Think the 'teg is a really nice looking car- both the mk 2 and 3. NSX isn't too bad, and don't mind the last shape prelude- has to have the spoiler though. The EG Civic VTI wasn't too bad either- I'll try and dig out some pics of my old one.

From personal experience, I'd say keep the C. You will miss it too much- trust me! The S3 would be great for a while, but the novelty would wear off after a few months. Performance, engineering, build- all great, but it just doesn't have that bit extra that the C has. Maybe hold off for a year, save up for the S3 (prices will have dropped by then too :wink: ), get the C on a classic ltd mileage policy to bring out at weekends. Best of both worlds. I'm planning on getting a vRS estate in a year or so, but I'm gonna try to keep my VR- even if it means sticking it in the garage for a while. It would only fetch around £3k, so I'm just gonna save my arse off for the next few months so I won't have to sell when I get the vRS. That's the plan.... prob won't turn out like that!

5 in 3 years :wink:

Off to Halfrauds to buy some chrome paint then :roll:

Yep, Cupra-R. Or late 200SX.

I'll have one please! :) Tried a few weeks ago, but my stealer could only get primed ones :( . Good luck!

greegs, MPH:04 was good. Didn't think the actual show bit was as good as last year- although it was a bit more 'glitzy'. Nice to sit in loads of new cars though 8) Was totally underwhelmed with the new GTI- just plain dull, and the gearshift felt very vague and sloppy. As with last year, I was totally impressed with the RX-8. Build quality is excellent, and it's actually pretty interesting inside. RS6 was nice too :) Don't think I'll be going next year- this year's was just too similar to the last one. Motor Show instead I think. too hot, agree with you about the styling- think the C still looks way better 8)

Well, how does it compare then? I know they're completely different, but is really that much faster etc? Signed up for this at MPH:04 the other day- haven't heard anything yet. You have to be over 30 to test drive the STI, and am I right in saying you have to pay a £500 damage deposit?

It should have had a complete head rebuild around 40k ago, but if it's got fvwsh, then everything else should, in theory have been replaced as and when. But you never know... Sounds like a good price- leather too 8) Whereabouts in Glos are you James? Grew up in Cirencester and will be moving to Cheltenham in the next few months :)

£1.2- 1.8K dependent on bodywork.

All had them apart from the 2.0 8v and 2.0 16v.

Would think your door should be around £100-150 to be sprayed. Just had bonnet, rear qtr panel and number plate surround done for £300.

bcstudent beat me to it

Yeh, earlier ones were around 210 bhp, later are 225 I think. Always liked them myself- bit stealthy, great performance, 4 wheel drive, build etc etc. General concensus seems to be that they are quite soulless though :?

This happened on one of my old C's when I put the wrong brake bulb in :roll: - couldn't work it out for ages until my local mechanic suggested it!

cool 8)

Are the connections the same? Need one of these too :(

Wouldn't mind giving that new legacy a burn either :twisted:

Ooh, you lucky thing! Might have to give this a go! :twisted:

Hi mate, nice car 8) As Jim says, get an induction kit. Gonna be my next mod when I get the pennies together :)

Sunday, Red 1.8 16v in Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham.

dinkus, he he :lol: stumbled across it the other day, and just couldn't resist the power of the ...Ford I'll get my coat

Had the Konigsports + poly bushes on my last valver, and while the handling was astonishing, the ride was horrible. On a day to day basis, I didn't particularly enjoy driving it- just too unforgiving :(

As Jim says :? Happened to me with some speaker covers- I actually showed the guy my broken ones and he still managed to order the wrong colour and then try to blame me! :mad: I stood my ground, and wrote to Head Office. They sent me an apology and made him send me a grovelly apology too :lol: Haven't seen him since. Got my correct speakers too :)

Go for a 2.0 16v. As the other guys have said, you'll get a newer car, bit more torquey too than the 1.8 16v. Had two 2.0 16v's and been in a 1.8 16v several times and there's nothing in it speed-wise. Don't even think about a VR if you want to save money. Fuel costs are rediculous! Then again, it's worth it (IMHO) :twisted: .
