Morning all, I've been in touch with the suppliers of these fiberglass body parts to ask about some wings. They don't do them for ms, but I asked how many they would need to make it worth while. He said for a special order they'd be wanting 7-10 pairs @ £190 per pair, plus delivery. This is their ebay listing for egs... http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231970494058 Would anyone be interested?

Greetings from Bulgaria guys, Here is the story of the MB I'm currently driving. About an year ago I was still trying to win over my girl so I helped her find a car - after some looking around she settled on a Civic and we started looking - my mechanic then said he had a customer/friend that was selling one and it was supposed to be in perfect condition. We went around and around looking at everything was pretty much over 1500 euros and beat down no registration and the one he had was like 1200 euros with registration and everything paid for an year which is like another 150 euros. Car was a Sedan like Hatch - didn't know anything about those variants before - for me the Civic was a 2/3 door hatch. So the car comes along - its hit by a hail storm (there was a pretty big one here in the capital that ruined a big % of the cars) It was not so bad but it did have small dents here and there and one on the windscreen, when we drove it it was like a Cadillac going smooth over everything (little did I know that the shocks were done), the clutch I did not like as it was slow to grab and was high but the mechanic told me its supposed to be like that or they changed it to suit the driver or something - I was not taking any of it but the car was solid otherwise. A/C was working could but only speeds 3 and 4. It had a lot of small hits and dents from the woman that was driving it. They kept telling me it was very well cared for with OEM parts and stuff. At the time I was thinking it was a 90 horses car and the plan was to use it on the highway. Turned out it was 75 but at the time I had a 54 hp car and though it was good to go. Drove it some more - had her drive it and she bought it - took about 2 weeks of waiting for the guy to have time to settle the documentation and since she was from another town the car had to go to that towns county to get registered. The day she got it the car started wobbling - her ex was driving it a few days and a tire popped - it had a balloon on it and that was causing the wobble. I had decided to not let her drive anywhere with those tires as they were already s**t and old - my plan was to buy four new ones as a new car present. After a few talks about it her ex decided to pitch in and we split the bill. All new Vredestein Sports 5s 185/60 R14 - summer was just starting so those were perfect. After a few months I needed a car for a while and she gave me the Civic - the front was severely worn - knuckles, control arms, bushings etc. Fast forward few months I started fixing the car, refurbished the control arms, changed knuckles and needed bushings and it was solid again. Then I got my Audi and the Honda started sitting around - since it was almost winter the car was not very usable on summer tires, one morning I found it damaged, someone had crashed into the right side several times - assuming cause I had like 4 cars on a parking lot in front of the building I live in for quite a while (after 4pm you can't find a place). Even found some clues as to who might be but I had no time to fix it. Car was frozen solid at some point. Winter ended - I bought two doors with the idea to fix it. Drove it for a while again - it runs on petrol and does like 31 mpg which is not good compared to LPG cars. Anyway the front was starting to rattle again - Car had done like 3000 miles after she bought it. No service was done to it whatsoever besides the previous repair. Oil was old AF Changed oil and filter Changed the stereo Then I was again driving my own car and the Honda was sitting there waiting Crashed my 2nd Audi and there we go back to the Honda - since im broke AF its gonna be this or my old ford which I will not even comment, better walk So after getting stuck with the Honda (our main car as im now living with my gf) it started again Changed several suspension parts in the front, did an alignment Cleaned the intake Did a brake fluid and front pad change + calliper cleanup The windscreen started to crack - had that replaced Did the exhaust middle part as it had holes in it already Saved some cash for an old fashioned LPG system - went to get it done - intake is not metal - double up on the money for an LPG injection system - borrowed some money and doing the LPG now Did the intake gasket mod that supposedly unlocks 15hp as there is a restriction plate there - I can feel a difference only at 2.5-3.5 rpm. And now after the LPG gets done ill be looking to: - fix the A/C speeds - change air and pollen filter - get new shocks and springs ( will need help from you guys as I want a stiffer set ) - change the doors that I already have - change two door cards as they are worn AF (got 4 spares) - check why the gear switching is hard and why it gets harder after warm up - change the front right fender as it was also very damaged (have found one very cheap same color) - possible do the clutch (looking into a lighter flywheel) - do a very very quiet exhaust - fix the power steering/power brakes as there seems to be a problem In the DIY section I found out how to fix the A/C speeds and change the pollen filter - thanks for that Things I need advice on: Shocks and springs - I dont want to lower it as we have holes on every street but I do want it to be stiffer. We do not have any MGs here so most options are from another Civic or Rover - looking for any suggestions on this - budged it tight as well. The steering is a bit heavy and the brake has no feel - it stops but sometimes it overstops sometimes it does not stop enough - disks are very shiny so the pads must be hitting right. If someone has seen this or heard about the same issue. Gear changes are hard and stiff - I will do an oil change but looking for other ideas as well. What mods can I do to the engine - read about Z6 intake, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, different ECU - looking to get some power out of it as I have no option of trading up for a bigger engine. Looking for ideas to put strut / sway bars Any and all help will be appreciated. Pictures coming soon as I have the chance to shoot it. It is an MB2 I think - D14A3 engine Regards

Hey all, i have been offered some 17 inch alloys with low profile tyres, I have not been to see then yet, do I can't give any more dimensions , does any of the members here have 17 inch alloys fitted? And if so do they rub on full lock etc??

Hey guys, my my mates got a ZS spoiler witch he's looking to replace/upgrade and he wanted me to find out, if he sells it on, what would he get for it?? if this should be in another section please move it on cheers

adding vit front lip and vits rear lips today, pics will be added

Thought I'd start my thread and show a few pics of the car that's been with me since 2008. I've had quite a few cars in between this including a 106gti, Toyota Mr2 turbo and an Ep3 Civic type R. It's the civic vti that I've always been attached too, probably because of the practically and reliability but the wolf in sheep's clothing thing. I'm always keeping it as clean as I can but hopefully this year or the next it will be back on the road. Changed a few things. From stock suspension to lowered springs to mg zs setup plus the zs arb. Power flow exhaust, various air filters, mg zs skirts, homemade mesh grill, short shifter and vtis alloys. Plus general maintance which I try to do most of it myself. I want to upgrade the brakes and possibly the exhaust system. Will try to dig out an orginal pic when I first bought it with 55,000...now 100,000

Hi everyone, today i went to a shop to remap my mb6 with s2 intake, 66mm tb and full exhaust 2,5". give me some opinions please 205hp and 200 thanks

Vti half leather vti clocks vti centre console with arm rest vti front lip vti rear spoiler vti's fan blades straight through centre and rear exhaust but that's coming off as it too loud cut springs lol aftermarket air filter De-badged and painted front grill

Hey ho. As some people might already know i ran over a badger. So now I need to replace my front bumper, but where can i find one? It shouldhave a "Materialgutachten" (a certificate which we need here in Germany to be able to put bodykits on our cars). I'm searching for weeks but I can't find anything, only lips or stuff for show-cars. Thanks!

WANTED!! any red vti front lip , side skirts to fit my baby!! would like them to be cheap if possible ..i know its a long shot...thought i'd ask any lowered suspension would be cool too, or info on where to get some that will fit mine any help would be great !!

Thought I best move this out of General Chat and start a thread in Members Cars.. I'm bloody shattered lol Have been cleaning all day! More pics to follow, I'm sat in lounge atm with the two front seats on coffee table and a tub of black leather restorer I just keep getting evils time to get dirty! *again*

So I posted (now deleted) a thread recently entitled "JJ's Single Cammer Slammer" with a silver 1.4 MB, Shes gone and I've got me a black 1.4 Sport and a little money my way.. Shes a bit rough around the edges but nothing a little TLC can't fix. Plans are still the same, Lower, Faster and Lighter! but now I have half my work already done (I was pricing up black gloss resprays...) first things first, the giant ships wheel HAS to go... EG/DC2 boss ordered! Vertex wheel will be on ASAP and a nice weighty kn0b It has the half leather seats all round, A Kenwood bluetooth stereo, Vibe speakers. Gonna dig out the DSLR, Autoglym and give the old girl a polish tomorrow!

This V8 BMW might suit someone that's entitled to free car tax : http://www.elitevehiclesalesltd.co.uk/used-cars/bmw-5-series-3-5-535i-4dr-leigh-201604052647828 My heart yearns for such a motor but my head tells me I need one "like a hole in the head"

Have recently bought a vtec-e sport and I got it for a pretty good price but the biting point was/is really high and has recently had a slave cylinder by previous owner so I suspected it needed a new clutch very soon, didn't think it would be quite this soon though.. Clutch started slipping on the motorway this evening..probably because of the 5k rpm fun just before that Any ideas roughly how long these will hold out for once they've started slipping?

Hi guys, New pads and discs fitted to the rears which is nice, but pretty certain the rear right is seized. Pretty much no wear on the disc and it's been over a week! also, the handbrake cable adjustment bit is super wonky. So was looking at overhauling the calipers and cable in a oner. Looking at parts that fit, am I right in thinking these calipers will fit? There's the bonus of getting £15 back as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-OF-REAR-BRAKE-CALIPERS-To-Fit-ROVER-COUPE-45-200-400-240mm-Disc-/371263950968?hash=item56710e5078:g:iIYAAOSwWTRWxVtK it's an MB3 240mm disc. As for handbrake cables, are they always sold left and right separately, rather than just the one cable? And why would one side be more expensive than the other? Only talking a couple of quid here, but surely there's no difference?

Our Honda Civic MA MB MC buyers guide page is back. We have rebuilt the page and it's now ready to use. It can be found by either clicking the "Buyers guide" section of the forum. It's also been added to the main browse menu for convenience. We hope you find it useful. We will also be creating a word document version soon and will add it to our downloads section so it's easy to print off and take with you when viewing a car to buy.

Hello I had a little accident with a badger, so i have to replace my Front bumper. Can anyone tell me which models are similar to the MB3 so i can simply put their bumper on it? Dont know if all ma, mb & mc models have the same dimensions etc. Thanks!

Hi all, I have a mb4 vtec for track days etc I have removed lots of weight seats, sunroof,air on etc now the car sits very high, without the cost of coilovers any suggestions of springs. I have seen many lowering kits but these are on standard weight cars, any advice ???
