ok so this is one of the hardest decisions iv ever genuinely had to make but as I am in the beginnings of starting up a new business on my own 2 cars is not really a good option and I could do with the money to put into business to get it all going.
so I bough this wayyyy back in 2008 if I remember correct ( will check this tomorrow ) from a place in high Wycombe so I did a fair bit of travelling to find one that I believed to be the right one for me, drove a few previously and this just felt better all in all, quicker more precise and tighter so went and bought it, completely standard apart from some wheels. throughout the many years of ownership this car has had a lot of money spent on it.

ok so the car was off the road for about 1 and half years due to a spark plug tip blowing a whole in the exhaust valve and damaging a piston. I bought a b18c bottom end however had issues with this also and this broke so kind of got annoyed and left it for ages. this year I decided I wanted it all running again as really missed it and wanted it running by japfest again. so got a b18c4 full engine, was going to put the whole engine in but as I already have a mugen 4-1 manifold, skunk2 inlet manifold and the ek9 head had just had an overhaul and been skimmed it seemed a waste to not use this so we put the b18c4 bottom end together with the b16b head. when this was all done the engine and gearbox had a full service so new oil for both, new plugs, cambelt, water pump, gaskets to make sure it was all in as new working order no old or tired worn parts
this all runs great but no vtec as needs a map sensor.
bodywork is good condition for a nearly 16 year old car ( shes nearly legal
haha ) there is a small amount of rust on the rear arch and both front arches which I have touched up with Honda touch up paint bumper has a few scuffs on the bottom also on the front. wheels are great condition always kept mint after buying like this from another member on the forum, willwoods need a paint as they have faded.
