  1. Add above I'd at least get a quote for getting it sorted. With it being an MB6, you can look for replacement / repair panels for mgzs and rover 400 as well. Worst case, don't scrap it... Sell it as spares / repair... Engine alone will be worth more than you'd probably get from a scrappie #savethathonda
  2. Mrs_Broon dug out these of photos of tubs the other day... Pre lowering, and pre civic 5.... Think it's not long after I got her and then the new wheels.
  3. Okay, looks like the old links have gone. Most of the leds were t5 I think, but there's some different sizes in there as well.
  4. Somewhere in my project thread it will have it but there's a lot to wade through. If you have a look at 10000rpm's aerodeck thread, I'm sure that I posted links to a couple of how to's there...
  5. Welcome along buddy. Nice low miler that you've got there. I've always used standard ngk plugs in mine as well... Never had any issues and cheap enough to change regularly
  6. Want to give the old girl (the deck that is) a bit of a health check, and refresh the suspension and bodywork, make sure that the engine's still tickety boo, see if I can get the p28 socket fixed, change my air intake a bit for a smooth pipe, and maybe get the intake mani polished and port matched to the dc2 throttle body. Oh, and get the standard winter alloys refurbed coz they are shocking! Got to have goals
  7. Looks clinical in that engine bay chief
  8. No worries - have you got the manual from the downloads section to check against?
  9. There's a method to check the lsd in the service manual - something like jack the front of the car up, and with the engine off and the car in gear (first?) rotate one wheel by hand, and the other should turn the opposite way. Be worth double checking that I've got that all right, but from memory it's something along those lines.
  10. welcome back buddy! Pleased that you got yourself another deck.

    I can say that it's not long enough for a door (for the house). If it wasn't so icy outside I'd go out and measure it.
  12. One of the best things I did was get rid of the tow bar mine had when I got it. Was so heavy and hanging out over the back of the rear axle did nowt for handling

  14. So, today I installed a remapped ecu, courtesy of littlebo and ukcl9 off type accord. Have to say that it was worth every penny, as it's totally transformed the car. Red line used to be just over 7k, with vtec only kicking in at 6k... Pretty pointless really. Also, it had terrible throttle lag because of the drive by wire system thinking it knew better than your right foot. Now vtec comes in nice and smooth from 4.5k, red lines a bit higher, 1:1 ratio on the throttle, and more usable power (and k24 torque) throughout the revs. Really pleased that I've went for it, and Mrs B loves it too... She's buzzing off blowing away a boy racer today without dropping down to 2nd out of a roundabout. Nearly as fast as the deck
  15. Check that the pressures are both okay... I've had this before and thought that there was something wrong but was just pressures. Seems to affect some tyres more than others... My winter tyres don't do it and their pressures can be all over the place sometimes due to being in my old standard rims.
