Thanks guys! Josh - I may well give you a shout when it comes available!

Hi All, I wondered if you could spend a couple of minutes checking something for me: I have sort of inherited a lovely little Civic and I don't intend on keeping it but have no idea what sort of price I could expect to sell it for - - Honda Civic - M-Reg - Automatic - 1.6 V-TEC - 43000 Genuine Miles - No Rust! - 11 months Tax & MOT - Full Service History (+ Massive folder of paperwork including original reciept for purchase of vehicle) - Completely stock example (Even has the original Honda Tape Player in it) - Alarm & Immobiliser This car really does have to be seen to be believed, its is in absolutely perfect condition throughout and is completely stock. Good for those wanting a seriously reliable cheap car or those wanting a perfect base vehicle to tune. It is an ESi with a D16Z6 engine in it - a SOHC engine which is seen to be a good engine to stick a turbo on apparently. The previous owner, an elderly lady owned this from new and has quite literally popped to the supermarket once a week, I would be suprised if she even knew what the VTEC is let alone ventured into the high revs to use it - it was garaged when not in use too! I have enquired on the civic owners club but no-one seems willing to put price forward. The car is having its private plate removed as we speak and so I expect to pick it up in a week or so....this does however mean that I only have the one photo of it. But take my word that everything about it is genuine.... Based on what I have told you, any idea of what I should advertise it for?? Cheers Chaps and chapesses [ATTACH=CONFIG]141153[/ATTACH]

I had one in my supra, the base of it was angled (thinner at the bottom and wider where it joined the seat itself so it fit quite well in the rear seats, not perfect but as close as you'll probably get!) It's a Britax Prince http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_67_10751_-1_14570_132863_10001_14568

Hi All, As title says - Sony Xplod Amp and Kenwood Sub in sub-box. This was in my new car when I bought it and isn't of interest to me. I don't know much about it i'm afraid. £50 + Postage Cheers Chris

Aw mate, she'll get there - you've done all the hard work but I bet you are itching to get it started...the TT lump is sooo much fun and your car is a beauty - make sure when you get her fired up that you get a video up on here and i'll be watching intently at your progress! Infact I think I might just suscribe to your thread right now lol

Jap all the way mate! Thanks for offer, i'm sure i'll need some help with this one along the way!! The RB25 is a whole other beast! How are you getting on with the fire up? is she working yet???

It did get quite a lot of attention...not much from this website as everyone (quite rightly) has the highest of standards here The good news is the car sold but I had to take an R33 GTST plus cash for it as the market for cars generally is so bad but one that needs extensive work like mine did really was not very attaractive to anyone wanting to spend £5k of their hard earned cash. It went to a nice chap who was going to track prep it so wasn't too fussed with the way it looked and I'm really happy with the swap. The R33 is nothing compared to a TT Supra but it serves its purpose and met the criteria I needed it to(Small family and has a turbo lol) So it is, with a heavy heart that i am no longer a supra owner, a massive thankyou to everyone on here who has helped me out and hopefully those I have given advice to myself appreciate it! You lot are lovely and helped me learn a huge amount in a very short amount of time. For those reading this that are hoping to get into supra's, I think the biggest lesson learnt are there are no short cuts, it only ever causes more problems in the long run, i'll be back in a supra one day and next time I'll do everything properly, cleanly and will take no shortcuts.....my supra, as much as i loved it was never going to be what i wanted it to be because I didnt do this and as a result I had to sell the poor thing for a rock bottom price. Best Wishes to Everyone...i'll be sticking about, partly cos I like you all and secondly because my membership is paid for a little while yet

After recieving feedback - price lowered to £4500 for quick sale

Hi all, Sadly I just can't afford to keep my car and finish off the project so I am having to put it up for sale. Twin Turbo Engine conversion (Registered as an NA at the moment) - Work carried out by Keron @ Extreme Performance *65000 miles *Tax'd until October 2011 *MOT Until February 2012 (Went through last MOT with no advisories) *5Speed Manual with Short Shift *TT Engine *Apexi Induction Kit with cold air feed *Blitz BOV *Finichi Firenze 19inch Alloys with new tyres *Super Pro Poly Bushes & Suspension Arms *Spitfire Boost Gauge *Apexi Turbo Timer *Toyo FMIC *Diff & Gearbox fluids changed approx 3000 miles ago *Oil & Coolant changed this week *MOMO Steering Wheel *Panasonic head unit -IPOD & USB Compatible(Speakers changed too) *Vacuum hoses have all be colour coded *Brushed Metal Dial Surrounds *Comes with an electric fan kit that has the thermostatic switch but not the wiring and relay The mods are relatively basic and could lead to be great project for someone with the time and inclination to carry on where I have left off - used a daily drive for the last 2 years without skipping a beat. The car is currently at the garage having a new thermostat gasket & Core plug fitted and new cambelt. Bad Bits: The bodywork is a bit of a shambles though - hence the price: I had to sand most of the existing paint (matt black) off as it was a truly terrible job done by the previous owner, so I have sanded and primed the car in matt white to make it look presentable. It is far from perfect and will definately need to be professionally resprayed A key broke off in the passenger side door lock but the car is still lockable and this is a small niggly thing that I just never got round to resolving. Dash panels need to be refurbished as they look a tatty but tshouldn't prove to be too big a problem. I have some vinyl wrap that I was going to cover the dash panels with but havent had the time to do it. Clutch has just started to slip - I have a second hand clutch that can be had and the car is perfectly driveable - just don't go boosting in the higher gears!

I have one of the japspeed kits - and I'm happy with it, quality seems fine and i've been running it for a few months with no problems (famous last words) But I also had to mount it myself as only the pipes and intercooler came in my kit, I also continously check the bolts to make sure they are tight too. Probably something you should do with any intercooler pipework though. I think there are issues with having the stock airbox with these kits. If you've got an induction kit then you'll be fine. One of the intercooler pipes cuts straight across where the stock airbox pipes run. I ripped my old smic and airbox and installed this one, induction kit and cold air feed in about 4hours...watch those knuckles

sod it...buy a glanza

keep the bonnet and do away with the brace...that engine bay looks too good to have the brace over it! my humble opinion of course

Sell the NA and buy a TT auto...can't be that much difference in price in this current market

its all your fault! It not a bad thing, at least its all getting fixed and I didnt ultimately blow the headgasket. As everything is coming off anyway I'm getting a new cambelt put on which the car is due for anyway so it kinda of ties it all together well....you did very well to indentify it from my upside down picture! and your advice got me going in the right dsirection when this first came about!

Thought i'd update this a little more (for the benfit of DnK ) - after further investigation a secondary leak was found...it would appear the bung has a tiny pin hole in it which is leaking coolant so I am looking at replacing the water pump housing/water pump! good work buddy...! lol
