Just added some more pics i found!

Damn, i spent ages looking through EVERY page on 'exterior' section..and it's in the 'how to' section! My mistake! Thanks for this...brilliant help!

bejesus, that was a record fast reply! Ok, thanks for letting me know, i will delve into the project more carefully now!

Hi there civic5ers, I'm going to be blacking out the rear chrome strip under the 'H' badge and was wondering how it came off. I have been prodding at it with a screwdriver but don't want to damage it! Is it a case of just clipped in or are there hidden screws that i can't see? If anyone has taken one off before then any info would be great. Alastair

I did put paint on the disc edge also but not in drooves! Rust may show in grooves! (Just need to drive harder to get rid of rust)

Damn it!

Sweet! You can now go and enjoy full vtec motoring

I bought a tin of hammerite smooth satin black paint and painted the hubs to avoid unsightly rust later in life!

I went for mtec dimpled and grooved discs all round. As said before DON'T get drilled as i went through 2 sets under warranty with mtec on my last civic. I also have green stuff front pads and mintex rear pads. I found the green stuff to be fine for my driving style but as i may track the car next year....i think red stuff may be an option at the time. But for non track driving, green stuff are good.

My mate in the work was looking at this post and says the lca's i'm looking at will be craaap! He says that he has seen the cheaper ones snap and the bushes are made of chocolate. He suggested skunk 2 ones as they are stronger made. They have no direct benefit other that looking good and lighter! I may think about this before buying!!

Look the mutts nuts and lighter! I'm not entirely sure if benefits other than that!

Yeah i thought that cutting it was the answer but i wanted to make sure that everyone else does the same etc. I have MGZS shocks fitted to would not want to buy other suspension to avoid cutting! Thanks for the reply.

Lol lol Im glad there are others who share my passion for all things vehicle related!

These would really sum me up! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121066248344?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I have been thinking about getting rear lower control arms and have been doing research on this forum and others. What i gather is mb6 rear shocker forks are 40mm wide. The dc2, eg,ek lca's fit but most lca's have a bush that's 50mm wide? Would i get this to fit as it says 'bushes are 50mm wide'..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIVIC-CRX-88-95-LCA-EK-EJ-VTEC-UPRATED-REAR-LOWER-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARMS-/231055729750?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AHonda%7CModel%3ACivic&hash=item35cbfea456 Any info on these would be great as in the 'showroom' section, peoples build thread are mostly with coilovers fitted and they have 50mm wide forks anyway! Cheers Alastair

WOW! Just sat through a couple of hours reading EVERY detail in this thread! Love these build threads and the fact people like yourself spend time and effort on older cars to make them 'supercar beaters'. Top stuff and I love your engine bay detailing...inspirational! "now wheres my red spray paint..."

Well done mate, you deserved the top spot!!

Its great for the site and all thats entered the competition to have lots of comments/votes this month.! A good response and i hope it continues for years to come!

I have the same mods EXCEPT the dc2 cams, skunk 2 throttle body and inlet manifold and I made 185bhp with live (not base) remap. I am interested to find out roughly the gains for adding cams, inlet manifold and throttle housing. I would just like to break the 200bhp mark and i would be hhhapppy!

Love the black splitter, stands out well! Me likey!

Paul, what bhp are you getting with those engine mods?

Lol lol lol

Voting is for the nicest/well maintained car mate...not how it drives! As for air...the new video has both our cars taking air! Mine came down hard and snapped air filter bracket and car suddleny had an exhaust blow...all now have since been fixed at work today! All on camera! I tell you what, these civics can take a beating....fabulous brand of car. Just to let whoever know...if i ever sell my car and it ends up on ebay...i guarantee you that even though driven hard..tis always looked after! Also, hey moderators..sorry for hijacking this thread....no more now!

Lol lol I will buy jool83 a drink for their help in getting votes!! And no, i have not created a jool83 membership just to vote for my car!

That is one clean looking mb right there! I tip my cap to you mate!
