  1. Thanks for the tip, wrapping mine tomorrow when i'm stuck in the office all day! Check delasoul's write up with pics in here:http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=272 thats my nights reading sorted then got it up on the ramps tomorrow to have a quick gander at whats underneath and everything and to check the rear ARB points as i want one now
  2. cheers the guide for the lights is here mate viewtopic.php?f=87&t=589 and which strut brace? the OEM one i got from the scrappy?
  3. went for a bit of a cruise before work this evening with my mate, mainly to check his car was alright and ended up at a nice spot a few of the piccies i took
  4. Least he'd be warm haha well it will be an interesting experiance trying to wrap it!! ye he said it was like welded in there :S took me an afternoon and night of soaking it in about half a big can of WD-40 and it came out like a glove!!!! it cost me 90 in the end as i didn't actually have any more money on me :/ i know i want to, and my mate wants me to, but im not going to for the time being, i want to leave it a few years till my insurance goes down a bit, plus i haven't actually got any space at home to keep a spare engine and the parents would go mad!!! Should have seen the look mine had when I was just going out to see a mate and came back with a cylinder head! Loving the JDM lights, really must pull my finger out and do mine! Did you go for twin fogs or just left it at one? Mani should sound good once it's on! left it standard one, my mate was quite stoned by the end of it and it was very hot when we finally got round to it. it has completely changed the back of the car its un real!! i actually love it, can't believe its taken me this long to do it!! let me know how yours goes tom!! be you'll do a better job than me. ye i'll have a look at an adjustable De-cat actually, thats a brilliant idea!, do they adjust by length and twist?
  5. will do is it easy to do? well i'm wrapping it anyway so doesn't really matter
  6. right update time, finally got around to doing the JDM rear light MOD and loving it! just a quick snap of it at work bought myself a new exhaust manifold, DC sports 4-2-1. i got it shot blasted today at work to get all of the grime and surface rust off ready for wrapping!! will get a picture of it shot blasted when i get the chance. so my weekend is now going to consist of going to a party getting wasted then trying to wrap my manifold :/ it could be a fun and long weekend in need of a de-cat pipe now, so if anyone knows any for cheap???
  7. great bargain man!! i need to search around for bargains like this
  8. i know i want to, and my mate wants me to, but im not going to for the time being, i want to leave it a few years till my insurance goes down a bit, plus i haven't actually got any space at home to keep a spare engine and the parents would go mad!!!
  9. another update: went down to the local scrappy with my mate as he wanted a few parts for his car. and they had just got in a civic aerodeck was a bit sad at first when i saw it, but it is the only one i've seen around here at a scrappy, but i looked again and it was a VTI so here's the goodies i got from it i pinched the front strut brace off it aswel cos i thought i could run it next to mine, but as mine is a 3-point brace, is there any need?? but got that lot for a bargain price of £25 was a very happy chappy. the fog lights need refurbing so i'll get on to doing that at some point in the future when i kind of know how to refurb them, i'll get some close up's of them tomorrow hopefully. got the extra rear light as i thought it was that side that had the marks on but turns out it wasn't :S so i've got a spare left brake light now no holders though. i've now got access to it when there open as not many people will be after aerodeck parts, its silver with half leather interior.
  10. cheers, but ye lower on the front i still want to go lower but it's just impractical for anywhere i go
  11. umm hardly anything with those wheels, there too wide and will hit the arch liner, but i recon another 10mm at least
  12. i got some Meister R coilovers, and if anything the back will be highered. but will keep them the same height and get them cambered
  13. right i haven't posted in a while so time to do a small update. i got a little bored and had a play with the suspension so the front is now lower i now scrape every time i get on and off my drive, plus when cornering hard-ish the inner arch scrape and the lip i think :/ but its all fun at the end of the day as i said it's only a small update. next on my list are some rear camber arms which i want to order as soon as possible
  14. I didn't know that the girls would be there too! Next time you got to come! yes i would love to see how much mine is actually putting out aswel. and get acquainted with the girls..... oh and everyone else
  15. love the colour and its very clean
  16. liking it more and more now
