Great build. know the feeling with calipers sticking, I too have that trouble.

Hi all I have recently purchased some standard type r wheels. The problem I have is I have been running aftermarket alloys with aftermarket tuner nuts. Have ordered some so called standard ones but im not sure they are correct. The thread seems fine but they look little small and look slightly...

Thats great, cheers for the help bud.

As titled im changing my alloys from 215/35/18 to the original alloys 215/40/17 and want to know is this going to completely mess with my suspension setup or will it be ok till I can get 4 wheel aliment redone .....

Ok cheers mate will give that a look!.

Cheers for all your help will get 5L

Ok cheers will have to hunt it out!.

Can anyone tell me how much coolant it will take from empty? Im going to do a change but not sure how much its going to take!. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amazing work mate. That looks sooo clean, hoping mine will look half as good tomorrow after its detail!. :cool:

Ah I see it was sprayed! my bad didn't read that bit. Have you had a spoiler fitted to yours or seen one fitted? I don't want to get one and it not fit correctly. I have seen one on a red ep3 and from a distance it looked great, only when I got close it looked shocking how it was fitted could...

Be interesting how you get on with the spoiler, its on my want list but people have trouble with the fit and some rattle!. Nice jdm looks tidy :cool:

Welcome mate

Looks very tidy! You enjoying your new v-tec noise? :lol:

good choice of mods mate!. Coming along well :cool:

Really do like the dc5 and this is another really nice one!. makes me want to get one more and more keep us posted :cool:

Nice got some great mods too :cool:

Nice clean car mate. Just got a quick shift and skunk 2 for mine just need to fit, how do you find the quick shift?

Looks nice and clean bet it pulls like a train :cool:

The mods never seem to end lol! Look forward to seeing your progress

Coming along nice mate keep us posted :cool:

Very tidy! Hopefully I will get mugen wing soon :rolleyes: keep us posted

Is the car cold when being tested as you really want the cat to be hot. Have you taken it to anyone else to test or same garage?

Ok so my abs light came on about week ago! pluged computer into it and it said o/s/f weel speed sensor so replaced with one from brakers that they said has been tested. Fitted it today and light went off happy face, well till I took for quick drive as soon as I got off drive light came back on...

Ha as if I have a gsxr 750 k5 lol also my first road bike you will be shocked just how fast it will drag you along. Insurance wasn't too great for my first year @ £800 but second year dropped over half that just to give you an idea.

What sort of bike you thinking of going for? They are nice still don't know how I have a licence still though not so easy sticking to speed limits lol.

Welcome mate Nice clean cosmic do have soft spot for the cosmic gray :rolleyes:

Should be bit of an animal on track, been to load of track days at Snetterton but never took mine on! have been on with my bike and that was mega but always seem to wana sort bits before I take the car on so end up in mates cars. fun but make me want to go on more! not long now though have...

I see!. Would say its a cheap fix as the camber bolts are about £25 but then you have to get aliment done agen so maybe not. Where you thinking about doing track day?

Awesome work bud coming along really well!. Remap is good mod would go well with your lsd. How come you didn't get camber bolts but got camber arms?

My green key light comes on with ignition then goes off after couple of seconds! Then when turning off it flashes couple of times! If thats any help mate

Can you ajust the preload? as might not be set correctly!. There is a ''how to'' on YouTube for the bc coilovers!

Hi all Just purchased some bilstein shocks + eibach pro springs! Looking for some place decent, not too far! who can install them and set up 4 wheel alignment for me. would give it a go myself but never taken apart before and don't want to miss anything.

Nice like the evo rims

Know that feeling lol. They are mega car's keep up the good work bud

Stunning car mate!. Wish mine was that tidy.. :cool:

Different but in a cool way like it.

Nice track weapon mate. Shame about the not starting issue sure you will find the problem.

Looks tidy mate :cool:

Very tidy nice job mate

Nice choice of engine bling mate

No mine is about 94db last time it was checked mate thats at 4,000rpm

I have a 60mm b-pipe with a silencer, de-cat and same sort of back box and its still loud sounds great in v-tec though :D

Looking good! The standard exhaust is tiny isn't it lol. How loud is it?

Another great NHB :lol: nice work mate

Great cosmic mate nice choice of mods too!. keep us posted :cool:

That looks swish mate!. They 18''s?

Its a splitter bud not the whole bumper.

Like it! looks like mine lol :twisted:

Funny you should ask was talking about it today not done one in the car yet have on bike though! But only because wanted to sort brakes out first and thats sorted now so should be soon.

The parada spec 2's are a good tyre in dry mate. Abp say to upgrade to 215! stock are 205 so I would keep it 215 as for your profile i would stay with 40 - 45!. 50 is going to flex lot more. To get the most grip I would get the fast road set up mate makes so much difference turn in is loads...

I have the parada spec 2's too! wet isn't overly great but I find dry is really good. What profile tyre do you have? Im running 215 35 18 I find the ride little hard and would ideally like to go little bigger! 40 or 45 for little softer ride. Do you track your car?

Jealous would love for mine to be that clean lol. Great job mate

very clean mate! Can't make my mind up if i do or don't like the wheels :rolleyes: Good choice of mods though.

Great rebuild liking the colour. charger is next on my list! After my other supporting mods that is. Keep us posted on progress mate

Better get in line think townsend is going to snap my keys when I do lol. They are a great car for the money My car has looked a right state at times! Only couple of days ago serviced front brakes so both sides where in bits for a day lol alloys are in major need of refurbishment too will get...

No points just 60 fine so not too bad. That the one what sits in the engine bay? I loved the sound of my AEM CAI befor remap v-tec sounded so agressive on change over you sorta loose that with the remap :noseblow: Manifold is good mod but think you also need front jdm arb as standared one is in...

Mine was 92 and got a ticket think the limit for uk car is 90 jap limit is 100 I think. YoU got any other planned mods? I'm looking into the Jackson charger at min had car 3ish years now and fancy little more power.

People do say the unscilenced one is loud have you still got standard back box? Was thinking mine was still loud! Keep eye out for pc plod I got ticket in Lowestoft for mine. Be good to meet some fellow type r owners.

I have all that! did you go for the silenced B-pipe? DS2500 are good pads mine smoked like a beast bedding them in but work really well great cold bite too. Will be there bud meeting up with couple of mates first 1 fn2 1 ep3 and maybe a dc2

Dose anyone know the sump plug thread size for the JDM k20A?

I have the JDM K20a so guess it holds little more. The list seems never ending lol! just got 5L Fuchs Titan Race pro s, hamp filter and magnetic sump plug. couple more bits to get before i service her. you sorted that bumper yet?

My old oil looked like muddy water! used: red line synthetic MTL http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Redline-MTL-Fully-Synthetic-70W80-Gearbox-Oil-GL4-/400522534504?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d4100de68 needed just over 2 bottles for mine.

Gutted they going to pay out then? You getting another civic?

I had the same trouble! Got some off ebay like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/70MM-UNIVERSAL-CENTRE-CAPS-CLIO-RONAL-RS-KATO-LEAGUE-VW-/120608628614?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item1c14d59f86 Mine was great fit don't have any pitchers fitted though. Hope this helps

gutted hopefully it will all work out mate. Know the air bag system is very expensive though :-k

Looks tidy like the stock wheels in that colour

Do like the RS4's sound really good on track. We have 2 cars so we use hers for going out with kids! although your girlfriend is into her cars too so don't reckon you could get away with her having the family car lol

Whats next on the car list if your selling the civic? Evo 8MR will be next for me your old one looked nice!

Let the brake dust appear :lol: Trust me i know!

That looks super clean! Can see my reflection from my house :lol:

Great mods be good to see how well it goes with the RBC and manifold fitted! :cool:

What brakes have you got? look big in this picture. Cool build mate love the grids! :cool:

They are 30mm drop mate and to be honest no will be changing to Eibach pro's! mate has set on his 182 and rides so much nicer not half as crashy as mine.

Mine is lowered on apex springs and the only time it has scrapped is driving off mates drive! Don't reckon i could get in multi story car park any more. I would have liked the Gruppe M but not for the £600 price tag lol, some people with the ARC have problems with the welds cracking. Are you...

The splitter replaces the stock one mate had it professionally fitted as things need cutting to fit it. As for the AEM CAI The noise of V-tec is insane after fitting it! Might feel little bit more gain but think its more in your head with the noise lol. I have the k100 so you loose that...

Just found this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-YQrBftvLE :eek: lol

Its the mugen replica splitter mate! makes it look bit more aggressive! :rolleyes: and also have the AEM CAI in the wheel arch, so good air feed for it too. You got many plans for yours??

welcome fellow NHB owner :lol: Looks tidy mate, like the black alloys.

great mods mate! Be good to see new rota's fitted :cool:

where did you get your Mugen replica spoiler? Some people say the replica rattles dose yours? Lovely cosmic mate

Really do like cosmic's! Good mods mate. :cool:

loving this build mate. pulling me away from my supercharger plans! :lol:

How hard a job is this to take out and then fit another? mine just failed M.O.T for play in the rack! They can fit another second hand one for £220! Is that a good price? Im good with a spanner so would do it myself but don't get too much time so how long would it take?

This is a cool photo mate. How much you pay for your eibach's + fitting?? as want to change my apex springs.

welcome :) looks tidy mate

I will give you £10.01 for the seats.:cool:

Very tidy mate good mod's too. I used this for my lights works really well :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meguiars-Plastx-Plastrx-Plastic-Cleaner-Polish-for-Headlights-and-Applicator-/121055706635?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item1c2f7b7e0b&_uhb=1
