Took some pictures of my brothers car while he was cleaning it to try out the camera:

Nevermind the bumper, was changed back to the stock color after these photos were taken and it looks much better.

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.

SniperSight · 01-02-2013 09:04PM

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.

Toyotafanboi · 01-02-2013 10:18PM

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.
