Cheers buddy should have all the photos up by the end of the day. been meaning to do a project thread for a long time now

SO once sanded, I sprayed up all the parts I had giving them 3 coats of black and then 3 coats of gloss lacquer so they had a lovely shine to them. Before Lacquer All nice and lacquered up
-
I then sprayed my vac formed parts to then work on any imperfection. also primed any parts that where ready for it. Bit of the good old car body filler worked a treat in the gaps. then it was sanding time then more fun after

Anyway back to the angel eyes. Once I had made sure the projectors would fit I was able to go onto the next stage. I started vac forming the headlights with the projectors in to make a nice cover. This was a very difficult process to do as i went through alot of vivac trying to get a even shape between the two headlight and after my 6 attempt i decided to adapt what i had as the straight from the heat and presure started to crack the original housing. Some failed attempts Quick test fit to make sure the front plate fits over. it did

Projectors and HID arrived and then the fun really began I glued in a red LED into the bulb (make sure the LED has a resistor on) to give the projectors a demon eye effect in low light The projector kit also came with these chrome shrouds which i had to modify to fit my LED rings to. BEFORE DURING Im lucky that in my line of work i have use of a laser cutter so i was able to cut out some support rings to help hold on the LED ring AFTER

So i better start showing the process of how i made the angel eyes hope you all enjoy guys and girls started with buying a new set of headlights found on ebay for £30 which i pulled apart straight away. Keep in mind i have also already purchased a projector kit, HID kit, LED angel eye ring and HID harness all from china so in all took me over two months to make these bloody things The LED rings lights where the next item to arrive. I took my headlight bit to work with me and on my lunch started to sand back the chrome so it can be sprayed.

so here is the MGzs spoiler added, i sprayed it matte black to blend in with the trim and i thought it looked amazing. helps make the rear of the car look so much more aggressive. BEFORE AFTER and one with no spoiler

The time has come to start my project thread, I now have enough work done on the car to keep this thread going for a while. I bought this mb6 from the user Nickrueth as he was a close friend of mine and i didnt want to see his pride and joy vanish plus like most freaking love the sound of VTEC. here is a list of mods on the car: 17" team dynamic rims tegiwa induction kit slammed on coilovers supersprint straight through pipe powerflow backbox (raspey as hell) de chromed horn degayed custom made angel eye headlights rear upper strut brace MG zs spoiler arches rolled JDM tow hook police blue strobes behind grill MG cup holder Short Shifter i am sure the list will go on and hopefully will be able to show you all the mods in the this thread. ENJOY So the first thing i had to change was the suspension as it wasnt fitted correctly the springs had been fitted back to front so was a easy fix. here is your first photo of the car and how it sits

Hello everyone im in need of help. I just crack my paint from trying to roll my wheel arch. I think the previous owner has removed my paint code sicker as i can't find the paint code. as it quite a average paint I was wondering if anyone knows the paint code or could locate it on there cars so i can order the paint to respray the panel. plus it would be useful to know incase anyone else needs it in the future. Have attached a link to the car if anyone is unsure of the dark red colour. thanks guys.

I see what you mean now standard type r seats looks rubbished in comparison to the accord seats cheers buddy

DO ep3 type r seats fit straight into the mb6 or are they different mountings?

dinochips replied to Vtec-Maniac-'s topic in Honda Civic MA/MB/MC
You didnt sell the car over a year ago and the buyer is saying he has had it for the past year. Because ITS FOR SALE AGAIN!! lol heres the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... ink:top:en -
this is kinda what i was looking for, i dont understand why honda would make the mb6 in japan and then send it to the uk to be registered when the UK are already making the MB series. just would have been cool to know the MB6 was made in its home country
-
After watching this video i read the comments and aprantly the MB6 is a import and was made in japan according to CASH8OY comment. does anyone know the history behind the MB6 or is this guy talking out his arse. heres the link.

Hey people I recently sorted out my suspension as the guy who had it beofre me fitted the coilover spring on the wrong way round. Everything was going smoothly until the last bolt on the rear strut top mount which decided to sheer off. So now i only have the 1 bolt holding in the strut. I have looked on ebay but I am having no luck finding a second hand strut top mount. I was woundering if anyone would have one for spare which i could pay for. Its either that or I buy a Hole rear suspension unit and strip it for the part i need which would be so much more fustrating. If anyone could offer some tips or help i would be extremely thankful.
