Well small measly update after just reading davemb2's update but hey! never the less . finally finished my cf badge tonight i will get this mounted tomorrow. Looks great dont know what happened in the pic though it looks distorted in the bottom corner of the 'H'. .Also found a (spoon, I think is fake) engine torque damper that a mate gave to me from his old delsol. I have had this lying around for ages so i might aswell fit it. Although i think im gonne remove the spoon etching. Surely the etching would be better quality if it was genuine?

Wow! Speechless very impressed mate. Everything just fits perfectly! How have you managed to keep this to your self! Very jealous. Well done mate!!!

Wow! What a difference. Well done. Amazing what a bit of elbow grease can do

^^^^^ i love mine! And modding the evo rails isn't really too difficult. Don't the dc2 recaro rails fit straight on to th m chassis? I thought eg,ek and teg were all the same?

The chart on there may be of some use to you. http://www.magnaflow.com/wideopen/performdata.asp

This is mine on LO 40mm springs doesn't scrape at all ( unless driven like a d**k of course) im impressed with them for the money although would benefit from uprated dampers. Will do this myself once i manage to save some more moneys

Thaks for your comments chaps! Well not so much an update but i booked the M in at the body shop yesterday for painting the rear quarters next tuesday! Happy days! I want the finish as could as i can possibly get. Will be mega motivated to do more thing i have in mind

That sounds awsome, from what i managed to grab from 2.5 seconds of video

Look's great that mate! i was thinking of this mod my self although i wasn't sure on a silver car. Im going to do something similar i think but only do the clear part

Cant wait to see this . are they skunk 2 lca's?

Brilliant!

Looks a pretty good base! as for the idle problem i had this, it turned out to be the throttle position sensor but i just changed to a known good throttle body with all sensors attached. You could always try reading the flash codes using the wire loop trick, i thing there,s a how to on here some where? Thats how i diagnosed mine.

Great work there mate! comoooooon! we want to see more

What a shame mate really sorry to here about this! Just when the build was coming along. As said though, At least your all well after that.

I have taken my res box off and with my whale p***s and k&n it sounds awesome. I was so shocked what a difference it made (to the sound)

Yeh it will be The volvos are great but we were prepping the polo to be advertised so that will be gone soon . Im lucky to be able to work on it there and have mates with such a good quality of work to give me a hand with it.

Bit of an update! I took the m over to my mates garage where me and ste got the rear quarters 98% finished and in 2k filler prime. really pleased with the result just a little more shaping to do, I also bought my top coat an laquer etc. I cant wait to paint it im sick of driving round in a multi coloured car already But hey ho, good things come to those who wait Here are a few pics of the progress and various pics from its first weekend on the road in my ownership! Big thanks to ste and john! Also got it laser aligned today and fitte a new falken zeax i think its called as since its been on the road its b****red a tyre due to the tracking being 11 degree out The girlfriend doing some petrol head wall art in the garage Sorry if i went abit ott on the pics

Cheers chaps!

Good news, I finished all the work it failed on. I now have a full years ticket! Happy days!

ha yeh i do that on a regular basis Well... good news, i rebuild the brakes maing sure everything was really free and copper greased. At first try it would have failed but as the tester was abit of a honda nut himself and he told me to go for a hard drive stamping on the brakes, Then it passed with only 4% imbalance Happy days, i now have a years ticket!

If you have read my build thread my m went in for the test today and failed on front brake imbalance 38%, i understand the pass requirement is 25% Has any one else ha this problem? if so how did you go about it? Also are the civic brake system x-linked so could it be a prob with say the rear right thats making the front left weak? I was thinking of cleaning up my front pads/d**ks, free up grease pistons,bleed one final time. Any thing else any info will be usefull as its in for the retest on saturday morning and i have other bit's and bats to do too. Ta guys!

ended up getting one of these k&n well pleased. Hell of an induction noise now

I id this last week it took abit of figuring out but i/help from an auto spark pal got it sorted. i am going to o a diy thread when i find time. Do you have 2 black,blue,brown,grey?

Ta mate! yeh it'll be nice to get it on the road again. Iv'e never really been any good or had the patience with cleaning cars but im willing to give it a go after all the work iv'e done
