Can't remember whether I posted these pictures before, but I just found them on my phone. Nice and clean under there before getting resealed

Yes bud - they look the mutts nuts.

Was one of these, but in diamond white... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174647209615 -
Nice one Are these the wheels you're looking at? They should look pretty mean I know what you mean about getting the child seat into the back of the deck.. It's a bit of a manoeuvre isn't it!

New ABS sensor on, and so is the warning light Must be a problem with the wiring then Going to send the pages from the honda manual to the garage tomorrow.

Pretty sure that it was this website... https://valexracing.com/collections/fuel-line-kits/obd1-dc2

Hi Faz. I looked into this quite a lot last year as I needed to change mine. In the end I got a new fuel feed line from honda, and had the low pressure ones made up with copper. I couldn't really find any braided kits in the UK other than just engine bay, and not a massive amount of reliable info on what types and sizes of hoses and fittings. The closest that I found was a guy in the states selling full kits for a dc2 integra. I had some messages with him about it and will try and find his details.

Hello mate, the 1 series looks smart The wheels that's on it look nice, but I bet some new ones will transform it - if it's RWD are the rears wider still? Are you planning on going for something different or more oem ones? So is the deck off the road at the minute?
-
Not much to report... The first ABS sensor that came was totally wrong - think that it was for the diesel deck... New one came and was dropped off at the garage, and should be getting fitted on Monday and then MOT. had the Ep3 seats out today for a good old clean as they were absolutely mingling! Covered in mould from being sat in a damp car for two years. One good hoover and steam clean later... Came up really nice. Would quite like to get them recovered tbh... I really fancy going half leather with the vti fabric.

The boys got a ps4 for Christmas a year ago (bit late to the party I guess) and gt is good, but it's the only one in ps4, and doesn't feel like a proper old school gran turismo. Apparently gt 7 when it comes out is going to have some of the bits from the early ones that had got lost along the way, but that's just going to be on the ps5
-
Unfortunately not here - we're a playstation house so GT is the go to driving sim here.
-
Yep.. Bit of warm sun would do wonders.
-
Oh well... The old memory isn't what it once was
-
Always feel like they missed a trick not making a type r jazz - could have been an awesome little go kart.. Would have been interesting to see what a revvy k16/18 might be like
-
To be totally honest I've no idea, but my gut feeling is that it might be in the realms of the parts that are different - though to be fair I could well be wrong. I'm sure I remember folk upgrading to other honda brake servos though... Maybe dc2? I've got a feeling that @noodels either did this or was going to.

Gave them a good seeing to!

Brill topic! Well, spookily similar to you, but my best is my deck (the spirit lives on...), and my worst was a J reg 1.6 cavalier.... Looked pretty much like this... A £300 death trap of a car that I bought after killing my eg with a signpost, and did 350 miles a week in until the MOT tester condemned it. I'll take a photo of the fail sheet tomorrow
-
It is a possibility to be fair... Especially because when I was struggling to unplug the one off the old car I ended up cutting the cable off on the other side of the connector from the sensor... Meaning I wouldn't be able to use the loom of the old shell, so therefore it's bound to be what's wrong... Sod's law and all that.
-
When the garage first called about it, I said "oh, it'll probably just need resetting, the light always comes on, you just need to bridge some pins on the connector on the centre console, not the ecu one... I'll send you some info" Then checked the how to, are realised that I was thinking about the SRS one, and phoned them back to eat humble pie...

Good shout - I was wondering about that but thought that I was getting confused with the SRS light.

So garage had a road test which went okay. Need 4 wheel alignment with the new rear camber bits and all the suspension shenanigans. Also, dreaded abs light, so that needs sorting before MOT. Went rooting around under tubs to take off the one from there and dropped it off on Saturday, but they fitted it yesterday, and the light was still on. They were going to get it plugged into a reader to pull the code to double check. Looks like I'll need a new one though. I did find the Japan parts ones at micksgarage.com, but they don't seem to list the ones for the rear right. There's one for every other wheel, and then one which is just listed for the rear axle, and doesn't come with the brackets fitted. https://www.micksgarage.com/d/abs-sensors/honda/honda-civic/civic-vi-estate-1998-to-2001/1-8-16v-mc2-169-1797/products I was wondering if it's the same for both sides, but just the brackets are different? In which case it should be OK, and will just need the brackets swapping. I've actually got spares for both front side and the rear left in the garage as well

That would be interesting - the k20 in the wife's old accord tourer was good, but just felt lacking for that big beast (especially when full of camping gear and roof box), would be much better suited to this though.
-
Yeah.. It just worked and was simple as you needed it to be. I'd love to see how quick Windows 98 or NT would be on a modern pc.

Any sneaky pics of the track rat yet? Sounds like a well cool way to spend some time with your lad.

Ubuntu is fine until you need to do something other than just use it... Then it gets into the spending two hours researching on the Internet and pasting stuff into the terminal. It's faster than Windows though. Was using an old xp laptop a couple of days ago and that was super fast. It's a shame that xp hit the end of the road, as it was the best Windows ever.
