👍 Looks like a proper tidy example, been ages since I've seen another deck round here. Welcome to the club matey. -

Nice one. I bet it's raucous without the exhaust 😂 -

Those wheels look nice mate, should look good. Screen wash bottle doesn't look of place at all.. Handy to know. Do you think you'll get on the road before winter sets in (and the salt comes out)? -
That E10 is absolute dog turd.. Only e5 goes in ours, especially after it ruined the injectors in Karen's accord. It's like a double bonus of super unleaded in top of not being E10 👌

All looking good, and glad you got the shifter problem sussed. My head unit just won't fit in with all the various plugs and adapters connected to it... Such a small space -

Nice one. Sounds like the nightmare I had swapping the wheels on the stepwagon before going away.. Was supposed to be quick, but resulted in a snapped wheel stud, and replacing what could well have been the original brake pads given how they almost fell to bits.. Took bloody hours. Is she back sorted now mate?

I still love the go kart deck, but we've just done 100 miles out so round Cornwall in the stepwagon in the summer and it was spot on for comfort. Karen's civic is quite nice as a daily though.
