1.8 Civic VTi
Anyone on here owned a 1.8/1.6 Civic VTI, from around 1998-2000, i think the chassis code is MB? Unfortunately i can't access pics from work to show you the model i mean! Think it was the one where they made a VTI-S model

Ive had a VTI-s in on a V reg. Very comfy, the body is based on a Rover, no lie. 
The engines are good but they are not as strong as B16's and sometimes they do feck up. Handling on a standard one is poo, its like a boat. Good to turbo apparently
Apart from that it was a fun drive back from Kent (250 miles). Didnt keep it for long though.

Civic VTi
Hi,
I have had two of these - both the Aerodeck (estate version).
First was a standard company car which did 100,000 (HARD) miles in just over 2 years. Nothing went wrong and it was plenty quick enough. Just a bit low geared for motorways.
Second was a silver one which I tuned with intake, exhaust, v-tec controller and chip. It ran about 190bhp and was a real sleeper. Bought it with 40k and ran it (VERY HARD) for another 20k miles. Engine was very strong and pretty fast. Played with Type R's at Silverstone, no problem.
Weak point is the standard (SOFT) suspension. Shock and springs will sort it all out.
Never heard any problems with the engine s before. A guy from here somewhere has the engine in a 4G and uses it at the ring.
Haave been thinking about finding an engine for mine actually. Seen a few from 600 to 800 quid all in......

Cheers for the responses, definitely considering it now if the VT has to go...
On a completely unrelated note, were Honda making two different types of Civic at the same time? It just that i seem to see both the MB6 shape and the EK with the same year reg plates?! the MB6 code also doesn't fit the usual pattern for Honda either (EE, EF, EG etc), is this due to the Rover tie-in?

The pic of the vtis above is/was my car 
they are quite good fun, you need to spend a bit of money on them to get quick, pas/ac removal is a good mod to do.
I would change the gearbox with an itr/ek9 box it makes a big differance, I had a mugen plate type diff in mine which made it awesome at cornering
any more questions send me a pm
