Well done Adam

 

Good on you deserve a solid new car.

 

I remember when i had my civic all modded and people though parents had paid for it! I told them how many years id been saving and they simply gasped!

 

Id been working from 13yr old till 18 to save for a £750 quid civic, and mods.

Very nice spec. You'll have to take me for a spin

Any time Charlie

[Dark_Hero]

Awesome, I bet it sounds great.

[Adamweal]

its pretty decent sound for a v6 diesel but my plan is for either a milltek and dpf delete, superspring and dpf delete or cut out the rear boxes and dpf delete, safe to say that dpf needs to go!

[Adamweal]

 

 

 

bearing in mind that the first also have a dpf delete, from what i have read a dpf delete is a must for a good sound, maybe i will do this first then decide on exhaust

 

 

begining to think i should start a new project thread as i started the mods today or shall i wait till i do something drastic... hmmm

[SNH]

Looks nice. There's a guy that used to be on here with one, shark mapped sounds cool for a diesel and goes like stink

[Shadows Entity]

Top vid epic sound for a diesel, owned two and driven 6 all sound like a tank... always puts me off diesel 

[chrisw4266]

That supersprint sounds awesome I'd go for that doesn't even sound like a diesel.

[VRade]

YES!
 
Get doing this!!

[Oet]

[bullitt vRS]

Any takers yet?

[emch4mmer]

Thays funny, i saw that advert when i was looking, had i of seen this thread id have gone for a look lol. Still happy with my vrs estate

[Adamweal]

bit of a thread revival... its still alive! gave it a bit of a charge up on Saturday

 

 

 

Got some fuel, took it home and now its all ready for next weekend the rolling road day at AMD if i start to enjoy driving it again i may just have to keep it out for a bit longer

 

[Adamweal]

i just cant leave anything alone 

 

 

[BrownBarge]

Intercooler sprayed black? I no this because of instagram lol

[Adamweal]

Intercooler sprayed black? I no this because of instagram lol

 

yup thats the one, unsure if i prefer gloss black or matte black yet though but will give it a polish up tomorrow and see but i did forget to get the brackets off to paint    may have to leave them till next week i can redo the cooler if i dont like gloss then too

[rares]

so walbro fuel pump was fitted yesterday, car is running a lot better now! and feels like it has its power back!

 

bonnet struts arrived but they came with self tapping ball studs for the wing bolts 

so as im impatient i had a play around with what i got, first try didn't work but second try worked perfect so i now have one strut fitted and a m6 ball stud on order to do the other side, the one strut that is fitted works fine to hold the bonnet up but does not push it up on its own

 

 

decat has now been ordered and i am sorting out a piper non resonated exhaust

 

Hello! Nice ride! I want to ask you what is the force of the shock absorber and the lenght of it? Tks!

 

[Adamweal]

amazingly the kit i got is still on ebay here they do push the bonnet up pretty well but i have no idea of the lengh without going and measuring them

Reading through your thread and suddenly realised this is the car that reminded me I wanted a vrs a few months ago and now I have my mk1 black magic vrs. I was picking up I assume your neighbours fiat 500 for a recall and yours was parked infront their driveway, lovely car.
