yea gear head it is a very nice civic mate 
The vtec engines are strong so 118k should be okay provided its been serviced regular.
it's a nice colour and it looks in good condition.
Vtecs are just so much fun if you get one I am sure you will love it.
What I like about mine is it's just so nimble when nipping in between traffic and the fuel costs are very good compared to my old scoob
it will never be as fast as a scoob but in my opinion the type r is awesome

People **** me off when they say that V-TEC Honda's are gutless. Learn to frigging drive!
Going to see it tomorrow.

This one is literally around the corner from me. Wonder if he would be interested in a straight swap with my ford focus!

Great cars the newer Civics, gorgeous interiors and handling...They just need another 50bhp!
When i had my M3 i swapped for a week with my mates 57 plate CTR. It rained all week and i was sick of not being able to make any decent progress!

Yea I agree the EP3 civic is the best in my opinion as well
just finished a couple of mods
1. debadged the rear and tinted the tail lights " bit of a nightmare as I had to take the rear bumper off to take the tail lights out LOL "
also ran out of tail light tint spray so I will need to get another tin and put more on to get the lights darker PMSL
also I plastidiped my centre console which turned out rather well
and added a M factory weighted gear ****
now next thing is to get the car lowered and then start to put the full facelift on

I am fine as always TBH I am a bit like a Duracell battery as I just keep going
I am just back the other day from a ear operation as I had to get my ear drum cut open and have most of my ear rebuilt.
so I am just recovering from that.
Gotta say the general anaesthetic and morphine were a potent mix
last time my head was fried like that I was in my late teens and had been taking lsd and magic mushrooms

Very nice pal
Old skool civics and turbos are ace
I have seen youtube videos of them taking off like the enterprise engaging warp drive
they are rapid once a turbo has been put on I would love a drive of a turbocharged civic

Yo niz, can you hear me! Lol
Get a supercharger for your ctr, you'll love it, was racing one at Cadwell and obviously ace round the corners and just let him by then thought I'd get him on straight and couldn't get an overtake, so was confused thinking my cars slow. Then when spectating I heard that bloody whining noise and. I though aaahhhh!
Best mod for a ctr IMO.

I cant hear you but I sure can read you Yea I have been looking at rotex superchargers and Jackson supercharger and it is something that I am interested in
I want to get the CTR looking amazing first and once that is done I will be starting to go for power mods.
I got a lot of mods planned for the civic I am planning it to take two years to get everything and a supercharger is defo on the list.
I watched a youtube video of a incar camera on a evo 6 on a race track during a race
with the evo 6 trying to pass a supercharged civc round a race track and the civic was pissing all over the evo and the driver and co-pilot
were amazed at the performance of the civic.
you could hear what the driver and co-pilot of the evo were saying
they were a couple of Scottish lads at crail racetrack and they were shocked at how fast the civic was

thanks bean
I am glad I have full bupa as it is excellent I even got to say when I wanted to have the operation and was put up in a private
hospital and the food they were serving looked really tasty LOL not that I could eat after the operation as my mind was pickled with the drugs I had been given PMSL
If I had done it on the NHS I would of been waiting ages and had no control over when I would have the operation.
Dont get me wrong though as I am happy with the NHS and think they provide a good service.
Bupa is good as long as private health care stays as a secondary health service as
I would hate to see Britain turn out like America with health care.

When i was im hospital for 6 months due to epilepsy i was looking at the food n thought, you know what sod eating that crap. A blooming 5 year old eats more then that. So had dinners being sneaked in.
Its good we have private healthcare mate. Ill prob sign up to it wehen i get older as im in a fairly healthy condition. I think the closest we will get to being privatised mate is the way it is at the minute with a few private health care plans and a few private ambulance firms to help take the pressure of the front line ambulances. We deal with the cat B and cat C calls. Ive dealt with loads of cat A calls as i deal with the obese patients. Thats pressure for you mate!!

I like your scoob darc It is very nice
Yea your civic is mint.
I had to look ages to find a mint type r when I found my black one
I had to fly down to london to pick it up and drive 500 miles to get it home to aberdeen
but it was worth it as very few type R had full factory leather and the condition of the civic is extremely good with low milage and a £1400 cpl stage 1 tune on it
