as promised, some new pictures of my civic EJ9. she has a rust problem that i am planning to fix in the future. but this is how she stands for now. ready for TRAX weekend: thanks for looking.

the top-hats are off ebay mate. here are a few pictures of the top-hats fitted and a quick clean of the car. (ignore the dirty wheels lol) so they solved the damper bottoming out problem and no more metallic knock. however, the top...

looks top mate.

ah yeh sorry guys, the plates are all on and iv not taken pics in ages. gave it a good wash and demon shine yesterday and now its only gone and rained all over her!! not a happy chappy! lol ill get some pictures once it brightens up a tad :)

well guys i have taken the plunge and bought myself a set of extended top hats from the USA i couldnt be arsed to fab up my own and im not confident at welding something thats so important for the cars function. on the plus side. anodised purple should look a treat against the thunder...

will do maffy. yeh i see what you mean tropher, but ive had "cheap" ebay coilovers on 4 cars so far and only ever had one problem. but that was sorted free of charge due to the 3 year warranty. with the tophats aswel as the coilovers they will have cost me £270 quite a way off Meister R...

your right maffy, checked all bushings, drop links etc. must be my coilovers. instead of raising them, im going to get a set of these extended top-hats. thus having the effect of raising the height by increasing the damping range. fingers crossed this will eliminate my clanky rattle...

nobody had any experience with these extended top hats then??

okay guys, got a quick question for you lot. the coilovers im running atm are ebay jobbies. so i know they arnt the best quality etc etc. however i have them wound down to the bottom for as much lows as i can get. recently however, i have noticed a metallic tap/rattle from the rear coilovers...

yes they would look epic!!! however i am a student with 0 monies.........

i agree. people are telling me not to do it and to stear clear. but i quite like being different...... think id have to space out my wheels though also.

yeh mate that would be good if you dont mind doing all that. just so i can get a decent idea of the work involved. just think this could be an easier and cheaper way of solving my rear arch rust problem. rather than welding in new metal and then painting it all. cheers JDP

haha, cheers sarkel

hello JDP. could i use those pictures of your EK9 with jdm arches to show members on other forums what im considering to cover my rusted arches?

thanks guys. looks like its gunna be cut out and new metal welding in then by all the comments ive read. brilliant lol. i was thinking of riveting on some universal JDM style arches. think this could either look really good. or outrageously bad. failed its MOT this week on number plate...

your motor looks like a right hoot mate. props to you. what arches are you using there mate? the rear arches on my civic are rotten and im thinking about a set of arches like yourself in order to cover them? cheers.

here we go, after a wash on a once in a blue moon fine day! has anybody used this demon shine spray on shine before? i tried it after i had washed it and these are the results. i think it came up pretty well. could be a good purchase for a final once over at shows after the commute to the actual...

thanks wishy. gunna get some pics of it after i gave it a little wash. and some pictures of the arches so you guys can see how bad they are :D

cheers Azac
