    Yeah that's what I presumed, no way it shifts like a sequential would, good as it may drive.


    The tow bar really sets it apart.

    While the above may look like a Honda accord 2.2 cdti with electric heated leather seats according to the ad it is in fact a "rocketship" which seems amazing value for 1650 and it being nct'd till 2018. The full tank of diesel in the pic will presumably get you to the moon and back......

    These early diesel accords can give a few expensive problems and that example sounds like it's been ragged from the description in the ad

    Yeah. Disgraceful. The only rocketships are the Golfs and Passats TDIs :(

    No way a standard Turbo and Injector setup will produce 200hp.
    These need a lot more work than just a remap, and EGR delete to produce those kind of figures, in addition the de-cat actually causes a lot of problems with these engines, they need back pressure.
    I'd avoid that one.

    Yes unless he just went full on **** it remap.
    The are 140 standard so 60 extra wouldn't be as straight forward.
    If he had said 170 I'd believe him.

    Honda Civic Aerodeck.

    Fairly sure this I saw this on here last year with little or no NCT... maybe in the fixerupper thread.
    Looks like it was cleaned up since. Unusual car.

    https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-civic-aerodeck/14468555

    No decent photo of outside. Inside looks very clean.
    1999
    100k miles
    1.6 petrol
    NCT 07/2017
    €850


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,540 ✭✭✭Special Circumstances


    Aerodeck boy is well proud of those seats and the rear bumper isn't he?
    Bizarre phototaking.

    Pirate Black aerodeck VTi would be nice though.

    That's one for the collection. 3 door and all!

    Would probably make it into the top 5 of most reliable cars ever made too.

    True, but the fact that someone thought enough of the car to tax it for the year inspires confidence more so than a 6 for €1k
    yeah i taxed my mitsubisi 2.0 did for 12 months, after eight weeks the immobiliser went on it, main stealers looking for 800 for a new one, i got a galaxy while i await a second hand one some place, i have just come across a guy on flea bay who claimes to be able to repair it and return the parts for 110 stg, i might i might i mightent

    You can get a refund on the tax if you scrap it.

    I think the lad off the dancing show last weekend make Blackface legitimate again - so Lyons can revive the campaign (can you believe it was still running in the 90's)
