Bushell's EM1


Thanks guys :)

Wholly **** man that's expensive for the doorcards and rear seats. What is it you want to do to the door cards? Change the fabric to a different colour? This isn't difficult :nice:
As for rear seats options are limited are the coupe as a 60/40 split and most other ones have a 50/50 :(

Yea tell me about it, gutted like, yea want the door cards red to match the front seats and the back ones black with red stitching will just speak nicely to the mother in law haha.

Lowered the front of the car 10mm today for something to do. Looks better now as I think it was sitting higher at the front. And replaced a hose on my induction kit as it was missing. Happy with that for now :)
 
So decided to clean my engine bay on sunday, not a massive improvement but kept me busy haha.

All done for now:



Then the missus decided she wanted to wash and polish her car, so I showed her what to do and actually came up no to shabby,









 
Nice one man, looking clean as always! :nice: got any plans for the near future?

I managed to sell my car yesterday btw so the EM1 will be coming into action very soon :D
 
Cheers pal, My boot has been sprayed and just getting him to buff a few imperfections out so hoping to get that on before the Scottish car show, going to paint a few rusty brackets under the bonnet black at lunch tomorrow maybe, and going to order some red material for my door cards soon. Then take it from there. Get some pics up of your em1 :)
 
Well got my boot on this evening, swapped all the wee bits and bobs over. Still waiting on my smoothed number plate recess but got my boot on none the less.

 
Thanks man, yea it seems to be very unique, helps it stand out from other civics which I like. :)
 
Minted as per dude, keeping it nice and simple but most of all clean! :nice:
I am so undecided whether to keep the spoiler or not lol
 
Thanks guys, rocker has been re sprayed but just in wrinkle red ;)

I would say get rid mate but its a personal choice as its your car, just my opinion :). if you do decide to get rid I have a boot you could buy off me. Save you having the car off the road whilst the holes are being filled/painted etc.
 
Nice EM1 you got there :D I recently bought an EBP EM1 and started on it myself,
really like the colour and the wheels match the car perfectly :) looks so much better with the USDM rear lights and the despoilered boot.

What exhaust is that ? for a dc2 ? Don't think they make them for EK 4/2door do they?

because I'm looking in to my options for my own EM1, also where did u get the taillights ? I'd love a set of those :D
 
Cheers falz,
the exhaust is a dc2 centre section and a gen 1 spoon n1 with modified piping to fit a coupe. Funkypower do a great spoon n1 replica for a coupe which I was going to buy until my current one came up for sale just up the road from me.

As for the tail lights, I was very lucky to find these I think, some girl was breaking a coupe down in England and I snapped them up. Just had a quick look on ebay for them the now and only found one set for an eg coupe.
 
2 random pics of my car at scs, one with me looking like I have no idea where I am, blaming the hour and a half of sleep I had before the show :(



 
its good to see a car that colour as noone would usually go for it, looks sweet!!
 
Thanks mate :)

So payday arrived so I gave the car a wee treat



Discs and pads all round, oil filter and some ngk plugs,

A couple of the slides were a bit sticky so removed, buffed and greased them and now they are all free other than that it was pretty straight forward fitment and service :)
 
Right guys after some help, I want to do my door card material in red, as they are blue at the moment. Obviously people have done this before, after a quick search on the forum I found the material I am after and it comes in a size of 100cm x 70cm. Will this be enough to do both door cards?

Thanks in advance
 
This cars super clean mate, well in :)
