Some monkey managed to crash into me when it was parked at work, so got to wait for the insurance company to sort out the bumper and exhaust before i can sell it, so its looking abit sorry for its self, but other than that its a lovey car just not for me, i cant keep away from starlet at the mo :p P.S Vtec is SOOOO over rated lol

thanks for your comments,

Jbird- the future plans are just to get it running lol, yeah its the toms one look very cool

Liam D- i think there normal import size, or do you mean the reg is similar?

saving for the dta, then got to take the car to a mates so he can make up a new loom, and get it running on the 4e so its all ready to put 5e in when its built.

Might be getting some defi from a mate, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp and boost for and the link controller £250, does that sound about right?

Just a quick update, the rear axle is off and im trying to fit the tm devlopment bushes to it :p and poly bushing the front which is also a pain in the arse.

Got 3 more gauges from cj performances group buy coming, cusco panard rod, and a 98 spec front bumper with optional splitter, rear optional splitter and a zep c pillar bar from a friend when i can get time to pick them all up.

Also on more of a random note, ive noticed that my seat belts in my colt are made by takata lol

P.S Vtec is SOOOO over rated lol

:p the VTEC in those civics are pish its a D17 engine in those, D-Series vtecs are only SOHC engines. Wait till you sit in a B or K series VTEC then you will see what all the fuss is about!

Love your car as well, what lip/bumper is that?

Yeah it was a d17 might aswell as not had vtec, but my mate had a jdm crx with a b16, and all that happened when vtec kicked in is the exhaust nosie went mental lol but maybe it wasnt running right.

As daniel said, its a 98 spec bumper with the oem optional lip.
