I did a bit of research and found that someone had used spacers on front to raise it up by 5mm. However that thread is 5 years ago and I can't reply to it. So was wondering if anyone would know where I could get these spacers from? I really need to raise the front as sometimes I struggle to open the door when parked next to pavement lol.

@dr_broon Does your front sit lower than rear? I have Koni STR.T suspension on mine and not happy with front being too low, almost catches the arches.

Lol yeah, probably hasn't been opened in a while but I'm glad I got it working in the end. Quite disappointed the boot light doesn't work anymore but I think I can live without one hehe

@Dave Thanks for the help Dave, managed to open the boot after an hour of fiddling. Turned out that the mechanism was fine, just the boot lift support probably seized as it was making creaking noise or could be rusty hinges. Sprayed WD40 all over them until no more creaking noise and now boot shuts and opens fine. Hope it stays like this forever lol.

@Dave I managed to remove the bottom plastic panel to gain better view. Yeah have tried using a screw driver to push up the small part of mechanism and it still doesn't open. I pushed it up as much I can. When you say get someone to operate the lock, do you mean get someone to use the key from outside on boot whilst I push up the smaller bit because I've done this with a mate pulling the lever on the front and it didn't open. One strange thing I noticed was that the boot wasn't sitting flush as seen from the pic so I pushed it back down hoping the latch locks then I can open it but still no @KiNK43 No I haven't tried as the lower part of latch moves about so I thought it won't be a cable issue but I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

As title, I have MB6 and boot seems to be stuck. Using the key or lever won't help and I don't have the remote key fob for the car. I folded the rear seats and got in to push the latch upwards but nothing is happening. Got a mate to pull the lever and can see the latch rotating. Still confused to what's happening, I had a look at my old MB3 and noticed that from the pic below, the bigger part on bottom rotates upwards and pushes the small part on top upwards to open the boot but on my MB6 exactly the same happens but boot just doesn't budge. Any help will be appreciated.

You have alot of potential, I need to do this on my old MB3 but scared of going wrong lol.

So a little update today. Might be frowned upon by some but I'm just being me Added a VTi-S badge

Cheers, yeah Meisters definitely on my list of future plans. Just be a while until I get the funds together lol. Yes I’ve been researching more into these engines and having second thoughts now. It’s all down to budget as I don't want to splash too much when I could change the head for more opportunities and I've also been offered a JDM B18C which is just what I need but it's not cheap lol. I'd still be pleased if I could get to 190hp with these bolt ons.

@azzamb6 No worries brother @ammarbm Yeah the plans are to first start off with servicing it and replace valve stem seals. Swap a few parts from my old MB3 which is then going up for sale. Touch up bodywork areas, grill, front lip and rear bumper. Underseal. New wheels and coilovers. Main thing is I want to aim for 200hp mark N/A so S80 gearbox, Exedy stage 1 clutch, chipped P28 ECU, intake manifold and 2.5 exhaust system and maybe a few other bits which I can’t remember atm.

Seats looking good, have to say I do miss sitting in them, so comfortable lol.

@azzamb6 It's quite good. I have cheap eBay coilovers on my old civic and the Koni suspension is far better. I know a few members on here using it too. Drives smooth, no bounces and handles great. Only downside is that the front sits quite low than rear but it's not really a problem for me as I can go straight over speed bumps without scraping.

Thanks all, washed the car this morning and some pictures.

Hi all, I've recently bought an MB6 VTi in Pirates Black and though I'd start a thread. Some pictures I took when I went to pick it up.

I actually copied yours lol, loved how clear the lenses look from a distance and 70mm is perfect size for the fog surrounds. Shame I didn't get to test them at night as fuse blew up twice due to messy wiring lol.

I had the same problem, couldn't figure out how to fit the bracket so I just did this.

Update: Got new fog lights as old one had one of the lens missing. Tinted them yellow then fitted. Cobra Sport backbox off a Subaru modified to fit MB.

I had to place the bulb like this lol

Yeah working perfect now, was having slight issue with hyper flashing at first but sorted now.

That's hell loads of cash, which bank did you steal from?

Some updates: Resprayed the rocker cover in red Heat wrapped the manifold. The cable ties provided with won't tighten fully so instead I used jubilee clips. Cold air duct feed fitted through bumper cut out Finally got the correct size spigot rings after ordering wrong size twice and also red dice dust caps lol. I then got USDM kit off @Chandler Love this mod

Looks much better now lowered.

Thanks all. @Dave, the wheels fitted straight on. Just had to get spigot rings for them. Although I do have inner tyre wear due to being low so camber kit and arch rolling is next list of the plans.
