Daytime pictures! Hellanotflushatall.

That'll be arranged sometime in the future. Aiming for a nice drop, I'd like to not hit my sump on the speed bumps. Cheers guys. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I'd love them if they're 16 inch.

Wheels are on! Shame it was pitch black soon after I got them on. I'll take more pictures when I can.

I don't see why you're upgrading the speakers when your car sounds that good.

Yeah, at least I get to start 2014 with new alloys eh.

Well I got my jack and axle stands but because my driveway and road aren't level I need to find somewhere to park up and change my wheels over. Trouble is it's now pitch black outside so I'm going to do it tomorrow. Ah well at least I have everything I need now.

No real updates on the MB3 so far, hoping to get the alloys on today though! Just waiting for Halfords to let me know when I can collect the trolley jack I ordered. Also had a little meet on Sunday in Northampton with some friends. Did 540 miles in my MB3 that day and it didn't miss a beat once. It's just developed a rattling noise under the car which I believe is due to a broken exhaust mount. Took the wheel trims off because I thought I'd have my alloy wheel nuts that morning. Nopes. Friends' Paseo, 325i and EK4. Didn't know the EG driver. Dirty car club. I'll get pics up once the alloys are on and the car has had a wash.

I have the usual breather hose and air sensor, so I'm good there. I didn't remove the standard intake hose to measure the throttle body but it looks like the silicone steps down to the same size as the standard hose anyway. I think I'll grab this induction kit then.

Yeah, just hoped I could get some confirmation is all.

http://r.ebay.com/hm6UPt Has anyone used this induction kit on their MB before? Does it fit without modification? I bought one of these kits for my EU7 and had no issues with it, but the ad clearly stated it'd fit my car. This kit only says it'll fit an EK 1.4 and 1.6 but if it fits a D16 it should fit my D15 right? Also if anyone knows some cheap alternatives that just bolt in, I'm all ears.

Wait, the clock lights up?! I've been in a few MA/MB's and none have had the clock light up.

Deal and a half right there. Get it fitted ASAP and let us know how she handles.

The green tints make it look really evil.

Pat yourself on the back, that's an absolute bargain given how clean and looked after that Aerodeck is.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get on that.

Problem, I don't have a link to the shop on my main screen. Is it because I'm still a new member? Edit: Ah, that explains it.

Ah! Where do I sign up for that?

Since collecting the wheels nearly a week ago, I've found out that they're actually ADR Racing Phase 1 wheels (same wheel, different brand) and that ordering things around Christmas time doubles delivery times, so I'm still waiting on spigot rings and wheel nuts. Also any idea where I can get Civic5.com stickers? I don't see any store links on the forum but I've seen them on other members' cars. eBay isn't helping either.

Sounds like a plan.

Yeah, maybe the next freebie sticker I get can go above the rear window. Yeah I think so too. It's supposed to be purple but it looks pink in photos.

Anyone noticed how happy MB's seem to look from the front? Or maybe mine is just happy to be receiving some alloys. I need to get the bumper brackets looked at. One side appears to be lower than the other. You don't really notice it until you see how it's kind of close to the bonnet on one side, but nowhere near on the other. Anyway I wanted to see how the Civic*Scene sticker would look on different areas on the car but it's too windy for that (nearly lost my sticker to the wind!) so I just stuck it to the inside of the windscreen to get an idea of what it'd look like. I actually really like it in this location. It should go on the passenger side but I didn't want to be standing in the middle of the road to take the picture. Tried it at the top too as suggested, but I think it looks a bit small up there. Also the mirror was in the way so I couldn't mount it any higher inside, otherwise I'd have it right at the top. And this is my pimpin' boot light. One of the previous owners must've lost the glass cover for it. I'll have to find one at a breakers or maybe someone on here has one spare?

Nice to see another Baikal Green MB3 on a budget. The yellow bulbs look great, really suit the colour of the car. Are there any downsides to running 90/100W bulbs over the usual 55/60W?

The D16 manifold looks so much better in there. Do you have a D16 cat for MOT or are you putting the D15 manifold back on when the time comes? I'd like to upgrade my manifold but I'm wondering if I'm better off getting the entire D16 exhaust system along with it.
