    Yeah, was properly clutching at straws Since posting I've seen how they work with different gears meshing in at different torque levels, so you're right. I don't see how it could have failed without something serious going pop? Yeah it's the standard lsd. Unless someone's whipped it out at some point lol

    Like that

    It is confusing. The 5 door hatches are (generally) mb, and aerodecks are Mc. More details here though https://civic5.com/forum/main-pages/civic-5-door-and-aerodeck-chassis-codes/ Oh, and...

    Hi Nat. Meister r coilovers have been used plenty of times by folk on here. I think that k&w, and h&r both do coilovers for Decks as well.

    So the garage phoned today asking about gearbox oil. They thought I'd said that I needed lsd oil (I didn't), and said that they'd phoned honda to check, and honda said that only the integra had an lsd I said that it definitely has lsd as standard and that I normally use honda MTF. They said that they'd tried turning the wheel, and the other wheel didn't spin. So, the manual says that this means the lsd is dead. I haven't seen much online about honda lsds dying though, so my wondering (straw grasping) is whether the lack of oil in the box would stop the lsd working, and will it work once all topped up and oily?

    Cool. Finally managed to get a reply from goodridge today. The ones listed for the deck are the same as the ej/ek ones but the mb6 ones are different. When I pointed that out they replied asking for the lengths so they could double check.

    Yes, have to do some funky arm bend action to use the ones in the centre console. Like the look of the wrapped trim.

    Big step forwards today... Engine in Got some metal polishing to do on the rocker cover and the exhaust mani when I get my grubby paws on it.

    Which lines did you order? can't see any listed for the M.

    I ordered a dc2 one in haste this afternoon, so hopefully it's okay.

    Cheers man. maybe in the next week or so it'll be ready, but I need to sort stuff out with the DVLA. Would anyone happen to know whether the bolt that connects the lca to the cross member is the same on any other honda like a dc2? Need a new one and typically can't get one

    Still, cheer myself up with some more progress pics from the weekend.

    So no way of getting the konis refurbished... They're fooked! Seriously, you'd have thought that I parked my car in a salty pond every day, the amount of rust it's had! Trying desperately to find some new ones from somewhere, but koni don't make them anymore.

    A good heavy knob makes all the difference Those toyos should be good and grippy

    I didn't, sorry. My thoughts are, that if they can legitimately get away with charging the insurance companies for something, then they would do?
  19. dr_broon
    I had mine done by autoglass through the insurance a while ago, and I've never had any issues with it.

    Welcome buddy. Deck looks good.. Like you say it's super low!
  21. dr_broon
    That sucks! Was it reconditioned?
  22. dr_broon
    Nice one bud
  23. dr_broon
    Do you know if it's still kicking around Ali?
  24. dr_broon
    Don't want to ever see that tin worm again! Hopefully...
  25. dr_broon
    Thanks bud. I know what you mean - I've wanted to do this for ages now, and it's turned out to be the perfect opportunity.
