Good news replaced with this:

Nice 25th anniversary. Hold their value well. Although they're a bit boring. Fancied something more civilised?

Ended up swapping it Jake.

boosting again my friend youll have to let me know your free mate.

I keep looking at other cars but really wanting/should hold out for the bmw next year.

Civic is quite boring unless its high up the rev range and that isnt ideal every day is it

Turbo withdrawal symptoms are killing me

Civic did pass another milestone on the way up:



In my opinion both cars have their strong points. I did love the civic. I think on a track/b road the civic is king! Comparing the two back to back was interesting though. Drive up (140 miles) in the Type-R, then back in the Golf. Happy with results. Golf and a turbo always worked well with me:





Picked some service bits up this morning:



Air filter and NGK plugs on order. Plans are to bring this up to my level of cleanness and wheels could do with a refurb, maybe some better brand tyres. Currently has a REVO map, so might get along to Niki at R-Tech at some point for him to work his magic on, possibly with a de-cat

Sold up after all the hard work eh?? Shame it was coming along great, the engine bay was looking brand new! what made you get rid ? The new car looks very clean mate, I do like golf's although I would go for the r32 just for the noise, and they look absolutely epic as standard what power is it making with the revo remap?

[simon_typer]

I know mate, I seem to build them up then sell on!

Wasn't really looking to sell, this came along and deal was done.

Would love a R one day, just for the sound! Has a rr graph for 203. Old MK4 made 220 with decat so might be on the list.
