That's smart matey. I love the BMW style light rings. It looks really tidy, definitely a good buy!

Marts, did you use this guide here?

Yours do the full circle unlike the ones on the link above.
:cheers:
Scott
DOh! should have read the guide first. It depends on how many notches you cut as to how far round the effect goes. :hammer:
Scott
Looks very nice mate...congratulations on having a nice car!
Cheers guys :)

what have you done to it so far i.e. engine wise or what have you got planned for it?
manifolds i hear suit the civics very well and give very good gains, as with cams etc as well?
i see you already have the exhaust on etc, is that cat back?
any thoughts on a turbo conversion for it?
or are you still sorting out the cosmetics of the car first?
:cheers:

I've got an AEM Cold Air Intake which relocates the air filter to sit behind the vent in the front bumper. Also got the full stainless zorst with decat. Manifold is on the wanted list but I think bigger brakes will be up first.
When I get bored I'll probably opt for the supercharger conversion, but at the moment it's quick enough for my needs.
Styling is pretty much how I want it to be.

Yeah keep it subtle and the cosmetic looks finished for now, then when someone pulls up next to you thinking its pretty standard, you can smoke em at the lights or between gears!
The supercharger conversion is expensive isn't it?
The supercharger conversion and the turbo conversion are about the same cost....which isn't cheap!

Turbo would be better in the long run wouldn't it as you can still carry on tuning it when it is finished as with the supercharger its bolted in and thats it?
can fiddle with the pulleys etc on an SC to get more boost.

yeah but then Martyn should get the turbo conversion as then he can fit a dump valve to go with his clear light clusters!:p ;) :D :hide:

why you saying my RS is unreliable then.....:D ;) :p
i think you should leave the clusters on as they look good, but then that would be an opinion from someone who is buying an RS and who has just purchased a Burberry baseball cap, so would you really want to take an RS owners advice!:p
:cheers:
Ps that was a jk about buying a Burberry baseball cap, i never have and never will buy or own one!!
