Lightwieght Harmonic balencer on the way
i have read many articles that say lighter harmonic balancer isnt particulary good for the car ... you might wanna research it tho
Woo got some new tools last night:
New Rachet
New Breaker Bar
I finially changed to my D1Spec Wheel Nuts i also piced up a present for my old man a set of extractors (for his HJ GTS 253 v8 :D) and so im gonna clean those up for him
i was supposed to get my EG6 door trims but the guy didn't call untill i was way passed his house so plan is to get them tomorrow and see if i can take out the fabric insert and change it with the
ones in my car so it looks all stock-ish
pics to come when i cbb
Sounds good. We should do that catchup soon bro, but I gotta fix my bumper first it's embarrassing lol
Why whats wrong with yours?
my front and rear bars have marks all over them from people scraping me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i need a respray just no money atm plus i'd rather have a nice b16 than a new painted car
It's a never ending battle :thumbdwn:Quote:

WOOO
EG6 door trims have arrived and there very good condition too! this weekend i'll hopefully finally install my front alpine type R splits and then my system is complete. Next few items will be suspension related, looking at getting front & rear type R swaybars and new bushing kit
WA-EG - yeah if i can find a pic of what im after i'll link it to you via pm, reguard to the harmonic balancer, i've been told aslong as it has the rubber in the middle (or you make one) there fine, and althings considering its a 230xxxkm engine its gonna blow sooner or later so may aswell get the fun out of it while i can :D
No worries. Will keep an eye out for pm. Also, send me a pic of dash if you can. Even with a paint sketch of what you might want. I've got a few ideas but what I might like might be a little different. Saint.....you too
I like that attitude. :-) Just hopefully gives you some warning when she's about to pop.
bah ... D series go forever =)
im after the same sort of hood that ATI make for GD subaru ...

New bumper, new guard, new indicator, scratched rim etc. 'Equal fault'. Bloody AAMI.
^^^ see thats f00kd
i had a similar incident and my car was written off - i ran a amber and the other car ran the red, i was found at fault because i had time to stop the car and not run the amber - also didn't help that i was a P-Plater in a Turbod N12 Exa LOL
grrr.... don't get me started on AAMI...Quote:

No serious damage - 2 slight dents on guard, a scratched hub cap (had stock steelies back then lol) and a knick on my mirror smaller than my thumbnail; which I saw her wiping off my white paint off her car with her hand and would have come off with cut/polish easily. This was my damage below and would you believe they claimed for $3,000 damage! He ordered new aluminium side steps and everything and all approved by yep... AAMI. Enough said.

because he is a BMW driver everything on Euros is expensive
i work for VW & Peugeot and they are the hardest people to deal with - but on occassion you'll get someone who ahs just upgraded fro like a toyota or honda and they aren't a phased with the little things
Oh well... live and learn I guess!
Looks like im selling up and upgrading to a 2000 - 2005 VW bora
so how much do you THINK I CAN GET FOR MY CIVIC?
no idea about the civic worth, but you should be looking for a old school Passat W8...... Soooo coolQuote:

VW are the kinda car you ahve to serivce and maintain 100% no ifs or buts and since i work for VW/Peugeot/Skoda i think its time i ventured into the euro scene - although i really like the look of a accord euro coupe heheh (maybe 2-3 yrs time i'll get that) :)
very true. trying to convince the missus for her next car to head Euro. going for a R36 or perhaps a second hand 335 four door BM.Quote:

:)
yeah its gotta be a wagon or touring BM..... Gotta be able to hold my bikes. :-)Quote:
