    Went to have a look at my brakes today as the brakes are not very good and when I took it all apart it appears my drivers front caliper is knackered. I can't get one for a few days but I looked and saw that they have my ZS 180 callipers in stock. Could they fit the same carrier and discs and pads etc Thanks

    It was street racers I went to, been going there for years and the owner is a top bloke, always happy to offer advice and has years of experience in tuning jap cars. Ooo good to know I'll change it to mc2 later on thanks for that. Yeah I saw your post about Coilovers, I'm not on a budget but at the same time I'm not going to be silly with money. If rather build it strong than build it twice. Done that before! Is the rear arb off the mgzs 180 only? Thanks

    Hello all, I’m new to the forum so will give you a little back ground about me, Spent years playing around with various cars, bikes quads etc and never really had anything very fast. In the summer we went for a rolling road day at a tuners in Leicester and got talking with the owner and he convinced me to build a civic turbo. So when I left there I spent weeks and weeks searching the internet for information on Honda’s, let me tell you if you’re not used to Honda’s its very confusing with all these Ek, Eg, Ej, Mb, Ma, etc etc I then came across a lovely clean Mb6 Aerodeck 1.8 Vti and thought would make a great sleeper, as well as coming with Lsd, 1.8 Dohc as standard. Got the car for just over £1300 with full extensive service history so I was quite pleased in the end. I then took the car to the tuners for a rolling road for a health check and power run, It made 163 Bhp which is not bad considering its only lost 7 hp in 15 years, ( and has a slight exhaust blow ) Once confirmed that car was ok to start building i began to write a list of parts needed, based on what i got told i needed and normal replacement parts such as cambelt kit etc. That list over the last 6 weeks has just got longer and longer. I planned on getting it to 300 bhp, and then wanted to make sure the engine was strong enough to be used on a daily basis and now we are looking at making it a 500bhp car. Thanks for looking more pictures to follow
