Krzys Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 looks very modern inside I hope that's not sarcasm! Haha.I'm really impressed with the interior. Everything is digital, no clicky switches etc, apart from the bass boost settings on the head unit! Haha. It's got a 10 cd changer! Yes 10!CD Changer? Ah sack it off and get some decent music storage, my headunit has a USB stick that lives on it with 32GB capacity......currently has about 27GB of music on it!

Guest Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am just looking on ebay they are fair prices for a 190bhp i cant believe it i wouldnt say no to one of them the interior looks super laid back and sleek with a 6 speed box mate you done good.i bet that would give an MB a run for its money Toyota's never seem to hold money very well though do they it odd for such reliable build quality oooh and chain driven Cams biatch to change but strong like bull i loved that on the Almera GTI it was chain driven use some top quality oil youll be laughing.

scottravenhill Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 yeah man u dont have to change the chain, theres not even a reccomended time interval for it, they are supposed to be 0-60 in 7.2, can you go faster for that much money? maybe, but youre talking about cars which drink fuel and sting you on insurance.

Guest Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Indeed what sort of insurance group we looking at on one of these, i didnt realise the same 140bhp was in the avensis taxi ha thats quite amuzing.Also any plans for modding it or remaps i understand from my neighbour who works on Toyota production lines in Derby that the ECU on these is fully flashable (No Chipping needed), nice K&N typhoon on ebay £146 for the vvti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottravenhill Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm not sure but I got a quote of £650, I'm paying £850 on the civic. this is the 190bhp version. I might get the wheels refurbed and powder coated white, as the car color looks black but its like a pearlescent blue, looks amazing under lights. its already got a hard induction pipe and japspeed filter. also I need to attack that because the previous owner put one of them silly ebay intake fans inside the induction pipe. i dont want it breaking off and gettin sucked into the heart !
