That 1.4 civic that was posted a while back just to go back on that as I was browsing Donedeal just now and came across it again. He is asking €10,500. Is he off the head and it's not even mint. Steering wheel worn. Drivers seat has stains and there are a few dents in body work. All he has to do is look at what other of that gen 1.4 civics are going for which is a small bit over a grand or under a grand.

Which one was that?

Wibbs · 30-05-2021 09:48AM

This one https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-civic-e6-ej9-hatchback/27802584 I think?

Lol I’d love to have whatever he’s smoking

Wibbs · 30-05-2021 10:31AM

And there's this one https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/1-4-ej9-honda-civic/28274166 that needs work for 1500 quid, best offer takes it and if you put the difference of nine grand into it you'd have a much better car.

Wibbs · 31-05-2021 11:53AM

Or this https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-integra-dc1/28287683 slap a K20 donk into it and if you did a bit of the spannering yourself you'd not be far off 10k and have a lot more car. Hell if that's a genuine Mugen phase 1 spoiler, that's near 2k on its own(to Americans anyway).

I know this is the wrong thread but take a look at this stunning Twincam. It looks absolutely pristine, not surprised it's sold. https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/sold-sold-sold/28145055

It is mint and I don't know how much it sold for but from what I remember that was up for a high price. Is it worth it is up to the guy who has a fair chunk of change in the bank.

£33.5k stg, still on the add.

They've definitely reached old ford status now anyway

From the listing; "£33,500 Sterling or euro equivalent NOT Negotiable".

Tzardine · 31-05-2021 04:15PM

I don't get the love for the twin-cam at all. Just not my cup of tea.

But I will say one thing, I never see one that is anything but mint. They guys that have them keep them in amazing nick.

The_Dark_Lord · 31-05-2021 04:15PM

I'd say a lot of fellas would take that Twincam over a similar condition mk4 Supra.

I'd love a mk4 Supra and the only mods I'd like would be a modern(spool faster) single turbo setup.

At least you can drive the bag out of the twincam and knock a bit of craic out of it, you'd barely get a big single supra spooled up these days with garda/speedvan/pedestrians/cyclists/those reporting types with camera evidence

There's alot of them that look fresh on the outside but very ropey underneath. Mine is both ropey on the outside and even worse underneath

The twincam is dangerously reaching the territory where its going to be wrapped up in cotton wool and people will miss out on driving the skin off it like it was intended.

In the late 90s these were cheap fun trash cars you could use and abuse, if you have one for years thats stood you nothing you can continue like that but buying one for 30k? You just cant use it like its intended at that price.

Twincams have been there for quite a while.

Half of all is200s sold in England must be sitting on Irish forecourts on saturday nights at this stage.

I'm a strong believer in using and abusing cars, friend an immaculate twin cam. Drives it maybe twice a year, it's one of those bubbles all year round. As long as he's had it its never seen so much as a kick of the clutch. Such a waste of a car

CianRyan · 31-05-2021 10:27PM

I bought ticket for that red twin cam doing the roads, if I win it it will be a drift car.
Not sorry.

That had me tempted, was that for sale for around 14k sterling? Throw in an sr and then track just to really piss people off

I didn't see it before hand, they're claiming it's a fresh import but who knows really. Even if it's pure rust, it'd be €20 worth of fun.

Ah now, that would be too sensible. Why not a 13b or an OM606? :pac:

There was one very very similar to that one in fermanagh that was a fresh import so I'd say it is the same one

Pristine competitions have a gold twin cam up as well for £25 if anybody is interested.

Looks like that was won a few weeks ago. Winner must have taken the money & it's up again

I bought one too. I haven't won anything since I won an Easter egg in 5th class almost 30 years ago.

There must be great money to be made running these competitions as they were advertising a beach front apartment the past two or three weeks or £200,000 or 250k or 300k cash cannot remember the exact cash figure. So if they can be offering those cash figures they must be pulling in a nice salary for themselves.

If you look at rkings and do the maths on some of the cars they are clearing serious cash. Fair dues to them for a great idea.

On a par with the musical pencil case I won in either 3rd or 4th class (you know the rigid plastic ones that had the small keyboard on them)

Well I may have won a fiver on a scratchcard since.

And the winner of dreamer of the year is... Part 2!
