45_CB Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hello New to jap / Honda so do not really have a great knowledge about this car yet, infact, I only actually bought it as it fell in my criteria of under £1500 budget, as I'm moving into my first property soon so needed to free up some cash after selling my Audi S3 Quattro So...Only 20 minute drive away from me12 Months MOTNew windscreenNew Discs and Pads all roundNew rear bushes (can't remember which lol)Just serviced at Honda (His dad worked there)2 Recent TyresAll the handbooks / wallet / receiptsPictures from the for sale advert:Did a quick txt-check / HPiCollected a day or so laterNext, turning on the air con which resulted in a lot of smoking and noise then found this ... Any how... lol, decided to give the car a 'once over' and removed the castle sticker or whatever it was on the bootAlso noticed red springs!And found thisAnd these ... Drove it around for a while The car was very quiet and I really wanted to hear the vtec crossover so got this bargain off ebay for just shy of £30 delivered (have a video somewhere)Finally, as my boot badge was pink, decided to paint it black while my new replacements arrived, they did arrive, and didn't fit can you buy badges for these in red or is it a D.I.Y. job?Not sure i'll be keeping all the badges off or not yetThanks for reading !Comments / Help welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway your VTi looking good mate, good base car to start with! I have seen newer style rear boot badges fitted from looking at a few pictures on here? Damn, should of repainted it red again then not black guessing the previous owner wanted the "Type R" look as well ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45_CB Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 I was looking at buying this one as well, what other plans do you have for it? Ha ! Cheers dudeCurrently wanting a set of Sprint SW98 wheels, coilovers, red rear H badge, 'JDM' look rear lights like the electrical section, set of spare headlights to black paint, some OE side repeaters as mine are crystal or something, look into what badges the boot needs (love the look of the VTi-S set up but mine isn't one so refuse to), the rest will come with time...Just haven't got the cash available tbh !

45_CB Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Car looks mint & that's some collection of cleaning product you have there, I take it you like the Meguiars then. Certainly used to be quite dedicated with my cleaning products! But seeing the weather outside, kind of disheartens it a little but as ruins all the hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
