Well contact me when you are ready, I might be able to find you a nice one in your part of the world. My pal chats to Civic and CRX owners all over the world, I'm sure he can hook you up.

As for the mini's, well......
I used to have a lot of mini's, including a 1275GT bored out to 1298, dished pistons, janspeed pipe, twin carbs e.t.c. yes, bass in the trunk but....
As much as I love them, they were a bitch to work on with that bastard little engine bay, so many grazed knuckles, constantly re-balancing the carbs, useless suspension system, terrible on the motorway, rust e.t.c.
Finally had to give up the habit.
Still see a lot of nice ones about, but now I just look on with admiration.

Pretty sure tricked out Civic can take most of them. but that's probably not the point?

just smoke off ur friends for a month and get some coilovers&shocks!

it makes that car sooo much better.

i used to work at a honda dealership in the service department and they were trying to get into selling aftermarket stuff so they built up an 02 si. and once they upgraded the suspension (just basic coilovers and tokico shocks i belive), and sway bars it handled like a completely different car (the skunk2 intake+exhaust+nos also helped loads). fun car to drive that's for sure, cept second gear is waaaay to short.

oh please....

I am always interested mate, what colour is it, what's the condition, what ICE you got, what your place looks like in the background.

Don't worry about the cash, I'm broke too, get everything off e-bay when I win at the bookies (OTB)

yep, I put lowering springs, Koni shocks and front and rear strut braces on mine.....it's like day and night mate.

not sure about the nos mate, I plan to keep my car for a while.

about the 2nd gear, we get a different gearbox than you over here. Apparently sought after in the US etc. perhaps this is why...
Anyway, when your engine can rev to 6500 without any trouble (even stock) it's not too bad really.

Respect to you,

Benny

for sure.

if it was my car there's no way i would of hooked up nos, but it was supposed to be the "show car" for the store, so they hooked up everything they could....was fun to play with anyhow.

They just redesigned it for 2008... they look really nice. They sell them as the Toyota BB in Asia.
