MBK89 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ok so was after a new car and after owning 5 hondas and getting boed of my current Skoda Octavia 20v Turbo, I thought i'd go back to Honda so browsing when all of a sudden this popped up on a local facebook page.... Needless to say i went straight over there. The chap said in the advert it would require a few things for MOT which is due in a month. Took it for a quick spin and drove beautifully. For the price he had it up for i snapped it up and took her home. It drove spot on and on the 5 mile drive home i noticed a few things- It was bouncing all over the place- The drivers window reg had 'Hondaitis' (the usual goes up and leaves a small inch gap at the top )- Had the original Pioneer tape deck ..... cool but useless- Majority of the standard speakers were blown- I dont like lime green!! so had a quick glance under the wheels and my suspicions were confirmed... COILOVER SLEEVES!!!!! So first couple of quick things.. Seats were a bit worn so quick tidy up and the major thing... Those wheels have to go!!! so i made a call and after a straight swap obtained my old wheels from a friend - So suspension has to be replaced with some coilovers or decent springs..- engine bay needs some goodies as its boring at the moment- Gunna give the paint a full detail and see how she comes up Let me know what u think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That looks loads better mate goodbye horrible green !! Shame about the sleeves! What coilovers are on the priority list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Welcome back bud, what happened to your last one? This one looks nice, I like the smoothed bumper, coilover sleeves hmm. I'm not a massive fan of the DC2 rims but they look a million times better than the green ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks nice, I like the smoothed bumper, coilover sleeves hmm. I'm not a massive fan of the DC2 rims but they look a million times better than the green ones. Heres the last one, was the earliest ever recorded VTi-S in the UK I ended up taking a corner abit too fast and the back end took me off the road over a kerb and 30ft down a field into a ditch I stripped her down and sold the parts Front and rear has been smoothed out and i love it They didnt cost me anything and thinking about carnival yellow until i think of some different whees to go for. wtf I was just about to comment on them wheels I love them lolTheres something wrong with you lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Shame about the first VTis mate. Looked a minter. Onwards and upwards though All of your mentioned coils will fit. Some with some more playing than others. Meisters are the only company that do a specific setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ah I seen this car a few times on Facebook. It was going to get broken for parts a few times! I have to admit those green wheels were god awful... Good buy and good save mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBK89 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 whats the simplest setup to go for? IIRC ek fit if you swap top mounts over? Yeah they previous owner put it up on facebook and another frind of mine saw it first whos a breaker. once he saw i was interested he let me keep her on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Looks alright that apart from the loud wheels which you've already dealt with! As long as you plan to go pretty low then EG/EK will be fine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
