Did the ZS 180 suspension mod with rear anti-roll bar about 6 months ago and the car feels like its on rails, a vast improvement over standard. Ride height is slightly lower in my case but not huge and as my car is used on all types of road from shopping to transporting my mountain bikes and dog, I'm glad there is plenty of clearance. The ride quality although firmer is not harsh and that includes being on 17" wheels. I thought I'd give you my experience with the mod as it seems some are having issues with the ZS setup, which is a shame, as I found it a fantastic upgrade. I'm wondering if there are other issues with the problem cars, as I feel the std setup is so soft it would mask other problems, e.g, worn bushes , joints etc, where the stiffer ZS stuff would show them up. Also I would always check the geometry after fitting any major suspension change. Just a thought. As far as CW Dismantlers is concerned, I can't fault them.

The Civic has just passed its mot, no issues. My dogs are chuffed.

I changed the LCA's and all the suspension to MGZS all at once so the difference was amazing, totally changed the car. The bushes in my standard LCA's where completely shot so there was going to be improvement. I have to say the Cyberspeed LCA's are well made and look the dogs on the car. I have to agree with you regarding CW Dismantlers, a very professional outfit, highly recommended.

Spent most of today's lovely sunshine, stuck in the garage refitting the Meta CAT 2:1 alarm from my old ESi into the VTi. There was a Toad in the VTi but it ran off the original Honda keyfob, which as you know is infra red, so poor range, and I only have one. The Meta has radio transmitters and I have 2 of them, (always a benefit). Been out of the alarm fitting game a while now, and it took a little longer to fit than I remember, maybe I'm getting old. Also fitted a K&N filter and replaced some corroded fasteners under the bonnet to stainless steel. Sorry no pictures guys, I just couldn't wait to finish today. MOT on Saturday, so hopefully no surprises. Wish me luck.

Thought I'd seen everything. Guy must be one short dude. On a different note, I might fancy a change to the Civic. Of course it will still have to have space for the dogs, http://youtu.be/9Nrgvkx9XPE Not sure on the day to day driveability though.

Very nice with good mods. -
Loved all my Nissans but the S13 & S14 were the most fun. May get one again someday, although quite happy with the Civic at the moment.

I quite fancy anthracite myself.

Quick update on some more bits for the Deck. And managed to get some cheap rims. The wheels are off a Hyundai Coupe and do need a refurb, but my mate paints wheels so they will be different soon. Any suggestions on a colour. Here's a sample of my friends work, these are 20's for his T5 transporter, he just needs to finish the rims of the wheels.
