    I will admit the coilovers have become more bouncy in the last few months on uneven roads. But I am still not going to pay 700+ for new coilovers, so I might look into good condition second-hand Meister R's. Bought a few car parts last night. Brand new Skunk2 lower control arms (they really hurt the bank) Also got a second-hand 3 point strut brace coming soon

    Nice work! Quite like the idea of the coilover socks. I thought maybe a set for mine but I don't think it's worth it on my cheap coilovers I am surprised you haven't undersealed your Deck yet!

    I'm on the hunt for rear LCA's. Hopefully make a purchase tonight I had a look on Tegiwa and Skunk2 websites. Can you recommend any other sites?

    I had a look on the Tried & Tested thread / Helpful list. It says EG or EK LCA's can fit MB's but I am pretty sure they are both different lengths? And can anyone recommend me some sites? I don't want cheap Skunk2 copies!! Many thanks!

    Cheers peeps! The drivers side window fell into the door last night.. Fix it and then something else breaks I driven a MB4 today (customers car) and I have to be honest it felt so much better to drive than my Aerodeck. Everything feels so smooth, tight and quiet! I got to get my a$$ in gear and sort my car out. Replace ball-joints, bushes and probably better coilovers

    Shes great! No more over-heating! Just got back from a 60 mile drive and so far so good. It's blowing a bit because one of the manifold stud threads have sheared off. I will sort it out soon

    Just replaced the head-gasket yesterday and it only took the whole afternoon to get it done. Unfortunately the bloke who skimmed the head he couldn't replace the valve-stem oil seals as his valve spring compressor was damaged. I'm not too bothered to be honest because I just wanted to fix the over-heating issue. Anyways, 3-4 hours of work and only cost me £62

    Thanks man! After trying out a couple other wheels, think I am going for the track look. The head-gasket is gone on the other Aerodeck too, that's why I bought it for scrap value. I hope to rebuild that engine and drop it into my black Aerodeck
  14. vtec2011
    Totally agree haha. Will be raised on the rear a tad. I quite like the a$$ up & face down look
  15. vtec2011
    Exactly what I thought. And the poor girl has been abused by previous owners
  16. vtec2011
    That's true.. I'm still waiting for the head-gasket kit to arrive! I quite like the colour as they or graphite grey would look good 👌

    Was bored last night, so I edited Rota Slipstreams on the Deck. I never been keen on these wheels but I am really liking them a lot!
  18. vtec2011
    Yes, doesn't matter if the head is warped as it's getting skimmed and I got 3 spares anyway
  19. vtec2011
    They should give you more down-force

    That's a nice speaker install with adaptors and cushioning, doing it right I love Focal audio, I use to have a set in my old Civic but unfortunately one had a slight crackling noise
  21. vtec2011
    I have just done this yesterday. Head-gasket is definitely a gonner or on its way out anyway.. I hope to get the head off today and then send it off for skimming
  22. vtec2011
    That is looking excellent! Well done mate! Looks so mean!!
  23. vtec2011
    Wheeey! She's looking sweet! So @Krzys advice actually worked?!

    Checked oil (very clean as a full service recently been done) and it's not losing any coolant. Basically what is happening, exhaust gases is getting pass the head-gasket and into the cooling system / water ways. This is why I have to keep bleeding the cooling system as it keeps getting trapped air. But the coolant haven't got enough pressure to get through the gasket and into the bores. This is the reason why there is no water and oil mixing. Hope that makes sense haha

    Nice one on the exhaust mate, that's a proper bargain! Looking lush back on those wheels again
