Lovely interior.

You can't hear it over the noises she makes sitting on top of it.

i thought about colour coding it to my wheels, but then i played the safe ball with matt black Bronze headlights.

I'd say it's ps fluid mate as it looks like the ps bottle has been relocated. As Tom said before you commit to a dc2 try an mb6 or mc2, cheaper to insure and easier to live with specially with nippers to lug around. Be careful with your wording, only 18 posts to go and then you can sell stuff.

See it's started already, just one more thing. Don't need a diag kit just bridge the two pin connector next to the glove box and with ign on ii see if you get any flashes and check the manual. http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=2247

Good news, glad you got it sorted and are feeling the benefits.

Well spotted, vtec relies on many factors, throttle position is one of them.

Aaarrrgghh, I'm going mad here. Rover V8.

I've found this, might be some help. VTEC Troubleshooting Ok, I have noticed ALOT of people recently asking about why their Vtec isn't working. I'm just going to do some of the basic steps in checking to see why the heck Vtec isn't working. 1: Oil level, it has got to be FULL. I'm talking at the upper mark on the dipstick. 2: Solenoid, Ok this is a 2 part fix. A: Take a wire (any wire) disconnect the grey plug on the vtec solenoid and touch the wire to the pos. battery terminal and the solenoid side of the grey 1 pin connector. there should be an audible click from the solenoid. B: If A checks out, remove the solenoid and clean the filter screen. (self explanatory) 3: Speed, the car must be going over 10 mph so the Speedo must be working. That means the VSS has to be working. Vtec is temperamental isn't it? 4: More oil, check the oil pan. If its dented POUND IT OUT! This is why mine wasn't working. The pan was dented in far enough to hit the oil pickup for the pump to cause a low-pressure situation in the head, no pressure no VTEC plus eventually no engine. 5: ECU Swap out to another ECU that you KNOW Vtec works on. 6: Car must be at I believe its 80 degrees or higher so let car get to a normal operating temperature. 7: If none of the above work, you might want to pull the solenoid off the head, remove the solenoids filter and verify the piston moves freely. That is the basic troubleshooting procedures for it. If I missed anything or got anything wrong, let me know and I will change the info. If you go through all this and it still doesn't work its oil pressure (the pump) or wiring related. So check all the wires for Vtec. That is it I hope it helps some people.

Good times.

Damn, that sucks, glad you're all ok though.

So are the atr style twin cans a clue. H22.

Looks like a fairly solid car apart from the problems you've described, wish list will probably grow once you start looking at some of the others on here. Is it throwing any codes for the abs problem.

Nice. No axle stands though.

No worries mate. 1"£££$££"!!

Plenty for you to do there.

x2 that carbon cowl is tasty and that's a serious amount of detailing product.

I think it's scicilian red mate r500p

It's such a shame what happened to her, all the more credit to you for not giving up. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Wow, that's some serious ocd mate, I didn't think your rocker was that old.

x3 many congratulations and the spec sheet is immense.

Oh Nick I promise you it will be worth the wait As Dave says, she needs her own thread.
