Amazing car and color man , love the exhaust as well looks like a quality item . Was looking into that but got the DC full system instead . How does it sound ?

The exhaust is built very nicely, although a bit of work was required to stop the exhaust fouling underneath and to bolt the centre section to the cat. It is quite loud when giving it some but normal driving it isn't too bad. If this was my daily car though my opinion may be different!
 
Managed to get the got put back together the other day, picture quality is poor but you get the idea

Love this mate, awesome work. Really making me turn away from keeping mine standard now. Keep it up
 
Really like this! Rotas look amazing! Just bought a full set of paradas for mine too, best tyres ive driven by miles! Nice work
 
Looks fantastic, What size are the wheels? I wonder as the tyres you have are the same as the ones I am looking to purchase for my evo 9 wheels so just asking to see if they foul at your height.

Car looks amazing though mate, black on cosmic is a great combo.
 
Thanks for for the feedback guys

the wheels are 17 x 7.5 et45 and i have zero fouling at my height:cool:
 
Just got around to reading through the thread. Nice work. Have to say I wish I had the patience to carry out your cleaning regime. Mine is lucky to get some polish!

Next time we meet up I'll take a closer look (hopefully it isn't freezing and raining again).:)
 
Car looks lovely mate. Love the colour. I had a Milano red one a couple of years back and I now have a cosmic grey like you and I much prefer it. Do you notice a big difference to the overall feel of the car with the full polybush kit as that's the next thing I have planned on mine to tighten everything up a bit. Keep up the good work mate

the polybush kit was definately noticeable before I fitted to coilovers, car feels far more positive and geometry is maintained far better compared to standard bushes. I would recommend them definitely even though they are costly and time consuming sometimes

Car looks good. Just need a tie bar to finish off the back.

Im still undecided on tie bars, maybe if I found a small one that was more hidden then I may be tempted.
 
Well I've fitted brand new hsd coilovers and the ride is firm but there's all sorts of rattles and slight knocks which I'm assuming are worn bushes so in gonna change all of them to polybush ones instead. Already fitted new drop links and track rod ends so the only things left can be bushes really. I've had hsd coilovers on my toyota altezza and I find them really good quality for the money so bought a set for the civic
 
Small upstate, fitted some stainless flagged nuts in various parts of the bay to replace the old rusty ones to try freshen it up, also fitted some skunk socks

Pictures aren't great quality, photobucket has reduced the quality hugely for some strange reason

thanks for looking
