yup... that's the combo... rather low at the front, but tip-top handling with the eibachs i think that being able to adjust the koni shocks is great to stop the bounce, but when you get it set right, the progressive spring rate means that it's not too bad to live with... firm but fair this is how the front used to look (before I got some spacers to raise it up a bit):

Dawns Civic Aerodeck Updated 28/5/13
dr_broon replied to crazzzydawn's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
looking tasty as always looks ace with the headlight covers -
if you've got the optional honda alarm, it's probably the same one that's on mine. It's a cat1 alarm / immobiliser and it's made by a company called Hamilton and Palmer. the control unit for mine is under the driver seat - it's a black metal box bolted to the floor. it's a pretty good alarm - loud as fook... might be worthwhile giving H&P a call to see if you can just get a new fob. I had to get a new siren for mine and the tech guy I spoke to was really helpful. this is what the siren in the engine bay looks like: and this is the key fob: this is their website http://www.hamilton-palmer.co.uk/ and they're based in kent if you need to go see them

sounds good buddy

but you've ended up with a proper minter...

No bike rack having said that, a roof box is gonna be on the cards soon I reckon coz there wasn't much room left in at the weekend and I hadn't dusted of the big ass cool box. Was also eyeing up peoples bike racks on the roof. :saddo:

i love my aerodeck because it can do this.... and still overtake stuff like caravans safely and a random photo on the campsite...

Connecting the digital gauge with adapter 16-pin OBD socket
dr_broon replied to civicvti's topic in Electrical
I've been wondering if this could be done - any problems or did it work okay? -
well... gearbox is postponed until next week because of parts not arriving in time but at least it means we can take the deck camping this weekend instead of trying to fit it all in karens ep1 (the car with the smallest boot in the world) need to jack tubs up this morning to locate the rattle / knocking that's doing my head in. did think that it was the arb - exhaust fun that I've been having coz I'm sure that it's got worse since they put new flanges on, but it's in the back of my mind it might be suspension related.

mouldy bread + no toast + 5am child shaped alarm clock = might as well go to the shops

quick pic from an empty 6am asda car park this morning.... I thought she was looking real purdy....

mmmmmm noodles, your car is sweet as

Yello' When I was getting the sports cat, I was having a chinwag with the guy, and I mentioned the gearbox work I was getting done. The fella reckons that Royal Purple is the best gearbox oil and totally transforms a gearbox, even just on an oil change. Does anyone have any experience of it? I've seen some good stuff on the webs but wondered if anyone here had used it / know of it. Cheers
-
Cheers... and that's what she said

I know a honda tech who's got a pretty good setup at home (hydraulic lifts etc) - well handy
-
ta - the back box was always pretty low key. got that first, then everything else just made it sound a bit deeper... centre, mani, then cat.
-
so after a day of driving to work on motorway, country roads and a roads, I have to say that the cat's the one mod that I've noticed the most. I can best describe it as the difference between having v power or tesco momentum instead of cack supermarket petrol. it's like it's unlocked the other exhaust bits and I wish I'd done it sooner so excited about the gearbox now
-
Okay - did this this morning on the way to work, from a roundabout, and up a slip road. My phone was in my cradle so the sound quality isn't great (and the image is pretty dull ) 20120807_001.mp4 You'll have to click the link coz I don't know how to put a video in [EDIT: Vid now embedded without need for photobucket nonsense]

d'oh... ep1 = drum brakes...
-
subscribed would be interested to know.... assume that ep ones don't stick. I know the handbrake on the wife's ep1 is good
-
will do chief... I think that it might be time for the wife to do a drive by video. that is me driving by and her videoing me... not her driving past me real slow and popping a betamax in me bonce
-
- sports cat..... check - sounds deeper and "like a motorbike" (Karen).... check - pulls well... check only had a 10min drive from picking her up tgo dropping her at the body shop to get the door sorted, and most of that was in traffic / 30 mph zones, but I'm happy so far great place as well - guys really know there stuff. Wish I'd known about them before I'd got all of the other bits done.
-
got them from this website: http://www.acurapartsnow.com/find-parts/Acura/INTEGRA/1999/3DR%20LS/KA5MT/MT%20COUNTERSHAFT%20%281%29 and http://www.acurapartsnow.com/find-parts/Acura/INTEGRA/1999/3DR%20LS/KA5MT/MT%20MAINSHAFT so about $150 + postage + import tax can't remember what it came to... think it was about £120 (edit: the £120 included shipping) getting a bit excited now
-
yup - this is both here: on a side note, I'm pencilled in for next Friday / all weekend for the gear box...... and sports cat this Saturday
