**I have a set of HEL brakelines I've not fitted - there's a patch of corrosion on the hardline and I didn't really want to play with the union at that time.
HEL are highly-rated in the bike world and I know a guy with them on his Mk1 MR2. The quoted individual is right in that HEL has a sliding collar which mounts to the suspension - but on our cars the stock lines have a fixed collar which mounts to the suspension.
I'm of the opinion that either the installation wasn't quite right (what with the different design) or the maintenance wasn't - HEL lines have a PVC outer cover (along which the collar slides) which comes in the colour of your choice. Get crap on the lines and don't bother cleaning them and the collar will stop sliding pretty quick - it's pretty free-moving out of the box. If there was a manufacturing/design defect, it would be known about long before now.**

If you have fully comp insurance then go for the £50 repair, it doesnt effect your NCB, if you dont have fully comp…..
Shop around the price of windscreens not going through the insurance ranges hugely, we got one at work for a 1999 vauxhall omega down to £110 fitted from some companies offering over £400

Thats great man :)
used to dread MOT time on my bikes (Never had one on a car yet) it's that gut feeling that just makse you think it's going to cost you the earth lol
All the time, I've had a couple of cars fail and it's gutting, I was especially gutted about my Civic (although I shouldn't have used a dodgey garage that were going to try and shaft me).
1.5 / 1.6 to V6 swaps are a bitch because its completely different loom and set up, there is a shed load more work involved than the V6 swaps, for the sake of the extra work, it would be cheaper and easier to buy a V6 and work up from there
I wouldn't recommend trying to bid on that stuff yourself… translating doesn't work as well as you would think and most sellers will not ship outside of Japan...
I have used that site and I would recommend going through Rupewrecht (check out his threads there) and contact him if you want to get anything since he has an agent in Japan.
Just keep in mind it gets VERY expensive very fast...
I've bought quite a few things off German ebay - a couple of things you need to remember:
Use something like this to translate and it can translate english to german enough for basic communication: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
If they don't do paypal I wouldn't recommend doing business - wire transfers are risky and can cost quite a bit.
Contact them prior to buying anything to see if they will ship to your location and how much it will cost.
Also if you are after a set of the yellow sidemarkers I've got a decent set I can send you!

Thanks bud, Don't you have to keep the HID units dry?
Also, Could a second set be used for the rear lights?? :)
See i dont think u can get that type of bulb although u could custom fit a set of HIDS into the bulb holes and cut solder the cables to the hids, I think that is lol

The last one looks better, I think the Pink made it look a bit OTT but looked subtle on the Red.
The pink is an OEM mazda colour for a special edition
I bought my car from Birmingham and it got the exhaust fitted down that way, it was MIJ Performance who done it they are at
207 pleck road walsall ws2 0ex number 01922645646 it cost from the cat back £320 all in with a life time guarantee
Could give them a bell

Nope, Eunos is half leather and half multi stitched vomit looking material.
hmm, I'm sure I saw a full leather Eunos interior at some stage though. That pic I posted is full two-tone leather too I think and is definitely from an Eunos.
thats ok, im thinking along the same long term lines. As i actually only do 500miles a year in mx so might strip it, cage it, perspex rear screen ( In progress ) lightweight wheels, quaife it, tune in up a bit more. Then start seriously start enjoying it!.
If I'm gonna be getting anything when I've finished with the 3 I'll be getting one of these
Proper old skoooool :lol:
I've set my goal now to have one of these in the future, a 1970's Honda Civic 1500.
