Welcome to Civic5.com We are the UK's number 1 dedicated website/owners club for owners of the 1995-2000 Honda Civic 5 door MA MB MC series. There aren't many Honda sites that welcome the civic MA/MB/MC range, but this is a site dedicated soley to the M's. We have the largest database of info and tech specs on the M series, and any information you need will be found in this site. We have a dedicated team of moderators, and there's always knowledgeable members on hand to help answer any queries you have regarding your civic M. Ok, a bit of history on the club, and where it all began. The club name was derived from obviously the name of the car, which is "Civic", and the "5" because it is soley for the "5 door". Civic5 originally started in January 2009, on a freeforum and freewebsite domain. Our original name was civic-5 and we were located at this web address http://civic-5.yolasite.com (was originally "synthasite" until taken over by Yola) .Our forum was hosted by youforum.co.uk, again another free site. We were not sure how the club would be received at first, but it became apparent quite quickly that there was indeed a call for a club like ours, and our member-base quickly grew. We had considered buying a proper domain and going onto a proper subscription server, but still weren't sure if the site warranted that. So in Feb 2009, we started our sister site HONDACLUB-UK. This was initially started as a backboard for promoting civic5, as a lot of Honda owners knew people who had civic M's, so would be able to spread the word about civic5. We reckoned we would get more people joining an all Honda site as opposed to a one type dedicated site. So we decided to go for a proper domain and hondaclub-uk.com was born! By April 2009, civic-5 was busy as ever, and we were actually outgrowing the website and forum! We also outgrew Hondaclub-uk, so that site we retired just over a year later. With Civic5, we wanted to be able to have our own design on the forum and the site, a custom theme and logo that would instantly identify with civic5! So the decision was made to get civic-5 onto a proper domain, and a top notch server host. Through contacts in i.t., and also one of my family members, we found a company for hosting our site. So April 2009, civic-5 changed, and civic5.com was born. We went through several custom designs (those who have been with us from the start will remember all the different logos, colours etc we've had!! ), until we reached what we have now. The rest is history! Feel free to browse the forum, and chat to fellow Honda civic M series owners and enthusiasts. Check out our For Sale & Wanted sections for parts and cars for sale, and have a good look through our site. Our Aim/Goal 1: To be the Uk's best M series civic site, and one of the best on the web. (Done!) 2: To give owners of civic M's a site of their own. (Done!) 3: To offer as much help and info as we can to our members & visitors to the site/forum. ((Done! That's why we are the number 1 choice for MA MB MC Civic owners Throughout the UK and the rest of the Europe!) 4: To help the Civic M's gain the respect they deserve within the Honda community. (Done! With almost 1900 (Now over 4000 since 3/4/16!) genuine members, and demand for m series civics on the rise, Civic M's have never been so popular!) We have also had the club featured in the top japanese car tuning mag BANZAI, and a more recent club focus feature in Total Honda Magazine! This has been a major achievement, and has helped promote the Civic M's even further. 5: To have official traders, who can offer our members discounts on any parts/accessories they require. Behind the scenes, we are always in contact with various companies, trying to get good deals for our members, and also trying to give the traders something in return.(Done! We have various Highly respected and well known companies on board now as Official Civic5 traders, offering discounts to all our members. We have also created our own CIVIC5 branded stickers and mugs, and introduced our popular "Civic5 supporter" membership scheme making CIVIC5 a proper club! It's also made civic5.com a one stop site for all a Civic M Owners needs. We have everything covered here. Our members all say Civic5 is the best civic ma mb mc website/forum and owners club they have seen. We are widely recognized by all the top Honda forums. We hope you enjoy the site and forum too, and visit us again soon. Admin team Civic5

MB1 disc brakes (hubs+rotors+discs, 262 mm front – 239mm rear) upgrade to MB6 (282mm front – 260 mm rear) Can it be done?

HONDA CIVIC EJ/EK (Type-r 1996-1998) front grille to MB1 (and MA8-MA9) (pre face-lift). Will it fit? Thanks

Good evening, A friend of mine bought a civic mb2 (1.4) he made some mods and now after putting a p28 witha chip on it, the car cranks but it doesnt start. The key light just keeps blinking. If he uses the stock ecu it atarts right away. What could be wrong ? He shaved the harness lile mines are (mb6) to work with a p28. thanks

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

Found a great deal on a set of -40mm mb springs on the intranet tonight and I'm tempted to order them up. Problem is I plan to upgrade to mg zs 180 shocks in the future but I'm sure in the past I came across some info saying this -40mmMBspring/MGshock setup combined will end up in a total drop of 55mm??? I'll be running 15" wheels and want to keep it usable for everyday mundane family tasks so will this setup be any use? Cheers.

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?

Here is my mb6 just recently got, At the moment it's on Koni shocks and springs, full Nortech exhaust and on 7th of may having my b18c6 fitted will upload more photos when the car is being to show you all the build Rocker cover is actually a lot darker than pictured

Yes, it can be done with a little modification. I think, my refinishing man cut a short portion at the centre of lip, then he joined the 2 pieces and he screwed them directly on the bumper without any problem. The result is awesome!

just got my mb6 civic Very clean tiny bit of rust on rear arch getting sorted very soon And on the 7th of may having a b18c6 fitted from one of my Honda friends using p73 ecu should be a bit more fun then Currently on Koni shocks and springs Toyo proxy which are going asap for ad08r Full manifold back exhaust

I have an MB2 with a downstream O2 sensor plugged into the back of the cat. It is likely I'll need to change the cat as it keeps throwing a P0420 (cat efficiency) code and setting the engine check light. The problem for me is that the downstream O2 sensor sits on top of the cat and the wiring disappears into the floor and I can't see how to disconnect the O2 sensor wiring so that the cat can be removed. It looks like the wiring goes through the floor somewhere behind the centre console. Can anyone tell me how I can access the downstream O2 sensor connector plug? I think there must be an easier way to change the cat than to have to remove the centre console! How do exhaust places do this job?

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!

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.

Hi guys, just picked up my mb6 and I noticed on the test drive and drive home that it's stiff selecting gears. I thought it was maybe the bottom bolt on the short shifter being tight but I just checked and it's ok. It has a short throw as expected but just stuff selecting gears. Any ideas?

Probably been covered loads but can't find it. Can you get a grill for them like mesh ect or is it a diy job

Hi everyone, I noticed since I bought my car, everytime the gas tank is around 1/4 or below, my car has problems in starting. It takes longer to start. Does anyone know if is it normal on our engines ? I have no CEL, I replaced, sparks, spark wires, dizzy cap, rotor, ignition module and fuel filter, and stills the same. 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 ???

Hi, this is my first topic & time on these forums as I have bought a Honda LS 1.6. The car has been modified as you can see from the pic, but the bumpers are made out of terrible fiberglass material. I wanted to know which exterior parts from Honda models I could put on there without making too many adjustments. Sorry if there is a topic already about this but I feel I was unable to get answers that were relevant. Thanks for your help.
