Cheers mate, hopefully be MOT'd end of this month and ready for August. That was the aim as have a week off with the missus and we are away for our 28th anniversary. So would be ideal to terrorise Dorset and Devon with the zed

Handbrake issues today, tried to adjust the handbrake only to find the nearside cable a tad bit tight. We'll see come next Saturday when it has its MOT, borderline if it passes methinks, might be a job for the garage as has enough being under it in this weather! Ramp access will be easier. Headlight bulb changed and that is about it.

Nearly done for now. MOT'd with no advisories but could do with a new nearside handbrake cable as it is not 100%, just scraped through the test.

Tax ordered and will run from tomorrow so guess I can drive it if I wanted to.

New number plates arrived, very nice too!

Just need to put the rear centre console back in and give the door shuts, boot shut and petrol flap a good clean. Also need to jetwash the bloody spiders out of the mirrors!

Hopefully get some miles on it this weekend to settle the suspension and see how it sits and wheel/tyre clearance.

Really looking ahead and wanting to do something with the wheel arches, some cutting and making new ones a la BTCC possibly............

Need to do some other jobs first (missus has a list!) and look back to replacing some more bushes with poly versions and perhaps some Civic parts

I hope that after some 8 months of it being off the road I am not expecting too much as been driving my CDTi Vectra every day and that is a nice drive. Probably find the vis motors playing up!

Are your rear calipers working ok Mick ?, they cause more handbrake issues than the cables.

Calipers are fine as tested them. With the console removed you can see what the cables are doing and the nearside is not as free as the offside, plus with the caliper end disconnected you can easily pull the offside cable in/out and not so on the offending side. Plus operating the cable linkage at the caliper end they both actuate with ease and hold the disc.

Probably a cheap part but with the need to remove the underside shields and exposing tunnel grommits it'll be a pita no doubt.

Yes, most likely will be a pita
