That looks rather clean. Low mileage as well I bet?

Make a change from the usual silver, blue and green, I wasn't sure but it's growing on me along with the grey leather interior.
Looks clean but rear arches and the rear edge of the sunroof need sorting and wheels need a serious refurb (not helped by me grinding the curb after the test drive). Only 61K though with a full history and receipts for over £2k in the last 10 months for Cam belt, pulleys, tensioners, MAF and Lambda from Power Engineering and a new air con condensor and re-gas. Shane (I can see a change of user name coming up, Red Baron perhaps!)

Not done an awful lot to her in the last year other than drive her and a service. Had a fresh MOT this morning with no problems and then treated her to a new set of number plates. Following the crowd with a standard size rear plate and a 3/4 size front.
  Decat down pipe is next on the list I think and then start saving the pennies for an STI spoiler and get the arches sorted. Last edited by Red Baron; 24-02-2018 at 08:06 PM.

Looking good Shane.
I must order some plates up too. Looks so much better with the 3/4 front.

I hadn't realised it was exactly the same until I saw the picture of yours last night. I tried it with a red border and a red to silver and it didn't look right, didnt like any of the other logos either.

No, it has a Prodrive Backbox but following yesterdays MOT we discovered it's actually a modified Newage one. Not sure when the wheels found their way onto it. If anyone has a V6 Prodrive ECU kicking around I could be interested.
Wheels look even better when they manage to keep hold of their Centre Caps!!! Shane

Well, more expense, just like any other Scoob, spotted this at the weekend:
 So a set of Godspeed grooved disks and kevlar pads going on at the weekend and then bed them in on the way to Brooklands on the Sunday. Going through the paperwork it's had a set of cheap disks and pads in the past from ebay but those pads aren't cheap ones, guess the guy before me put some decent ones in for the track days he did and the disks couldn't cope with the heat they generated. Lucky I spotted it really. Shane Last edited by Red Baron; 24-02-2018 at 08:11 PM.

Did speek to Alyn but was on a budget and got a deal from Godspeed for disks and pads. Pads were in it when I got it, no idea if they're round the wrong way or not but will double check everything when I change them at the weekend

look to be the right way round (otherwise you would see 2 locator pin holes in the pads there?)
Disc looks properly finished! Which pads did you go with from Graham?

Out with the new,in with the old
Picked up a new interior yesterday, leather was nice but a bit slippery and hot when the sun comes out. I must be the only person that fits an older cloth interior in place of a later leather one.
   Should have shed a few kilos as well getting rid of the folding rear seats. Old style is just foam and wire  Loads of metal on the later ones  Last edited by Red Baron; 24-02-2018 at 08:25 PM.

Always nice to have a bit more headroom, part of me is tempted to retro fit classic interior in my newage, I still maintain the classic seats are the most comfortable!

Well, managed a hour or so tinkering time before the thunder storm and finished my DIY PPP conversion.
The car already had the Prodrive back box when I bought it plus the optional Speedline ST2 wheels. First change was the De Cat down pipe, I know the PPP involved binning the centre cat rather than the one in the down pipe but I'm not trying to meet emission regulations, parts to fit it were half the price of the downpipe.  A few months ago I picked up a V5/6 PPP ECU and have been running that for the last few months with no problems, this should peak at 1.1 bar rather than the standard ECUs 1 bar. And finally I picked up the proper Intercooler pipework this week. Comparing the original plastic pipework and the replacement Alloy/silicon combination it should improve airflow through the intercooler considerably.  It's also nice seeing prodrive written on bits under the bonnet  Next stop is SRR next month to see whether I've wasted my money on the ECU or not as I have my doubts over it's authenticity.

Yep, suspension is standard at the moment and the wheels are 17".
Think you were after the cost of the bits for the PPP, not exactly clear: ECU: £100-£150 Backbox: £100 Downpipe: £75 Intercooler Pipe: £25-£50 All prices are second hand obviously and are for MY99/00, not sure if it was available for earlier UK cars. Shane

Couple of minor updates, finally had the old rust bucket dynoed at the SES rolling road day and was chuffed with the results for 15 year old car, running spot on and it's found over 30bhp since leaving the factory.
  Since then it's all been cosmetic other than an MOT Zero Sport slam panel and a set of bonnet lifters   And then today some silicone coolant hoses that I've had kicking around for months and some fresh paint on the alternator cover and radiator brackets  Next stop, rusty wheel arches!!!!

It's a pair Nick, not enough strength in one to hold it up, may get away with one on an alloy bonnet. Have noticed there's 2 types available for the Classic, the ones on Scotts are shorter and mount on the next wing bolt back which means you can keep the rubber bump stops on top of the wings.
Wheels are staying I'm afraid, don't want to go to 18s and not nothing else in a 17 that I like. Not only that, I'm lucky enough to have a spare ST2 in the garage in perfect condition in case I damage one.

Hello Bro. Looks much better with the covers. We can probably make some fog light brackets if you cant find any or they are expensive. Is that a mini grille on the wall at the back?

My latest modification, 1 weeks worth (600 miles) of winter dirt, hoping it will help to hold the rear arches together for a little bit longer
Glad to have the Civic back, cost me over £100 in petrol last week.

Well I washed it, dried it, spent an unhealthy amount of time polishing an exhaust pipe and the made the mistake of having a quick run up the road to dry the brakes out before putting it back in the garage. The heavens opened and now it's dirty and wet again.

Spot the difference
Well I finally bit the bullet and went for it, only taken me 2 years to get it sorted.
Before   After, and this is a long time after, they'd deteriorated a lot since those photos were taken   It had also started to bubble up round the rear of the sunroof so had that cut out and sorted along with some crispy bits round the rear jacking points on the sills.  Think that's enough expenditure for a little while. Shane Last edited by Red Baron; 24-02-2018 at 09:06 PM.

It's coming together slowly, I have a full set of black silicone hoses I may fit and get rid of those white ones, those pulleys need sorting too. The classic engine bay is a lot more exposed than the newage so takes a bit more work to tidy up.

What paint you using Shane as looks a lot better think you need to do the battery tie down just to finish it off .

Out with the old
 In with the new  Had the ARB and drop links in the garage for over a year so though it was about time I did them, especially as the drop links were mentioned on the MOT this year. Still got the front drop links to fit but it started raining so called it a day. Last edited by Red Baron; 24-02-2018 at 09:12 PM.

Nice one Shane should make it a bit more pointy!
The ball joint links are win win rob no need to change them for uprated jobbys they are solid (unlike the plastic C shaped ones on earlier cars that need swapping for metal ones ideally)

Car died on me the other day just after leaving the in laws and refused to start although it coughed and spluttered a bit. Couldn't hear pump priming which seemed strange, after slamming the bonnet shut it fired up. New Fuel Pump fitted which then also refused to prime the fuel lines, much tracing of voltages showed no power getting to pump, managed to locate the pump relay and wiring (I'm going to ache tomorrow after contorting myself in the drivers footwell), shorted the pins which would usually switch the pump and everything sprang to life. Found that the switched 12V supply to the relay was good so relay became the main suspect. Connected relay direct to the battery and got it switching, must have been dirty relay contacts, all ok for now but going to replace it anyway.
Weather didn't help things yesterday  But the wax is doing its job

Well the rear brake lines have all been replaced thanks to JonnyRicer and Whiteline front drop links have just gone on so that's the MOT advisories taken care of along with a service, time for a good clean, polish and wax and then time to get it up for sale
