  1. Can confirm these are direct replacement to the existing big fogs. You might need to swap the plug over however. If I remember correctly the front seal wasn't great so I used a big o-ring between the glass and the front screw on cap piece to keep the water out

    Cheers mate, yeah definitely got caught in the act haha. Wife came home and said 'wasn't expecting me were you'.. nope! Sink was black, my hands were black and car parts all over the kitchen 😂

    Cheers mate, will be glad when I've got the painting finished.. currently the bane of life haha. Process so far has been - - wire wheel strip on grinder - soak in deox-c - wash (kitchen sink while wife is out) - coats of hydrate 80 - epoxy primer - top coat Now totally sick of sanding and painting haha. Forgot to mention I've also got a 24mm front arb and 18mm rear arb to fit, along with a modified rear subframe brace for a eg. Excited to get all this fitted and wrapped up

    Jesus how time flies! Hope youre all keeping well! Funny reading the thread back and trying to remember what I've done haha. The interiors getting there.. got some new seats fitted and the interiors been stripped somewhat. Still need to sort the headlining and wrap the pillar trims. Basically de-beiging the car!! In the meantime I think i also fitted a new exhaust.. basically most of a xpower janspeed system from a zs180. Sounds mega, need to get a flyby done at some point. I've got a full set of polybushes to fit also, just need to finish refurbing all the arms etc for them. Rust treating and painting seems to take forever! Cheers, Dan
  6. Hi Ben, The calipers in the photo are for the 260mm front brakes, not the larger 280mm front brakes. Manufacturer caliper numbers for the larger calipers are LCA333 & RCA333. You can use eBay to get the oem numbers from them. Basically the calipers are the same for the mg zs180, mg zr160 & accord of that era, but the carriers differ i believe (ive not checked any fit on an mb other than a zs). I can confirm that the calipers and carriers from the zs180 will fit onto a mb2 4x100 as thats what I'm currently running! If youre upgrading the brakes you'll need to change the master cylinder and prop valve if you don't have abs for it to work properly. My setup is: Honda Civic MB6 brake master cylinder Honda Civic MB6 brake servo Honda 40/40 brake prop valve (46210-S5A-912) Wezmoto Braided front and rear brake lines (700mm front / 560mm rear) MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake calipers MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake discs Cheers, Dan
  7. Ideal glad you got it sorted!
  8. Hello mate, not sure if you've got this sorted - you can use this site and put in your vin number. Then find the right drawing and it should tell you the part number https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/search_vehicle/chassis
  9. 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

    Thank you mate. So happy with how the car is, looking forward to some decent weather to enjoy it in!
  11. 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.

    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...
