Carbon Addict Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Before I picked the car up I said to the mrs "I'm not going to mod this car I'm just going to abuse it, then scrap it when the tax expires"That's gone to pot!Car is a 2000 1.5 sport mb3? In green. 158k on the clock and it's seem better days!To start with I plan to tidy it up and sort a few problems out. I've jut brought it new number plates and a tax disk holder, not much but it's a start.Plans are:40mm lowering springs16x7.5 alloys (more on these later)4x114.3 Hub conversion (more on this to!)Respray/wrap gloss blackNew exhaustFull leather interior?Tinted windowsLower mileage engine (when the current one dies)So not huge amounts I'm not after power as I have the colt for that.The reason for the Hub conversion is because my colt is also a 4x114.3 fitment and I have about 6 sets of alloys for it! And one set I really like now won't clear my brakes, so I want to use them on the civic.Il get some pictures of te car how it stands tomorrow after it's been cleaned.Cheers for reading and hope you havnt fallen asleep! how it started. as you can see its a bit tired!

NIKH25 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't think you had much chance with not modding it. Good plans, where do you keep all those alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Addict Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 After spending so much on the colt I thought I'd be able to resist!I live at home still and both my parents are into cars so parts around the house etc are normal!Dad has a 350bhp forester and a Subaru mv pickup that's currently having a 2.0twin turbo put in it (500bhp 700kg).Mum has a 320bhp hawk eye impreza and a Subaru svx!I have the colt and now the civic, and my sister has my old 1.1 colt! All jap all modded haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Addict Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can't say I've heard of it! Il have to google.As fir the conversion I'm pretty sure I already have some evo 2 hubs in my garage so would try and use them. If not il get some hub centric spacer adapters. Saves buying more wheels, plus I like to swap around lots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
