    That looks like it's worked really well mate.. Do you have to mask anything off, or is the heat low enough for it not to matter? What's the theory, is it something to do with the oils in the plastic?

    Pretty cool experiment buddy, good luck with it. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

    Top cleaning job matey! I know what you mean, always end up having at least a glance over the shoulder waking away in a car park, and there's just something about the way the lights in a multi storey make them look.

    What a transformation!

    Cheers Actually crapped myself at first, I thought it'd been knicked cos it wasn't where I thought it was parked. turns out it was a bit further down and was obscured by some modern lump. yeah, know what you mean about the big fogs. Just need to figure out what to do about a surround for them just to finish it off nice. Looking back on ebay the other day, turns out they're raybrig from a honda stream.. Not dc5.. Not sure where I got that from I'll blame 2 years of foggy memory since buying them.

  9. dr_broon
    Much better! Bet that wasn't a sweaty couple of hours' work.

    Clio looks canny with the drop

  13. dr_broon

    It's one that Grant had in that I inherited.. It's pretty good, fits in nice, I just need to come up with a better way to attach it, as it's pretty much just screwed into the liner behind. The rattle was coming from the plastic trim under the window, so should be easy to sort.

    Mate, I'm going to be so jealous of that when I'm packing the accord for camping tomorrow.

    Yeah, love the purple... Wish it could be there all the time. Sound's much better... Got some vibration from the sub enclosure but I think it needs some better mounting points. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the sound now. A while ago I got some new door speakers off ebay, which weren't what the ad said they were, but turned out to be the optional extras for the car anyway, and they sound much better, as well as being a direct swap. Happy days. Just need to figure out what I'm going to do with the mounts for the roof ones as they fairly stick out. Thinking of attacking them with the sander to round the corners off, but that will make covering them more difficult.

    Looks nice on those wheels

    Looking good bud. You got any trips away planned in the bus over the summer?

    Couldn't resist taking a purple pic when the sun came out during a car wash today. Good wash and wax, and some vacuuming action as well. Also, got the gummi phledge out to revive the rubbers and plastic. Such great stuff. Comes up like new...

    Exciting times mate

    Test fit of the fog lights after butchering the DC5 ones a wee bit, chopped the rivets of to get them off their own mounts, and had to chop some bits of brackets off so they fit in the space. First time I've used the cutting disks on the dremel.. Quite handy. One new, one old Two new Better than these tired old Ring Illuminators.. Was never happy with them and put up with them for at least 10 / 12 years

    Didn't notice when I read it
  23. dr_broon
    Pleased to hear that mate - good to get it sorted out. Properly weird about that bolt though - I guess that something always has to be a pain when you're doing a job though.

    I've never went injector shopping before so I don't know what's normal, but loads of places were either out or had low stock

    So a few months back, my brother in law had a problem in his civic with an r18 engine where one of the injectors failed. My mate who works on our cars and used to work in the workshop at Honda is still in touch with guys he used to work with said they'd started seeing loads of injectors going, and thought it was because of e10. Fast forward to yesterday, and Karen's accord started sounding rough (she said it sounded like a scooby) and had an engine warning light on. Turns out it was a misfire on one of the cylinders.. Everything else checked out okay, so have ordered a new injector for it - my mate said when he was speaking to the parts guy at the dealer, apparently they'd ordered 18 injectors in a single week, which is totally unheard of. Needless to say, Karen's also now not touching e10 anymore. Normally bullet proof k24 felled by some rubbish fuel (or at least so it seems). Nuts when you think my b18 has been rocking on for over 20 years and well over 200k and never had an issue with an injector. Don't even remember anyone on here having issues.
