No it's just a cold but because i still have no immune system it is ten times worse. Oh yeah did i tell you i got the car in the yard with the gates shut . I reversed it on instead and it didn't catch on the floor. It will when i get coilovers though . Bourkey
-
Are you having the lip done aswell? And yeah i've just put some new batteries in it so come grab it . Bourkey
-
Indeed i do. I feel like a car is sat on my head. I've taken lots of painkillers with pretty much no effect. Bourkey
-
Im looking forward to this . Sorry about not answering your calls or texts Craig. Been sleeping all day. Bourkey
-
I was planning to do it today but i feel like crap. I've fallen really ill and now my op is postponed. But when im better i'll be cleaning it again...with one hand . Bourkey

@ Ross - I like a good competition. You will have a head start as im not tuning for a while but i guarantee i will catch you . @ Cragle - Yep i have had a snoop about on there but i haven't said hello yet. Also is that the front and rear lower tie bars you have? Will they fit my coupe? Bourkey

Them wheels have set it off so much!!!! it looks awesome. Bourkey

You should duck down if you see the police so it looks like he is driving. Would awesome to see their faces . Bourkey

@ Gal - It goes over bumps fine im told but it is quite close to my driveway when going into it. It will be made worse when i lower it too . But i'll try my best to keep it in the mint condition i've got it in. @ Jason - Don't get any hopes up for mods yet . got a long time until im better again. Im getting wheels and coilovers before chrismas so it should look quite smart by then . And it is unmolested trust me. It has 85K of old man driving miles . the engine runs so smoothly without a pink or knock. New mod though...I persuaded my girlfriend to help me debadge the boot it as i was too wea

I think it's a mixture of both to be honest. During the summer month you should be ok as there isn't so much of a temperature change as in summer the mani will be warm most of the time even when off. But in winter the mani cools down quickly and when you switch it one it is oven hot in 1 or 2 minutes so the change causes the cracking. This is due to the poor qualityt steel and the shite welds aswell. Next the weight. Due to the steel being more flexible than the cast jobbie the turbo will twist and stretch the mani everytime it spools up during acceleration. This is because it is supporting t

Well the bodywork is mint apart from a scrape on front lip. All the other tiny marks have come off now with a good t-cut and buff. It was super clean after it had been done yesterday. Now it has rained, d'oh. Im looking at lowering it then some decent wheels but that is 6 or 7 months down the line when i have healed more. I like the EG shape but i like this shape more and with the EK9 bits on it it looks less dated in my opinion. And i would never buy anything other than jap. All i wanted was something bigger as im not very confident about getting behing the wheel of another little hatch afte

;). I do know what you mean as it would be mint to chuck a B series in there but like i said the insurance is stopping me. I can't get insured on it with the swap but they will insure me on a D series with a turbo. This is next year as well when i'll have 1 NCB. Or i could wait until the year after when im 25 and then i will get insured on it but i can't be bothered waiting that long for a faster car. Im gutted about losing my NCB as i would have 3 years NCB now. Funnily enough the day i crash was the day my insurace started it's next year . I thought i was uninsured when i came out of hospit

As much as i would like to i can't be bothered with another full engine swap. It was expensive to insure and it will be even more now i've lost my NCB. Im just going to get what i can out of the D series engine instead as not many in the UK do this. There are loads with mega power especially in the U.S. Im aiming for around 200-220bhp turbo which is fine on stock internals. The engine is staying pretty much stock for a year anyway except the vtec head. Im going to perfect the handling and get it looking how i want . Bourkey
-
@ Starletraje - Well the first engine mod is a Vtec head which takes it to 135bhp . Can do that when ever aswell as it's not like im driving her. I'll just get a mechanic to do it as im not what you would call strong right now. Even if i was at 200bhp you would still be faster than me though as i can't drive . And yes im not a fan of the wheels. They are tidy and suit the car but they just aren't me at all. Got a few ideas but i just can't decide. @ Newbe - Yeah you will see it at some point. I'll pop along to meets in it when i can drive . @ 5T4R7ET N/A - Yep i've already got a list of EK9
-
;). Well we shall see what i decide about performance in a while. For now it's wheels and all the handling bits. I want it to look and handle really smart before i go emptying my wallet under the bonnet. Any way here a some more pictures. Camera battery went dead so i couldn't take many. I have the rear hub cap but it is being painted . Bourkey

How bored are you to find that Bourkey

Cheers for the comments guys . Im feeling fine now to be honest. Im getting back to normal with my energy back now and im much steadier on my feet but the problem is my arm and hand. Due to nerve damage i cant move my arm as much as i'd like and my hand movements are very limited. Im have lots of physio to get it working again but nerve damage takes a while to repair. Im also not allowed to drive until my physio clears me. At least i've got the new car to cheer me up Bourkey

I'll get more pictures when i can be bothered getting it out again . It took me about 10min to move it ten yards into my yard steering with one hand . I was shattered. Not joined any other forums yet. I've had a snoop about seeing other examples and some look awesome. It took me over 2 years to get my SR to that point so i am not going to rush anything . I've been looking at turbo kits already though . Bourkey

@ curtstarletsr - It's a 1998 D16y7 model but i've seen the face lift one and i like the front bumper but i'd have to get a front lip again so i don't know if i can be bothered . @ Rickstar - Nope plans have changed since then. The idea at first was to save up for yonks and get an Integra but i saw this and couldn't resist at that price. I've been looking for parts for it on the web and they are so cheap for these cars. Good quality stuff is half the price of Starlet stuff which really surprised me. Most is from USA but im not fussed as i have a good amount of time to wait for parts . Bou

Hi all, In between many appointments at the doctors/hospitals i have just got a new ride. Craig's dad spotted it for sale at the side of the road and i went to look out of curiosity. Turned out to be an absolute minter so i bought it as soon as i could for a bargin at £1300. It is a Honda Civic Coupe EJ6. It has done 85k with full Honda service history as the guys son works for Honda. It's got 16" 100+ alloys and a full OEM lip kit . There are one or two tiny marks but apart from that it is mega clean. Mark and Craig spent an entire day cleaning it from top to bottom to get it to Bou
