Civic VTI-S MB6 - new rims

[Steve]

I have had this motor since August, juet getting around to getting some pics up now.

I got it with alot of work needing done.. it need springs as they were cut to bits and an exhaust as it had a blown out straight through on it.

Anyway heres how I got it.

Mongoose exhaust with new cat fitted and new 40mm springs within a week on owning it......made some difference. Also got a airbox from Thumper and gave away the cone that was on it

SQ painted the splitter last week as it was covered in holes and it looked like someone had painted it with a brush, and also got a new grill.

Some pics taken today...yes I know I should have washed it but its a nightmare to keep clean in this weather.

Still needs a bit more work tho, she needs value stem oil seals in the new year as she is burning some oil, also need a bonnet and a headlight and a few dents removed, but all work in progress

Comments welcome good and bad.

Cheers for looking

That looks really well mate..

Very nice ride height as i dont think these suit being decked..

And i prefer it without that red badge!

Splitter looks sweet

 

[Doovde]

love it

 

[Curtiz]

Looks very well, nice and unmolested looking. Always liked the MB6

 

[Steve]

Thanks, still toying with painting the grill surround black but unsure what I like better, i couldnt use the original one as it was cracked

needs some VTi-S wheels to finish the OEM look, tidy bus though!

cheers, yeah its a pity it has the standard MB6 rims, not sure what to do, get them done anthracite or find a set of the fan look ones or speedline that came on the 's'

 

[miniator]

speedline ones would be my choice!

 

[ferrett]

yeah the speedline ones in gunmetal look ace , just the right height there also , coming together nicely steve

 

[Steve]

cheers ferrett,

its also a bit swirly and has a few light scratches here and there, ive polished it a few times but im no paint magician

 

[ferrett]

well you know im not far away to get it sorted in the better weather chum

 

[Steve]

will keep that in mind mate, it definately needs doing, thanks

 

[LewB]

love mb6's, great lookin subtle cars, with a nice engine under the bonnet

springs look like they have settled in, ride height looks spot on

how do you rate the mongoose? looks good that its downturned slightly

 

[Grainne_VTEC]

love this wee car Steve, miss my old one but will own another one some day hopefully, 96 spec itr jdm wheels would look well on it, u got much plans for her?

 

[Carson]

Looks well mate.. and im sure it will be alot better once you have finished.

Great car.. really underestimated.. If your going to keep it i would recommend a 4branch manifold, made a noticable difference to mine..

Oo and def get some speedlines..OEM and look awesome..

 

[n3il]

Looks well out of interest how much was it to get your splitter painted, mine needs it badly too.

 

[Steve]

Cheers guys

LewB - Mongoose is excellent, very good build quality and not too loud, its not downturned, must be just the pic, its got a slash cut pipe

Grannie - you shouldnt have sold you old one, you wont fine a better one than that! Not much planned just have it lookin nice, some wee touches just

Carson - finding a set of speedline will be difficult, I saw a set on ebay a few months ago but he would post them

N3il - Pm Suitor at SQ Design, im sure the price will be different as mine was in a shockin state

 

[LewB]

slash cut - thats what i was looking for

what do you call the colour on these? looks black/purple

 

[Jack-Civic]

Pirates black.

 

[Steve]

colour is awesome, but you really need some good light to show it off

 

[Jack-Civic]

Yea, its a really really nice colour when its cleaned up.

 

[pearse9000rpm1]

great example,best of luck with her,
one of my favorite cars the mb6
keep up the good work

 

[slinky2000]

looks well mate!

 

[Steve]

Someome also scrapped the top of the wing at the top all the way to the headlight...ragin, hopefully will buff out.

 

[Grainne_VTEC]
