Gonna have to get fuel today so might nip out shortly. Iv not even cleaned it yet lol want to try get that done today and give it a check over.

Cheers dave! It was just by luck I managed to get the deck. Started checking the for sale and wanted on Facebook at 0130 after the crash. Spotted the deck for £250 so messaged the seller saying if it was avilable I'd be round ASAP to buy it. Turns out the guy was pretty sound and I explained what had happened and my plans for the car. She needs a good polish and is missing some bits of trim around the roof bars, passenger rear tail light has a scuff. But she has potiential and tbh I'm really liking the comfort and quietness of it lol that'll probably soon change tho
-
Advisory on the front drop links, a tyre and handbrake. The new calipers etc from the mb4 will be fitted to this. Also have s full front end polybush kit so il fit that to the mb4 arms and get them on the deck. Then iv got the 15x8.5 and 9 banded steels to fit once the konis and on
-
Oh and the deck passed its mot so that's £185 in total for a road going car, pretty chuffed with that. And the full leather interior makes for a nice drive.
-
Yeah she's fine. We've been down to one car for a while but iv been doing a lot of work to a ford ka we got for free. It's near completion now but I just want the deck for myself lol
-
Not updated this in a while. Life has been good with the little mb4. It's taken us round Ireland and down south twice in the past few months and never skipped a beat. The rear brakes started to play up so I fitted new calipers,discs and pads. Unfortunately last night my wife had a bump in the car. Country roads round our way are terrible and she lost control and ended up hitting posts and a fence. Managed to drive the car back (the little trooper it is) but the damage is too much to repair. Have no fear tho! I set out today to find a car, and managed to pick up a 1998 aerodeck es with full black leather interior for £150 it needs a mot but that'll be done tomorrow and then I need to strip the mb4. Il remove all the hubs,suspension, engine etc to keep and fit to the deck. I'd just finished painting up some banded steels I made for the mb4, but looks like they'll now go on the deck. Will probably make a replica of my old blue deck as I really liked that car. No pics of the deck yet but some will follow.

Could always weld a wee bash guard on the back box to the pipe. I loved the sound of my apexi, nice deep tone with no rasp. I did have a fairly large centre box. Exhaust system was probably the only decent thing on that deck lol. I do think the angled jap can suits them tho.
-
I had a angled apexi back box on my deck. Loved the look of it but it did use to scrape on some big bumps. Love where your going with your deck.
-
Not done that much with the civic recently as iv bought a wee van. But I have swapped wheels as I kept getting rubbing issues with the buddyclubs. And iv also recieved a mgzs 180 rear arb. Looks like I might have to modify the pipe work on the exhaust I made.
-
Front H de-chromed
-
Finally got rid of the rear chrome used some carbon fibre wrap which came out ok for my first attempt. Going to do the front H badge next. And yes yes I need new number plates lol
-
Probably the best car meet iv been too tbh. Fantastic weather and great roads made for a superb day out (even if I did scrape a lot lol) Need to get another one organised.
-
I'm sure @Craig aerodeck had one fitted to his mb civic. Cars looking good man and sounds gid loved the noise this car made when we had the meet a couple years back. Could hear @burbleboy getting ready to overtake when I was like 5 cars behind lol
-
Does look a bit wrong lol I think the bracket that bolts to the chassis might give me issues. Will find out when it arrives, might have to take a trip back to my buddies and alter the pipe work to the back box.
