So, the way I understand it is that most civic M's were only made up to 1999 - I've just double checked on lings https://www.lingshondaparts.com/partscatalog/catalog/select/catalog/hondacars/method/model/ And it looks like the only aerodeck made in 2000 was mc3 (diesel) and for the hatch it was the mb7 (also diesel I think?), so any late regs must have been registered later than manufacture - my deck was a 99 reg, but was a 98 model.

Good luck with the hunt mate - there can't be many about.

So heard back from the DVLA this week - it's a no go on the reg swap, so the old reg will be no more. Oh well, it's a shame, but not a surprise. I've also took the plunge and ordered some MG skirts (hope they fit okay). I'm off down to the garage tomorrow coz I'm off work - see if I can get anything sorted before the Christmas break.

Cheers @dan1 - I've got an earthing kit added which goes all over the place... Hopefully it's found its way into the new chassis..

Looking tip top buddy Sounds interesting about the harness for the lights - mine have always randomly dimmed when the load changed like a fan kicking in.

Very nice. Looks like a super tidy engine bay!

And if you did want to swap for a different wheel, ek9 is the same fitment as the ep3 (as Jake notes above), so you'd need to go for dc2 / eg fitment. Accord type r is same as ek/ep3 as well.

Look good mate

Looking great there

Look well tasty

How that you get sorted in the end. We never have it easy with parts for these cars

It is weird - I'd always thought that eg / dc2 splines were the same no matter what, with ek / atr etc being different to that.

Found this that sounds like it might help. "Please note before purchasing: The Honda boss kits fit one of two spline diameters, this size varies car to car regardless of year so you will need to confirm your application before ordering. OH-136, OH-215 and OH-215L HKB boss kits fit a 15mm diameter spline. OH-196, OH-206, OH-207 and OH-281 kits fit a 16mm diameter spline.

Glad that you got her all sorted out and mot'd. I bet that's a weight off your mind!

Mate. Hope that you were okay after the bash! Shame that the prelude got written off though - worries me how easy it is for cars to be cast aside by the insurance companies. The new goodies for the civic should be good

Looking minty fresh bud

Is there some kind of mounting plate to go between the mirror and the door? Been a while since I've had a mirror off...

Yeah, very good news

Yeah, will save someone a lot of time and effort as well.

Fair play mate. Looks properly wet in that last pic

Nice

Hi there, welcome along Would be cool to see some pics of your cat and get a build thread going Little bit here on roll bars here : https://civic5.com/forum/topic/12420-aftermarket-rear-arb/?do=findComment&comment=307790

Yeah, I hear what you say, but you can buy more body parts for an Austin montego than you can for an M. There's the rover / MG cross over on stuff as well that should improve things. I dunno though... Maybe things will improve now there's less of them being broken with decent 2nd hand options.

That's good news mate. Hope it goes okay. I wonder how we can raise the profile of the market for after market spares for these cars... It's getting harder to find parts if they aren't ones shared with eg/dc2. @Dave do you have any ideas?
