^^ not yet its next on the list then Momo tried a bit of high speed just now and caught 2 police cars up on an A road they were doing 70mph don't want to be doing that too often
-
well it's been a busy few day's for the 'deck, when i got kink's mirror's all a was gonna do i swap the internal's over and offer the BP case's up for offer. unfortunaly, the new mirror's put the paint on mine to shame so mine have been stripped for paint and i'm now rocking PB mirror's on the deck. also managed to sort the driver's seat out aswell, 2 bolt's on the LH rail worked loose and allowed the seat base to move around. also managed to wash and vax the car out aswell. also have started to plot my next move with the vtis kit....

didn't use extended stud's as there is plenty of stud left for the nut
-
when i've got the genuine 96 spec ITR wheel's on i have to run 3mm spacer's on the front, their not universal one's they were made for the stud diamiter so are a realy good fit. not had no issue's you only tend to find you have issue's when you combine a very large spacer (talking 10mm +) and aftermarket wheel's with the plastic spigot ring. the spigot ring support's the weight of the car not the wheel stud's as they can break.

you've got to think how long did the O.E one fitted from the factory last 7/8 year's over the every 2/3 year's out of the patten part that garage's often fit when they fail the MOT
-
yeah they'll fit.
-
or should it be pumping ally...

nice to hear from you as well, i still love owning her, and apart from the mot, mirror's and slow starting it's been faultless. as for the center cap's if i was gonna change the wheel colour i'd source more center cap's as we know what there worth.....
-
i look in to it in the new year..... as for the mirror, the cable tie didn't last long as some kind soul folded the mirror in for me snapping the cable tie, so now eletrical tape is keeping it in place.....
-
only just seen this, when i had a shaft let go on the mb1, i put a blue point replacement on it and never had an issue with it, it didn't have a rot inducing balancer on it either.
-
on the other hand, they do look good, but i need to consider the centercap's that are genuine dc2 in silver and are quite rare....
-
cheer's jake, don't mind the about the scratch's, as the internals' are what i need. you'll have a PM shortly about it. tom, i don't think bronze wheel's would suit a silver car. i think i am gonna go for silver, but would consider other idea's from people.

first of all, it wasn't hit, it was metal fatigue, not sure is anyone has stripped a door mirror down but it's quite easy to do. the folding mechinism has like a valve spring and a cap that cut's in to the the ally chassis of the mirror holding it in place, that cap has weakend and sprang off, it took a vice and 2 lambda scoket's (one's with cut out's for the wiring) to squeeze it back on, putting it back on all ok, started to bang the door card on and i heard the bang again so it's now got a cable tie holding it in place (ghetto or what ) anyway i've been meaning to have a look at the mirror as the heated bit isn't working, and that's down to it having a replacement mirror at some point in it's life, and the the wire's to the heated element are rotton as well. also the spring on the passenger side is also weak aswell krzys and unicycingtom, yeah know the feeling, it was a oh $hit moment WTF was that. kink43, what do you want for them as i do need some quickly, i take it their heated and electric the mirror and base plate's are all ok, just need the internal's are needed although they are going to be a swine to do as mirror motor's seem to be hard wired to the loom and the plug won't fit through the mirror either.. the other thing i need to decide on is what color to paint the wheel's. any idea's i'm thinking of oem silver like this \/ not sure if it help's but the vtis kit is going black, not sure if it's gonna be PB (rear skirt and side skirt are already PB), NHB, matt black, or gloss black. the mid boot spoiler is going silver though
-
my mb1 ls had a tray under the passenger seat, and my currant vti aerodeck has one under the passenger seat aswell.
-
got a wierd on for you all, parked up the car up waiting for a gap in the traffic to get out, and there was this al mighty bang, no damage to the car so thought i was some one eles's car that had been hit, so folded the drivers' mirror in to find it's gone really floppy, there's no ristiance to folding it what's so ever, has anyone had this happen to them, gonna try to strip it tommorow.

Mr Brown's Project MB3- Front End Repair Underway
philgor replied to Mr Brown's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
fooking hell, mr brown, i feel so sorry for you, i thought these to had taken my project thread of course, then i come in here.... -
oy you lot, you've got your own spam thread with out spaming mine up.... and anyway, i've got dc2 for mine.... and as for pic's, they will come....
-
sorry knight, still not got those pic's , but did get a chance to fit one of my stash of bit to go on.... the short shifter, what a pain in the A$$ to fit, that damn exhaust in the way, didn't get any pic's as i was pushed for time again. it's wierd getting used to it, the best way to described it is from going from an old transit, to an mx5, it feel's so much tighter and i can't wait to try it on the way home. only thing is is that i need to get a extention for the short shifter as it's a bit to low for my liking...... so i'm gonna have a look for extension's... think something like this.. something different i think....

Paul's MB6 VTi (This Is It! The End Has Come! :( ,,,)
philgor replied to knight's topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
That's shocking, is that, shame on you. Nice doors though eh, good work. Car not been cleaned for 2.5 months Must have done mine 4 or 5 times in that time, not that I'm obsessive or anything. same here done about 2k since i last washed it and about 3k since the polish touched it.... -
just looking through this topic, and it seem's that the aerodeck's are the mile muncher's with quite high mile's on the clock, but driving style wise, quite an easy life....(well not now we own some of them..... )
