    Nothing is straightforward with these cars is it

    Aw man, that sucks. Don't blame you for not wanting to start chopping the metal out behind the dash, I wouldn't fancy it either. Plan b sounds good though.

    It's so true... There's always a problem to solve, and that's where I get stuck.. Trying to figure out how I'm going to do something and changing my mind all the time. I'm sure you'll get it sorted though bud... And Where's the pics?

    Happy fathers day to me

    As far as I understand it, the red key is only for use for reprogramming the immobiliser, and shouldn't be used. I've copied some pages from the workshop manual that might help. I think that you're going to need a new set of keys though, not sure how you go about learning the keys (might be a honda job) or maybe getting some used keys with a matching immobiliser system?

    Yeah, I do use them very occasionally, but they're so bloody awkward to use. Some big four ones for water bottles would be handy - I know someone made some of them once. Might look into doing that.

    Ah, that's similar to what I had on my konis. Nice one. Won't work with the standard style shock I've got now though. Cheers for sharing bud.

    Good stuff mate. Have you got any pics? I've got a similar problem to solve.

    Lips look nice mate.. The front end is looking pretty mean now with those tints as well.

    Amazing work Dave - will be good to see it installed in its glory. I've often wondered about this integra cup holders about whether they'd fit - look like they'll be so much better to use than those ones in the arm rest.

    That's a relief... Still a bugger though. A guy from work has a Caterham, and had a sheared bolt in the block.. He was really sweating on drilling it out. He got some of those bolt extractors, and a reverse pitch drill bit, and luckily the drill bit got it out without needing to use the extractors.

    It makes you feel good to know that someone working on your car cares about it - all good news on DD there

    Jesus! Is that the plastic itself that's reacted? That's a right cnut. I bet you were gutted mate. I'm sure that you'll get it sorted though chief, but it's a right pain that you thought you were done.

    Looks smart does that I need to figure out what I'm doing for power and where I need it.
  17. dr_broon
    That looks spot on mate! Good work
  18. dr_broon
    Cheers bud Looking forward to seeing the double din.
  19. dr_broon
    Cheers mate. Yeah, feels like I've got my honda engine back
  20. dr_broon
    Looking ace bud. Love the feel of a freshly aligned car

    Cack! There's always something comes up to get in the way... At least there's some new shiny bits waiting to go in Hilux's are class! Been thinking that one would be a mint camper conversion with basically a caravan on the back deck. Seem some crazy videos recently with Hilux's carrying insane weights on the back.

    For bumpers, you're limited to either oem bumpers from M civics, or some slightly max power style after market ones, that are quite hard to find anyway... I'm not sure if I've ever seen any fitted on here? For the side skirts, apart from the VTIS, all M's have the same, but the MGZS skirts do fit and they have a different look. Again, there's some after market ones too. The front end of the MGZS is different (lights etc) so the bumper isn't a straight swap.

    Since I'd got the car back, I'd been a bit worried about the engine as it seemed to have lost to end power - I was having to change gear about 1k to early as the power was dropping off. I've been needing to get my im ported to match the dc2 throttle body, as I'd noticed a bit of a drop off at high revs when I fitted it, but not as bad as recently. I noticed today though, that the intake to the air box wasn't where I'd fitted it - I had installed it so that the trumpet was in the void where the resonator used to be, but when it'd been reassembled, the trumpet was still in the engine bay, half pointing into that void, but also half covered up by the body. Adjusted that, and I now have high rev fun again... Phew. And here's a pic because purple. My camera doesn't show the purple flip very well though.

    Think that I've got the solution. Chopped the bottom piece of a hard case for the tablet off, and have fixed that on the console / dash. The tablet sits on that and it holds it in place, with the magnets doing the rest of the job. Works a treat so far.
