Thanks, yes I found all of them.

I see three bolds, two at the top and one at the side, those three are the only ones or are there more hidden bolts behind the bumper? The one at the side won't come loose btw, common problem I ques?

Hi, Just a short question, when changing the headlight unit, does the bumper have to come of? Regards, Patrick

Don't be sorry, I thought the cap was a plug sow I pulled at the cable the same time, cap came of by accident I'm gonna wrap my roof because of the hail damage, put some putty on it and made it as flat as possible, same story for the hood. DAP didn't fit or didn't work?

No help needed anymore, the cap came of and underneath is a nut, feeling really stupid now,

Hi, as the title says, how do I remove the antenna? I like to know how to release the cable from the antenna under the interior light module, just pull or.....? Regards, Patrick

Hi, Put some ''new'' wheels on, same style only 2 inch bigger, tire size 205/17/40 7J ET38, fits perfectly. Old situation,

Thanks, No, unfortunately not (just found that out) saw a couple nice ones for less

Hi, quick guestion. Are the taillights interchangeable between aerodeck and sedan? Thanks in advance

Another option I'm thinking of... Is it possible to engage the VTEC from a D16Z6 head with the wire that's activating my current VTEC-E solenoid? I would say yes, only the VTEC will be activated at 3000 RPM (sounds like fun ) because that's the current RPM to activate the four extra valves right now....

Thanks, and the P30 fits my socket?, I don't know what the standard ECU is on a Vtec-e with the d15z6 engine. P07??

Hi all, I'm planning to do a mini-me on my 1.5 Vtec-e I've read a lot about it but two things I'm not sure of, will it run (good) with a P30 ECU from a Civic del sol, or do I need the P28 ECU? And a adjustable cam gear is not necessary because I'm not changing cam only but the complete head? I'm able to buy a complete D16Z6 engine, costs are low because of oil consumption, engine has run 130 Miles. Regards, Patrick

Hi Dave, it's lowered bij coilovers but not adjustable, best thing to do is set it a bit higher, or buy adjustable upper arms, but what i mentioned earlier, it's not rubbing a lot. At normal cornering it's fine, straight ahead also, only the tight (bumpy) corners will give al little rubbing, it's touching de inner fender (plastic) like a gentle kiss

The gap is less then half a inch

195 50 15 is a lot smaller then the 185 60 15 I have, and maybe it's better to put it a bit higher on the springs also, but I like as low as possible. It's not that much rubbing, mostly in sharp corners because the wheel is sticking out of the fender then.

I used the first calculator, it's really a fantastic one!, the new size I have in mind is sticking out the same as what I have now, so it will fit (with a minor rubbing but that's only with fast sharp cornering.

Hi, thanks for the answer, yes the tire is one size bigger then supposed, but ! think the ET35 is also to low, ET40 or higher shut be better. In fact I was wondering if somebody fitted 17 inch ET40 with the mentioned tire, and lowered of course. The difference between 195/55/15 and 185/60/15 is only 7.5mm (in total) I don't think that the 3.75mm makes the difference. Maybe a camber-set is the solution? I'll take a look at the links you posted, thanks a lot

Hi everyone, just a quick question, will a rim size 17 Inch 7J ET40 with a 205/40 tire fit on my lowered MA9? Now I have 15 Inch 7J ET35 with a 185/60 tire and it hits the fender pretty quick at the front (when cornering) Thanks in advance

Rust is indeed not the problem over here, so I think I have to sand it, put a lot of putty on the hood and do my best to make it flat again, then put some (black) wrapping on it. Same story for the roof, let it spray is an option I consider later because it's expensive if you want to do it good. On the other hand, I bought the car really cheap (800 Euro) because of the hail damage, so a little invest to make it good is to consider, the car is like new on the inside etc.

Thanks Dave, Yes I found out that the model is becoming rare, I've bin looking for a new hood because of hail damage, but I didn't found one yet. The starlet I own for 7 years now, bought in bad condition, but made it shine again.

I would say 17 is the max also, 18 will fit with a 195/40 or 205/35 tire, witch is very flat and not comfortable.

Thanks, the powerfilter without the airbox sounds to loud (for me) so decided to put it into the box, and then the idea pops up to create a see thru,

Hi, my name is Patrick, found this Forum yesterday, I own a 1.5 Vtec-e, not the fastest one but drives very smooth. it has only 125.000 KM on the clock. Only put it closer to the ground and made it a little nicer under the hood. Second car is a Toyota Starlet (1985)
