    Been doing a bit of an experiment... I've never understood why the arm rest on the centre console is basically unusable for me when I'm driving. The one in the accord is much better positioned, and extends. So, quick test fit... Extended: Bit worried about overhang, and not being able to use the window switches easily.. But also thinking about doing a frankenstein arm rest using the standard top, but the sliding bracket.

    No worries - hope it helps

    Here's some info on the door handles from the service manual - you can get a copy of the manual from our downloads section

    He is indeed. I'm not sure - I think that he was considering getting shot because of the dreaded emissions zone.

    Yeah, they sure do - got the full set off Gerry. S88 HON? His car was mint! I've still got "honda supercharger" in my saved ebay searches... Just in case

    I found that with the rear heko ones especially - they didn't seem to want to stay in at all. I added a bit of double sided tape to the tabs on the ends as it looked like there'd been some there before.

    Couple of nice upgrade parts fitted today that have been hiding in my garage for yonks... With thanks to @Gel for sending them up all that time ago, destined for tubs. Some nice new civic finishers... And some tasty climair wind deflectors.

    The stalks are the other way around - like on EGs etc. Much better being able to indicate and change gear at the same time. I'm sure that someone said once that the reason that most cars are the other way around is because all euro cars are that way for LHD, so it was considered safer to adopt the same configuration. I think that there's still something screwy with the wiring for the lights stalk.. When I plugged the larger connection back in it made the horn sound... I guess this is why the fogs don't work.

    Starting to feel a bit more normal today, so set about trying to sort a few gremlins out. Screen wash wasn't working, so after a bit of investigation it turned out that there's a non return valve that had been fitted the wrong way around when the garage fitted my bonnet... No big deal, but I do need to replace a few of the fittings as there's a couple of leaks and snapped clips. Grant had done the JDM stalk swap, which I'm pretty pleased about as it's the right way around, but the rear wipers weren't working. I thought easiest thing would be to swap my old stalks on, so whipped them off tubs, and went to fit them, then noticed that the plug for the rears wasn't connected... So I snipped some cable off the loom in tubs and extended the plug to reach the other side - job done. This also seems to have stopped the horn sounding when the fog lights are turned on, but now the front fog lights don't seem to want to stay on when you press the switch.

    Yeah, for some reason I'd always wanted to stick with the vti lip as that was how tubs had always been, but now that the MG skirts are on, they're a bit lower than the front which doesn't look quite right.... Plus.... I might already have a VTIS lip in my possession already.... Just in case...

    I'm sure that @robali123 did up above?

    Quick waterless clean this morning, so did a bit of whoring on the way home from an errand. Ignore the bit of bumper on the last pic that I missed cleaning... I need to get some smart repairs done to tidy up a few bits where the garage didn't touch. I also need to get it in for 4 wheel alignment after all of the suspension changes. Also got to get the back box sorted out as it was patched up to get through the MOT. also, those mg skirts are making me come round to the idea of a vtis front lip...

    Advice needed

    dr_broon replied to Faisal's question in SOS! Help!!

    @noodels were you running an skunk intake mani with the standard ecu for a bit? I seem to remember that you had issues with the cams using the P9?
  14. dr_broon
    Nice one - let us know how you get on with them after you've used them a bit. Been thinking about an LED upgrade as well.
  15. dr_broon
    Lush!
  16. dr_broon
    Minty fresh
  17. dr_broon
    that's the same one I found... The other ones were about butchering brackets etc specifically for the ring ones.
  18. dr_broon
    Sounds good... Find it great that things like that can be mapped in
  19. dr_broon
    Aw man, found a thread with links to the how to's on but they're not working. @Dave do you know if they're gone?
  20. dr_broon
    There's a how to here but I don't think this was the ring ones
  21. dr_broon
    If I remember, they were ring illuminators. Halfords used to sell them. Generally people used them to replace the oem ones because they fitted in the original fog light covers.. I'm sure there's a how to somewhere. I remember a few people getting a particular one off ebay, but no clue what that one was.
  22. dr_broon
    That should make stopping easier. What are you thinking about getting done to the map?
  23. dr_broon
    Just re-read that and chuckled.... If @UnicyclingTom or @Krzys saw that it would well have been amended by the editor...
  24. dr_broon
    Love the look of fresh disks.. Wish they always looked like that. I know what you mean about wanting to get cracking with stuff.. I'm itching to get loads of little jobs done, but I've been laid up with some weird virus for the last couple of weeks and it's properly doing my head in.
