To put it simply, there aren't any? They use a bit of oil due to the nature of the engine, but that is from the factory Some use more than others! Just make sure the bodywork is straight, and there are no nasty noises, and it'll run and run and fucking run. There's a reason they havea reputation for bullet proof reliability. I kicked the living shit out of my 160,000 mile B16a1, then the B16B that followed it, and now the B16a2 I have gets shit regularly

You mean a VTi? The Type R started in the above EK shape. Also, must have been a non standard colour unless you have mistaken it for a yellow EK9 If it was, it would be a B16B. If not, then aye it would be a B16a2. They do sound the bollocks tbh! Mine isn't to everyone's taste, but this is it with an N1:

Not the greatest video for the sound tbh!
It was an EG shape, resprayed Jordan yellow with b16a

Aye it would have been an SiR in the colour stated above then or a resprayed VTi. It would have been a B16a2 unless it wasn't standard?
Zac, most of my mates have one too and the only one that has had bother was due to running the wrong ECU for literally two years They get booted every single day of the week and keep taking it. Can reliably run upto 300bhp on a standard 1.6 too  My opinion is obviously biased but I'll never be looking back to a Corsa from my Civic.

If your going to get one make sure its a standard engine they are the best bit
Been a passanger on one and it was wicked. Mine might be alot quicker in a straight line but for a quick blast I know what I would jump into each time
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
