Nice! Those big fogs still in oem wrapping - cant be many of those about in that condition! Interesting about the 25yr rule in the US, wonder if many other of this shape civics find their way over there.

Looks mint!

Looking good! Loving the lip on the back. The stainless headers look awesome too - did you manage to get them fit with the oem cat?

Looks like its coming along nicely! RE the cheapo coilovers, I'd defo wouldn't risk it with the deck. The extra weight at the back may make them struggle/sit really low!

Hi all, Not sure if anyones seen this - Saw it on a Speedhunters story and thought it looked awesome. Apparently this was built back in May so people may have seen it already!

Cheers mate, yeah definitely improved however its been so wet recently ive not wanted to push it! Being the MB2 it hasnt got any abs so could be interesting

Hi all, Hope you're all doing alright! Long time without an update, Life somewhat gets in the way sometimes haha. In the meantime i've bought a house with a garage which has been ideal for this! So finally got round to fitting the above, general parts list: Disk Rear trailing arms Rear Trailing arm poly bushings Honda Civic MB6 brake master cylinder Honda Civic MB6 brake servo New 40/40 brake prop valve (46210-S5A-912) Wezmoto Braided front and rear brake lines MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake calipers MG ZS 180 Front & Rear brake discs Tegiwa brake stopper 15mm front wheel spacers (tyre kept rubbing the wheel arch on full lock, not good for the MOT man!!) I was proper impressed with the Wezmoto braided lines from ebay, asked them for Fronts 70cm, Rears 56cm and they were pretty much bang on, even came with 2 brackets on each line! Only issue i had was the welded nut for the bolt that goes between the RTA & LCA thread stripped, so i had to snap it off and am now using a nyloc in place. Very happy with how it all is now, next up will be a short shifter and then get round to fitting the rear ARB. Cheers, Dan

Cheers mate thanks for checking. Like you say, I can only assume then that the rear caliper is the same for all disk models, with only the carriers being different for either 240/260mm disks. I guess similar to how disk brakes are on push bikes.

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone knows the part number for the rear brake calipers from either a MB6 or MC2? Lings gives either: 43012-ST3-e50 43013-ST3-E50 but this seems to be the same as other MB's? Is this correct? It could just be im being dim with the lings website.. Thanks in advance, Dan.

Fingers crossed it all works out mate, i know the pain of seized and snapped bolts - The joys of working on 20yr old cars!

Thats a b****r. Any reason why your old spindles cant be swapped onto the new trailing arms?

The spindle for the 4x114 is about 10mm longer iirc.

Looks awesome mate, will look OEM for anyone who isnt familiar with our cars!

Looks great mate, like how the gauges almost blend in and dont stick out like a sore thumb

Looks so good! Definitely worth perfecting it now while its out the car. Will be good to see it once its all sorted and back in the car.

They're looking good mate, suit the car in my eyes!

Agree! They're really nice - what are they?

Great work, proper interesting stuff! Looking forward to seeing it complete with paint on it!

Nice looking car! Enjoy!

Looking good fella, thanks for including the shifter photos too, always helpful for getting ideas/reference!

Cheers Dave. Defo worth getting replacements - oem parts like that are only going to get harder to find (well that's my excuse when stockpiling, I mean buying parts.. )

Quick pic of how its sitting also.

Hope you're all doing alright, 2 Months go pretty damn quickly these days! I did end up buying some degreaser but still havnt got round to doing anything yet.. Some progress elsewhere though - got the rear strut bar fitted and cut the carpet so it fits back in. Pretty pleased with how its turned out, also got some pipe lagging so I can put a bike in the car without scratching it up! Now, I was looking through the last MOT and noticed the rear trailing arms bushing were advisories and the rear drums are looking pretty crusty.. man maths suggests what else for it but do a rear disk conversion (obviously). So after looking for absolutely ages and getting radio silence from loads of breakers, I got lucky and the postie delivers this little load of parts.. (The rear ARB I had before but finally got round to derusting and priming it). MB6 master cylinder, MB6 front calipers, MC1 rear trailing arms, MC1 lower control arms MC1 rear calipers (260mm) I also got some black front seatbelts so should I ever fit some bucket seats I won't have cream belts and black seats! Still up to get is a non-ABS 40/40 brake prop valve. Looking at the parts fishe, my brake prop valve would work alright on a 260/260mm setup (an aerodeck uses this valve with this setup), but im not sure about how it would work with 280/260mm and dont fancy risking it! As my car didnt have ABS from the factory I cant use a MB6 valve unfortunately. I still need to replace all the bushes / derust and paint everything before it goes on the car and that'll take some time. Also in the works is a new 2" exhaust mid section with new centre box. The exhaust is absolutely doing my head in and making me even more deaf! I'm hoping the smaller diameter pipe and a better box will quieten it abit. Cheers, Dan

Dave that looks absolutely dreamy! Improves the bay no end, must've taken you ages to polish and clean everything else too

Sorry to hear about your Dad mate, not nice but hope you're holding up. Welding looks good on the previous page - must've missed that when you first posted it. Ideal on the bushes also! Nice when you can start ticking things off and have no worries!
