    Oh yeah, modifying has already begun... Blacked out the white parts of the rear lights using fly-eye tint. Goes well with the black I think!

    Joined the red and yellow wires together and now have power!! Thankyou, it was really doing my head-in earlier

    Thanks again lads! I will have a look at the rust tomorrow. So just literally wire brush it, sand it back till it's shinny (bare metal) and then use oxide primer? Getting paint is not a problem as I'm only work right next door to a body repair shop

    I will give it a go now. Cheers Simpo

    Just red and black. Yellow is just a memory wire I think

    I was installing my Pioneer headunit into the Aerodeck and it has no power going to it? It worked in my MB3 and it worked in the Fiesta. The original headunit worked in the Aerodeck too but not the Pioneer. I plugged the Pioneer headunit back into the Fiesta again and it works fine, so the headunit is ok. I then used a electrical screwdriver to check if power is going through the live wire (red ignition wire) and the earth wire (black) from the Aerodeck's wiring loom and the headunit harness, power is going through them. I have even checked the headunit fuse and the fuse in the car itself. I shouldn't need to because the original headunit for the Aerodeck still works. The final thing I have done is hook the headunit directly to the battery, still no power... So plugged it into the Fiesta again, the headunit powers on... So now I'm stuck... Can anyone shed some light? Much appreciated, cheers

    Thanks chaps! I been quite busy today. Clean the throttle, clean the IACV and now idles spot on at 750rpm. It was proper manky in the inlet system and I have removed the panel air filter as it was black! Still has a sticky throttle but I will sort that out at work tomorrow I then gave it a good polish up and took some decent photos... And this have to be my favorite photo

    It's.... quite a big list But first I will be fixing her up. Give it a week for the car to wake up a bit as it has been sat in the garden over a year (What Krzy said) But then it's just traveled over 300 miles so it's done pretty well! The List Interior: MGZS dash inserts and air vents VTi / VTi-S half leather interior and door cards MGZR gear knob Black Magic steering wheel Door speakers and rear speakers VTi door tweeters Pioneer headunit Exterior: VTi-S side skirts Bottom window seals Rear door handle Drivers side mirror Purple Beaks bar Front lower tie bar Engine bay: Induction kit Purple rocker cover Resprayed brackets & mounts D16Z6 exhaust manifold Suspension: Mmm.... I don't think I want to put those sleeves and EG springs on. They were one of the causes of the accident in my old Civic. So I will be getting springs specifically made for an MB. Rear trailing arms will be swapped over because new bushes were recently fitted Not everything is listed. This is most of the stuff which is coming off my MB3. Now here's my buying and modifying list Full service using Mobil1 10w40 oil Cambelt change and auxiliary belts Modify the original MB3 headlights which I kept as spare Respray the spare grill in PB Rear VTi-S lip (If I can get one!) Mid boot spoiler (Again, going to be a hard find) VTi or VTi-S front lip Yellow fog lights JDM light mod all round Finish off respraying the Wolfrace alloys (not sure on colour now) Try and make the MGZS back box fit Custom made stainless steel center exhaust Now, the big plan! I always wanted to do this!! Seeing as the engine in my MB3 still runs, I will be taking the engine out and rebuild the block. New piston rings, crank seals, all the gaskets, crank bearings the lot. And rebuild the D16Y8 head which will be going on the rebuilt D15 block. Now you're probably thinking, why not just get a 1.6 engine? Because then I have to spend out on another engine. Also the engine in the MB3 has less miles (123'000) whilst the Aerodeck done 158'000. I pretty much got everything there. Just need a full rebuild kit and a P28 ECU

    Thanks for your help @Aerodeckcivic I shall give it a go. I might be able to push the dent out from the inside. It's the paint what I'm more worried about Cheers @Grant! It's all pretty much simple annoying little bits and pieces. After I swapped 90% of the stuff over from the old Civic, I got some real nice plans coming up
  12. vtec2011
    Super clean! The VTi-S looks amazing! Same to the other cars too I am still digging those wheels in white. You leaving them as they are or still respraying them?
  13. vtec2011
    Wow! Loving the JDM light touches and the spoiler looks spot! Chance of me getting one of those spoilers is remote...
  14. vtec2011
    Oh my she's looking amazing! Fantastic work mate!

    Right... fresh start with a new car! After having an accident in my MB3 quite recently, I have to get another car to take my mind of it. So my oleman decided to help me out on buying me another M! A week later I have found a 1998 Honda Civic Aerodeck MB9 in Pirates Black! Strangely this model doesn't have Air Conditioning? I saw it on Gumtree advertised for £385. It was cheap mainly because it had 158'000 miles on the clock (we all know this is nothing to a Honda) Even though it was 300 miles away, I was determined to buy that car! Bad points: The first thing I noticed was the rust on the rear arches, but I seen worst... Scratches all over, heavy scuffs around the bumpers, a very nasty deep dent on the rear panel, no rear door handle, a broken drivers side mirror and a broken aerial. The bonnet catch has a mind of it's own (one minute it will shut, next minute it won't!) Petrol cap flap doesn't close and the door locks are dodgy at times. Every interior air vent is broken, all door card cloths are stretched and SRS light is on. What's it like to drive? Well it has a very sticky throttle, brakes don't seem that effective and one of the rear brakes binding (common) The rear trailing arm bushes need replacing and the clutch has a very high biting point. Also the revs go up and down on idle (probably the Idle air control valve) So she had a hard life but I know I can replace every part on this car from my old Civic! Also with all these faults, I manged to knock £50 off as the seller didn't even know it had these faults. So I'm chuffed with that Good points: Eveything else works! Windows close properly and all 4 speeds on heaters work surprisingly! And it has a brand new OEM headlight! It has more bottom end grunt than my MB3 (even though the MB3 has less miles and more mods) Also the fuel economy is absolutely amazing! Filled the tank right up, done 360 miles and only used just over half a tank of fuel! Anyway enough yapping, here's a few not so great pictures. I will get more up tomorrow!!

    My Mb3 1.5 can rev line at 7200rpm not a problem. But I don't do it too often
  17. vtec2011
    Well done Alex! Wow I got 3 votes on mine. Cheers chaps

    I got about 128mph out of my MB3 once. Would got a bit more if it had the right gearbox. She loved it...
  19. vtec2011
    Sorry for the late reply but WOW! She's come up beautiful. Shame about the lip though...
  20. vtec2011
    Good photos. That bronze comes up beautiful in the pics
  21. vtec2011
    Nice, liking that a lot! Makes me wish I didn't get rid of my sub...
  22. vtec2011
    Whilst tidying the front bumper, are you going to colour code the black bumper trims too?
  23. vtec2011
    Awesome... I never tried that foam stuff
  24. vtec2011
    Looks beautiful in that photo above. I really wish I seen this car... Oh yes, you might have a mini-me twin
  25. vtec2011
    Nightmare mate... Did you replace the spark plug seals/gaskets on the rocker cover by any chance? Just thought if it's got oil in the spark plugs, it could be that too?
