  1. I have in fact experienced something very similar on the fat five vti alloys for the mb6/mc2. Balancing weights sitting on the inside of the rim would very lightly skim the caliper, but that was only when one weight was stuck on top of the other. There's not a lot of room with 15" wheels over the front calipers on these cars, just enough to get a strip of weights. I've been thinking of using 15" Honda Accord alloys on this car but my main concern is always whether they would fit over the callipers. I've been too lazy to try and find out.
  2. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ now thats a good uncivilised look....
  3. you'll be the new mack daddy in this pimp mobile, 250 horses yes please, good choice. would be interesting when a 1.8 vti pulls up next to you... from one extreme MB6 to the other 9-5 , even with 250bhp still looks like a very civilized car
  4. some really sexy stuff going on here.... theres another thread getting together some interest in hiring an airfield or a track for the Civic5 owners, you should come, then we could all drool at this in shock and awe viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11821
  5. great mod, a lot of us will be looking into this for the M's, those cupholders in the armrest aren't easy to come by this on the other hand. Completely innovative mod. Whoever gets rounds to this next how to please
  6. nice car matthew, body on the car looks mint. i'd hunt for mgzs shocks and honda civic lowering springs depending on how low you want to go, but a really inexpensive way to go is using the MGZS shocks and springs, although i'd advise on different springs at the front as those one's will make the car sit higher than the back as they're designed for a 2.5 engine. have a browse around the different projects here and see what kind of stance you like and head in that direction. MGZS Shocks + Springs will get you 20-25mm lower than stock Aftermarket Springs/coilovers will get you much lower than that.
  7. well done tom, representin the decks this month, ur car sure has come a long way since you first got it, true inspiration to other crazy deck owners like myself. well earned COTM - good job!!! ________________________________________________________________________ 1"£££$££"!!
  8. i jus get jealous quite easily, always see those guys in em1's, ek9's, dc2's with popping exhuasts not loud like evo's or skylines but the odd fart makes me think "evil inside", and i want some of that.....
  9. thats encouraging, with cat or without... and another Q (let me know if i get annoying i think im buzzing today, what on i dont know?) Does your system pop when u let go of the throttle or bouncing redline since the 4-1??? ive got loud right now, had a few snaps, dont want any cackle but REALLY WANT POPPP (and some ponies)

  11. Nail on the head! I used a 4-1 mani as i was doing alot of quarter mile racing so high revs but a 4-2-1 would be better for some B and A road bashing, as said sports cat if you can afford it and arnt very handy with the spanners, or decat if you know your friendly MOT tester. ^ wouldnt buy a packet of buttons from him as other members will agree!!!!! O and to the snake on here that runs back to scott telling tales grow the f**k up! Its My oppinion which im aloud to have, funny how so many others share it!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350562722174?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 £300 is bit of a stretch atm, theres this Japspeed 4 into 1, anyone have reviews on this , for £90 sounds like a bargain... is it a case of you pay for what you get which in most cases is. I need to upgrade or weld the stock system by easter.... but budget is tight as fook... bad days... dreams>budget
  12. +1 ...x3 cage looks awesome, pedal box looks like it might take a while gettin used to... liking the thread updates keep them coming. I agree with Matt on the Champ White, one of the best looking colours on the decks i've seen was someone at the ring in a Pirates Black with dark grey dc2 wheels, but i think the whole body shape and vti's kit sticks out better in silver. Dave, are you going to be gettin the underbody boarded up for the aerodynamics, i think that would be a sweet addition to the project, rear diffuser would look hot, and also serve a purpose - increase emm.... stability
  13. having the right set of wheels to me means everything, if you can't beat stock then stick to stock cos you can't beat it. Back when i got my car the first thing I did was refurb the wheels to a dark grey and it satisfied the mod craving, and kept to OEM are the volvo rims just as light as the vti one's you have already, i defo'z think they'd look nice and are they 16s you're going for?
  14. yepp feeling a bit "do-lally" every now and then
  15. used to have one of those metal cones on my 95' corolla 1.3, the engine sounded like a monster when you put your foot down, but the thing is they don't really filter the air so potentially dust particles etc are getting sucked into your engine meaning increased engine wear and more frequent service intervals. sound is amazing cant deny it... is that a metal filter or does it have some sort of cotton filter inside? i've seen the thread already such a muppet sometimes, really bad short term memory cheers
  16. yep they do 135+mph on closed roads all day long and thats with 160k on the clock with std intake, defos' in need of some good servicing cos that doesn't sound like a B18 have u got any pics of the newly acquired MC2? get a project thread on the go...
  17. And the extra turn in they provide extra turning circle, i'll have me some of that... i'd say theres a quite a demand building up for these forks... where can we get em' ? No, the car turns in quicker Noodles is your man, although I thought I had the last pair, ever sharing is caring...
  18. wicked civic, first white mb6 ive come across so far, and possibly the only VTI-S in white, i think they only came in pirates black
  19. Hey everyone, I just want to gather some info on what the views are on exhaust systems set ups, what you have, what do you think is the best and why? This may have been done a few times but just to refresh and let people bring their thoughts forward. Pro's and Con's, what to avoid and what works best in terms of money well spent. Since we can break down the system into four different components, we can post from the following options on the poll; 1. Manifold ( Stock / 4into1 / 4into2into1 ) 2. Cat ( Stock / Sports / De-cat ) 3. Mid Section ( Stock / Custom Stainless Steel / Aftermarket ) 4. BackBox ( Stock / Aftermarket / Custom )
  20. really? on what car, can't find the photies
  21. Question for jamesmyson @james i've heard if your in ireland and the police try to pull you over you can make a run for the NI border, is this true? (Im a maniac these are the thoughts that go round in my head.... too much NFS tbh... I don't like pulling over for the flashy lights )
  22. @maxposer, do u mean at the top of the rear screen? maybe you try an ep3 spoiler maybe it could be customised to fit, im not sure how it's mounted, i've always wanted to try and get one of those for the aerodeck, really think it would look smart. but an idea more suited for the mb6 If you're talking about adding a lip/ spoiler at the top of the rear screen you could always get those diffuser fins build them on a plate and to put at the top of the rear screen would give it an awesome look, similar to those seen on evo 7,8,9's... and i think i've seen these on a few customized bmw e39 m5's...
  23. oh bummer, doesn't sound good. hope you get it sorted quicktime, i'm not sure but i think the police can give you a ticket for dazzling other drivers and for faulty brake lights.
