I've got a chip burner as I was trying to just put a P72 map on, but with a slightly lower Iab engagement. I think that the socket on the ecu came loose though when I was taking the chip out - I kept getting eml codes for different sensors that I kept needing to disable on crome. Last time the ecu was just dead. I've had the socket resoldered, but not been able to try it yet. I've also got a zif socket instead now to make the chip swapping easier. Don't know if I'll be able to use the burner now though, coz it used the parallel port, and my old pc with one is a long dead Windows xp box

Ah cool, is it something like this? https://www.hamotorsports.com/products/cn2-direct-ecu-bluetooth-module I've had my eye on them for a while waiting to see if my chipped p28 works - I might need to pick your brains about what you needed to do if I get the ecu sorted. They do a cable one which might be easier, but I like the idea of the Bluetooth one
-
Nice to get it up and running What are you using for Bluetooth Jake? Has the coil pack kit got it?
-
That MG does look spot on. It's a really good colour as well.
-
Just read through the thread again - was a cool project!

There was someone in here a few years ago who was either turning an M into a rover, or vice versa - can't remember which, but I've got a feeling that he was putting civic panels on a rover? Either way, I think that it was a hatch rather than a deck. Would be interesting to see the back end and side properly, to see what's going on with the doors and wheel arches... Looks like a bit of effort gone in.
-
Yeah, that's a good point - they've got those flared bits.

Yeah, that was weird... Why bother making life more difficult by doing the same thing in two different ways but make it look identical!? Yeah, that's what the garage said - they said that (if they did it anyway) you'd never know.
-
I must admit that I remember someone else who had fitted them before had said they came up a bit short - can't remember who though. I'll see how they look. No, you're right it's not on the same circuit... I was poring through the Haynes circuit diagrams, and the honda workshop manual, and there's no links between the systems.... Must be a dodgy connection somewhere.
-
Had a call from the garage today, they were fitting the mg skirts and said that they were too short. They sent me a couple of pics. After seeing the pics I told them to carry on - I'll see what they look like in the flesh (at some point.........), but thinking that they might be okay. They said that they could extend them if I got the ends off another set. Weird thing, when I was there over Christmas swapping the dash back in, when I pushed the fog light button in it made the horn sound. I thought that maybe they'd done something screwy when they swapped my horn in, but when they had a look today, they said that it only happened if you try to turn the rear fogs on without the fronts on first, and that the rear fog light indicator wouldn't come on unless the fronts were already on. Anyone came across this before? He said it seemed like it was like that on purpose, but tubs never did that. It's another one that I need to try and figure out
-
The deck is looking ace - nice one. Hopefully the rust is minor and doesn't take much sorting.
-
Best thing that I ever did was the gearbox mod, with the teg type r final drive and longer integra ls 5th gear. No photos handy, but they're not that exciting anyway
-
Update to this as well is that they now automatically show the proper honda part numbers as well as their own, so you don't need to do the _pfk trick anymore

Yeah, quite a comprehensive selection of stickers there
-
Quite happy that I managed to get a hold of an unused replacement gear knob: I really liked the one I had in tubs, but the leather was goosed. Found this one the same on ebay still in its box (been in there a while by the look of it)

Nice to see you back in a Civic mate.. The deck's looking nice - sits well on those wheels.
-
I've seen some replacement stickers (for a Ford) on ebay, which should work with a bit of butchering. Would be nice to stick with honda style though. Can't beat a bit of tinkering on a Sunday though ey?
-
I've got one, and lots of other members have had them over the years. It's supposed to be one of the only options for b series that doesn't result in losing power, and is an improvement over the standard vti one which is the same for all models of m civics (at least the petrol ones).
-
Cheers @Dave - that's a shame, but not a surprise I suppose! The back up plan was to try swapping the wiring like you say, but it just depends on whether the circuit boards are different (probably are). Just spending time thinking about what I can do when I get the car back
-
Nice and clean under them skirts! Very that was a relief. What skirts are they mate?
-
Yeah, I was looking at pictures of the heated seat switches on ebay and thought that the body of the switch looked very similar in size, and then noticed that it looked like the front might come off. Even better that the whole thing comes to bits. Need to double check against the actual rear screen and hazard switch though. I'm planning on making a mini binnacle type thing to sit below the vents, so that should help with the heat.. Not that my heaters get that hot anyway
-
Aye, it looks like you've got that wrapping down sorted now. Good work!
-
Sounds good Dave. If I fail to get something sorted for my tablet install, I'll be interested in a double din.
