Mine didn't work when i bought the car, so had a look on ebay to find 1 being broken, then paid for the key fobs and reciever unit (bobble near interior light) changed the lot and hey presto
was only £5 for the lot as i remember

let us know how you get on mate, always good to know peoples experiences when it comes to stuff like this

bit of a diy job but putting it on a 4 post ramp and running it in gear with sand paper sounds like my plan for monday...
several different grades of paper and a bit of metal polish should be grand... lets see how it turns out...
how did you get on?

Do the evo seats give you a high seating position like the ep3 seats?

and if you cant fix it, your not hitting it hard enough!

put rear seats down then there's 1 clip holding carpet down at each side - it's fairly obvious
then just peel carpet back and hey presto.
can be quite fun positioning it back mind

Just had a bit of a result with the exhaust...
was watching one on egay that didn't sell so offered the guy £25 which he took as he was clearing out his sons stuff, turned up to collect it and have bagged myself a hks hi power system with straight through pipe and he even threw in a standard mani and a fuel pressure regulator.
money well spent

does anyone have one of these fitted?
if so, where can i get one, and would you recommend one?

Thought I'd start a little project thread for my VTiS
At first there was no need as I planned to keep her original, but now I've been bitten and there will be a few changes coming in the not so distant future.
As I got her:
after full zs180 setup including rear arb
now handles as it should have done but there is still a bit of an arch gap...
bought these for a pinch but as they've been sat around a while will require new tyres, and they're quite far down the list.
ultra RARE kosei rims, should fill the arches a little more, but may still end up with a set of lowering springs at some point
these also need new allen key heads as they were taken off by previous owner with a view to replacing, but now i'm not sure where to get new ones
She's also been treated to a full service - ALL fluids, filters, belts and ignition components, cup holder, heater matrix, new parcel shelf.
this month should see:
zs grey door cards or standard ones re-trimmed in alcantara, just waiting on a sample of the fabric.
rocker cover repainted
tegiwa vtec solenoid cover
zs wind deflectors
exhaust
induction kit
my fogs returned from being reconditioned
new headlights as mine are crazed and yellow'd
more pics to follow with progress

ok, just to add a little something extra to the mix, swapped my suspension over the weekend, directly off of a zs180.
the rear springs had no markings, where as the fronts had blue, orange and a little bit of white paint.
ride is so much firmer with virtually no body roll, and it corners like it should have done in the first place.
zs is now wearing civic setup and looks hilarious.

FIXED!
on closer inspection, there are some witness marks on the cable/ metal loop assembly, that should line up with marks on the car, the whole lot had been pushed down, so a few technical adjustment with a hammer and hey presto. fully functioning boot!
-
will go and have a look at mine and report back
-
its a common rover/honda thing mate, the bumpers do sag there after time. just replace the screw clips behind the rear wheels with a 10mm nut bolt and washers, make sure the bumpers sat on the white hangers as well.

had a little play with it earlier and the mechanism seems to work fine, presses round no problem with a key and the lever on the side allows it to spring back no problem, will have a go anyway, can't do any harm
-
Didn't know where else to put it so it's going in here.
Bit of a strange one but my boot won't shut, and lock without a great deal of unnecessary force. I have to literally throw it down with both hand to get it to lock in place, but when i do, it won't then open on the key, only by pulling, quite hard on the boot release lever.
there's nothing i can see thats out of place, it's just happened overnight, anyone any ideas or suggestions?

could you not have done anything with the rails to get them to sit lower?
how tall are you out of interest?
-
they don't look like they're particularly high?
-
or you must be looking at the new fn2's or the dc5 recaro's?
old ep3 seats rarely go for over £150...
-
every days a school day!
-
what you mean simpo? expensive?
-
and i only drive her every few days, probably do 20 miles a week max...
-
would love a set of those, just can't justify the £!
Cols VTiS - has now been replaced!
in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC

Sorry to say the civic has now been sold - an the new owner is putting his stamp on it already.
Didn't really want to sell her, but my mrs step dad decided to part ways with his mr2...
He looked for quite a while before he settled on this rev 5 and i asked for 1st refusal if ever he sold it
it really is immaculate:
so thanks to everyone to has given advise and helped out along the way - i'm off to give her a wash and polish
