What colour is this? Thinking about buying.


I thought the same but apparently they never made gunmetal grey? The closest colour match I've found on google images is lightning silver? It's a odd tone that's for sure could just be the lighting though.
 
Could have been resprayed? The bumpers and sills have definitely been sprayed as the bumper strips and sills would normally be black (you can actually see the paint flaking on one of the sills). Also £1200 seems a lot for and EK3! Check what coilovers it has, cheap eBay crap is worse than original suspension, also 16 inch alloys are not very good - will be probably heavier than 15s and the tyres are going to be more expensive as well! But if the shell is solid (which might be difficult to tell if it has been resprayed) and if he will go lower on the price then why not? Make sure you check for leaks / rust in the boot under the spare and inspect the rear arches. At least it has some kind of aftermarket exhaust manifold as the OEM is very often cracked on these engines.
 
I don't think it's been resprayed just colour coded. And I asked him about the coilovers they're apparently technix? So pretty budget from what I've read on the net.
Also don't like how low the front is doesnt look like you can fill lock without rubbing.
Ill attempt to get him down a few hundred. D15z engine you can get quite a bit of that?
 
D15z6 is the eco vtec - it is only one of the cams that actually changes can't remeber which one. They are nippy enough (not b series nippy tho) and really good on fuel. The gears are veeeery loooong, I could do 70mph in second gear!

EDIT: I have just realized what BS I have written - of course it only changes one cam as there only is one cam in the engine! What I meant was that it only changes timing of either intake or exhaust valves, I THINK it is intake but not 100% sure

The colour is "lightning silver", but I've forgotten what the paint code is...
 
Ok thanks oif never owned one before just wanted to make sure it was the eco vtec model as the owner seems slightly clueless. Ive only had 1.4 sohc and a few b16's this will just be another project cheap run around untill i can afford to drop my b18c6 inside it.
 
Nice colour but if you want a run around I would go with one that hasn't been messed around with to much if nothing else because it will be ALOT cheaper and normally means it has had a different kind of owner. Hondas are driven by 3 kinds of people
Old people
Idiots wanting a quick car
Car Enthusiasts
I would be picking the owner as well as the car of your looking on that web site :)
