Bought this from a forum member back in november and sat it on my drive till the end of jan waiting for insurance renewal. What a painful wait that was!!

Managed to find a weekend so myself and fellow forum members ijwhiteman, Matt_o, jase-ek9 and civicsport could get her ready for the road.

Sad thing is as much as i love this car i will have to sell it in April after the ring trip to fund my wedding and house purchase. That wont stop me modifying her though! :drive:

As she stands now

Think thats it so far! Next step is a trip to TGM at the end of the month for MOT, fast road set up and have the top end whining noise investigated. :angry: :angry2:

Thanks for looking.
 
Wow man that is a clean car and i like the way you kept the outside standard and you done alot to the inside:D
 
wandered when you were gnna post her up fanny!!! thought you'd be keeping it a bit longer than that tho!!!
 
Love it! really like the outside oem look and track biased interior!! not so sure about mounting the harness on rear strut brace though!
 
the car's looking good brother!

only thing which i hope changes is the D2 set... i mean it's a 9, it needs better:drive:
 
Looks sweet man but the color coordination going on in the engine bay isn't great IMO
 
looks cracking in pre facelift vsm :). I quite like the white rocker cover, bit different to the norm :)
 
Cheers guys! Engine bay colour scheme is a bit random but if you had seen it before you would appreciate what i have done more.

Keep toying with the idea of buying some white 98 spec teg wheels! :angry2:
 
Glad to be of a service mate! did you get the drop links on now? you sure that top end wine ant the cambelt over tightened. Sure Tom at TGM will know what it is!
 
Did the drop link the following weekend mate. I am not convinced by the cambelt theory. It was supposidly changed at 80,000 and the car has now done 109,000. Don't believe the last owner would put up with a whine like that for 29,000 miles.
