Done a few jobs on this recently, removed the towbar as I'll never use it. Got 2 of those bumper crumple zone thingys for a £5 from the scrappers.
Changed the pipe from the turbo to the air filter as the other had a split, I'll give it a fibreglass repair and keep it as a spare.
Fitted my 282mm front brakes I had from my old civic along with braided hoses. The carriers needed a little TRIMMING for my Streetwise wheels, all is well though, bigger brakes are very good.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Gave the rear brakes a service and fitted rear Goodridge brake lines.
Noticed I was getting a knocking noise from the front, new droplinks fitted, no more noise. While doing that job, lots of grease in view, CV boots split both sides, Got my mechanic to do that on ramps.
Last but not least Heater motor packed in, damm near removed every bolt behind the glove box only to realise it has 3 bolts and drops straight out.
All sorted now though.

lol, yeah the heater motor is the 3 bolts in a circle on the bottom of the heater box.

I replaced a split cv gaiter the other day, I noticed it while fitting poly bushes to the arb links and mounts.

Fitted front ARB bushes as the knocking noise came back.
Sprayed my winter wheels I was trying to sell, I did it on bank holiday Monday, it was a hot day so they dried really nice. 5 cans from the £1 shop.

Couple of jobs I finaaly got round to doing.
Rear parking sensors.



New front bumper as I broke my repaired one towing it to the garage last year.
LED D.R.L on a MK1 front fog light switch so it looks factory-ish.
Also painted the front fogs yellow with glass paint forom hobbycraft.
