#270842 I watched that on monday aha. Watched 1 2 4 and 5 this week >.> The amount of civics in that movie's is amazing! I swear every other car is a civic or teg lol.

Also on the to-do list:

Colour code mirrors, skirts, door handles and the annoying triangle of rust-proofing I have on o/s rear q. Also fix my Door after.

And kingjmack - As it's a PROPER budget build, I couldn't afford a remap and what not, so only went for a standalone fuel management unit [Blox].

Ran out of money this month, but going to be sorting the paint on it and the dent asap. :)


did u have to tune the standalone?
By Boods
#273083 No didn't tune the standalone just left it as is.

Turbos just packed up - this is becoming more and more trouble the more I trty to enjoy it. Boost'll pick up to 0psi from about -20 but not getting anything over that. Wastegate packed up now? >.>

Thinking of getting something RWD instead, standard engine and just having a bit of fun in that instead - probably save me a LOT of hassle too

#274819 shes nice. why letting her go?
By Boods
#274829 Really looking at trying to get into sliding, want to try the RWD game but I know I'll miss my civic and especially the turbo, and there's so much more I want to do to the civic but I feel if I keep spending and spending on it I'll never be able to afford something to slide that's worth it.
By Boods
#283629 Hey guys, been away for a bit - not been sure what I want to do with the civic - got a few different ideas so wanna see what people suggest :?
sorting my craving for sliding this weekend with a real beat up old miata for £300 lol.

Back to the civic -

First of all thinking of:
Banded steelies in bright red
Respray car Satin Black
Camber + new coilovers
Roll Arches [maybe ove-fenders?]

OR:
B16 + swap boost over to the B16

OR:
D16z6 and start building it

OR:
Keep it red
New coilovers
Camber
Banded steels


first things first:
Finish chassis supports
Sort out Laquer Peel
Replace my duct-tape repairs
sort out the Dent in the door + rust treatment
Spray the intercooler black
Spacers on wheels [If I don't do a wheel change]

#285506 Quick update:

Car is now 100% dead. had a bit of an incident on a country road, hit some ice and ended up flipping the car.

Car's a total write off as roof is all fubar, but all the running gear and engine is still fine.

Will get pics up when I get myself a phone/camera.
