Becca's Black VTR & CTR & ITR *new daily driver, saxo soon for sale*....
Thought I would start one of these...
Put a deposit down on this today;
Hopefully pick it up on Tues/Wed.
Gonna get a standard fuel filler cause I think that one is a bit  .
Fancy some VTS alloys, wind deflectors, HID's & aerowipers and maybe tint the rear windows (its just gonna end up like my civic). 
Said I was gonna keep it standard but seeing as parts are so cheap.. why not fiddle a bit? Wont be doing any performance mods, just be making it prettier!
Oh and I'll be sticking my private reg on it B6CY X.

As said becca it's perfect for what you want.
You told me VTS wheels but if you want it to be better in snow (depending on how much we get this year) I'd just keep the VTR wheels on.

Like Aly said, they are Evo wheels. Off an 8 to be precise, wider and lighter than standard type R wheels so its win win!

I am going to be supercharging or turbo'ing the civic so I dont want to be using it as a daily. It is also a pain to drive as it is quite low.
The VTR is going to be my daily driver for too and from work ect. and I didnt want something majorly sh*t like a 1.2 corsa or something.
Hope that clears it up a bit! Haha.

Wow what the fuck... that's my old car 
Wonder why it's been sold on so quick... I sold it about 4 months ago and bought my BMW, was sold in Markse, so wonder what it's doing down there cos I was told it was sold locally. If you weren't told, the driveshafts went as soon as the new owner got it, so make sure it was sorted properly, I had no idea about it. I didn't have it lowered so I can't tell you much about that. Dno if you need the radio code, but if you do, I'll have a look for it and PM you it!
I'll give you some info on it. The mileage on the shell isn't the mileage on the engine, I swapped the engine for one that I was told had about 75k miles on it and just had the cambelts done by RickyP, although no proof. I got Manic Motors to put the supersprint exhaust on it. Look after it, I regret selling that car so much, I absolutely loved it. Gonna follow this thread closely, and if you ever want to sell it, I'd love first refusal!

Haha! How mad is that?!
Yeah you can deffo tell the engine is lower mileage than the shell. I bought it from a trader but the last owner seems to be another girl?
To be honest when I test drove it, it has less rattles knocks and bangs than the civic!
Well thanks for the info that is really good to know.
Even happier with it now... Haha.

Mate neither did I. I've regretted selling this car from the moment I let it go, I say almost every single day to my dad how much I regret it cos that car never let me down once. Well, it did, when the pipe below the cat sheered, but like I say, I had the exhaust fit by Chris so all was good there...
The other owner was a girl yes, I know this because the garage she bought it from is owned by my Dad's mate and they had trouble shifting it cos of the miles, but they didn't know it had had an engine swap, and I couldn't tell them cos I didn't want my Dad to know (he's an awkward bastard) so I just kept it quiet. It's a good little car, think a meet is in order so you can take me out in it for old times sake lol

Yeah I will deffo be up for going to some of the meets at some point.
Well she must of sold the car and I think this guy (a trader) has bought it from the auctions.
I wasnt even going to go an look at it due to the mileage. He had another lower mileage 2001 but it was in a shit state compared to this one.
