Jdm yo.. random jap milk drink. Will become my oil pressure guage when get round to it!

Will start making a new sig soon! lol Oh, and forgot to mention, her reg plate matches her perfect too........................Her Royal Roxiness! lmao She's a bit of a princess!

And Lexy has now left the building (well, my garage anyways!) Traded in for a Civic TypeR FN2!

Ok, as most of you know, I've been debating which Honda to sell as I can't keep ip with trying to work on all 3 of them. The deck was always going to stay, so she's safe. So I had to decide between Ruby (Civic VTi MB6) and Lexy (Civic TypeS FN1), which one do I sell. The one which stayed was going to have to become my daily driver. But I couldn't decide, because I loved the thrill of driving Ruby (the fun and the power) but couldnt go back to driving her every day. And I loved the creature comforts, the safety, and the solidness of Lexy............But she just didn't have the fun factor having no power! What to do!!!? After a month of sleepless nights (seriously!), Gayle came up with the perfect solution! Sell em both and buy a TypeR! It made perfect sense, because with that I can have the best of both the MB6 and the TypeS all rolled into one! So, with Lexy traded in, it's time to introduce the new TypeR in my life, Roxy! one thing i was stuck on was what do we call her?? Then again, Gayle came up trumps! She's replacing Ruby and Lexy, so a combination of those two names would be perfect! Ruxy sounded a bit daft, so after more thought.....................Roxy was born! Ok, now the car. Shes a 2008 Honda Civic TypeR GT in Alabaster silver, bought from our Civic5 Official Traders Western Honda @ the Fort, Edinburgh. She's already got the optional 19" polished alloys, which really make her stand out. And although I wouldn't normally go out and buy a silver car (had a few before though), she looked stunning and a bit different to the usual red or black TypeR's. Ideally I wanted white, but silvers as close as I could get so yeah, well, chuffed. She also has the TypeR decal pack from Honda, so has the TypeR grill badge and quarter panel decals. Then the modding started!!! Oooops! Um, think I've broke her! First thing I had to do was install my double din touch screen Pioneer head unit I had in the TypeS. To fir this into these civics is a major task, as you need to dismantle pretty much everything, including the full centre console from front to back, and a lot of the dashboard too. And for some reason, i couldnt get the gear lever gator to let go of the gearstick, so had to cut it But this was always going to be changed for the nice new red Suede one I have coming for it. So, after much caffufle, the head unit along with the Sat Nav unit all fitted and looking pukka! Much nicer! So whats next? Well, first of all I need to get Ruby sold! I'm buys prepping her and detailing her ready for sale. Got a new front bumper sitting waiting to go on as her original one has scuffs on it from before I bought her, and thinking about just taking her MeisterR suspension off (the Deck has been eyeing these up!) and selling her for £1300 with standard suspension back on. Oh and meant to add, Roxy is going back into Western Honda for brand new rear brakes as they were an advisory on the MOT, and also to have her alloys fully refurbished. Steve at western agreed to have all this done as part of the deal, so alls good! Should be going in soon Future plans for Roxy are: Wind deflectors Red Suede gear gator Some wee minor imperfections on the bodywork fixed (stone chips etc) Tinted windows Possible induction kit for a bit more noise! Stainless steel Powerflow exhaust when the time comes to replace the standard one. Mudflaps (possibly)

that's why you have to adopt, just for cases like this. lol,,,, just kidding.....

Would be intersting to know opinions after having both as a regular drive.

Understandable mate, few of us have been upset by the whole ordeal!If you want feel free to meet with us before the service on Thursday? Details here: http://civic5.com/forum/index.php/topic/9036-nicks-funeral-convoymeet/

Quite possibly bud I was trying to take a lot of info in with a lump in the throat and tear in the eye bud etc

Wise choice sir.

I like silver

Na it's gotta b like sexy lexy......Foxy roxy!

Love it Dave nice one! How does the engine compare to a b18? Similar?

We had it noted as 13.45 from FB mate?? We have a thread going and I think there's 6-7 of us coming down. Thumbs up for keeping the MB ticking over

Hi guys nick's funeral is 245 this Thursday the 10th.at east Bourne cemetery.if any one wanted to make the pilgrimage your more then welcome!! I spoke to sue(nick's wife)the other day and said the kidney transplant wasn't at fault its just coincidental. I will be taking his civ for.an occasional spin to keep her ticking over.also it is sorned now I have told her not to worry about the car no rush to sell etc!! Cheers

I still get them five years on

Nice I was gonna ask about the club discount as well lol

All those phone calls you get about your 'recent' accident, may come in handy this time then!

Haha Dave has a new baby!! Oh and just spotted, get those calipers painted too

That's it now, Dave's smitten, @Gayle doesn't stand a chance

Sorry to hear mate! Least you're okay though!

Oh shit mate .. What a nob .. Completey his fault?? Like you said, you were getting on with things too .. Silver lining though, there is a very nice red MB up for sale for £1300

Nice one Dave, glad you like it ! My best mate bought one of these (on my advise of course) and i drove it quite a bit .. Was good, no extras except a HKS intake .. The box is nice, i do like the short ratios between the gears being a 6spd .. Head unit looks top !

Welcome along roxy lol Awesome mate . New Sig req'd now

Yeah, might look into it! LMAO I actually said that to Steve at Western about the club discount, think he almost fell off his chair! lmao

Perfect!

These might be of help to you then mate! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321095453166?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=510107909572&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Shame the Tegiwa group M reps wont fit these they sound beastly - Could maybe mod one

Sweet! Rexy could have been another possibility but I'd always think of Toy Story (Rex) You'd love her with an induction kit on! K series sound epic for it! Did they give you 15% off as well for being traders here? Like it though dude! I hope she serves you well!

Looks awesome Silver does look good in these change from the black and red options

It's parcel day! Well I don't remember ordering shredded paper. This was inside. It looks like a fan... blade... of sorts. Oh! Fanblades! And what about parcel 2? Well that ruins the surprise. Yup. 4pc set with clips and tape all ready. So the wheels need repainting pretty badly. The paint on them at the moment just flakes off for fun. I'm probably going to touch them up with black first and then when I can afford it, refurb in a really dark gunmetal.

You've been having fun then! Nick would have liked that last sticker!

That is an absolute stunner you got there! I will be watching this one Loving the retro Scirocco

Top notch sir its defo well cared for n in pirates black , simply awesome?

Lovely example that mate. great find

I may have some clear side repeaters mate, I'll check and drop you a PM later (as long as I remember!)!

Nice clean car mate! Good find! Aa mentioned above, check out peoples build threads and decide what is best for YOU. I read the forums and learned whats best and chose stuff that suited my needs/wants! I like your idea of keeping the car looking stock, lesser of a chance of being stolen and also a true sleeper!

Hi and welcome to the forum. And glad to see another one from Sheffield. I'm over in rotherham just by the hospital so any problems let me know and I will help if I can.

My red key came the same! Was well impressed! Our rocker covers not bubbling is nearly a miracle!! Lol Check out most of our build threads, I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspirations and ideas!!

Mine has a little dent when I bought the car. Also need a new wing.
