Nothing planed as yet, just a mugen lip at some point.. I have a look in the ctr classifieds every so often. So I may snap something up soon
aye thats the way to go, I never bought anything new for mine and managed to sell it all again for what I paid for it so far

Good stuff, keep your eye out for a gruppe M intake
They are very expensive but are the best or one of
So apart from your foot any other "teething problems"?
I always remember when I first got the civic I kept thinking I was in a gear lower than I should be, because it just loves to rev! Hope you enjoy it mate

Your sig worries me, 23 mpg I'm used to 35
no other problems really, just had a sticky headlight motor, turned on the ignition and could hear a clicking, toggled the aim all good now.

I spent £135 in the 1st week of having mine in fuel alone
Yea I'll change my sig that is the worst MPG I've had!!!! Average around 29/30 but VTEC can be quite tempting tbh

I treated it to 97 esso supreme aswell lastnight, £50 to fill it and that was a squeeze
I've done about 50 miles and it's just under full now, I know what you mean about vtec though, found an empty bit of road and it was hard to resist

The boot is kinda massive, at least enough room for a bakers dozen of a dozen baps
Also dropping the wooden cover that hides the spare on your finger tip ftl

Nooo, don't get a V2 heat soak central! Get the V1 and a hydro shield. Car looks great buddy, stick a thread up on the CTR forum Mugen lip really improves the front end too!

Im in two minds with the lips. Look good on some cars eg rob's but on others that seem to stick out alot and dont do with the lines of the car.
The Smoothness of the standard item looks alot nicer when the car is sitting a little lower, like this random one in germany when we went
