Fantastic cars. The handling was just a different league when it came out... will always be a cracking drive. One of my mates has had one for years. Not long after he got it, he sent me a photo of a bird sitting on the gear ****. That will always be what i think of when I see these cars, as good as the handling is...

it was either a facelift cosmic grey or night hawk black civic I was looking for
then I seen this one with the leather interior and low miles 57k with
a couple of good mods and a full ice install.
so I went for this one and am going to fit the full facelift to it
facelift bumper
facelift headlights
the front wings with no indicators
wingmirrors with indicators
facelift tail lights
and a mugen spoiler
I think the facelift models look very nice
before I seen this one I went and viewed a facelift nhb civic and it was very nice
to I told the bird that was selling it I would buy it and when I got home I h.p.i checked it and found out it was a cat d write off a year and a half earlier.
so when I told the woman what I had found she said sorry and she didnt know
and a week later it was on gumtree again with no mention of it being a cat d
I was lucky I h.p.i any car before I buy it
here is the civic I was going to buy from the scam artist witch

it's a nice civic it's a pity it was a cat d

I had my 1.6 at vmax - off the speedo at 8k in top gear racing an intergrale, which i crept past much to his surprise - face it you do not expect a 4 dr Honda civic to pass you at 140+

I have had a 1.6 and 1.8 VTI and was lucky enough to met the designer of that engine (the base for your i believe) and he said the older they get the more powerful and better on fuel they get, he also said they had seen them ragged to death and still going strong at 200K - as long as the oil and filter are changed regularly

my civic has had a remap on it and the vtec kicks in sooner at 5200 rpm and it goes upto 8600 rpm
my father had a lancia delta back when I was a young lad and I always
remember him taking me out in it for a spin in it and he would thrash the **** of it
back then I thought it was lighting speed but if I compaired it to my type r now
my civic would eat the delta alive.

so I was wanting a four door car that was fast.
when I got my impreza all was good but then the cylinderhead gasket started to go
and I ended up selling the impreza and was going to buy a blob eye sti
then I seen this civic and could not resist as I loved my old civic
it is easyer to put my son in the back of the civic than it was the impreza.
The day to day running is excellent and is better than my old impreza to be honest.
it is more reliable and petrol consumption is alot better
the civic is very nimble and is very good for nipping in and out of traffic.
I highly recomend a civic type r because it is a very good car
here is my old civic that I had before the impreza.

that's some sharp eye's you got there
yea I was the same the silver one pictured earlier was the first one I had and
when I sold it and bought the scooby I wished I had kept it.
so I am really glad I bought the black civic type r.
sound like you had a really nice civic with good spec on it.
I love the gruppe m induction kits they are just so cool

I sold my 2006 Cosmic Grey Premier edition to a mate just the other day. Brilliant car Ill miss it but need to get a diesel now.
I loved the Recaro interior...
Mixed driving a full tank would do almost 300 miles. Its a small tank, under £50 to fill up. Roughly 31 MPG average
