Thanks Dave. I have given my email so I get updated if and when they get the shipment.
As for the silicone hoses can you guys then reccomend some? I don't need the whole kit just top and bottom hoses and would prefer not to have to modify them to fit.
the big ones you on about?
skunk2 and mishimoto are the main ones. i have skunk2 and found they are pretty good
-
also don't go for jubilee clips for coolant hoses! you need T-bolt clamps, they provide a proper clap around the hose

That's the normal filling point. Going slow for the last half litre wasn't too bad and easy to get the level. I've seen people fill up by taking out the Speedo sensor and drive before now. It's what ever is easier for you I guess
ye man i know it says to fill up from there, just find it easier to fill up from the breather
Speedo sensor hole aint a bad shout either!
-
how come you filled it up from there? the gearbox i mean? i usually fill it up from the breather on top of the gearbox.
takes slightly longer but you can see the fluid come out of the filling hole a lot easier
also liking your updates mate

looking good man!

Just been planning a load of engine bay dress up stuff as well. Going to go for mainly red I think. Got some blue Spoon socks coming (cheap & cheerful to decide if I like & can't find many red ones) Oil/radiator caps, battery clamp, heat proof paint for the rocker cover writing etc. Eventually I'll take the rocker cover off as well as the exhaust heat shield and give them both a respray.
My radiator clamp/bracket is badly rusted/flaking though, anybody know where you can get a replacement for the MB's? They look different to most other Civic's but could be wrong?
i've just used normal paint for my rocker.
also s2000 EK civic rad stay will fit mate.
here's my bay
-
can tighten it up apparently from what I've been told, take out the slack
-
you can't take apart the MB6 rack, i've tried and failed, they just don't come apart without f**king it.
i've got a DC2 rack to go in mine now, which i'm yet to fit. but same fitment as MB6 and adjustable.
if you do loop the rack make sure you put a small breather pipe in between the hoses so there is less chance of the rack seizing or locking up
-
looks loads better with the colour coded handles and mirrors mate, looks a real clean car aswel!
-
gotta paint the starter aswel

cheers pal, I'm really happy with the work the powder coaters do only issue is it's a 2 week turn around! Where are you getting your new subframe bolts from out of interest?
the two main bushes in the lower arms have been changed already I'm not sure on the others. They're what I removed from the donor car, most of the bushes had been changed on that.
honda mate is where i get mine from
only asking because i have a set of arms polybushed thats up for grabs
ye mine have been 3 weeks waiting, but not too fussed on that
-
looking sweet mate! picking my subrframe, lower arms and wiper arms up from the powder coaters friday, also got my bro to make me some collars aswel!
picking my new subframe bolts up next week aswel
also have you poly bushed the lower arms?
-

thank you
yeah i can't wait to see the final result, i have to wait to receive a litlle more covering.
i had to do it myself because it's too expansive, otherwise I had to pay 320€ for the interior...and i paid 340€ for the roof.
wow that's expensive for the interior! but it's quite a bit to get out and tricky
looks good so far!

No, not just yet. Want to drive it first then look to change the LSD later
Hope so, for UK tracks I don't need a long box anymore
Bodyshop made good progress the last few days...
It'll sit there for a week or so now while he goes on holiday and then he can buff and polish the whole car and it can go for the engine install
pics don't load mate

Wheels didn't get close enough to worry about it before paint so didn't bother. By the time we do the cambers correctly it still shouldn't be an issue but he's got the car and can do it so he may as well. If the arches are warmed up first and it's done properly it won't damage the paint
fair enough mate. ye thats the usual way is to warm up the arch so the paint will mold with the metal

Slow progress at the minute. Due to crap weather, work and the gym.
More parts on the way.
I hate brake lines! Don’t want to be doing them again! Ended up replacing the whole lines front to back which is a pain in the a*s.
Got my mate to powder coat my front hardrace camber arms as they were looking tired. All new poly bushes on the front should tighten everything up.
Anyway heres some pictures.
