Why the camber on the rears?

Not really good for everyday use.

I had the same question, but my brother is more a Style over Function kind of guy and prefers the look. I must say though the camber does look well from behind. He does plan on cambering the front to the same degree at some stage.

I like it, not every car has to be a street racer.
He needs to spray that bumper though.

Thanks guys, I'm delighted with it.
Regarding running costs its hard to say yet as I only bought her yesterday, but its certainly doesn't feel like its anywhere near the horror stories you might hear about V8s and petrol. Driving home yesterday on the motorway it was constantly around the 8-10 l/100km.
Obviously put the foot down and it turns into a pure beast, barking and shouting at passers by:-)

S4 is a nice car and parts are alot cheaper than RS4's afaik as they are mass produced

Nice car, well wear

Already put back to the stock color tonight. Only reason he had the orange one on was because the splitter was fcuked on it. I'll see if I can get some pictures of it tomorrow.

I saw that S4 for sale, I was admiring it! A lot of car for the money.

Only a 1.3 as it's his first car on his own insurance policy. This was the engine before the current 1.4 as my brothers Civic was manufactured in the same year they finished up the EG where the engine comes from.

Nope the 1343cc 1.3 engine continued in the EK civics until production finished in 2000. There was no 1.4 version in japan. The 1.3 engine in the EG is different also. It's has a carburetter instead of the fuel injection system the EK civic has.

Well, you learn something new everyday. Should have mentioned it's a Jap import as well.

Yes It's an EK2 jap import. The european version of the same car was called an EJ9 Civic and came with the 1.4 1396cc engine. Both engines are nearly identical apart from the eu version being uprated.

Ha...was torn when specc'ing it, wasn't sure about it so decided against it and told myself I could get a wrap. As it happened I liked it without the different coloured roof.

dar83

I was looking at potentially getting one a couple of years back, I think the green is definitely the nicest colour for them, but the piano black roof is definitely what I'd be going with. It's just part of its appeal for me.

Still looks well though, have you ever considered lowering it a bit? They could definitely do with sorting a little flatter and lower to increase their presence.

Yeh once the warranty is up, I'll be getting it remapped and possibly lowered.

And I agree, it could definitely do with some lowering

dar83

That one even has the proper roof! :P

Does suit it a lot though, sitting that bit lower.

Check if skoda can supply lowering springs or a suspension kit like the vw racing kits. They would keep your warranty intact. Vw also do remaps in the UK that are approved.

Looks like it.

A mate of mine is doing a similar brake upgrade to his Starlet Gi.
