Wow, some great bits on this mate! Did you notice any difference with the S2 tie bar?
Thanks man! To be honest its quite hard to say as I had all the suspension / chassis upgrades done in one go. But I will say that I still haven't felt the need for the popular MG ZS Rear ARB upgrade, and I've pushed things pretty hard. I think its safe to say its definitely stiffened things up in the rear.

just a big clean to delete this glue
Started doing this to mine a couple months back, What did you use to get the glue off???
Your Civic is looking an absolute beauty! Love it!

Nice! One more reason I can never choose a favorite car from that era

Then hats off to you sir! That'll be epic. My mate had a r32 gtr looked awesome they hold there money tho
Thanks! I know, that was part of the dilemma knowing that although more expensive, an R32 would be a real investment where as the Supra isn't guaranteed to go up as they aren't as popular.

Yes, f**k the M! Buy a 3.0 turbo supra! Win!
Hahah, I love my MB but I have always wanted a Mk3 Supra as I love 80's cars and they look friggin sexual! I have built and driven a few friends cars before. Originally I was thinking about an R32 GTR, but prices keep going up and I could have a buy a decent supra and do a load of mods for the same cost as a decent stock R32. So Plan is to get the MB to a nice state for my daily.

They are fairly heavy as they are a GT tourer at the end of the day. But considering the power they can put down once modded, a little extra weight won't be such a bad thing

Exactly...see you already know just what I'm planning. I know from research, speaking to the guys from Fensport and working on my friends that 400bhp is achievable without going crazy and that's on a stock block........but I don't want a stock block
Wanna see 700 ideally, 700 from a 7m engine has a nice ring to it.

Granted their turning circle is a bit w**k but I do own an Mb so it can't get too much worse haha. But as above really, it doesn't matter as the whole lot is going to be overhauled and upgraded anyway.

Sound nice like my Mongoose 2.5" well worth the effort makes them really stand out, nice hearing the crossover on A roads aswell Bwaaahhhhhh!
Nice work
Absolutely love crossover now! The looks you get when it comes on as your passing someone with an open window are hilarious.
Need to get working on the exterior now as it could do with some much needed TLC. Same goes for the inside.
So whats next on the list......
- Re-fit rear lip, fix & paint front and rear bumpers, tidy up the rest of the body work and machine polish + detail.
- Fit 2 new headlight washers as the car wash ripped both mine off!
- Skunk2 double bend shifter, Skunk2 knob & genuine type r red stick shifter boot - (Purchased)
- Fit Tegiwa bee sting ariel - (purchased)
- Fit Honda Jazz washer jets (purchased)
- Fit Takata front tow strap and Tegiwa rear toe eye (purchased)
- Fit replacement rear lights (purchased) & find some clear or smoked side repeaters
- Buy and fit PERSONAL NEO GRINTA SUEDE steering wheel & Boss kit
- Buy & fit Custom Skunk2 Floor Mats
- Buy and Fit Cobra Daytona Seats
- Re-trim back seats, door cards and head lining in Black Suede + Fit a load of Dynamat while its all out.
- light tint for windows and rear lights
Once that lot is done I'll look at some more power mods and getting the bay smoothed / tucked and some bits hydro dipped.
Might have to save some cash though as I am seriously considering a weekend toy, something older with boost like this
-
Ok, so as usual I haven't been on and updated things in ages
A week of so after the last lot of work, I fitted my Tegiwa Whales C**k and went down to Cobra Sport Exhausts in Sheffield to have a full 2.5" stainless system built including a de-cat. Cobra Sport were absolutely awesome and the exhaust turned out exactly as I wanted / asked for right down to how it sounded. Can be nice and stealthy depending on throttle position and absolutely screams in VTEC, no annoying drone on the motorway either if you get it just right.
Tegiwa Intake fitted
Exhaust
Also slapped a few stickers on and this little guy after a clean inside

thanks mate
ye got fed up with it being slightly different colour from front to back.
deck is the way to go man
Problem is I want both! And I don't really have much need for either other than to be my daily and weekend toy.
-
I was going to buy a DC5 a couple weeks ago, but decided I wanted to keep my MB6 too much so just cracked on with some more upgrades instead.
-
Engine bay goals, thanks for the inspiration! love a good clean bay!
All looking great dude!
-
Looks sweet! Still love that colour. Is that your DC5?
-
The more I look through your thread and at the pics of your deck, the more I want one hahaha! Can't believe its in for a respray, always thought it looked really good. Gives me hope for mine!

awesome mate!! that's what I like to see aswel is genuine parts and proper parts. not skimping out
Yeh I'm a stickler for genuine Honda parts, tried and well tested. You'll be glad to hear then that the Dizzy cap, arm, rocker gasket, plug seals and even the Trans fluid were also genuine Honda.
-
Cheers! Got most of them fitted on the weekend. Didn't have time for any pics I'm afraid, but its all pretty well documented stuff anyway. A lot of what has been done wasn't in the pics above either.
So on the weekend it had the following done:
1. Lightweight chromoly flywheel with ARP bolts
2. Genuine Honda Clutch kit
3. Trans Fluid change
4. Full Service - all filters and fluids including brake fluid, as well as Iridium Plugs, new dizzy cap and arm.
5. Genuine Honda Cambelt kit and water pump + coolant change.
6. Valve lash check and adjustment (only two on the exhaust side were out by a very negligible amount)
7. New rocker cover gasket and plug seals.
8. Ride height was also raised by 15mm all round and then taken back for another geo setup to fast road spec again at the new height.
9. Cleaned up the Meister-R's, gave them a good greasing and fitted some Tegiwa shock socks.
10. Fitted PIA 4K ultra white bulbs (worthwhile little upgrade for sure!)
Certainly feels fresh, especially after all the suspension work that was carried out just 6 months ago. Gutted that I had to raise it up but the suspension had settled a lot (good 10mm at least) since it was originally done and it was pretty much on the low limit for daily driving to begin with. Plus, Sheffield is friggin pothole and mega steep hill city so it ain't low's friendly.
I'll take some shots at the new height, its been purposefully set a couple mm higher at the front so that it should in theory be where I want it once it settles again. worst comes to worst it will need a 5mm drop or so at the front.
Hoping to get the rest of the bits from the pics fitted this week. Mostly excited for the exhaust system next Tuesday!

@Dave I was going to ask you a while ago for an owners perspective on the FN as my wife really wanted one. Unfortunately, as it turned out it wasn't an option as there just wasn't enough space or access for the rear seats with two massive rear facing child seats! Had her all convinced to take a bit of finance & import an FD2 for the extra doors, was all systems go until I phoned the insurance who gave her a RIDONKULOUS quote! and that was that one out the window, lol. She surprised me when she turned around and said 'Oh well, I'd rather have an EK9"!
-
Looks great mate! Love this colour for an MB6. Should be a beast with a Teggy engine in it! have you gone for an S80 box as well or just the standard SB9?
I'm surprised the Koni shocks and springs lower the car as much as in the pics, looks good!

Progress has been pretty much none existent of late due being busy with work and setting funds aside for another little-one due in June.
However, I've still been trying to puts some cash aside and now its time to get the MB6 ready for summer! And with that said, I had a tasty delivery from Tegiwa Imports today....
Also going to get a quote for a full stainless system from CobraSport in sheffield.
