Amazing reply from SirPaperbag! Just to add ive done this swap on my (non abs) mb2, but also upgraded a few things. My setup is as follows and works sweet: Disc trailing arms off a mc1 aerodeck MB6 brake booster MB6 1" master cylinder Mgzs 180 282mm front calipers (interesting the caliper is the same as from a 97-03 accord, not sure on the carrier) Mgzs 180 262mm rear calipers 46210-S5A-912 40-40 prop valve Regarding the rear arb - the rear brace that SirPaperbag mentions won't fit without modification. DeLaSoul mentions it in his build thread - if I remember correctly the mounting points where the LCAs mount to the chassis are about 8mm narrower on our MBs to EKs

That's a b****r! Glad youre getting it sorted. So lucky it's not worse though!

Thank you mate. So happy with how the car is, looking forward to some decent weather to enjoy it in!

It all looks so good! Must be pleased with it! How did you wrap the pillar trims? Spray adhesive then wrap the fabric on it like you would with vinyl wrapping? Really similar to what i want to do! Dont suppose you've got a photo of the interior, looking into the back from the front doors please? I think i've seen one like this on aliexpress - called a billet shifter if i remember correctly.

Looks awesome! the CRX seat suits it so well

Whoops, hope these work haha. Got round to fitting most the parts - also fitted a k-tuned rep short shifter with a stainless weighted knob which makes the car feel so nice to drive - will get a photo soon. Me and my wife have also had a baby so time and money to work on the car are in short supply!! Next steps are to get the interior sorted - really want to fix the headliner, and seeing Kaleverada's thread has me inspired for the pillars! Also really want to strip out the back, tint the windows & fit bucket seats...

Hi guys, really need to get this thread updated - alot been going on in life and the car! Haha. For now, heres a photo of how the civic sits - its still alive! Hope youre all doing alright. (Sorry photo upside down doesnt want to go right way round!!) Cheers, Dan

Same venue again this year guys, Mallory Park on 13th August: https://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/223403/retro-rides-gathering-august-mallory Id be tempted to try and go this year if nothing crops up

Cheers mate, im so looking forward to getting it all sorted! Yeah it was such a good event, so many cool vehicles there. Had about 3-4 M's there which was awesome to see. I've got some photos somewhere so when i've got abit of time i'll put a post up in the events section. They do a retrorides gathering event also which looks just as good and is a little more up country.

I used abit of ply and some 'L' brackets. Have to remove the seat runners then bolted the L brackets to the mounting holes (where the torx bolt is in the top photo) Used this seatbase from ikea also: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/oerfjaell-chair-frame-swivel-black-70450909/ Theres probably a better way of doing it tbh, its quite high even with the chair being at the lowest setting!

Hi guys, I guess just abit of a safety announcement? I've currently got a spare seat and noticed the below crack on its drivers seat base! (right next to the mounting bolt hole) Obviously I don't know if the seats were abused previously but thought i'd flag it up incase it was age/fatigue related: Note: It didnt affect my plans for this though : (apparently its not allowed in the house and must stay in the garage haha)

Hi guys, Time flies eh! Cant believe its been a year since i've updated this. Essentially the cars been great and I've just been enjoying it! Been slowly collecting parts for various upgrades and will be fitting these at some point soon: - Carbon Tegiwa Power Chamber/Whale intake (Just need to get a new filter for it) - Rota Grid rep alloys (Waiting for my tires to wear down, seems stupid wasting money swapping tyres over!) - D16W4 engine (so excited for this, just need to finish breaking the donor then will be giving it all new belts/new oil pan etc) - New Alloy radiator & silicone hoses - New Torque mounts - Reverse camera - New amp & speakers Im also planning on trying to learn how to 3d scan - a family members recently got a 3d printer and my tweeters are slightly too large for the hole in my door sails... can you see where this is going? Essentially i want to 3d scan, then modify and print off some door sails with larger holes. Thats the plan but i have a funny feeling i'll waste a load of hours trying this only for it to look utter sht! Lots to come so will be updating the thread in due course, hopefully not in a years time..! In the meantime heres a pic of the car at the Retro Rides Weekender at Goodwood back in May: Cheers, Dan

Probably just a matter of brute force but id be worried about the plastic snapping or similar! Could always use some penetrating fluid like you would with bolts to try get rid of some of the crap but it could discolour the plastic so im not sure?

I cant take any credit, it was this guy that found them, got some close up images of the lights aswell:

I would imagine heat would help but i dont know of any tricks or anyone whose done it before. If its beyond saving you can still get replacement lamps on ebay, but theyre not bosch and ship from the US: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392038428811?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1ouKfcuWQBO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=d-k9ZEaNTZm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Theres someone on here who has ordered a pair but i cant remember who it was - had a aerodeck though
