    Bit of post clean photo whore Was cold first thing, but it's lush out now.

    Welcome along Patrick. That's a great looking MA8 you've got there - can't believe how fresh the red looks.

    What a great watch! If you do decide to move it on, you've got to have yourself some enjoyment out of it this summer mate.

    It's a credit to all the work you've put in mate

    Hi Steez. I've got 17s on my deck, and although I do love the look, I think that a nice light set of 16s would be a better option - especially if you're planning on going lower to avoid arch rub. Pic with the 17s.. I had my oem 15s as winter tyres, and always liked how nimble they felt when I put them on, but then like the strong contact feel from the 17s when they went back on. 16s are probably the best compromise. I always think as well that the dc2 was specced with 16s on the later models for a reason.

    BOOM! really strong numbers there mate.. Nice smooth curve as well... Gonna be even more of a beast It's that where you wanted to be?

    Some random ebay job.. Thought it was worth a punt... To be honest, the brackets that mount to the seat belt fixings had 4 holes in, and I went for the furthest ones so the brace was out the way, tucked behind people's feet, which did mean more leverage to bend the brackets. The brace itself was stiff enough. Can always quickly chuck it in on the first holes if I was going to do a track day or something. The chassis is stiff enough for normal use tbh.

    God job on the splitter mate, looks top. I bet the track day was a hoot!

    Spent a bit of time fitting some roof rails to the wagon at the weekend (after ruining the roof with the bike incident) Had to chop the trim to fit around the feet for the rails which took most of the time (and trying to straighten out the part of the trim that was damaged in 'the incident...'). Need to get some front covers as they were missing, but the rails are like hen's teeth.

    MOT day today, flew through... Even no issues on emissions... Nice Not much else to report, gave it a clean at the weekend, and fitted some proper diameter hose for the screen wash so they work properly now. I did fit a room brace (b pillar floor brace) a few weeks back, and took it back off straight away.. The brackets were flexing when I moved the brace by hand.. Not worth the inconvenience of having it in the footwell at the back. Anyway, post wash pic...

    I got a reconditioned one from ignition car parts years and years ago, and (touch wood) it's still going strong.

    I'm going to make my favourite suggestion of O2 sensor for rough running / needing to give it some revs to stop it spluttering. Have you tried changing that?
  14. dr_broon
    Great stuff mate
  15. dr_broon
    Feels like it's finally the end of a long winter mate, and getting stuff done outside doesn't seem as much of a chore - hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.
  16. dr_broon
    Mint. Going to be ready to rock by the time the warm weather comes
  17. dr_broon
    Sounds great bud - tbh I'd be happy with 215 as an upgrade Have you got her back now?
  18. dr_broon
    Nice one.. Bet that was a great feeling for it to run no problem after all that work that's gone in. Good work sir
  19. dr_broon
    Really like this angle
    Looks amazing - would be good to get a project thread started so we can find out more.
  20. dr_broon
    Ahh man, still, that all looks pretty sexual now.. And a fancy new rocker cover sets it off nice.
  21. dr_broon
    Nice man
  22. dr_broon
    All looks so clean in there ready for the new beast! Before zoomed in and saw they were dusters, I thought that those yellow details looked pretty cool.
  23. dr_broon
    Rimmerbros is good for bolts and the likes if you can't find the honda ones (much cheaper than honda as well!) I replaced loads on mine from there. Yeah, should be okay for posting vids chief

    It's a strange one. The tax checker says the same, but as it's against the reg then you'd have thought that it must be legit. Maybe with it being close to the changeover it was a result of the time taken to process the registration or something? Need someone from a car dealership

    Might be worth getting in touch with Rimmerbros.. Looks like there's a lot of variants https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID003690 Even for different wheel sizes.
