Blue Jeff is part of the system now, he can't be replaced... I did toy with the idea of dying him red though. Got him the first week I had my blue micra and he went on the mirror cause he matched and I just couldn't let him go :rolleyes: It wasn't even a big bit of toilet, my first micra got...

One more, in rainy getting-dark goodness. And other good news! Blue Jeff, my Micra's old companion wouldn't fit over the mirror on the civic, but with some rubber band trickery he's back... shame his colour doesn't quite match anymore :/

It's starting to look like my luck is never going to improve! A few faultless weeks with the civic, and I'd been enjoying it thoroughly. There's still a squeak from the steering column but I've almost mentally tuned it out. It's well known that Milano Red paint is thin, but I had no idea quite...

I've had it for over a month now and when I'm in a hurry I still jump in, and nearly snap my key trying to turn it to the start position haha! How did the install go?

I'd imagine if you're fully swapping the barrel then you'd need a two-stage switch for the ignition, so that you get past accessory and onto the 'on' position. I'll warn you though, there are times where the once very exciting novelty of a start button does wear off, my civic has a big shiny red...

So my dad took the Civic in today, apparently the car is 'too fancy' compared to his Note, I had to walk out to it with him and show him how to start it haha! Paint is to thin to do much more polishing, so all but about an inch or two of the scratches are gone, and what's left is almost...

Quick update for everyone! Picked up the car from Honda today and the suspension is sweet as a nut! They'd given it a proper good clean inside and out, and polished the whole car - looks like a mirror if you can look past the orange peel Honda is well known for! I took my dad to pick it up...

Believe me I wouldn't, even I've "thought" I could paint before haha!

I dropped it off this morning, and I showed the member of staff where the scratches are. Haven't got any pictures of it outside the dealership but I took some of the passenger side at my office on Saturday of the offending area. I'm not too fussed about the fuel/mileage as long as the...

There was no inspection with me present. There will however be tomorrow morning when I drop the keys off, and I'll point out their mistake.

From what I saw when I went to collect it, the dealership was very busy so the lady on reception just asked the first service person that walked into the reception area to get my car down off the lift and then passed me the keys (as no work has been carried out yet, just a diagnosis) so no...

I'm just going to let them know how upset I am that I dropped my car off to them under the belief it was going to be not only fixed but well looked after, and that I am very distressed that it was my new car that has suffered as a result of their negligence. Should this get me nowhere then I...

I only learnt that the R18 was a single cam engine last night, which came as quite a surprise actually! Alas I don't get 'proper' VTEC, so it's pretty much like a normal engine, just mad fast compared the Micras I'm used to :P In the R18 there's an economy cam and a normal cam, the economy cam...

So it's not been a good few days for the Civic :( There's been a nasty clunking noise coming from under the passenger side front wheel in the warmer weather, which sounded really nasty with a full car. So I figured as it was under warranty I'd take it into my local Honda branch. Whilst it was...

That said it has black plastic splitter-like spats underneath and they give me no indication of when I'm scraping so no idea how well this'll do.

Decided I'm going to have to invent some makeshift way to protect the nose from abuse after I energetically swung into a friends driveway and it met the pavement again. Thinking some kind of even lower chin spoiler haha!

So as some of you may have seen on the thread for my Micra, I recently jumped ship and bought a new car! I'd been pondering with the idea for some time but never really put too much effort into it. Whilst my sister was test driving some cars prepping up for her first car purchase I was sitting...

I'll award you 500 internet points for participation too :p Use them wisely!

1,000 internet points to you sir! It's an FN Civic!

Okay I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag as I'm excited. Sadly not! I'll give you all some final clues before I pick it up this weekend (excited!) It's Japanese, Alcantara covered interior, and older generations of it shared their DNA with a Rover
