    A few donks.... which bush?!

    As above over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a few 'donks' here and there especially when first driving the car. Feels like a bush or top mount maybe but not sure where to start. I havent jacked up yet due to weather and time but was wondering it there is a mechanical diagram of the...

    I've seen various exhausts for sale and quite fancy getting one for my dc5 if it doesnt sell in the next couple of weeks.

    Future Pricing of DC5s....

    What are peoples predictions?!! Do you think they'll continue to plummet in price as they are at the moment (along with all other cars) or will they settle at a certain level? Could we even see a rise in price once the c.crunch stuff comes to a halt in however many years? Was going to put...

    As above does anyone know if civic's came with HIDs as standard/optional extra, and are the ballasts the same as the DC5 ones?

    How much is this worth and is it any good?!!??

    Looking at buying an exhaust for my DC5 (cat back) and spotted this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=022 What sort of money would that go for generally, or is that a good price?

    Changing the shocks, anything else worth changing??

    As above i'm fitting my springs this weekend hopefully and was thinking whilst the shocks are off it there anything that would be worth changing at the same time? Top mounts, anything at the rear etc, just so it saves the agg of removing the shocks again in the near future?? Never really worked...

    Too many spring / shock / coilovers to choose from!!!!

    I had y car on a ramp yesterday and noticed that one of the rear shockers was weeping a bit so obviously it needs replacing. Now I have a set of Eibach springs which I bought off of a member of here which I was going to fit. However, i imagine if I put the lowered spring on a standard shock it...

    Clutch Release Bearing question....

    Help!! If I am getting a slightly annoying squeak from the engine bay when my clutch is not pushed down, then as I press the clutch in slightly (about 1/2 inch) the noise disappears can I presume that this is my release bearing? It happens whether I am sitting there in neutral or whether i'm...

    As above I've been fitting my Injen CAI and decided to break the plastic tube off side of the part in the picture when removing it :oops:. Does anyone know what this plastic part is called, and what it does? Obviously coming from the standard airbox it must be some kind of breather but is it...
