its been a while since i have posted, but some of you maybe remember the £70 redtop corsa i bought, wasnt the most pleasing on the eye, what with stupid bodykit etc, but i bought it to take parts off for my brothers conversion, then sell the other parts,engine etc.
so anyway, onto my latest bargain. some of you may not like it, and start with all this usual shite about v-tech etc  to be fair i couldnt really care.
my mate has owned the car for the past 6 years, and has just bought a focus st so told me he would be selling his car, so i then snapped his hand off when he told me how much 
heres the only pic i have of it, and PLEASE NOTE: IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS ANYMORE, THE LEXUS LIGHTS AND TINTS ARE NOT ON IT!!!!!!!
its a 1.6 vti civic, the ones with 165bhp or something like that? fast little cars. it still has the exhaust and a b & m quickshit, hks induction kit on it and he just recently changed the filter insert for it,stealth shelf, sub amp 6x9's headunit all in it. Got a brand spanking spare wheel in the boot. Proper alloy ken was on the car once when i got a flat. jamex shocks and springs all round.
tax till july tested till oct.....
for £500

Wrong. B16a vti's are 160, the import 1.6 sir's are 170. B18's found in the 4 door civics are 180bhp, and the Integra type r's B18's are around 197bhp.

i am unsure of the mileage on it, my mate did say but i cant remember, but i wil come back to you about it.
its not as if i am buying the car off of a random, i know the car very well. thats the reason i bought it regardless of mileage. if it blows up in 2 months,then so what, i will break it and sell the parts.
and yes Eck.... dont worry, we have already had a trans-continental conversation about this
