Starlet__SR Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Bought this to replace the civic as I fancied something more sensible. Not everyones cup of tea but I quite like them. Only done 46k, fsh etc. Not got no plans to modify as such, got a few goodies to fit tomorrow, but other than that it'll be kept standard as i'm saving up my deposit for a house. Plus i'll be spending alot of time offshore so dont need anything fancy:)Anyway, comments welcome!Damien Quote

lukEp Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 k-series rover engine if you do the headgasket file down the dowles Quote
Starlet__SR Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 I'm just doing a little research into the headgasket situation, not gonna worry about it. Damien Quote

ste91 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I've always had a soft spot for these, drive quite nice too. Quote
kirky1 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 i had a 214 pretty much the same car and the engine wasnt too bad it just uses quite a lot of oil if u keep an eye on it im sure the head gasket will be fine. i had an icon superchip on mine which was nice Quote
Starlet__SR Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 Cheers guys, changed the head gasket and timing belt today, old one seemed fine but atleast i've got peace of mind that its done and not gonna go anytime soon:DDamien Quote
Galliano Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Looks fairly smart mate, chap at college drives his girlfriends ZR to college, smart cars!Though I must admit, it does need to have a set of sideskirts to be complete. Quote

Next thing will probably be an xpower backbox then thats it lolDamien Quote
Nanglebadger Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 yeah, drove the bro's mrs's ZR a few weeks back, gotta agree, nice to drive nice and comfy. was very impressed with it!Phil. Quote
