After much digging around the car I have come to the conclusion that the immobiliser is at fault,
I am fount to have to take the car off the road and bust out spunky the spare car!
I will be doing some research and seeing if it is viable and cost effective to fix, if not the car will be broken for parts : /
-
Nope dead as a door nail gonna get a,tie him and break it for parts soon I think! Lol
-
Very! Had it running and still have power to stereo ect just no immobiliser
-
I'm sat in a carpark unable to start my car, my immobilized is the culprit I think! I can get the stereo to work and the lights ect but no dash light my fob has battery left in it but I have no dash lights at all and no red immob light, I have tried taking the battery off and the key pad code I have but nowt! Any help greatly appreciated

OOOHHHH KAAAAYYYY
So as the weather was a little better today i thaught id de-chrome my lil MB3
i didnt get a before shot bue everyone knows the satndard recess looks gash in chorme so i got dusy with the masking tape..........................
whilst i was there i thaught id refresh the rear wiper arm a bit as it was looking tired!!! heres the end result...
then onto the front, same thing really but i asked te missus to add a bit of flair to the freshly painted "H".......
(yeah im a happy man!!!!!!!!!!)

Honda owners are a strange breed sometimes!!!

Heres some retro goodness in the form of my new head unit!!! just need to re wire an iso onto it!!!
and my jbl's for the cost of a pack of smokes!!
just need to get 'em fitted now!!!
-
how do i change the title of the thread in probably just being dumb but i cant see how
-
so am i!!!!
although its gonna be a bit of a wait to get it all fitted as i need to make up/bodge a loom from the headunit to the car!!! oh and im hopefully going to get the wheels somewhat tidied up too, the bolke that had the car before me sprayed them whilst they where still on the car!!! FOOL
So i have decided that satin black will do until i can afford the wheels i want (when i eventually decide on a set!!!)
oooh and next month SHOULD be suspension time but ill have to see how kind work is to me before i decid what to get!!
hopefully i can achieve everything before its time for PTM!!
i will get pics up soon hopefully!!

and a proper retro alpine cassette deck!! modified by alpine to be able to use mp3 ect and 4 rca outputs too!!!
ill get some pics up soon!!

Good start mate, not sure about the beige interior though.
Wild beige I'll have you know
not my cup of tea either but ill live with it till funds allow a nicer interior!!!

So i thaught id better get some pics up of the old girl, shes a '99 mb3 and is almost standard i do have plans for her but only time and cash flow will see them come to fruition,
i sold my landrover discovery just befors xmas, a six month labour of love, she had stood almost dormant for nearly two years and was baldy in need of some major TLC.
after many many late nights about a km of welding wire and plenty of swearing,arguments and and head scratching she was finally road legal.
but something never rang true about her i could never put my finger on ot tho so i decided to sell up and look for something slightly more economical.
After about 15 hour of 'tinternet searching i happened across a small green civic, i called the boss for permission to buy her and have not looked back since.
A fantastic little runner 1.5 vetec MB3
and here she is!!
pics not brilliant the lens on my camera phone is mullered!!!
fresh from the car wash but still a long way from perfect!!!
she is a bit battered alond the doors but new ones will be had as soon as i find some good ones along with a new bonnet
as money isnt brill at the mo all i have managed to fit so far is the induction kit (japspeed) and a temporary backbox (FLEABAY)
and a few choice stickers!!!!!
and the obligotairy bass!!!!
and yes i do need to tidy the wiring a bit!!!
-
Just a thaught, my wadding collapsed out of my back box and blocked the exhaust, this forced air to be forced out at any point it could escape and severely reduced performance, an offshoot of this was a screaming noise from my induction kit as the engine struggled to breathe, it made an aweful screaming/whezing noise until I got home and hooked all the gubbins out from the tail pipe!
-
are you talking about bushes....????? if yes ive heard loads of good things about hardrace stuff or if you meen lower control arms i havent got a clue
yeah the bushes, but probably upgarde the lot if the bank of wifeland will allow me to!!!!

cheers

sweet, time to get my shop on!!
whilst on the subject are there any decent after market trailing arms ect?/
want a fully sorted chassis eventually
-
does the year matter too much?
mines '99
-
just a quickie really,
From day one of ownership i have maintained that rather than just replace worn parth with oem i want to upgrade..........
i want to lower the car in the near future as well as replace the bushes ect, my question is this..
whats the best value for money way of lowering and upgrading? is it the MG route or aftermarket koni ect
help coz im getting all confused
i dont want to go much lower than 40mm all round
cheers

Ebay is great but addictive! Also it makes it so easy to just buy without really thinking about it.
Very true, however I am probably the shopper ever and it always comes down to value for money hahaha, and unwitting ebayers!

-
Haha yeah that next month now I had the plugs out today and gave thrm a clean wich helped too
-
Well after messing with spark plugs and ht leads, I took the old girl for a spin but tge problem was still apparent, I headed off to see my mechanic freinds at knight racer ( jap specialist) they suggested an oil change
So went and got some oil and filter ect drained all the old oil out NOT A LOT IN THERE! and why is the oil filter in such a tight space?!
Anyways I'm off for a run and hopefully will return with good news!
not good sign! 
Yeah tell me about it! The stuff that cam out was aweful, I knew it needed doing! And its seems a lot better and far more responsive!
