spoiler i got from a member off of here, took me ages to find though!! exhaust i had custom made from a company called infinity, very good place and coilovers i got from jerrick at meister, you might still be able to get money off as he normally does discount from members on here. it will be in the traders section on the forum

More economical at high revs with or without VTEC

exactly how i see it, not bothered about mpg anymore, if i get a good run i egt a good run, but the amount of short ish journeys i do i might aswel have some fun on the way -
thats cool, i've seen people that have done it on civic life. no problem i had a little bit of trouble as the hoses actually take a different route to the normal hoses

right update time. had a great time at japfest especially being able to represent civic5 so first all of my parts finally came for the grill. it took me nearly 7 hours at work to get it all together, cutting off a little of the mesh at a time. then came the fitting of the new badge which didn't take too long which i was pleased with. the background of it needs to be painted black when i get the chance. i also bought some hammerite and painted my calipers which im really pleased how well they came up before: After: i also bought some orange dual filament bulbs for the USDM mod which i have previously done. here's the bulbs. i can't really get a good picture of them on as my phone doens't like all the light and blurrs it, but here's the best one i've got so far more to come soon

ha ha it really makes a difference! i think there only about 140 off egay which isn't bad for a 3 point strut brace
-
getting all excited now for japfest braided hoses are finally on after a little set back, my parts have finally come through the post!! so hopefully i'll have time to fit them ready for japfest, and clean the car inside and out!! christ I'm guna have to be on something tomorrow to keep me awake all day to get it all done!! hopefully pictures to follow if i get them fitted
-
so ye me and my mate was thinking, how hard would it be to drop a H22a engine in an Aerodeck?? anyone know of anyone that has done it? attempted it? or if it has been done before?. reading up on the net it seems like you have to cut and weld a couple of bits. whats everyones opinion??
-
a quick update: hoses turned up early this morning, super fast delivery to the shop considering he ordered them at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. here is the part number for anyone wishing to purchase some and here is my stunning courtesy car, it handles like no other car does, pedals are close together for braking and acceleration at the same time if ever you need it. and it also seems to be on rally suspension so takes every bump LIKE A BOSS
-
when they come i'll get the part number for you just a small update here, i had to change the drivers side indicator light back to the original holder so i could put the old bulb in for the MOT, and well my mates decided to help me and managed to give the engine a clean, not a proper job as it takes Bloody ages!!! soooo much crap in there its unreal!! fit my new induction kit which i bought from Aaron (Weaver88) the car sounds much nicer all the way up the rev counter unlike it was when i had the standard panel filter. it is more responsive and feels like it has a little more power. anyway here is the ummm cleanish....... engine bay with the new induction kit on. sorry its a bit dark it was taken just as i got to work Cheers dude Bay looking much better now, even if it's not 100% cheers it looks loads better than it was though

not 100% but I think both my braces was off a EK civic, it just needed a little ye brace would probably be off the EK as its the same kinda shape, and the point to point distance is virtually the same, mine was from an EK so all gravy
-
ye i was pretty pleased it wasn't anything major!! brake line is getting done tuesday, and i've hopefully got some Goodridge Braided hoses on order tuesday when i go and see the bloke. me and my mate gave my car a service today, so spark plugs, oil, oil filter, magnetic sump plug and air filter she runs a lot nicer now!! just need a proper induction kit though. its been an expensive weekend so far!! £150 on 2 Tyres £40 on MOT test £30 ish for the brakes on tuesday £36 for oil £22 for spark plugs £8 for air filter £9 for oil filter £7 for magnetic sump plug. so I'm pretty much skint now which aint good!!

so car failed the MOT front offside brake hose has been rubbing, drivers side headlight is too high and indicators are wrong colour, thats all which I'm impressed with, just annoying, so braided hoses will be going on very soon
