    Might be worth getting in touch with these fellas https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/ to get some advice?

    For steering wheel you need either eg or dc2. Ek is the same as the old accord type r, and ep3 I believe, which probably means the same as other more modern Honda models. I'm sure I've seen at least one how to on here about fitting the dc2 one. @Dave am I imagining that you have one in DD?

    Custom springs! Interesting.

    Wow, I bet that wasn't much fun at that speed! Was it on the way there or back (or do the photos answer the question?

    Hi Martin, good to see a new deck joining the club. Not many VTI aerodecks, and that one sounds like it's had plenty of love from honda. Will be interested to see where you take it next.

    bud.. Lovely mb there. The red rocker cover looks nice and fresh.

    Cheers, the invoice says that it's purple candy. don't know if that's an official name though.

    Thinking about it, I wonder if it'd previously had been drilled to punch the slider out?
  16. dr_broon
    No idea... Only one of them is like that. The guy pointed it out that it was odd. He's added some sealer in there, but no idea why that one's different.

    Really happy with the work to be honest, and how he's made sure that everything's done right. He showed me what came out of where the handbrake bearings should have been and it looks like there's just been some sort of mastic out filler squirted in to hold the shaft in place. Got some new handbrake cables, and some braided lines as well, so hoping that the brakes will be better than they have been since I've had her.

    Also picked up the petrol tank from the powder coater today as well. Don't want to have to replace that again again.

    Brakes back fully refurbed With the pleasure of these little fellas for the handbrake bearings

    Congrats @dmrichards

    I've just had those windows resealed on my deck, not sure if it's sorted my leak though... Hope so as I've just had all the rust cut out and welded.

    Arrived yesterday, dropped them off last night, and after some mild grinding of the caliper to clean up the chamber, it fitted like a glove Massive props to @shebabby for pointing me in the right direction on ebay. For anyone else in Internet land who needs needle roller bearings with a hole for honda brake caliper handbrake mechanisms, you need 7E-HKS BA1012 Needle Roller Bearing with Hole 15.875x20.638x19.05mm I got mine from the seller named cardiff-deals https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202541737100

    Cool. I'm getting them blinged up a bit at the same time, and this fella is doing the whole thing on all 4 for about £100-120 depending on how much the kits cost him
  24. dr_broon
    Bit of info though... Found out this week that Brembo do refurbed standard calipers for our civics.... Prices about normal.
  25. dr_broon
    Well, it seems that the bearings might not always be replaced with bearings when refurbished... Think that a plastic sleeve might be a common thing. Could be why I've had umpteen rear calipers over the years. I'm hopeful about these bearings though.
