LolThe car is mint for its age.Other than the surfae rust on the arches there is a bit of scraping on the sump as it sits way too low.Thats all i can remember TBH as it was approx 3-4 months when we did the M.O.T.

Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Legend, cheers mate! The standard 1.5 100bhp EW5 engine. To be honest I contemplated selling the V when I saw it, but it was an expensive weekend Aquired this and a turbo'd Altezza (Which is going to be broken, she's beyond/not worth saving!) EDIT: The misses dad runs a body shop for an insurance company. It's going to be in very good hands ;) Edited February 11, 2013 by Addymk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Haha that is pretty awesome! Question is does your mrs like it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 She asked for something different, I compiled a short list, she drove it and loved it! Never thought I'd see the day when she preferred a manual rack to power steering!We just need to sell her Satria GTI now :-P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The satria GTIs are very rare cars, not to my taste but. Its basically a mitsubishi underneath. Please keep us informed about the civic though, i was looking at 4th gens myself for a nice daily. Never seen a 3rd gen though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I will, once she's here I'm gonna start her a build thread up! The Satria is a cracking bit of kit to be fair, Recaro interior, awesome handling, shitty badge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 by the way, the Satrias rare? According to how many left theres only 3 Civics! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Naa theres loads of satria gti's about, the mitsi colt mirage cyborg of the same shape though they are like hens teeth! Saying that one of my friends has one Cant wait to see what you do with this, begging for a k20 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I spent AGES trying to find a Mivec head from a Cyborg for the Satria, 1.8 Mivec lumps are little monsters with that head, it's an extra 70bhp... Massive amount on an NA! Edited February 11, 2013 by Addymk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I've never heard of that? It a hard conversion? My mate reckons his engines on the way out, not surprising how much he rag's it tbf but if its easy to do i might suggest it to him. Or wait till he kills it then buy the whole car from him lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wait and buy the whole car, 4G63 is supposed to be a straight forward swap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 WANT!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Couldnt 4g63 it too rare and ii love n/a too much If i want boost ill buy boosted lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) 4G63 is a straight swap. The head from the mivec mirages is a straight swap aswell bar needing a different length cambelt and a map. There was a guy around here who had one running 195bhp on a really sensible rev limit and a Dastek Piggy Back ECU. Now it's boosted :| Goes to a lot of the shows at Santa Pod, it looks a bit horriffic, really wide arches and a red leather interior. But it goes like stink.

The Toffinator Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 That hondas sooo clean, keeping it standardish or going further with it? Epic buys here man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just welding up the arches to be honest! The cars too clean to go mad with, added to the fact that there's only 3 of them left in the uk lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
