I think the water pump died, causing it to boil all its coolant and cause catastrophic head gasket failure. Could've caught it if I could work out why my dash isn't working, but alas, that gremlin is still a mystery, so I might be swapping a complete engine bay loom.

Afraid not, too busy enjoying the experience to even think about filming anything. Hopefully get some later in the year when I go back. On another note, its broken again, hopefully picking a donor car up this week

Aiming for sub-9 this year

Definitely worth it @Krzys, I'm going over again at some point this year. @dmrichards car was great. Definitely needs a rear anti-roll bar though Go hard, Nurburgring was my first ever track experience, 9:52 on a damp track with two yellow flags was my best time.

@Dave absolutely brilliant. Ferry from Dover to Dunkirk, then through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany down to the 'ring. Car performed well considering the punishment it took whilst over there, but I'm definitely picking up the pieces from it now with various niggles appearing

Slightly overdue an update. Replaced front discs and pads, went for DS2500 pads and MTEC discs. Meister R's sneaking in the background too Then she went to the ring. My first ever experience round a track. Small Honda meet down the New Forest, was good to see such a variety Matt

By my standards, not very low at all (check my thread for my MB2). I think a combination of crap coilovers and a bad bit of luck did it, mixed in with naughty speeds.

The floor. Was going for a spirited drive, went a bit quick through a small dip and the gearbox smashed the floor under full suspension compression.

Well, this was the damage done But she's back on the road now, with some new shoes Next up, replacing the ProSport Coilovers with a set of Meister R's

Eventually, yes. And the fact that how low it is has caused me to destroy the gearbox case already Oops

Cheers, not going too low, want to be able to use the power. Will probably end up being stripped out with just a couple of bucket seats.

I just cant stay away from Honda M's it seems, after 8 months or so of driving boring diesels since putting the G99P MB2 into storage, I seem to have acquired an MC2. Couldnt really say no for £600 with a few mods already. Just need a quieter exhaust so its legal for track days Matt

So, where do I sign up to MB Civics anonymous? I've bought another Matt

Yeh thats when Ricky had it. And yeh, known Dunlop from RC cars, now he makes my silly exhausts! MB2 currently looking like this. Wheels soon and bonnet raisers being removed, plus another silly exhaust! Matt

Little update: MB6 had a few issues related to oil starvation Sold MB6, bought a VW Golf Cabby Golf broke. Realised I didnt really like it Bought my old G99P MB2 back Would put some pictures up, but this new forum is confusing and they're not working Matt

Personally I think 17's are too big, especially if you want to lower it by more than about 30mm This is how my old MB6 sat on 17's with a 35mm drop, rear tyres did occasionally scrub And this is how my old MB2 sat on 15's with a stupid drop Matt

Nah, not with this. Sensible racecar that said, the MB2 was meant to be a sensible daily, so who knows with this one

Boot floor where the impact was is split/crushed and there's a split in the roof by one of the boot hinges. After a couple of days, the boot decided it was no longer going to stay closed too, so its a bit twisted too. Was good to see you and Brie, hopefully next time the car will be a drop lower and a little bit noisier Only photo I have so far, petrol station shot from the journey home, with my transport down to collect the car Matt

Yep, picking up another MB6 tomorrow to replace this one. Swapping all the good bits off this one, then it's being broken shame really, was solid underneath and undersealed recent, just a bit of rust on the rear arches. Matt

Swear this MB6 is cursed. In the 1600 miles or so I've driven it, I've had all the aux belts fail, I've hit a deer and blown the first engine. To top it all off now, just 1 week after passing the MOT (no advisories!) my mate crashed into me. On further inspection, its a lot worse than it looks. Picking a new one up Thursday Matt

Few updates Took the MB2 to a few meets, had some photos taken Did a flame Then sold the MB2 Dropped the MB6 off at a mates garage And a few days later, she was home with a new heart. Now just a couple bits need sorting for MOT Matt

Went to Imperial Media meet in Farnborough a few weeks back, loads of attention but not many pics or videos. I did get told off at one point for making too much noise Next on the agenda is rolling arches, ARP extended wheel studs and some spacers of a thickness yet to be decided, but possibly 10mm. Then, custom stiffer springs so I can lower it more and get it sat level Matt

Matt

Cheers I would say so, as far as I'm aware they're the third set in the country the other two sets being on an EP3 and a Polo 6N2. Now I just need to cut some stuff up to drop the front another 10mm or so Matt

So the wheels arrived And then the tyres went on And then a test fit. They look even better than I imagined And then I realised they sent me 3 with silver inserts and 1 with gunmetal inserts Matt
