  1. Nice parts collection what kind of coilovers are you using?
  2. That would be awesome! The wheels came with the deal on the sale of my eg. Iv put them up for sale as they're pretty chunky. 16x7 buddyclub p1s with 205 50 16 federal rsr track tyres. Bodywork is really good! Can't wait to give it a machine polish as there's a lot of swirl marks.
  3. Pics of the mb4. Rested my vtis front lip on but I'd prefer a standard vti one.
  4. Slight change of plan. Dug up the mot history of the green mb and found advisories on an oil leak and complete underbody corrosion. Recieved more pics and could see a fair bit rust on the arches Quick look through the Facebook for sale adds and found another mb local in dalkieth. This ones the burgundy red colour, years mot, not a spot of rust, reverse sensors and it's the d16w4 vtec model. Going to go for that as its only £50 more than the green one lol
  5. Will probably be later on in the evening when I get it! Will definetly have to get a catch up though!
  6. Il definetly be taking it Dave Im not 100% sure on the colour. It's in musselburgh too so not far. I can mind Daves mb from the Scottish meet and it was fairly nippy, and I remember him saying how good it was on fuel.
  7. Hi guys, going to be getting rid of my eg and getting a green mb Eco. It's got 76k and one owner from new. What's the spec with these engines? Does this model come with a rear arb? Rear discs? Going to view the car on Thursday with good intentions of buying. Already have a vtis front and rear lip here, some eg suspension and hopefully some 16" buddyclub p1s. Any help would be appreciated.

    My eg hatch

    Started on the kanjo theme... I have some some white vinyl for doing a stripe down the rear quarter. Hoping to get that done this week then just the bonnet and roof.

    My eg hatch

    Wanted to do it on the past few cars iv had but never had the balls lol the bumpers not in the best condition so why not give it a go. I just used an angle grinder. Ran a string line then used some 3m blue tape as a cutting guide. theres actually a video on YouTube about the advantages. The drove with a bumper,without and a cut bumper. Cut bumper gave better mpg, thus less drag. Not sure il notice a big difference with my 90bhp lol but I like the look.

    My eg hatch

    Yeah I follow those guys on instagram. One has a carnival yellow eg6 now and the one on the left is a kinda pink colour now. Gave the car a well deserved clean and cut my rear bumper.

    My eg hatch

    Pirates black is a lovely colour! I thinking about something like this... Might see see how much it would cost for vinyl wrap cause that way if I change my mind I can peel it off lol

    My eg hatch

    Lol could easily make another set. The car was "stanced" before I got it but I want to go a different route. Love the kanjo style but not sure if iv the balls to do it lol plus I'd need the power to match the show! You any b series bits and bobs? @dogg1210

    My eg hatch

    It's not bad tbh! I was surprised at how nippy the d16z6 was in the coupe I had. Now have a lot more respect for the old single cams lol pretty good on fuel and it's cheaper tax too. Need to source some mb6 front lcas and arb as the lsi model comes with no arbs.

    My eg hatch

    Hi guys, swapped the eg coupe I had with a mate of mine. Always wanted a hatch and his was a very clean example with some nice minor mods. It's a lsi model so it's only a 1.5. I still have my rebuilt b18c4 but need to source a p28 ecu, vti dash loom, gearbox shafts and linkage to complete the swap. The car came with some bandedsteels that is made. Iv since swapped them for some rota slips,removed some stickers and fitted a standard back box.
  15. Is it a d16z6 you have in your deck @Chandler? What have you all done to it? I have one in my eg coupe and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. Really wanting to boost it!
  16. A friend of mine is heading over to that meet. He's in a red eg rocking some banded steelies made by me!
  17. It's running oem dc2 suspension with dc2 skunk2 lcas. cars currently getting a full suspension strip down. Getting fed up with the constant knocks and rattles lol ordered a full front end polybush kit from strongflex. I have new track rod ends,will get lower ball joints too. Also got a new clutch mc to fit and think I'm gonna ditch the powersteering as the pipes are all corroded. My old coupe had the powersteering removed and I liked the feel. Once the front complete I want to underseal the whole car and have a strip down and bush replace on the rear.
  18. Thanks man. Always loved an angled jap can
  19. Liking the updates mate! I'm always looking at the engine bay to see what I can move/hide. Really want to do a wiretuck on the headlight looms, get the battery in the boot and fusebox in the glove box. Just not overly confident with electrics lol
  20. Hi guys, my deck had the classic heater fault only working on 3 and 4. Coming back from work this morning it's now just stopped working altogether. Would it just be the resistor that needs replaced? Any help would be appreciated.
  21. Looks nice mate! i had the same problem with my brand new bcs on my accord. They replaced them under warranty but was a hassle. For your exhaust is reccommend billy at complete auto solutions! Hes out your way, did have a unit and shotts but I think he's move closer to your way. I paid £250 for a cat back with silencer and I supplied a back box. Uses mandrel bends and tig welds them!
  22. Reference to the 16" dc2 wheels, are you doing a hub swap or got the 4x114 version? I'd love a set of them in white for my deck. I feel 15s are a bit small.
