    the MB6  need to go into the shop for Upgrades so I need another car,that had to be a Honda.had to be a civic,had to be an Aerodeck.

    Was looking at a few Aerodeck but wanted one that was low cost to run.After reading loads of figures and adds I came across a WHITE Aerodeck just like I found the MB6,buy luck or it was meant to be.

    I got the Deck in August 2012 so i had it for over a year without touching it and in February 2014 all this happened.

    After Seeing this,I wanted to take it to the next level

  2. PASSENGERS SIDE (BIT FIDDLY)

    Follow the same steps as the drives side as the only real difference here is the fuse box.You have a small fuse box for the abs as i said i deleted mine so just removed that completely and threw it in the bin so im not sure on how to tuck that im affraid im sure you would need to extend the wires off the main fuse box to relocate it behind the wing there will be a guide on the tinterweb somewhere. Right so when youve got thloom lose and ready to.be tucked you need to again push through bulkhead and then out through the door loom again so as i said follow the previous guide. When iside the car remove the fan assembly make it so much easier and gives you a shed loda space.

    FUSE BOX/ENGINE LOOM TUCK.

    Right you need to buy som 6gauage power wire for this as you will need to extend the loom from the + on batter to the box. Losen the 3 ¹0mm bolts holding the fuse box in and split the box and you will see 4 plugs disconnect these as tjey need to go through the bulk head.

    Ollie !!,photos please lol.

  4. that is one very nice mb sure pretty much every mb owner on here is jealous.

    Had a good conversation with a friend of mines last night,he has helped me and is pushing for me to go all out in 2014,we have diceded to start with the suspension.

    Rear:new break callipers

            :powderer coat rear trailing arm

            :new LCA

            :Subframe

            :Breaker Bar

            :Refurbish Sway bar or Replace with new 24mm

            :Replace all rear suspension rubbers

     

    Front:powderer coat wish born & suspension parts

             : Replace all front suspension rubbers

             :4 port big break kit

     

    EngineBay :New Reduce pulley 

                      :finish bay tuck

                      :relocate battery to back boot

                      :reinstall original washer bottle

                      :smoothed and respray bay

                      :oil cooler

                      :new oil breather kit

                      :3 point strut brace 

  5. Not even half way there!?! What are you aiming for mate!?

    well,i can say an "EPIC BUILD" but that can mean different things to different people.

    for example the new wheels will be custom made in the USA,but may need to change the stud patten,so might have to change from 4x114.3 to 4x100 or even 5 stud.

    The there is the breaks,4 port wilwood or spoon.

    Changing every suspension rubber under the car,powder coating a few suspension part,new LCA,Subframe,Tie Bar,stabilizer arm,Sway bar link,Sway bar.

    and that is only under the car.
