depends on the kit. The mb6 will sit low at the back and they dont go through the top mounts on the front with enough thread left over
-
fit yes but they are a compromise
-
you have to push down the lower arm to allow you to get the fork part off the arm
-
hondas are raspy when you fit an aftermarket exhaust on them. Most i've heard which aren't have had full custom built systems deisgned for a specific sound.
De-cat's are raspy on any car so add the two together and its going to be very raspy
-
i guess its a matter of personal opinion. I think the brakes in my current and my first mb6 were awful but i spend all day driving a 61 plate vw caddy which stops like you wouldnt believe
-
it will sit lower at the back due to the dampers and springs designed for less weight. Also you wont have much thread through the top mount, you will be right on the limit.
I'd go for MB ones personaly
-
you might need to upgrade the master cylinder too as the oem on on the mb6 is awful and not powerful enough for the car
-
I bought some from Honda, £14 a pair so about the same as ebay lol
The oem bushes are 17mm (not 18mm as people say) compared to the ek4's 16mm and they are much wider than ek4 bushes. I only say this as thats what they guy sent me
-
They're really good for Ministry of Sound speakers. They used to be hooked up to the headunit but they are now connected to a 400w Pioneer amp. No need for a sub
you say that but it wont be long
-
As above, MB headlights are the same across the board, MA ones are slightly different I think?
ma ones are different. Very slightly but they dont line up with the bonnet/wing properly. Easy to tell apart, MB ones have a pointed end (bit towards the grill) and the MA ones are much more rounded
-
An alarm is only as good as the person who installed it.
My 650mk2 has been wriggled with problems but its because the fitted (chap called ken from essex, used to run an install business but has given it up now) was an incompetent fool and although knew what he was doing didnt give two s**ts about my car.
Don't DIY the alarm imo, get a pro to do it. They are very complex and are not colour coded so you really have to know what you are doing. Especially a cat 1 like the 650mk2 or the AI606
Price wise, dont pay anything less than £350-£400 for it with fitting. Anything less and they will be cutting corners. Minimum installation time should be around 4hrs
-
yes but you will find the back will sit a little low as the ek suspension is designed for a lighter car, especialy at the back.
Also, my front dampers dont have much thread coming through the turret, possibly the ek dampers aren't really long enough
-
I did yea.
The seller is very helpful though. Within an hour of my contacting him last night I had a reply and a refund. He also is asking about the specific details so he can try and source me some and will send them FOC
We measured my bushes and they are 18mm diameter (should be, more like 21 right now lol) and 34mm total width. If anyone has the other dimensions of it that would be a great help
-
Well, I bought a set off ebay advertised as fitting the mb6 but they dont. They are 16mm and dont fit round the arb. Also are too narrow for the bracket so the search is back on.
Rare for ebay the seller is refunding me asap and will be updating his selling information
-
The wheels look the same as early VTI-S wheels. Best way to check is take them off and on the inside rim it should have Honda stamped.
If not then they are just normal Speedline Chrono's
-
Have you thought of Speedline Chrono's but 16"?
-
sway bar is arb & swing arm trailing arm ?
did some searching and its the trailing arm bush. My mate said it was a pain to change and after seeing the vids on youtube I can imagine it could be lol
I've found these which should fit the car;
-
yea, i cant afford to get an mg arb atm. I'll keep hunting, im sure that seller does do them for the mb6. just a matter of finding it now.
I've also been told the rear sway bar, or is it swing arm? bushes are on their way out too
-
they have been "sorted" so will go through the mot untill I get replacement ones. The bush has stretched so the hole isnt 18mm anymore. The arb has been wrapped so the bush now sits tight and its worked, the knocking has gone lol
I'll be getting some replacement ones asap though. So ones like this will be ok?
-
the standard speakers are 6" but the best thing to do is buy a cheap cut off from by the saw at B&Q and make 2 18mm thick speaker rings to allow for 6.5" speakers.
-
from what ive seen then most are the same kind of shape then?
atm its been "bodged" so it will go thru the MOT. The knocking noise I had put down to my false floor in the boot has gone, anoyed with my self now i know it was the bushes.
No point in getting anything fancy so bog standard ones look like they will do
-
My MB6 failed its MOT today
Along with Steering rack gator and a tiny bit of welding (took about 10 minutes for the mechanic to do the welding so tiny!) it needs the rear anti-roll bar bushes replacing.
Where is the best place to get them?
Looking online places like camskill and euro car parts dont have them, where else would stock them?
-
Out of interest how much have you guys been paying for your lines?
I recently for a single braided hose for my passenger rear (couldnt get oem ones anyware!). Had it custom made by Merlin motorsport at Castle combe whilst I was there (took about 20 minutes) and cost £30, thats less than I was gonna be charged for a normal line lol
-
the limiter is about 8400 anyway so it will be fine
Alarm & immobiliser
in Electrical
Posted
woah, paragraphs might help there chap lol
First of all, do you know anything about alarms? Removing a factory fitted alarm wont be that simple I dont expect.
Remember also, if you fit the toad alarm it can't be claimed as an alarm on insurance.
They will be wired into the ignition, immobiliser (the MB6 has a cat 2 immobiliser as standard) and all the door, boot and bonnet sensors.
You will have a brain box also which might be wired into the cars ecu, this will need to be removed aswell. I guess you didnt disconnect it?
