Sorivity Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hey there guys, have heard really good things about this forum from a few of my close friends (@Shafzzz + @Roj) and was given a very warm welcome from you guys at Japfest 2 this year after such a rush and a mess-up from another group, so thought id chuck up a build thread over here for you guys to see. At the end of October id put over £3k into the civic without purchase of the car and thought i'd throw in the towel before things got too expensive with it, the only way forward with the car was an engine swap from the dull D16y7 to something else but couldn't justify the loss of cost, suddenly im 5k deep into a car with nowhere near that in value. so i sold it! currently cruising around in some 'next whip' 1998 Mk1 Clio paris Have had the idea of an S14 and they have really grown on me over the past few months so on 23rd of November me my friend and dad took a nice long trip up to Newcastle in my dads 2011 Cupra R (one of 338 registered!) And picked up this MINT AND STOCK!! (yes, i said STOCK) S14A I wont be driving it until around feb time as i don't fancy testing my luck in my first RWD car in December/jan when the roads are nice and slippy. i have very big plans for the car, i'd write a list of everything but honestly don't know how long it will be so may start a list at a later date.

Shafzzz Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hello and welcome! You forgot to mention the car you had before the civic which I'm sure everyone here would love! You've got good plans for this S14 and I don't blame you for taking it off the road in winter especially as it's so clean underneath! Have fun with it and that civic was grabbing all the attention from my shed of an EP3 @Roj get in here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very nice S14! I understand you not wanting to learn to drive it this time of year, but having said that, it's worth going to an empty car park (out of the way of course) and just playing! Playing is how I taught myself car control, that and the driving experience days I've done (Rally and stunt)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah agree with Krzys on that one mate . Best to try and find its limits and handling habits in a controlled environment instead of out there on the open road! Shame about the coupe, seems a lot of money to sink into it and then sell it on .. However the s14 looks a nice one and its super rare to find a standard one ! One question though, how/why/what/where/who did you go from a teg to the coup?!?!?!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm happy for you mate! Glad you jumped on that S14 when you did, doubt you'd have found another like it for a long time, especially for that price! Can't wait to see it soon.

Sorivity Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 @ krzys; I'm concidering a carpark trip once i'm driving it properly into next year a bit, but its my pride and joy at the moment and dont want to damage it! @Grant; Yeah to be honest i was sad to see it go but unfortunately it would have only taken more and more money and what id have wanted out of it would have cost way more than i could have thrown at it. as for why i sold the Integra... lets put it this way, i'm still alive, that, and it had rusty arches, smoked all the time and a giant dent from an asda trolley (Y). It was beyond repair unfortunately, would have cost me about 3000+ to set it right, then id still have been left with a 130k b18c6. @roj; yeah i completely agree. i think i got a steal for what it is at the price i payed!
