Just thought I would post some pictures of my 1987 Honda Civic. As you can see the car is very clean, and very original.

It is a genuine one previous owner car, that has covered 75k (with FSH) and been has very well cared for.

I also own a '2000' Civic VTI MB6, again this is a 1 owner car, with low miles and full service history. No pictures at the moment - waiting for a nice sunny day (could be some time!).

That looks fantastic. Any plans on what you will do with it? Looks like it's in concours winning condition.

Thanks, I did intend to modify the car slightly, and even purchased a number of items. But I cant do it! - it's too original, and I dont want to be the one that ruins the car.

Correct, pictures taken near the Corus plant.

Technology sure moved on within a short space of time, that would be great conversion though!

Very tidy original looking car thumbup

The hot versions of that shape really go quite well - a mate of mine had an '85 JDM Civic Si, 1.6 DOHC with ~130bhp from memory. Surprised a lot of people (me included) with how quick it was.

A pic. of my MB6 vti (not the best colour, but clean and tidy!):

[pic][pic]

Owned the car for just over a month, and pleased with my purchase. It pulls well to just over 8K, and the LSD is great (1st car I have owned with this!).
On my to do list are; Powder coat alloys (Anthracite), and fit lowering spings.

Thats a nice GTI, allways fancied one - I went to look at a few early last year, but could not find a decent example.

I'm looking for a VTS/VTR at the moment, to build a track day car. The original plan was to modify the 'D' reg Civic for track use, but it's too clean!
