[mitchj93]

So I'm back again, I've bought a bit of a project this time

Before I continue I'm in urgent need of obd2 alternator
Drivers side driveshaft.

Good way to start

Pics will follow at weekend as I don't get the car until Friday but I have managed to get a 99 coupe with b16a2 for.... £950 lol

1 woman owner
170k on clock
Bit of a dog, it's just tired is all.
Engine ran sweet, gearbox felt good so I went for it lol wish me luck

I picked up the car to find it's actually an em1 vti. I didn't realise, it was just a £950 civic with a b16 when I bought it lol

Now pre warning it needs some tlc.

1 lady owner from new, full honda service history from what I have record for (no record after 2016) 170k miles but it runs well and there's no rust on the body, it's been garaged for 25 years.

Polished the headlights and Gave the engine bay a little clean I will get round to repainting and replacing bits soon.

Loads of parts on the way unfortunately most of it isn't fun as it's all service bits. Oils/belts/pumps etc just desperately need to sort an alternator so I can drive it.

Yes I am aware the colour is.... let's say retro lol

I paid €1,000 for mine and it was nowhere as complete as yours. You did well.

Turns out obd2 alternator is oval plug 3 pin not square plug 4 pin. Second alternator on the way and the car still not running . Still couldn't waste the few hours we had so on goes the intake and solonoid cover. Massive thanks to Luke who always helps when I need it guy is a wizard with hondas.

Will start to tidy the thing up when it's running, fully serviced and back at my house with no mechanical issues.

Not build related but had a great trip to the nurburgring.

Anyone who hasn't been I strongly recommend it's car heaven over there. Every other car you see is a gt3 rs lol

Also it's well worth getting a ring taxi, crazy experience that was haha here's a photo of the tyres after

Im off to Manchester next weekend so will be a couple weeks until update on the civic.
