Same thing with my MB6. Water gets in the left side like in your second picture. Next to that white "ventilation" thingy.
-
Does DC2 integra steering wheel fit MB6? I've read they do but does the airbag work/connect? Also i've come across Honda Logo GA3 srs (1998-2001) steering wheel. Would that fit? I wonder what kind of steering column it uses. Could it be eg civic based or ek for example? How many different "specs" honda has i wonder.
-
Where did you get/buy that plastic L-curve? Dimensions? Does everything else fit normally to MB6?

Where do i find part 91319-PR3-003 the vtec solenoid oil pressure o-ring gasket? I looked online and found only some from US, Japan and Russia. I'd like to find from Eu region. Tax and customs stuff... 36172-P08-015 and 15825-P08-005 also needed but those i can find but would be ideal to find everything from the same shop. Give me links please where to buy. I live in Finland, not in UK. I suspect my VTEC solenoid is causing oil burning/spilling. Thats why im asking. Anyone here changed the gaskets before? I heard its common problem with some b-series engines.

Best prize/perfomance/durability/quality ratio? I've heard Blue print makes good aftermarket parts for Japanese vehicles especially. Should be better or same as OEM they claim. Ferodo? TRW? Delphi? Bosch? Also should you ever use different pads with different disc brand? Or different combo in front vs rear axle?
-
Has anyone here bought new aftermarket front fenders for their MB6? Or just got used ones from scrap yard etc. ? I was wondering if the aftermarket ones fits directly or if there are any seam gaps, if the headlight and bonnet fit to it properly etc. Things that can go wrong. Diederichs makes them but couldn't find those. I got myself Polcar ones. https://catalog.polcar.com/#!KatKatalogGlowny/fender-front-381102/492184 Should i try fitting them first before getting them painted at a shop? I was thinking of putting them on later in spring. But could get them painted already. Any bodypanel/exterior info would be welcome in this forum. Considering aftermarket parts especially.
-
I suppose the aftermarket one isn't safe to use with OEM wheels. Sitting of the nut looks so different.
-
Are they 60 degree cone design or what? Can someone show pictures? I have old rusty ones which aren't originals.
-
How did you get rid of the booming/droning noise? What kind of muffler? What was the size of that magnaflow? inlet and outlet piping size? Length of muffler? I wonder if free flowing mufflers always drone on Hondas... All aftermarket/Universal ones seems to be freeflowing. No sound deadening what so ever?
-
What is the stock/OEM pipe diameter in MB6? 2.0 or 2.25?
-
Does anyone have supersprint (923125) silencer in their MB6? what is the diameter? 2.25? 2.5? I have 2.5 piping at the moment. Muffler/silencer should ideally be 2.5 too. Supersprint seem pricey but i suppose it's a quality product? Sounds are usually fine too but what about on MB6? Anyone here had one? Too loud? Booming noice? "Ricey"? I don't want too loud but some sound would be nice. Current one is too booming under hard gas or high way speeds in general. Any suggestions? Some magnaflow oval? What are the specs for original exhaust system with MB6? Pipe diameter? Never had original in mine when i got so it would be interesting to know.
-
I actually kind of like that seat and door card coloring. Seems unique compared to average cars of today. Isn't that surprisingly rear feature in these cars? I only know that some 1.6 versions have that interior.

15x7.5 et30 and 185/55R15 tires on those pictures. Slight stretch on tires. I could maybe pull off 195 but it could rub on the rear. Rolled and pulled fenders and rear arches. No camber. You should be fine, but might have to roll the lip from rear arches to avoid any scrub. Maybe you don't have to. Can't guarantee it. et30 with 7.5 wide wheel is pretty much the maximum with stock camber i'd say. With 195 tire you probably won't have to roll arches or add camber. I'd like to avoid camber too. Very slight can be okay even look wise but tire wear would still be nightmare probably... 7 should be ok with 38

If you can find JR7 or JR4 cheap, they should be okay for track i believe. Of course not as good as Enkei rpf1 etc. but still. I have tf2 and they outperform oem wheels on MB6 in my opinion. I haven't really pushed my car but it is more stable at tight corners. Only minus is i have 3mm spacers at front because of caliper clearance... Should fit to MB3 straight on because of smaller brakes. TF2 has some nice dish and they still seem pretty practical for spirited driving. If you fear on built quality, i'm happy with mine. Altough i haven't raced them. Also i'm not sure if they're the lightest wheels around but should be okay with 15's. I had similar deep dish wheels to tf2 on my 88 CRX and it handled superbly compared to original wheel specs. 15x7.5 ET25. That seems fine spec for old civics. Handling and stance/look wise. How about Rotas? BM8 15" 8" 4x100mm ET10 Rota Kensei 15" 8" 4x100mm ET0 Rota Zero 15" 7" 4x100mm ET35 Rota OSR 15" 7" 4x100mm ET35

SKUNK2 should be good if you want quality. HARDRACE ones should be ok too. BLOX Racing too? US-Racing or similar if you're on budget. I run stock arms so i don't have experience. I had Skunk2 coilovers on my CRX and i have nothing bad to say about those. Quality products.

Problem solved.

Hey! Has any of you heard or had any MAXGEAR wheel bearings? http://maxgear.pl/product-range-drive-o106.en.html I can get those for 30 Euros (rear axle) from webstore. Others are: Japanparts at 47 Euros. BTA 52 euros, OPTIMAL 78 Euros. SKF 75 euros (supposedly OEM quality). What wheel bearings should i get? Have any of you heard of any of those brands? How much would you pay for that part yourself?

Here is contender number 2 (Carbon look): RED: BLUE: Some Googling:

I have to agree here. I haven't been a big fan of those new aero style ones. They seem to be very popular these days, you see them on every car basically where i live. It's become mainstream and that reason alone i'd avoid it. It has basically "outdated" the traditional wiper blades. Aero ones are good, no doubt. But like you said, i would use them on modern cars. Also the aero blades look pretty much all the same regardless of manufacturer. Bosch ones probably stand out the most in a good way.

i've heard MB6 has thicker front (26mm?) and rear (18mm?) swaybars than "normal" Civics. Where can i find bushings? I'm looking at Energy suspension ones (i prefer polyurethane if possible). Where should i buy them? I could'nt find 18mm rear from energy suspension which would be direct fit. http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/16.5110 Can that fit rear for MB6? I'ts meant for front but tha size is correct. Is it possible to fit front sway bushes to rear? They shouldn't be that different, right? Both are D-shaped right?http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/16.5130 I found this for front. But the rear is questionable. And i should find those from European store to spare in customs and shipping costs... I need quick answers. I can find those part numbers from AKR perfomance (30e shipping costs)

A bit odd topic perhaps but bear with me Does it matter to you guys what kind of wiper blades you use? I think that especially in older cars (pre 2000's mainly) it can make some difference like having nice set of wheels. Small detail of the car but still. Now i've been looking for Sumex Stainless steel wiper blades (chrome). Seen lots of those in british web stores (Ebay, Amazon). Since lots of those are sold by UK stores i wonder if they fit left hand drive vehicles? Since the wiper blades goes reversely. Anyway i used to have Ashuki spoiler wiper blades in my old -88 CRX and they looked pretty nice. Blended in nicely. Not too showy but okay addition in terms of style and practicality. I loved the design. Simple and good looking like the old Hondas from late 80's. Decided to bring this issue up just because im curious if anyone in general pays any attention to such details. Or is too ricy Sumex: Ashuki:

This might come a bit late but ET wise it's just fine. 16" wheels right? Should fit okay, but caliper clearance is the biggest issue with MB6 i think. Not always just the ET or how wide the wheel is.
-
Yeah, it's sorter out. And did use willtheyfit.com. TF2 wheels can be fitted to MB6, but 3mm spacers needed at front. Rolling the arches is a must and maybe slightly camber if you wish to run anything wider than 195. I have 185/55R15 now but 195 is ok. 205 might need more camber. Thanks for tip anyway. So if anyone is wondering if 7.5 wheels with ET30 fits MB6, yes it's perfectly manageable with archwork and tiny bit of camber and/or tire stretch. Not much though.
-
Do you guys think 185/55R15 is fine on 7.5 rim? My registration document has 185 as optional for 15". Although original 15" wheels are 6" wide. I need a little stretch because my new wheels come 10-15 mm. past the arches. Also i need 3mm spacers at front. Those big calipers of MB6
