1.8 Aerodeck from Finland (10 years of ownership)
dr_broon replied to Dexter's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
I had the same problem with my rear speakers... I got some mdf spacer rings off ebay and they did the trick. I posted about it here: http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=2988&p=33421&hilit=+speaker#p33421 just scroll up a bit from where the link takes you -

well.. picked up the flywheel (lad just let me have it as it was just a quid ) and it's far from light! if it's much lighter than the standard one, they must be well heavy! cleaned it up a bit (no polishing.... yet...) and going to store it until it's clutch time. been looking at the f1 stage 1 from ebay usa (I think the guy rich uses?) for £70 plus shipping.. not sure though.. my honda one has lasted 135k so far... and a caravan / trailer in it's past life. tempted to go honda again.

hard to tell by looking at the pics... they look like they've been taken from different sides but in the guff on that one the guy says it's off a b16... think the teg one's lighter again? don"t like the idea of that repair stuff, me mate had a c2 gt what had that.. he got a puncture and used it and it didn't work, and had to get the aa out... then was told that they couldn't repair the tyre coz the gunk knacks them.

aye... I was just thinking when I was polishing the last bit.."wonder if I can just get a sexy heat shield instead.... D'OH!" haven't decided about the brackets yet... they look a bit daft and are the hardest to clean, but handy if I decide to go for a shield. other than that I think it's a straight swap - think the jdm cat has a different fitting? is it rotated a bit I think... I think uk one is same though... ... fingers crossed I think it's less restrictive than standard, but still 4.2.1 - was worried about a 4-1 coz of the lowered action...

problem is, when i get it done and fixed on, that intake mani's gonna look pretty shabby as well... screw it... I'll do the whole goddamn engine bay!! I always thought my dipstick wasn't very shiney!

been polishing again.... been having a go at the manifold... stuck the down pipe next to it to compare I've just done the top flange / bracket affair and the left hand side pipes... had to stop coz I was getting claw hand and starting to feel quite sad.... I think I might have a problem

cheers blames just had a quick test... couldn't resist. should clean up nicely... not as shiney as the rocker cover though need to try something a bit more sturdy then a yellow duster though!

Well, been a few weeks of bargains currently waiting to get stuck on to Tubs: Got one of the (nearly) new MG rear ARBs that were knocking about a couple of weeks ago, and last night won a bargain ITR exhaust mani and down tube for a tenner. Going down to pick up the exhaust bits tonight, and need to use the ol' tap and die to clean out the fixings for the arb so I can get that on.... then its a full timing belt service at the weekend and MOT (and I think a tracking rod end). Busy time for tubs, next month need to get some attention to the bottom of a couple of doors where the paint's worn thin and sarting to feel a bit rough - need it done before the corrosion dust is put on the roads Also hoping to make my custom sub affair next month... been planning it for too long now - just need to get it done!
