The LS is just perfect! Just forget the fuel bill and enjoy, as it cost some guy £60 -70k in today's money new and I got it for under £1400 with good history! (Bangernomics at it's best!) My friend had just got a new custom exhaust fitted a month or two before he sold it to me and well...that V8 really sings and you never get tired of it's or the effortless power! That said, i'll be more likely to sell that than 'Wolfie', maybe it's because she's my first or the fact I know i'd loose all the money I've spent on her. Aiming for her to be re-tested before the 10th May to attend Banzi at Crail, not to take part though! (Did that with the LS a few weeks back) Fingers crossed!

long time no post! Sadly, 'wolf' still doesn't have an MOT(only been 6 months...), but aiming for in the next few weeks! Picture from Saturday when taking it for a quick spin around where it's being kept! In the time, I've had to use a Suzuki Cappuccino to move out of my parents house as well as my main car over the winter months! (Not idle, and scares the hell out of you!) and then ended up with a Lexus LS400 as my main car. Got a new catalytic converter today which is hopefully getting fitted this week, and hoping it'll pass the emissions by the end of next month! Here's hoping she'll be on the road again then!

Know exactly which ones your on about now! Hoping new sensors (or used from the scrappy) as well as a new cat will help solve the problem. At least to get the MOT done anyway... The bad news is I'm not to move house useing the Cappuccino, and use it everyday which makes rainy days interesting to say the least.

Is that the sensor thats in the exhaust manifold? Or on the exhaust it's self? With the SRS, i'm going to see if I can get the emmissions down first before doing it. One of my friends does have a code reader which should be able to do the job.

So MOT time croped up on me again, and she failed it where I expected. Only much worse than I thought... - SRS light on. Knew it'd fail on that and know why it's on. (Jumpstarted her a few months back) - Emmissions. Knew she'd fail on this as well. Hoped a service and full tank of preamuim fuel would cure that a bit. But failing at 3 times over the limit on CO and getting bang on the mark for a pass on HC's. Outch. So my options? Spend a chunk of money to try found out how the emmissions are so high? Slap a new cat on and see if any of the engine/fuel cleaner stuff works? Or the 3rd option is...well you can maybe guess that.

Honestly can't get enough of the car, and got plans for her. Nothing crazy, but all that comes after the stuff that's needed. The bad news is 'Wolf' has been left to dull duties such as being a luggage loader. But She deserves a wee brake...and also an MOT.

Everyone seem's to comment on the size of it or the numberplates! But Smaller ones(Front & back) are on the list of things to do after brakes & tyres! People seem to love it, and get guys asking what it is, to girl's saying how cute it is..and all laugh when they find out it's called a Cappuccino! Driving wise? single handedy the best car I've driven, taking the MR2 (AW11) we used to own off top spot. A mix of crazy handling and punchy acceleration is addictive and I've put a few cars in there place on the right road. Honestly it's like a road legal Go-kart! So it was you who liked my post on the TSG meet! It's a 660cc thats Turbocharged....giving out 63hp when new. Which considering it weighs the same as a pack of 20 JPS is quite alot! haha

Alot of you guy's seemed interested in my coffee when I mentioned it before, so here's some info and pictures on her! So a quick background on her, or "Wee B....". I fell for the car thanks to Gran Turismo 4 when I saw it thinking it has a funny name for a car (I was 12 at the time), and eventually my love for the car has grown from there. I got my car back in April and needed alot of welding (Knew to expect this). The Last MOT was done in 2007, and between then and the last MOT(Start of Sep, 14) had only covered 300 miles. What did she fail the MOT on? Sticky caliper on the o/s/r and number plate bulb. She is a 1994 car, bought in Edinburgh new and then came up Aberdeen way when the owner moved up here, and had the original owner since 2007, having covered 37,000 miles. I've got Paperwork for every MOT, service and MOT with the car, as well as owners books and the service manual and even the original dealer invoice!. She's still got alot needing done, but mechanically she's fine, and after a basic service run's smoothly. Just need new brakes(which I just need to fit) and i'll be happy. Cosmetically she need's work, with the front wings needing replaced or fiberglass repaired as quite rusty, as well as a few other bits...but overall passes the "10 steps" test. So enough talk, here's some picture's. Size comparison... Doesn't look so small from afar... The black strip on the bottom, thats to cover the primer(That you can see in the above pic), but I think it suit's her. And that's all for now, I wont post too much...I mean were all here for the Civics!

Due to where it was I can't really do anything as no houses around so no chance anyone would have seen anything, (not bothering to report it) but least it was easy to fix. But I wish whoever did it ends up with there car being written off in a simaler fashion to what happened to me! Don't think this 'Deck was a VTi, and only Honda badge on it was the 'Aerodeck' one! Only other 'Decks i've seen this way is a beat up silver one(same spec as mine), a black, a Silver and a blue one's which are all VTi's. And don't have a thread for the Cappuccino yet...haven't actually got it back from the garage yet... (this week hoping, as I keep saying)

Just read about what happened! Gutted but least you and the car are okay and the cars new fixed back up! And loving your brothers Logo! Haven't seen one on the road in a wee while!

Thanks guys! Had more mishaps over the past week... Some of you may have seen me asking on the FB page about the rear bumpers on the 'Decks. this is why. Parked the car in the opening to and old, unused quarry and me & a mate went off-roading in his Defender. Came back to find the car like this, and fair to say I was not happy. My guess is a car pulled in to let an on coming car past and clipped her or it was a tractor/trailer scuffed it while passing. What made me mad was the fact they'd just left it . I saw'd a bit of the bumper off as was just flapping about and would't stay in place, reason why such a smooth cut out of it! And for 2 days i had to drive the Clio i have... Anyway a quick look on eBay and managed to find a lamp for £20, including P&P. And I fixed the bumper the with the drifters friend... Not in a rush for a bumper really, as money's now going to the other car(the Cappuccino, more on soon!). Also, last Monday I was tailing another 'Deck in the center of Aberdeen, silver car, nice exhaust and original alloys, looked a young guy! If your on here and see this, I approve!

Got the Miester's last July when there was a group deal here. Had nothing to do and was too early to have a drink so needed something to kill the time. I'll be lowering her again soon, be it for the next big car meet up my way or next spring. That said, I did say I'd be raising the car last September, so expect 2016 or so...

Been awhile again since i was last one. No big updates really, other than I'm missing my left fog lamp cover (hit a rabbit while doing 70), got a new rocker cover gasket and... Finally got round to raising it. (Sitting at around 9 threads higher all round) Plus side is I don't have to worry about most speed bumps, down side is the cornering sometimes feels like a lump of butter moving about on a frying pan if you corner too fast. Considering getting new tyres on the original alloys and removing the yellow tint on the head lights. But I'll see how things go!

I've had it on since last week. It's off until a few seconds after I start moving, then lights up. Often the next day that it's off and the the same happens. Putting it down to a sensor not working anymore giving the age & mileage. But got till October to resolve it...

I'm running them on my MC1, fantastic is all I can say! Had them on for a year and have been great, even after just changing the tyres the car felt more grippy! And more so after i got my coilovers fitted.
