Hello all

Names Ryan (mates have started calling me CG)

New guy to the Jap scene.

Came from the french/euro scene. Dont laugh

Formely had a smoothed Peugeot 106 with a dashboard mounted tablet pc.



Extended family finally persuaded me to get a civic (I should be viewing my new EK on friday) Only issue is the paintworks faded from milano red to pink but My cousins father in-law owns a bodyshop so should be all good

welcome mate

what sort of ek are you going to see? 1.4 or vti? any mods?

 

[i am ryan]

1.4 total standard.

until I get it home and chuck a 15" and 2x 12" subs into it

 

[Rossco155]

[i am ryan]

.Clean up the bodywork (it looks pink in some pictures)
.Find a set of oem steels that will fit so I can refurb the alloys
. I have a powerflow backbox I cut of my mates 2.5 v6 vectra so will see about getting that welded on
. Audio......... I like loud cars
. Eventually lows as I never got around to fitting coilies to my french shed
