Looks pretty cool Floydy boy, looking forward to seeing the new wheels and what-not. I want your seats and harnesses.

Ta - what's your next fitment going to be like? I like the rear of yours in the shots up the top of the page, not so keen on the front. Too much poke! :P

[Counteract]

Yeah, I explained it all on CL but I don't know if I put in here too. Basically:

The wheels fitted are the 8s front and back, with 20mm adapter spacers (as the wheels are 4x114)

If you look at the back, it sits pretty nice. You take off 20mm of the spacer and add 25 (both wheels are ET20, 8J fronts and 9J rears) so it will be 5mm more poked.

My friend swapped his hubs already, here's how the 8s sit on his:


I will hopefully get the arch scrubbing the tyres though! Plus the new wheels I'm looking at are 1/4 to 1/2 and inch wider front and back

That pic above looks perfect to me... Can't wait to see it though

Nice bro! Thought this was gonna be another stickerbombed piece of shit, but it looks tits! Im lovin the shifter, great work in the interior too! Did you wrap those door cards yourself in Bride fabric?

[Counteract]

Yeah man, I bought it from ebay. Was about £60 and I have a load left over, just not sure what to do with it!

It wasn't too hard to do either, although the spray glue I used has started to stain the passenger side one a little. I cut myself and stabbed myself pretty badly doing it but it wasn't too hard. If you want, I can try to dig out the guide I used?

I wrapped my ABC pillars back when i had my old MK3 Golf, thats why i asked Looks like a pretty decent job you did! It can really be a pain in the ass when doing it for the first time! Had my issues with bad quality spray glue too

So what are youre plans for the Civic??

Oh, you could send me small piece of that fabric so i can cover the seat of my Suzuki Streetfighter that i'm rebuilding over winter

A, B and C! That sounds awesome! I would send you some material.... but, naaahhh haha, I think I'll do my glove compartment or something like that.

The current plans are to get it ready for its MOT, I need to sort a plate out for the front bumper and pray to god that the horn passes. When I swapped the steering wheels I accidentally broke the standard horn twisty thing, so I have a dangerous (but actually very safe) looking red wire wrapped around my steering column!

If it passes, I'll whack my clocks in straight away and get it taxed and insured so it will be my daily, then get the hubs swapped and just leave it like that. Paint the bumper and sort a few dents here and there also.

It looks like I may have been beaten to the engine, but I will have to wait until Sunday to find out. If I don't get the B18 then I'll leave it a 1.4 and just drive it. I'm not a huge fan of the insurance costs that go with a silly engine, so I would just daily it and save up for something awesome.

The worst thing is, I got offered a four door R32 Skyline last night for a really good price! This one:


If I didn't have the Civic, I would get it in a heartbeat, the guy knows how much I love it! I even tried to get my Dad to buy it!

[LeeLee]

You have a Civic, which automatically makes you cool!

Nice progress, keep up the good work!

[P78]

good stuff

[Counteract]

Thanks guys! glad you like!

I'm hoping to try my friends new wheels on this weekend, he bought some 7.5 and 8.5 banded G60 steels for his Mk2 Golf. I love it so much!

We once tried my Meisters on it too, here's how it looked up front:

[Counteract]

I'll be updating with pictures at the weekend, of the Civic on G60 banded steelies!

Until then, news that I have acquired some new wheels...

[Counteract]

G60 banded steels are awesome. On these 15s, I was frame scraping everywhere. It's boss as fuck.
