Socks Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well after getting practically rammed off the road in my old daily car (EP3 Civic Type R) and after pootling around in a 1.0l Corsa C for a month... I needed to get back in a nice reliable daily car! It was for sale quite local too! Facelift Model 82,000 Miles 6m Tax & Test Compressor Rear Bumper D2 Coilovers Rota Torque Wheels w/Parada Spec 2's All Round Tuner Wheel Nuts Short Shifter w/TRD Knob Custom Twin Tail Cat-Back Exhaust w/Sports Cat Apexi Power Intake Has a few issues tho! Front Passenger Side D2 Coilover is GOOSED 12v Socket Doesn't Work Missing Footrest Interior Fan isn't blowing much air at all Both Seat Pins Snapped (Don't Allow Back and Forth Movement) Common Fault Tho! However, for the price I gave for it... It was a steal... It was VERY cheap... It scrubs up beauty! Wont be many posts on here. Just cleaning up and fixing its issues tbh... Just want a comfy daily car to commute in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely looking car though, would deffo consider one myself Everyone has told me about this bloke! Im on it! Cheers Morg! Nice daily. Lovley to drive too. Will do for the commute. They are indeed, much nicer to drive then my EP3! So......... I fixed the poor fan/blower! Thanks to LukeSR... Cabin Filter Changed. Nice and Breezy inside now! Made a huge difference. Didn't think a clogged up one would stop the blower like it did! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eynonz Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Stunner Was a tough choice between one of these and my Glanza. Lovely stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 There not comparable to a Glanza/Starlet imo... But a lot more comfortable for a daily! Well. Gave the car a full service. Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Spark Plugs & Gearbox Oil Gearbox Oil Really Needed Doing! Then got on with some of the cars other issues... The shifter was really stiff in all directions... Removed the assembly and stripped it all down: De-Greased and Cleaned all the parts. Then re-fitted... Unfortunately its still too stiff left and right for a daily car. Its brutally short and stiff. However up and down was a lot better! May try find a better one or a stock shifter! Popped to see a lad called Sam, after 1000 people telling me he is the man to talk too.... Got the missing footrest... Got a rear wiper arm (mine was cracked) and a 12v socket! Then my order from carparts4less arrived... 2 HUGE boxes. Seriously, I could fit in one, and that's saying something... Bit Excessive considering I ordered 2 brand new headlights... Yep that's right, 1 headlight in each box... Im pleased to announce they made it here in 1 piece. Very Luckily More Tidying Up To Come! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 New Headlights are in... Looks much better! Old ones were FUCKED and one was broken so! Fresh Mint! Then got the D2 Coilovers Removed, as one was leaking and banging/rattling... So sits really high now! Ill probably bring it back down on some springs tbh to keep some ride quality, as its a daily commute! and finally, Flatblades... Cheers Bosch! Coming together now!
