  1. Then, you'll go from being slightly scared to mildly amused and find yourself joining in and then mortally terrified.
  2. Iirc the T28 is a very usable turbo, spools up pretty quickly and runs a decent amount of boost. I ran a hybrid T2/25 on my R5, spooled from 1500rpm and ran 18-22psi.
  3. With a few choice mods DaveMB2 has made nearly 130bhp from his MB3 and still gets 40+mpg. Well worth doing and saving the insurance, tax, fuel costs. And with a nice set of wheels and suspension set up you'll be on a winner.
  4. It would be like losing a fight with Louie Spence.
  5. Good wrapping bud, I didn't get itchy when I did mine, I reckon you must've been doing it wrong Tom.
  6. Yeah, the handling isn't exactly inspiring as standard. A rear anti roll bar helps, either an MB6 one or the thicker mgzs 180 bar. Mgzs shocks and springs are a brilliant upgrade for not much money and give a slight lowering too. There seems to be no definitive answer to exactly which zs spring shock combo is right for which car. Some people have had problems with the front sitting too high due to the engine weight difference, particularly on the lower M's. My opinion is: MGZS 180 shocks (as these are better than all the others) and either 120 springs or eibach springs.
  7. As Krzys said mine isn't silly low but it is quite low (about 75mm at the front, 65mm at the rear) but if you have a look at Dave's (Boss Dave), his is on meister's too and only lowered by around an inch all round. http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/523-re-daves-mb6-vti-build-up-aka-ruby-update-15813/page-7
  8. Headliner is not too difficult to sort, I've just swapped mine for a newer one, but you can whip it out and re-glue it or I was speaking to someone last night who said the guy who bought his old MA8 took it out stripped off the material and the glue and foamy s**t underneath and sprayed it black and it looks "awesome" apparently.
  9. Awesome spec list and very tastefully modified too. As above, coilovers would be a good next job, I've recently gone from eibach springs on mgzs shocks to meister r's and the difference is amazing.
  10. Nice, don't worry about the cam cover, stick a couple of pics up anyway.
  11. He'll make one up the tradesmens when your not looking.
  12. I assume most of the image links got lost in the forum changeover, so starting a new one might not be such a bad idea. Love this by the way.
  13. Bit of a dilemma really, don't lose interest, go and take it out for a blat.
