Civic Type-R

[Chavtastic]

Hey guys I picked up this 2003 Civic Type-R yesterday and I'm chuffed to bits with it! It's sensible mileage (81k), mechanically sound, HPI clear and just in need of a bit of body TLC to make it mint. All for a lot less than they normally fetch! I'm sick to death of that Porsche so this will be a nice change.













First jobs will be:
Service
Fit a headunit and some ICE
Wheel refurb and add some good tyres (essential on these, otherwise they don't handle!)

Then I'll look at:
Lowering springs
Bodywork sorted (scuffs and dings)
Decent induction kit and possibly an exhaust / remap

All suggestions / comments welcome

Never been keen on jap cars but I did pass my driving test in a Datsun 120 Y

To be fair a Scoob is 4WD and turbo, not a straight comparison really. But cool cars anyway especially the STi

Similar place in my old 1972 Renault 4 as well. Very logical place, near the hand on the wheel.

its is a logical place but dont you think the civic one looks ugly and bent as if someone has sat on it ?

It is ugly, but to be fair it's in 4th gear in the pic

And I'd also sooner have an ugly but effective gearshift as opposed to a Calibra one (no offence but Calibra gearchanges are shockingly bad!)

your not wrong there but calibra drivers dont help the shockingly bad gear changes lol
