Hi all i'm copying this from another website so bear with me if it dont make sense lol!
I had low expectations from what i saw in the tiny pictures, but still i thought it might be worth a shot, i got there and it looked awesome, the more i looked around the better it started looking, i started firing some questions, seeing as it only had 57k on the clock..
It was his sisters from new, she bought it from a dealership and couldnt keep up the payments on it... so many moons ago he took it off her hands and paid all the payments off, and since its been sat on his drive doing nothing. he works long hours so don't get a chance to get it on the road, he looked sad to see it go even quenching a look over the fence when we towed it off!
I looked in the boot, i saw an amp wired in professionally (very neatly done all wire tidy) and i thought well theres no sub? turns out the stereo runs to the amp which powers the 4 kenwood uprated speakers in the corners, i have the receipt for £660.72 for stereo and amp purchase and installation!
The ashtray was missing, he said oh wait i have that indoors, i bought it from honda last month, cost me £160... oh dear lord. also the 3rd brake light £120 all bought from honda! i got all the manuals but no service history, we are going to keep in touch as he is moving home and has boxed up the paper work.
Sorry to drag it out but im exited about this beast, here's more about the spec.
It's a Honda Civic Crx Del sol VTI (bit of a mouthful) its the Uk model which is 8bhp less than the import (easily sorted) and £800 less on the insurance lol
Its a b16 engine 160bhp standard. the car weighs 1050 kilos so you can imagine how quick it is (i couldnt keep up with one in the mr2 against an automatic)
Its in old english white kinda cream looking white colour, it has the bubble lip which i've always wanted to do anyway but its a bonus its already there. This is going to be my project as of now. This will be my car for at least 2-3 years, that dont mean i wont buy others in the meantime Anyone who is interested in the mr2, i'll let it go for around £600 to anyone on here, possibly less.
Anyway on to some pictures..
On the tow bar
