she's looking good there bud - just read through the 8 pages (still playing catchup) and you've been a busy boy since ditching the smx
-
sounds pretty

x2 I'm about 5'11 (with a long back) and my head nearly touches the roof with mine. do quite like the position though compared to the standard seats... would just prefer them to be a bit lower. i used the brackets off the standard seats onto the ep3 rails.

sweeeet

1"£££$££"!! cheers Dave been planning them for long enough sick of seing the drive train parts in the conservatory
-
been too busy sleeping / being a dad, but that's settling down now so thoughts are turning back to tinkering. went though a period of loads of punto's round here... was 3 used to park round ours... until they broke
-
plus... i seem to have parked my car up a wall (ctrl+r) and i hope that noone's offended by the reflection of the punto...

more than the clear coat.... down to the undercoat / primer still honda allan said he'd see about getting my 4.7 final drive & ls 5th in the next few weeks... busy times for tubs - nowt for about a year, then service, and a planned trip to the body shop / sports cat / gearbox awsomisation process (inc clutch & dc2 flywheel) all in a few weeks.... YEY
-
boo... just had to book in another trip to the body shop - noticed a white patch on the passenger door at the jet wash this morning, sprayed it and a patch of paint came off - someone must have hit the door in a car park and damaged the paint enough to loosen it... arse

-
aye - but my honda tech mate did it all for me....
-
not good at all... oil change, brake fluid change, coolant change, valve clearances... all that good stuff. drives like a dream this morning.. and lovely feeling on the brakes
-
well, lovely big service today, hamp filter slipped in there too... left it way too long since the last one - think it had tar instead of oil

x2

just read cut springs... they'll need changing then..
-
sounds like you're in for some fun if you did go eibachs you'll definately need better shocks... for the roads, but massively for track and especiallly the ring - the bounce with standard shocks is scary. if i had my time over, i'd try the koni yellow shocks on the standard springs, but with the spring cups on the shocks on the owest setting so you still get a bit of a drop.. I reckon that'd give a comfortable ride, but much better handling than standard. always gives the choice of upgrading the springs if still needed. wish i'd done the shocks first so I knew - anyone else upgraded shocks but not springs? sorry if I'm hijacking the thread a bit, but for control in bends good shocks rock

Alygna's VTiS 5 stud from France - Carbon gauge cluster!
dr_broon replied to alygna's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
just read through your thread - nice work. those wheels really suit interested to see how you get on with the brakes -
it's not just that - I'd rather still have a cat really probably a peace of mind thing
-

the guy at powerflow (when i found out about the hole in the cat) said it wasn't worth getting a sports cat coz it'd fail the mot so i might as well get a decat and just put a cat in for the test! i said i'd think about it and drove straight to AAS. they said the there would be any probs with a car that age getting through the test...

full report in a few weeks

£250 fitted. got high hopes for it... heard a lot of good stuff about these guys. when i called over today they're propper engineers with some cool toys there. http://www.aas-exhausts.co.uk/ tbh I wish i'd known about them before getting the other exhaust bits done. they've got a 3month waiting list, but coz it's just a cat they've squeezed me in early august (must have looked sad when he told me end of September )
-
how many different parts of my exhaust could have been blowing at the same time? got my replacement super sprint centre fitted because the old one finally rotted through (bracket came off), and when that was done, my mate who stuck it on noticed the weld had cracked on the flange on the back box - took it to power flow, who said it needed two new flanges, one at the back, and one at the cat. just had them changed, and it turns out that there's a hole in the top of the cat as well!! so 4 places apparently... so that's made that decision - booked in to AAS for a nice new sports cat been waiting for that excuse to come about
-
cheers Mark, i ended up getting one from a scrappy, but have recently found out that lings honda still can get them. hope you get it sorted, and make sure that you paint it with hamerite or something before it goes on so you don't need to change it again
-
cheers chaps
