yeah seems quiet sound, needed welding on ends of both rear seals for mot. had been done but fillered over so looked mint, but rotten with the mot mans hammer!

Its got full service history from John Cooper garage in Ferring west sussex. So is all good.

Unsure on BHP of engine though? Its a twincam but not the b16. It has a black rocker cover. Looks similar to rover 216 twincam engine.

so then, this being my 1st civic, whats the next way fowards with these to get them quicker,handle and look better in general?

I had a sierra sapphire 2.0 before this, so im all new with jap stuff.


Btw saying about it being shiny, that was just a wash, its been laid up 2 years. Needs a good polish and wax. The 2 front door mouldings have gone grey and rest are black. Common problem?

a 40mm drop and 15' wheels are a good start , handling wise , they dont give much trouble , i used to drive old fords too xr2 / 3i etc., you wont get as many problems with honda :D

Welcome to the site man!
Found yourself a clean i16 :top:

Yea its a common enough problem, the mouldings on the doors are coated with a thin layer of rubber which tends to fade, the rest of the mouldings are made of plastic so they dont usually fade.
