As with me and Hondas there is always a story.

Short version is,after selling my EG

the MB6  need to go into the shop for Upgrades so I need another car,that had to be a Honda.had to be a civic,had to be an Aerodeck.

Was looking at a few Aerodeck but wanted one that was low cost to run.After reading loads of figures and adds I came across a WHITE Aerodeck just like I found the MB6,buy luck or it was meant to be.

this was the one although i would have like a 1.8 the 1.5 Eco Vtech was what I needed,cheap in every thing.

I got the Deck in August 2012 so i had it for over a year without touching it and in February 2014 all this happened.

After Seeing this,I wanted to take it to the next level

Just go careful with those sleeves dude they give shocking handling. I had a set on my old one briefly. And I mean briefly as in a week and then I put mg shocks in with lowering springs

got some proper suspension coming for the deck,these are just for now
