    If you've got rusty brake dust on your wheels and you don't mind working with something that smells like old ladies' perm juice, then iron-x is the stuff for you

    so, summer is here (shut up, course it is) so it's time to ditch those winter tyres, which means trying to do something about the God awful rusting on my proper wheels. Some might remember the problems I had trying to clean off rusty brake dust.. Tried everything, scrubbing, t-cut, bilberry... All sorts to no avail. A bit of a search online led me to something called iron-x.... Omg.. Works wonders! Is a clear liquid that you spray on, and then turns the rusty crap to purple, which then washes off.. One wheel took a few applications, and cleaned them all with bilberry at the end, but it properly sorted them out. Time for pics.. Dirty purple rusty juice... Some bits I'd missed with the first scrubbing... It was all like that at first.. Some more bits missed on the worst wheel... Gave them a treatment with some rim wax when it was all done... Feeling good Here's what I used today.. Bilberry is in the spray bottle also, wheels changed in record time of 20 mins... under pressure for tea Pleased to say that all is nice and shiny again with no dodgy rust stuck in the laquer. Will take an on car pic tomorrow

    Weeny update... Had a six monthly service, but with the added bonus of a k&n for the teg air box, and, courtesy of @10000rpm an aluminium radiator, slim fan and silicon hoses to sort out my coolant loss and to add some new part goodness Also got a cheapo eBay intake tube to use as a feed for the air box instead of the temporary flexi bog waste pipe. I've left part of the bog pipe in situ to act as a tunnel / shroud to try and protect it from wetness, as I've seen the mugen one has a shield.

    I had to get my sill welded last mot as well. White decks are fairly rare... Especially vti ones. Hope you manage to save her

    That's quality! So is that with the standard springs and koni shocks? If so what's it like? I've got them with eibach springs and always wondered what they'd be like with standard springs.

    It'll be a shame to see the accord go... You've got it looking sweet (and it shifts too!). Totally bitten by the dirty diesel bug now though ey?

    Still my dream mod... Good to see Dave getting some new part love Those intakes are supposed to be tip top! Remember @johngreen537 getting one for his.

    how fucking brazen is that! Broad daylight and just looking up at the window like nowt's the matter.

    That sunroof bung looks tip top! Nice to see the DOHC stickers back on her as well
  12. dr_broon
    Making good progress chief!
  13. dr_broon
    Looks really smart
  14. dr_broon
    Love it

    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

    Looks fookin high! And not as long... And the fog lights worked

    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.
  18. dr_broon
    Wow. They look sweet.
  19. dr_broon
    spot on!
  20. dr_broon
    Oooooh.. New eyes Looking ace!

    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.
  22. dr_broon
    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...

    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

    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

    Looks clinical in that engine bay chief
