Jimbob738 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 OK after 10 Years away from the Forum i have returned to get the VTI-S back on the road. I have Rebuilt the Engine again as the 2016 rebuild didn't go as planned but to be honest the main reason its been off the road for 5 years was due to many factors 1 being Money, 2 being Welding, 3 Mental and Physical health but ive done 75% of welding and just getting bits sorted. having a break while i help my mate rebuilding his Silvia S13 that's going on the ramps for its MOT next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob738 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Mean while today i got the Aerodeck through its MOT with no advisory's i bought it 2023 for £800 had to do both Inner sills and outer as it was rotten and welded the boot floor in 2023 and fitted MB6 suspension, MGZS 180 Shocks and Brakes and spare VTI wheels i had laying about. Its still a 1.6 SOHC D16W4, it starts on the button every day and has never once let me down. Long Story over the last 10 years i have had many cars in between and they've all been terrible so i just decided back to Honda, Having owned about 5 MC2's VTI's since 2003 the first i had to find one that would just work, i have a B20Z1 i am rebuilding to dump in it but the VTI-S is priority to get on the road first. Shes an old Gal and a workhorse my Loyal Steed Like Arthur's from RDR2 horse LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 There is just something about these Civic mate ay! Yours are looking superb, loving the deck but also love that you've still got the VTiS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob738 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 When I was younger I worked so hard to get a VTIS and it got me through some tough times I just couldn't give up on it. Nothing has ever been as reliable as the Hondas I have owned and trust me I've had some nightmare cars so just thought sod it get a basic Aerodeck after the nightmare Skoda Octavia 4x4 I had it blew up in 2 weeks of purchase. Long story VAGS are terrible 😖👎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 You should try MINIs mate!🤣 my 1st gen cooperS was a money pit (fun tho) and my 2nd gen Cooper almost killed me (had a heart attack fixing the brakes!) 🤣 My cooperS mademoiselle mind up to go back to Honda for a daily driver after 8 or 9 years away from them! Still had DD in the garage, but for daily duties you can't beat a Honda. Nissan comes a close 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob738 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Yeah I thought today if the Aerodeck failed I will go buy this Avensis estate I saw 2Litre good engine, then it passed 😂 without 1 advisory again 3rd year running. I know all about the minis I have a mate who owns a Cooper S god no! Oil leak bonanza. VWs by far the worst I've owned, 3 passats in 3 years and a Skoda Octavia 4x4 haldex nightmare never again. Best car to date probably a toss up between a T5 estate or MC2 burgundy estate 2003 to 2010 bought it back and kept spares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
