Bloke at work had this sitting on his drive doing nothing so snapped it up!




Civic VTi (MB6)
B18C4 engine (170bhp)
S9B gearbox (LSD as standard)
107K miles
Loads of spec inc. leather and A/C etc
Not one spot of rust!

Goes well and it's very comfy.

Yeah it looks like a Rover 400 but was dirt cheap and has potential! Also the engine/box is worth more than double what I paid for the car!

WIN!

Really like these, and that looks really clean.
Be prepared to put more oil in it than petrol!

It doesn't look like a rover 400. Rover 400 looks like a Honda.

Double wishbone front and independent rear. With new bushes and a better ARB on the back it should be good!

Anyone who says these are slow isn't driving it right. Unless you hit the limiter in 1st it will be out of Vtec when you get into 2nd. Could do to have a slightly lower crossover but it's still good! Revs to 8500!

Mega cars!! hd a couple of these now beetween me and Flybikes lee i had an estate on ZS springs and a ZS rear ARB and it handles really well!

The gearboxes are a bit too long legged, but awesome for a turbo conversion!

Need a Teggy gearbox in em to get the most out of them IMO

awesome cars though so under rated its untrue.

As said the gearbox is far too long on these, but apart from that they are cracking motors for the money. But £400 Even if you wrap it around a tree you can make your money back

Cant believe no one has mentioned the Corsa in the 2nd pic!

Had a little mess today with the secondary butterflies in the inlet manifold today. So they are now permanently closed. Sounds so much better with a filter and vtec engaged better IMO.

Also fired a new pair of front ARB link on it.
