Cheers for the comments, it's a great little car.
It's in good condition for a 15 year old car, the engine and gearbox are especially smooth, she doesn't burn oil hooray lol


I haven't got anything major planned at the moment, just a refresh and ironing out of little problems.

To do list:

-New rear light seals
-Various new bolts in the engine bay
-New radiator brackets
-Remove door cards and sort out locking mechanism
-Get rust hole in boot floor repaired (about the size of a 50)
-Remove bumpers and side skirts and fully seal underneath of car along with cavity wax in doors and rear quarters etc.
-Source and fit appropriate rear parcel shelf.


That's it for the very immediate future, the car is in good honest condition but hopefully by the summer I can raise the bar a bit and get her really up to scratch!

Just replaced the rear light seals, 5 minutes to get the lights off but a good hour to get rid of all the silicone sealant!

Next up is a full set of genuine honda pads, discs and fresh brake fluid

Thanks for the comments

The car was imported by WRC, I was skeptical about this due to their reputation. I did a bit of digging and found some info on the car from Japan and it appears a good one. It's certainly been looked after as it has a good chunk of service history.

I searched the vin number and found pics of he car in japan.

Thanks buddy!

I keep on thinking that I should have gone for a black one but each time I go out and see it I realise why I chose silver!

The silver and black contrast just looks awesome!
