So What Car ya Got...56k Beware...

Dagon

Here is my Civic:


Just a regular 1.4i. I love it to bits but it's not fast enough. No major mods. Have a nice momo clone D style leather sports steering wheel which I got off Ebay.

I want to turn it into a 1.6i, currently looking at my options cause I know it's an expensive job...

So far, my fave Cars on this board are:
1. Red Celica
2. Layke Civic

Tinting the headlights would go down a treat. I did it on my old focus, taught it came out nice:



btw, superb car Kaskade

Thanks for the suggestion but nah, definately no tints on the headlights- they are very nice projector-style units so was hoping to convert them to HID if I could find a decent kit!

No offence or anthing, I just aint into tints- dont even have them on my windows!

Focus looks decent though

Why dont you drop a type r engine in?

Probably because of
a) cost of a type r engine,
b) increaced cost in insurance


@kaskade
beautiful car man.

layke

Modding from a standard to a type R is a big job. Your talking replacing your loom, gearbox, ECU and engine. I got a cheap quote of €1200 for the labour involved to do it(excluding parts) where as a 1.6i can be put in straight away and still run off the 1.4i ECU (obviously not to it's full potential).

But if you bring it up to that size engine you will need to eventually replace the clutch to compensate for the extra bhp.

Dagon

Yeah it is a big job layke. I was chatting the guys in tuningfactory, and they reckon you're best to just go and get an entire donor car for yourself if you want to work with a 1.4i, cos you will need to replace so many parts (gearbox, tranny, ecu, etc).

Will prob just get an Integra at some time in the future, instead of trying to make the Civic faster.

I only ask because im buying a diesel after XMas... but I reckon its gonna be a Golf TDI

Smithers

aint tested it yet mate, need to drop it in to someone to test but cant find the time!

layke

Actually about the Toyota Levin.

My mate has a modded Corolla with a 1.6 supercharged levin engine in it. He recently replaced the air intake for a performance model and it's now putting out 200+ bhp. He has a few other mods on it like a custom ECU, gearbox but you get the idea.

I was in itside it when he put the foot down and all I heard was this massive scream and the car shot off. It's faster then a standard type-r at the moment.

EDIT: Forgot to say how it's modified. It's remapped, got speakers in the door panels and alloys.

suggest some OZ SuperTurismos in 18". They suit the car to the ground.
