mcjacko1987 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 well they deffo made difference on how it runs. feels much smoother n more responsive than it has lately. starting up is still a lil cranky specially in the cold. think the dizzy could do with being changed next. that might help with start up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjacko1987 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 well life with my civic was sadly short lived happened this morning. some wolly a few cars infront must have indicated and braked late because the car infront of me sharply braked and so did the one infront of that. I was traveling at more than a safe distance and was 5mph under the speed limit as it happened, braked soon as I seen brake lights but I just slid straight into the back of the rangerover hence the high up damage. crash sensors wernt triggered due to the hight of it so airbags wernt deployed. me and my missus both suffering a bit of whiplash n had my 3year old lad in the back and he was fine. just screamed when we bumped.bit of a wind up tho as I was the rear car I have to take responsibility even though it was the prat at the front of the que as both the rangerover I hit and the car infront of that both said they had to sharply brake. as for the rangerover. rear bumper was fine, not a scratch but the only damage was the rear reflector on the bumper that smashed. one word to top it off...... gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not sure what your doing to the M but is the engine still alive? You could transform the front end into a EG, EK or even a Integra if you can find any of those breaking. Something different and seeing you do this sort of stuff Here's an MB with a Integra front conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could transform the front end into a EG, EK or even a Integra if you can find any of those breaking. Something different and seeing you do this sort of stuff Here's an MB with a Integra front conversion bloody hell that looks interesting. what would that involve changing? the chassis arm on drivers side of my m is rather mangled so be to much work I think. would love another honda but due to funds il have to take that focus as again cheap off my boss deffo want a teg sometime soon. gutted I never got round to seeing mine with the spoiler on. think il just be stripping it for parts. not had chance to look at the engine but as you see on the pic looks like theres oil. unless thats power steering fluid. not had a good look. had a quick glips under the bonnet and could see the induction kit stopped the bonnet going further back. Induction arm is not bent and the bonnet has gone right up to that. alloys are fine. interiors fine. bonnets deffo had it. bumper looks okish. drivers wing is b****red (stops drivers door opening all way out) passenger wing not sure about. radoator and slam pannel took a beating. the rads are bent back at the top. so looks like il sell what I can n then scrap the shell.I am gutted as I was building up some plans for it. as said though we all ok. still feel stiff necked though. probs feel it in the morning but the car introduced me to honda and I know for a fact im now honda blooded and will get a honda soon enough. gotta grab the focus tho as I need a car, its cheap, as fords go reliable ish, not honda reliable but still better than a saxo or fiat lol. its 5 door nice interior so that will do me until I get a dc2 cheers for the messages though guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Haha I knew this would interest you. Like you said though its not worth doing, but you will get some good interest on the spoiler and other bits & pieces. Sounds like your a Honda man now even though your a owner of a Focus Looking forward too updates on your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
