benkei Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Saturday was a sad day as I watched the new owner of my MR2 turbo drive away But the next day I went and bought this: With a very clean engine! Honda Civic EK3 1.5 LS with 131000 miles on the clock! High milage, but a full service history with a cambelt change 4k ago, and only 2 previous (lady) owners, so it's in good nick, as you can see from the pics. I gave her a good clean and de-badged the back, except for the 'Civic' logo, and also removed the rear wiper: That's how she stands now! Very comfortable to drive, but not fast at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake supra Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Are you going to make her faster/good looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Are you going to make her faster/good looking. I am indeed! I'm getting Type-R lips front and back, Type-R rear spoiler, and a Type-R grille. The mirrors, door handles, bump-strips, grille and lips colour coded. As well as the rear bumper tidied up, and the bonnet and roof blown over too as they've gone a little bit pink When I get a job I will be on the look our for some rims, and suspension... Then a B18c for more power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake supra Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I do like these cars. I had a Civic sport 54reg. before the supra. Hondas especially the civics are really well made. Only the gear box went on main in 3 years of ownership. Enjoy it. http://www.estetica-design-forum.com/members/blueocto-albums-random-picture183-my-sexy-baby-honda-civic-sport-modified-course.jpg looked like this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 couldnt you have bought a non turbo MR2? I've had an n/a MR2 before the tubby, so I don't think I could get back into another MR2 that didn't have boost! lol! I do like these cars. I had a Civic sport 54reg. before the supra. Hondas especially the civics are really well made. Only the gear box went on main in 3 years of ownership. Enjoy it. I had an EP2 a few years ago too. Was a great car, with I would have kept it sometimes! The D16 just didn't have enough poke for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
