@snakey135 the coilovers I had, fit around the stock shocks, they had plenty of play when the car was up on the bridge and that's not allowed sadly, when she was down and lowered the springs didnt have any play at all, so it's not really fair but I'm on stock springs now. Going to find a nice set of real coilovers soon and get her lowered again.

 

Ah right, to be fair you have to think how the suspension will react when the cars weight isn’t on them... I.e over bumps or slights crests in the road... if all of a sudden your springs become unseated at 50 odd mph probs not going to end well lol... however there are options with the stock springs n shocks though to lower it to a degree... should be stuff located in how to section bud

The fan blades look wicked! They staying original colour??

[The story of my MA8!]

Nice work!

[Snakey's VTI Deck! --DECK REBORN!!--]

I got a complete central heating system being installed soon, as currently no gas in the property, so when that all gets under way I might see if they can put me an outside tap in then!

[Snakey's VTI Deck! --DECK REBORN!!--]

Haha!!! Yeah it is well overdue a good clean... too much faffing doing it at home with no outside tap though so once it’s on the road I’ll give I a good spruce up at work!! 

[Website warning??]

Has anyone had a website warning when coming in today?? Something about an expired certificate, and an impersonator May be trying to steal my details??? Lol

Correct... just stands out different as it’s not body colour

I always go for the impact driver, it's a legitimate use of a hammer

 

School boy error though, I don't trust those scissor jacks at all and tend to use my trolley jack as much as possible with axle stands.

 

I know Krzys, I completely hold my hands up to it... I should know better, I’m a mechanic for god sake! Lol... up on stands now though and hopefully finish off tonight, with an impact driver and sledge hammer!!! 

[Snakey's VTI Deck! --DECK REBORN!!--]

Yeah I was doing it on my stone driveway so not a good idea to do it whilst on the jack... lucky I used the sill and I weren’t inside the arch when it came down!

 

yeah that’s the right thing to use, I just didn’t think i’d need it as those screws aren’t usually that damn tight!!... I forgot that I haven’t had the discs off yet so I should have expected it lol !!

[Snakey's VTI Deck! --DECK REBORN!!--]

Went to do my rear brakes this eve... went from bad to worse!!

 

first I realised not to underestimate the importance of axle stands.. my own stupid fault... 

 

No damage done luckily... then once I got it back in the air, the tip of my screw driver snapped off whilst trying to undo the holding screws on one of the discs!! 

 

Another go tomorrow with sturdier tools it is!!! Lol

Haha!!!! I didn’t look at the background car!! What a lemon!!

I recognise those aerodecks  

I just found them on google images... were they anything to do with you then Alex??

[stevie's Mb2 hard decision to make]

I know exactly what you mean mate... due to our house project the poor deck hasn’t been touched for about 6 months and been off the road for about 2-3 years 

[Snakey's VTI Deck! --DECK REBORN!!--]

News flash... I’ve just discovered the H-Tune website!!! Being up all night scrolling through their endless list of parts has given me a wish list totalling about £3800!!! 

[stevie's Mb2 hard decision to make]

Did the front bumper come out ok in the end??

[Honda Maz's Pirates Black VTI Aerodeck]

Hey Maz long time... you know the deck makes sense, I think you just love starting a project from a clean slate!

 

wheres your ‘to-do’ list for this beast then buddy??

[Mark's MC2 - Frey]

That’s a fair wreck you got there mate... good to hear everyone was ok!

 

Deck looks sweet... instead of buying alloys have you thought of maybe going down the banded steels route?? They sometimes look nice if done right

 

 

 

maybe not in bright blue though 

[Civic Aerodeck MB9 (Hinata)]

Looking sweet mate, nice and low.... what exactly failed the MOT? They can’t fail it just because it’s low lol!!
