    Don't mind the steep driveway...
    But I guess this is how low I want to go, at least two of my wheels where in the place they are supposed to be in :P
    Grill dipped btw, I'm always surprised how much of a difference it is, when the grillframe is just blaaaaack...

        To give you guys some updates:

        Car is still alive, I had a friend of mine give the car a good polish.
        Next I had to change all my drive shaft collars, I was afraid to do the job,
        because most of the bolts I had to undo were rusted...
        But all of them came lose without any problems...

        I also noticed, that some of my engine mounts were fucked, so I ordered some new ones,
        made by Hardrace, along with new bushings for my rear trailingarms (also by hardrace).

        Oh, and I replaced my broken driverside mirror! I finaly managed to find a painted one!


        Next big thing on my shopping list are 2 new winter tires and a rear right ABS sensor.
        I'm also looking for a rear swaybar, to be installed along with the H&R suspension.
        I'm still waiting for my springs to be back from my powdercoater........

          Update time guys!
          I finaly managed to install my H&R stuff along with a Civic MB6 rear swaybar (5door/limo version of mine).
          It's not fully lowered yet, I'm still rubbing on the front fenders on full steering lock, so need to roll them...
          I got like 1/6th in the front and 1/3rd in the back left.

          I'll try to shoot some propper pictures in the next couple of days, for now I just have a quick phone snap for you:

              Had a little shooting with my girlfriend and her Civic today...
              Changed some things in the last couple of days:

              Rear trailing arm bushings were replaced with some Hardrace ones
              Threw on my summer wheels
              Put in my Honda/Acura Integra Airbox
              New Shift Knob (Skunk2 Replica)

              Next big thing will be TÜV, my 2 years are over...
              Lets see what I need to do to get the approval

                    If you want to find parts easier for this thing, the japanese sold these as a "Honda Domani" and here in the UK we have them as the follows:
                    Honda Civic Aerodeck (Yours essentially)
                    Rover 400
                    Rover 45
                    MG ZS (Sported up rover 45)

                    Hopefully this helps a bit

                      Helps me heaps! Thanks!
                      I already knew about some of them, but the JDM Domani thing sounds interesting

                      To Update this thingy here:
                      Got my TÜV last week, had to raise the car up a good inch and a quarter, but I'll lower it again for sure
                      The TÜV Engineer was quite surprised how good my car looked from underneath...
                      Maybe because of the fresh and new rear trailing arm bushings, front upper wishbones and some other small bits and pieces...

                      I'll be at the Honda Fest in the Netherlands next weekend, expect some pictures from that 300mile trip in about a week and some days
                      Some here, some more on Facebook...

                      I'm already looking forward to that, I'll keep you guys updated.

                      And now I'm gonna go to bed
