Picked up a new family run around on sat.
Its a 1.8 Vti civic with 54,000 on the clock and it has been serviced every 6 months at honda + the yearly checks so its mechanically in great condition.
Plus it only cost me £1900 or $2850 for u guys accross the pond.
The bodywork is great for a 10 year old car only a small blemish on each mirror so im dead chuffed with that !
Il put some more pics up tommorw but il get the inportant ones up today.
I plan on leaving the looks how the are except for some wheels the engine is where i realy want to make the inprovements. Hopefully il get a dyno session soon ( money tight at christmas ) and if anyone knows of any close to southampton id love to know cheers. Il prob stat with an intake and complete exhaust, then CTR/ITR cams and springs etc and a new ecu think it should be good for 190bhp at the fly then maybe more. Im happy with 200Bhp at the fly as this is just the family run around and i want to save money for the nine once i get her.
As familly came first i had to get this beast to carry all the stuff that kids intail. Il get my nine next year as my dedicated track day car.
il prob be doing the Nurburgring in this beast as i wont have the nine by then i doubt but you never know.
Anyway i have to give the bay a deep clean before im happy but its ok under there atm no flaking on the rocker cover etc heres some pics of the bay before. My last week at work this week so il get the deep clean session started soon.
Watch this space will take me a few months but it will be worth it.
Ow yer one last thing it was an old guy who owned it and its completly standard even the battery is honda this guy spent alot keeping it in good shape which is great for me
