We never looked mate, i was pushed for time after struggling with the d1 nuts. Nath didnt have a deep 19mm socket so a few were chewed up.

Cheers mate, well pleased with how it's come out. They've totally changed the look of the car. Nice to meet you too mate, journey home go alright?

Aye, i've got a deep 19 wrapped in emalgamting tape so it won't scratch the wheels, but sod's law I didnt think to take it with me. Should have just lynched them mate, they're Geordies, they're used to being smacked lol.

Cheers Cue 8-)

I will do mate. There's a local meet tomorrow night so hopefully they'll be a few cameras out.

Picked up a set of Meister R's yesterday, as well as a beaks tie bar. Took the K sports and Cyber speed LCA's off, adjusted the meisters to the same height and fitted them in 35 mins start to finish, getting fast as this suspension changing 8) Had to swap my LCA's for JDM one's as the meisters came from an integra. They're very clost to my exhaust, infact it's touching under compression. I've put a rubber cusion type thing on the LCA for the time being to lessen the damage, if any, untill i buy some UK cups for the meisters. The spring rate is so much better for UK road conditions than the K's. They were good suspension, just quite harsh down bumpy roads. I think that could be sorted easily with some better spring rates. The springs on them compared to the Meister's was a massive difference, a lot shorter and a lot thicker, very stiff spring rates.

Didn't get any pics of the coilovers fitted, was too busy trying to get them on in a dead line lol.

Yeah you do Ernie haha, a harness on a standard seat will stop that though, but it's not as nice as that seat is, i love it.

Cheers Asif, some kind words there mate :top: I need some front upper camber arms, then i'v got everything to go get my suspension set up for fast road set up. That'll be enough money spent on the car for a while, just enjoy driving it :D

hopefully the suspension will be set up sooner than you imagine

too rights you have to enjoy driving it more than working on it

like they say "all work and no play" but it should be the other way with 4G civics

MISSFIRE FIXED!

I must have dislodged some dirt when changing the fuel filter, an injector was struggling under load. I'm having ultrasonic cleaning done tomorrow providing the place is still open when I finish work.

That's next on the list now Fiddy, priority was making it run properly. Such a happy bunny right now :D
