Sad times for the wee mb4 mate, she was looking superb at the last meet/run. Really liked that civic, reminded me of Ruby.
But,..........nice one on getting the deck!!!! So glad youre staying with the civic M's! How the hell did you find that for £185????? Need to bring her down for a wee photoshoot withh DD! Liking the plans you got for her.
Above all, glad the mrs is ok mate. Know the roads up your way well and theyre a total night mare.....pot holes, blind bends and really narrow. Glad she walked away from it, and testimony to how these civics, given how old they are, still protect us well. plus the fact she still get her home!
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.

Speak to Jamie Mullen at Mullens coach works down at port seton harbour @Dave. He's really good and works on some high end cars!

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

And yes yes I need new number plates lol

That was a brilliant meet! I miss the St Mary's Loch runs
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

Got these, not sure how helpful they are to you.
Can't remember if it was upside down at this point
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.

Jeese! Didn't even know they were still there!! Might go down for a wee nose around.
They have a lot of cars in ATM! Didn't see many civics though but I didn't check the whole place out.
You and the missus should take a run through to humbie in the deck and come for a coffee

Also got the front arches rolled today and fitted the front koni shocks. Not driven it yet so will leave the excitement till tomorrow lol. Hoping the rear arb will fit as I had to guess the pipe work when building my exhaust. Just gotta hope there's enough clearance. Anyone got a picture of a mgzs 180 arb fitted on a mb?

where is that mate? Doesn't look like SCB. Those rear spoilers do look good eh!
It's Paxton scrapyard beside the east fortune market

Thanks guys! Went to the scrapyard near me yesterday and found a silver mgzs. Unfortunately it was just a 1.8 version but I might return and get the spoiler and sideskirts. I would prefer the vtis sideskirts and an integra spoiler but I'd rather get them local to save postage costs. I did however find a mgzs 180 breaking on eBay and iv paid for the rear arb from that.
