  1. f**k me sideways that looks awesome now
  2. Cheers tom some dude in an atr was eyeing them up as i filled up at the local bp watering hole after work think he was abit
  3. Cheers mate tbh a thought it was going to be a goner so started thinking about putting the b18 in a low spec ej/ek shape civic and having some sleeper fun but its all good so onwards with keeping another aerodeck on the road
  4. Cheers buddy should look even better if a can score a full respray once its all straightend . i was just going to use upullit for bits until my workmate told me to give scb a bash, first time i've been there its feking massive but not alot of civics, still managed to find what need and its all in good condition. Theres a rake of mg zs' in there i'll be going in next week to get some wing mirrors and a cheeky wee arb
  5. Managed to source all the panels i need from a mc1 thats in sports car breakers in newbridge getting the job lot for 100 bucks which is pretty reasonable i think. Parts are: bonnet bumper bumper bar n/s wing & arch liner n/s Headlamp( which i'll have to dechrome/tango before fitting) Should get these parts tomorrow just need to phone first and make sure they aren't going to charge me if they deliver them to my work. Failing that i'll go along sat morning and take them off myself If all goes to plan we should have it all fitted and lined up on sat 1"£££$££"!! Could'nt resist giving her a wash just before i left work as i fitted my last two refurbed rims today. looking mint on the drivers side
  6. Aye especially on snow a dont even think stig blomqvist couldve saved it What they did in an hour is awesome top lads
  7. Cheers mate aye am fine just got a wee bit of damaged pride and a sore neck . Still looks stunning just got a battle scar to tuffin her up abit
  8. Aknow mate luckly as it wouldve been of to the scrappers for the shell if it was wasn't
  9. I honestly thought the car was f**ked, it was a fair old wack when i hit the wall . i went past it slowly today theres plenty of red paint on it but not the slightest bit of damage an outstanding piece of masonary Never had the chance to test the abs as the light has been on since i bought it. First car i'v had with abs and it doesnt even work
  10. If my abs was working then maybe it could've been avoided or atleast made the impact less severe or if i just left it to 2nd gear and not braked then the slide might not of started but hey ho sugar happens
  11. Well what can i say other than im a numpty and shouldve been going slower crappy nankangs are no match for snow and ice but i still thought i would make the corner without drama as i was doing a steady 20mph. Aproaching the downhill right hander i brushed the brake pedal which instantly locked the wheels coming of the brakes did f**k all!! i was a passenger and was going into the wall so i braced for impact, swore alot and prayed to the baby jesus. Bounced of the wall quite hard and amazingly managed to continue without stopping till a found an entrance to a farm. Got out and had a look, kicked the car a few times, punched myself in the face then calmed down and continued on to work as i was only a mile away. Got my panelbeater mates to have a look and the verdict was it should be ok to straighten out as honda metal is quote 'soft as f**k' The boys did an awesome job on their lunchbreak might i add making it driveable for me. Good thing is its all fixable just bolt on parts no chassis leg damage just need to get n/s wing, headlamp, bonnet, bumper and bumper bar. Over the moon that its going to be alright but seriously p**sed off at myself for letting it happen Oh good news is my other two wheels are finished so ill get them fitted tomorrow
  12. Defo and a good drop on coilies will be needed after that the tyres seem to have grown now the rims are dark
  13. Christ they must of looked massive mines are 205/50 16 im going to get 195/45 falkens next month, young lad at work has them on his clio 200 cup and rates them against the conti sport contact3 that were on it. Gotta renew my brakes this month iv been putting them off for over 6 months now and they are toast Heres some pics of the new look
  14. Cheers mate i put them on today they look braw but the comedy balloon tyres are letting them down big style. Will get some pics up soon just waiting on the mrs giving me the laptop back
  15. Wish i had a garage as these would be on tonight, cant stop thinking what they'll look like on it Got a vision in my head of how this is going look when its finished and it makes me only problem is money is tight so its going to be slow progress. Full vti-s kit,side mouldings body coloured, 195/45 tyres, decent drop on coilovers
  16. You like then I'll get pics of them fitted on one side tomorrow
  17. It certainly will it just looks cack atm Finally got 2 of my wheels back from the dude thats painting them. Need to try them asap as im still not sure about the colour. what do you guys think
  18. Cheers knight total stunner you've got there verrry nice..
  19. Gave the auld goat a wee wash at lunchtime. Job for the weekend is to repaint the lower grill black and clean the headlight lenses as they look awful now the front is freshly painted. i'll most likely be binning the fogs and using some carbon wrap to cover the holes aswell..worst fogs ever
  20. thats a good deal! damn right it was i was actually shocked when he offered to do it cause he's all about making time on jobs hence the nickname smash it
  21. The less said about that the better
  22. Some young dafty decided it would be a good idea to do a 3 point turn where my car was parked long story short she reversed into my n/s quarter which pushed it in very slightly, scraped my bumper and damaged both rear wheels and bent something as the camber is foooked at the rear luckly i work for a accident repair centre so i told the bodyshop manager what happened and he got it repaired without it being a total loss. i had to let the geo check and wheel refurb go as that wouldve sent her to scrappers anyway smash' it the painter struck a wee deal with me basically told me he would paint the hole front end when he was going to do the quarter and rear bumper so long as a valet his car when the weather gets better canae ask for a better deal than that eh... got another painter to do my wheels for cash two of them were getting painted tonight ill get some pics up tomorrow hopefully. just need to sort out the dodgy camber myself hope it not kinked the chassis
  23. Cheers mate, aye my brother had one of them on his old deck it sounded mega but he thought it felt slower when the iabs opened compared to the cheepo induction kit that was on it before, they do look the dogs dangles tho.
  24. Yeah the airbox aint pretty but its a cheap old way to get epic induction roar Will b buying either an aem shortram or jdm password power chamber in a few months whats your thoughts on these..
  25. Hi all heres my deck.. mods so far are, deresonated,drilled airbox with k&n filter 421 japspeed manifold decat pipe mg zs 180 suspension shortshifter that little lot has transformed the way it drives but aknow there is so much more that can be done to improve things. So this year im going to try and get the handling properly sorted as i love abit of spirited b road driving which atm is abit tailhappy,twitchy and the front end goes light without understeering which doesnt really help when trying to have a good drive. depending on funds i'll be buying coilies/new bushes/adj camber arms/decent 195/45 tyres/ decent uprated brakes/ rear arb. still suprised how good it is for a small estate a really cant think of anything similar that can touch it.. cmon the aerodeck!!!
