That's bad news
it is yeah, ill be back in something b powered at some point though!
-
Bad news i'm afraid, the MB6 has been sold and ive gone back to an EJ9 haha. Couldnt afford the fuel, 2 weeks on the road and spent 300 odd quid on petrol haha
-
That poorboys really make a difference? Might have to invest
the few times ive used it ive put a good few layers on and its very good aye and for the price cant beat it!
-
Couple of months? Will be winter again then ...no time for white rims!
itll be fine.. plenty of poorboys on them!
Those rims actually got me re-thinking my stock wheel promise to myself... They are beautiful!
haha me too, couldnt find any i liked in 4x114 but they came along and i fell in love with them haha
-
I know what your saying, im always at least 6 inches from the kerb now days! Advans will look nice on though
yeah they should do, hopefully have tyres for them in the next couple of months haha
-
Oh yeh, forgot you had those!
so do i sometimes haha! in the meantime just abusing the standard alloys, its great being able to kerb it when i cant be arsed parking properly haha
-
Old schools advans?
wouldn't say old school, not the 3 spokes anyway haha, a set of RCs from an old Mitsubishi Evo a friend of mine had years ago haha. theres a pic on page 2 i think!
-
White wheels....nice
cheers, will hopefully have the Advans on soon!
-
finally got the beast mot'ed today! chucked half a years tax on and enjoyed the rest of my night haha. well pleased!
-
Hey guys my MB6 had an advisory for the bolts that connect the suspension to the lower control arm, because the ones that are on the car (and were on it when i got it) are not high tensile steel bolts and this is rather unsafe!
So where can I get these bolts from? Cant find any on ebay!
-
Odd that, wonder if a reverse brace reduces understeer?
![[smash.gif]](https://civic5.com/forum/uploads/smash.gif)
it might help doing reverse donuts haha
It looks odd the wrong way around, good job on the painting and the spray booth lol
it does, no idea how i didnt realise! cheers haha not the best of jobs but on the side which you see when you open the bonnet it looks ok lol
-
Yeah, looks like you had it the wrong way before, nice job though.
dont blame me it was my cowboy mates who put it back on the last time it was off haha!
-
cheers mate, just need to re paint the rocker cover now!
-
You've turned the brace round?
s**t so i have! haha it seemed to fit better that way! lol
with a quick google search it looks like i got it right though
-
Good times dude. Best of luck with mot
Cheers man, hopefully it goes through alright!
Got bored today and re painted my strut brace and the spark plug cover haha
the spray booth
before
after
-
Update, changed an ABS sensor and now the light works as it should! happy days, in for MOT a week tomorrow, will hopefully be VTECing around next weekend
-
just the 2 dash lights left now! Mot is 29th may
Small update, got bored at work and made a sticker haha, it translates to "It is not a Rover" haha
-
Brake lights now work! got the switch in today. one back brake carrier bolt is being a d**k so will get that done tomorrow hopefully
only the cv boots and the dash lights after that!
-
She's coming along! Wheels look awesome! With the sealant on them do you just need to rinse them then?
Sometimes it's worth just taking one for the team and buying from Honda!
She is aye! Well thats the plan anyway haha, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to clean them
Poorboys wheel sealant if you're wondering only 5 days left till the big day haha its gonna get blitzed tomorrow, everything will get done hopefully! And yeah, and with OEM parts you know theyre gonna last!
-
I hate rain when you want to do something to the car!
It was a right pain haha but i was just happy i got my bolts so i thought f**k it am getting this done! lol need to put a big tent round the car as a makeshift garage!
-
These arrived yesterday
Finished one side last night in the p**sing rain!
New bolts and everything copper greased!
While the wee EJ9 was clocking up the miles!
-
just ordered the bolts from honda, thought i might as well do it earlier than later as the Mot is next week!
-
Cheers guys, no breakers anywhere near me!
Got the caliper bolts as number 30. but not sure from the diagram which ones the carrier ones lol, dont want to get the wrong ones, they're quite expensive! Im guessing its 32, but on the list there is no 32?
-
Finally got the rear brake caliper off, rounded the bolts doing it! any help in finding where to get new caliper and carrier bolts would be great!
