Roylewaa Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thought I'd start a project thread on the on the new CivicIts a Mb4, an auto this time, the Mrs decided she want to learn to drive in an auto, so I set about looking for a decent cheap auto for her, she told me to find something cheap, reliable that wasn't a Honda, Civic, or Accord:)So naturally I opted for a Civic, much to her bemusement paid £500, 100k, full service history including a cambelt change a while backSeems to drive ok, changes gear fine etcBrakes are questionable questionable, and pulls to the left Abit, rocker gasket has a nasty leak too, all simple stuff to rectify reallyAlready chucked on a mgzs spoiler I had in the shed, and have a set of alloys to go onQuick pic of her at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Clean enough! Have to ask though, how/when/why did you marry this woman based on her car preferences? quote - "that wasn't a Honda, Civic, or Accord" Thats divorcible in my books 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the comments fellas Yeah Grant her taste in cars consists of something French, preferably a 206cc or a Clio The only thing jap I could get her to look at was an mx5 She has her suspicions I may have bought the Civic more for myself, I don't know what's given her that idea mind :/Maybe the fat 17" alloys I fitted today or the sohc vtec decals on the lower rear door might be a giveaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philgor Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Iirc, mb4 is on disks around, and with it being an auto it will hammer the brakes, tell her to use the hand brake as it will sieze up, and for an auto these are bloody quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah it has discs all round, front discs have seen better days and quite scored with quite a lip on the edge, pads down to half a centimetre so I reckon that's first on the list, from a safety aspect mainlyHandbrake is actually pretty good, better than both my previous Civics so it's been used as normal by the feels of itAnd yes it is surprisingly nippy, I overtook on a short stretch of carriageway this afternoon, foot flat down she kicked down like a Gooden:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Billy bargain that..to be fair divorce is a last resort.. its took 7 years but I've managed to beat my wife into believing civics are the best car in the world. Finally. So there is hope for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 I don't know why she has this thing against Honda's, she seems to think they are old man's cars, we were behind an integra type R today and I asked what she thought about it to which she was meh Although she went a little quiet when it left us like we were standing, my reply was Vtec baby!
