Hi mates!

After several months in the forum, it is time to create a topic that explain everything about my car and its progress since I have it in my hands. Sorry for my English, it is enough to communicate with you and understand you haha.

In March 2012, eight months ago I had a driver's license and my mother Clio 1.4 I was short on horsepower and performance. So I started looking for affordable car with reasonable power. The leading candidate was a Xsara VTS. 2.0 167 horsepower, but it crossed my path a Civic 1.8 VTi, model I had always attracted attention. I called the owner and immediately went to see him. It was an older gentleman who had always been very careful, always in garage and repair in Honda dealer. 121.000km...

All this happened on a Friday, the next Monday I had the car in my possession. The first photo of the car in the old owner garage

That afternoon I went to the driving test with a friend who had just bought a Cordoba Cupra :)

The car needed a good cleaning exterior and interior. Some pictures after that:

After two months with the car was that the stability of this was pretty bad and kept leverage the 169 horsepower of the B18C4, so I opted for a suspension mount BC Racing BR Type specific for Civic EK, but that is assembled without problem in the MB.

 Before fitting the coilovers, I had the opportunity to take some pictures in the pit of  ''Circuit de Catalunya''

Very nice mb6 mate! Very similar to mine, but yours looks mint! Those Oz rims fits really nice on these cars.

 

Did you have any troubles with those suspensions on the ITV (MOT) ?
