It was advertised for 2.2k ended up paying 1.8k pretty happy really amout of shitters I went to look at it was nice to find a honest guy.

Looks no bad and will probably hold its monies.

But it aint no turbo motor you wanted, and from experience, they are not all that quick.

Aye couldn't find a decent turbo motor that was okay on insurance and yeah not the fastest car but fast enough will be on RR at end of the month with uprated fuel rail fpr and full exhaust system hoping for around 170 pretty resonable I think its a healthy engine it needs mapping ideally.

Surprised you can afford to insure this with all the mods but can't insure a turbo...

[Pricklep]

Whats the difference between this engine and the one out of the old EP Civic?

No one would touch me, then I found brentacre for modified cars and they are almost a £1000 cheaper than sky or flux.

Old one was a d16 sohc 110bhp, this one is b16 dohc 160bhp that's it really mate.

I for one am surprised you've gone for something this modified when you outlined you had problems insuring other performance cars in the past.
This silver civic is a lot better than the old one though!

Yeah I would recommend brentacre to anyone they are really good for insuring modified cars and yeah alot better than the old one.

[Dany4494]

Few better daylight pics will get decent ones at weekend also fixed rear light seal cleaned and greased it up no leaking now also took the little arch covers off the rear arches that's where the water collects up that's why they rust, and bought a headlight restoration kit will do that tomorow.

[Dany4494]

Used a meguiars headlight restoration kit they look alot clearer now.

[Dany4494]

Bought jap plates, new bulbs - interior, exterior, got everything ready for a full service at weekend and going to get arches in primer tomorow night at work, on + side smoked a mate in his jp4 quicksilver and another lad I know in a 2.0 8v corsa b all on private roads of course.

[Dany4494]
