    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.

    That looks spot on mate! Good work

    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.

    Went into the office today for the first time since last March, and in the way in, found myself in traffic next to a parked FK8, and it dawned on me that they're very similar size wise to a Civic M. Just been checking out of interest, and these are the dimensions for the wheel track and wheel base. FK8 : Front/rear track 1,600/1,593mm Wheelbase 2,700 mm Mc2: Front/rear track 1,465/1,470mm Wheelbase 2,620 mm Now that would be a cool (and expensive) swap...with some flared arches of course.
  18. dr_broon
    Yeah, I like those
  19. dr_broon
    That's a shame about the wheels, but at least the seller is giving you a refund. The new ones look like they'll work well though.

    Looks like a cozy garage.
  21. dr_broon
    Cheers. Think that with some more magnetic tape on the clips should make it stay, as well as making it sit more vertical as it's quite thick. Also, thinking of some kind of bead along the top line of the console to add the support that the blu tac is.
  22. dr_broon
    Sounds good with the engine work chief. That shift light fits in there spot on!
  23. dr_broon
    Hmm, having to come round to the realisation that Hondata seems to be the norm now. Cheers bud.

    That's one of the things that made me as about not worrying about fitting it in, you can see the big screens on a few new cars sticking out when you go past, and they don't particularly look out of place. Means that I can easily take the tablet out when I'm not in the car as well so no one gets tempted to give me lightweight windows.

    So after trying the little 7" tablet a few times now, it keeps crashing on android auto mode, but it's quite old and under powered. So I'm going to be trying a bigger and newer affair... Still old, but not as old as the other one. Decided to keep it simple instead of butchering the console - especially now I'm going for the 10 incher - would need a much bigger hole (stop giggling at the back). The blu tac is just while in trying it out. I've got two magnetic clip things, which worked great for the 7" one, but aren't quite up to it for this one. I've stuck some 3m magnetic tape on the back of the tablet, but needs a bit more help. And yes, my headunit isn't in properly, coz I still need to get in the back to do more wiring, and it's a pig to get back out once it's locked in.
