  1. As you know guys my B18 Civic is up in the for sale section. Price is a very firm £3500 but would ideally like a swap for a Glanza/GT I'm not looking for a MK1 GT TD04+ Prefered and would like it to be running the required management and not a FCD/FPR set up. Cheers...
  2. Is this back for sale again?
  3. Boost reading is completely irrelevant when the car is in idle.. From what I can remember.. My old V sat at -0.4 on idle.. To get your true boost reading you need a long stretch of road ie a duel caridge way or motorway and do a pull in 4th gear. See what it peaks at then. How is the boost set up? Stock actuator? Adjustable? Wastegate?
  4. Proper DIY that!!! Might need to replace the cable ties I carry for spatula heads! Haha
  5. That's actually more than I expected off you being a fellow student! Haha Thanks mate:)
  6. Any starlet owners thinking of going honda.. you wont get much more value for money than this ;)
  7. They are mate!! Weather has been ultimate shit from then till now that I've hardly been anywhere in it to get pictures.. It's done very little miles!
  8. This will happen if the car doesn't sell for what I want it too and I come into a little bit of spare cash ;).. I'm pretty firm on the price and the c4 is the best engine too boost
  9. Cheers mate, appreciate it Thanks John!
  10. Im over in Blackpool. Not sure what car ill own by then as my EK3 is currently for sale but might pop over to the land of Vernon Kay!!
  11. Year: 1997 Model: Honda Civic EK3 Tax: Will have 6 Months as of Feb 28th 2014 MOT: December 2014 Mileage: Engine - Approx 83,000 miles / Chassis Approx 113,000 miles (will rise) As a lot of you know, since my first Starlet I've had a fair few cars... Not kept anything for a long period of time. Well its that time again but this time Ive thought long and hard about it. I belong in a Starlet.. Well an R34 Skyline actually but I dont have that cash! haha Got this car last year as It caught my eye on pistonheads and Ive always wanted to try out V-tec and a Honda... Its easy to say that I do love it a lot!! I just love boost that little bit more. As I'm writing this Im still unsure if Im doing the right thing! As it will have to be one hell of a Starlet to compare with this. It handles like its on rails and is easily the most fun around the country lanes near my house... Its just not a Starlet. Well heres the current spec of the car... I havent actually had time to do that much to the car as ive been busy with college stuff or the weather has been terrible. The car received a full service once I got it home where all the usual things were done; Plugs, oil, filter, Genuine Honda LSD gear oil etc 1997 Honda Civic EK3 Engine: B18c4 engine conversion with LSD gearbox P28 Chipped ECU Skunk 2 inlet manifold Fuel pressure regulator Uprated fuel pump Large throttle boddie Whales penis induction kit Blue silicon ht leads Blue silicone hosing Alloy race rad with slim line fan Mugan 4-2-1 exhaust manifold Tegiwa decat Mozart cat back Red password jdm dress up washers Skunk2 oil cap Skunk2 plug cover Gold skunk2 low level cam cover washers Skunk2 vtec solenoid cover Skunk2 plug cover Exterior: Full respray in Championship White where the car was treated for rust and the arches were cut and rolled. Arches rolled, trimmed and undersealed (No tyre rubbing) Ek9 rear bumper and splitter Engine bay smoothed and sprayed Vti bubble side skirts Ek9 grill Ek9 front bumper and splitter smoothed with facelift conversion Yellow ek9 fogs Ek9 headlights 12,000K HID's with LED sidelights Ek9 spoiler De wiperd boot Team heko wind deflectors Fiberworkz winglets Aero flat wipers Interior: Ek4 carbon clocks Interior sprayed black Sticker bombed rear mirror and speedo surround Short shifter Tegiwa shifter extension Skunk 2 weighted gear knob DC2 Red recaros 8/10 condition Handling and brakes: Coilovers (unknown brand) Braided brake lines Front and rear camber arms (fronts not fitted but included in sale) Anodized read LCA's Full vti brake and conversion 16" Rota grids on the front 16"x 8 Rota grid drifts on the rear D1 spec anodized red wheel nuts Red ASR brace Red Beaks bar Good Points - Rear tyres were recently replaced with hard compound budgets so they would last longer over the winter due to the camber wear... The car was treated to a full respray in Honda Championship White by the previous owner and the car is very very clean... Stance whores will like the fitment of the rear wheels as you can just about get the end of your finger in the arch. None of the tyres rub anywhere as the suspension was set up perfectly in my opinion and looks bang on... The noise this car produces is orgasmic - low rpm and casual driving its a nice low tone and when on VTEC it comes alive and combined with the looks of the car, really turns heads. The engine is super sweet - Has ran faultless from the 300 Mile trip home to the very low miles that I do to college and work. Bad points: Every car has them and I like to be as honest when it comes to the sale of my cars. Clutch release bearing is noisy - I will be getting round to fitting a new clutch kit as soon as I have the time. Can be sold with or without this done. Rear light seals are perished and let water in under the boot carpet. I did remove the lights and put silicone over the seals but this has only slowed it down.. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job. Again if the weather sorts itself out I will be sorting this. NS front coilover squeaks when the car is first driven - After about 5 mins of driving the noise stops and goes completely, Not looked into this. Bonnet has a slight bump on the edge where the previous owner said someone left a spanner underneath and then closed it LOL. You wouldn't notice this if I didn't put it on here. History - The car does come with very little history. I have no documents from the engine swap or the mileage on it. I was told by the previous owner that the engine had been taken from a 80,000 mile MB6 Civic and I have no reason not to believe him. Only paperwork I do have is the V5 were the car is still logged as a 1.5 and the recent MOT. Windscreen - Does have a couple of chips in the windscreen. These were here when I bought the car and haven't got any worse. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE THINGS IVE FORGOTTEN BUT PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME VIA PM OR VIA TEXT Price: £3500 with new clutch kit fitted £3300 as it is SWAP FOR A WELL SPEC'D GT/GLANZA I could easily get more pictures on request. Id just like to say I'm in no rush at all to sell this car at all so will not even reply to silly/unrealistic offers. The car is currently not advertised elsewhere as I thought id put it here first due to me wanting Starlet. Contact Details: PM here or Matt on 07597544963
  12. Ahhh like my old one but TD04! Want Are you running the TD04 on stock ECU?
  13. Beautiful colour mate.... Good luck with the sale
  14. Lovely car mate as I've said before. What you looking for next. Ill be looking to sell the EK or swap for a TD04 Glanza
  15. If these are off my old V then they are 15's mate
  16. I guess we shall wait and see my friend. Right now it will be the civic,
  17. Just paid... Ill be there as per!
  18. Have a feeling the price will be a bit much for me. Would need to sell the EK first however.
  19. Id love this... How much is.. 'The right money'
  20. I went from 180-190bhp ct9 Glanza to an S14 to a stock Glanza and then to this b18 Civic!... If i was to be getting in a starlet again It would have to be running an externally gated TD04 kit on Emanage. It just costs a fortune to take the jump from CT9 to TD04 if you go for a decent kit, I might aswell get one already running that setup
  21. Love the colour of this!... Are they 16's?
  22. That is another option, not cheap to do so however Then again, nothing is cheap when it comes to cars xD
  23. Keep finding myself on here browsing whats going on. Damn I miss my first V.....The temptation to come back is there.
  24. ... are thou joking? Why selling mate?
  25. Redlines old car? *Edit* just seen the link above, my bad :/ haha*
