Happened across a guard who knows his Hondas perhaps?
Not an unreasonable request to pop the bonnet if your so called 1.4 civic is caught hauling ass is imagine?

Quite a considerable difference between a B16 and a regular 1.3/1.4 in a Civic, for one, VTEC.

Good point but you can put a d16z6 vtec head on a d14a engine and have a 1.4 + vtec and 130hp. If you tune it a bit you go up to 135/140hp or 150 if you go for ITB's

The d16 VTEC is around 120bhp, it's nothing special though and isn't really massively better than a 1.4

A b16 is on another level altogether.

Pulled up to park at this exact moment yesterday without even realising it before hand...

(Didn't notice that smudge until just now either, can't see it in normal light in the car, but it shall be microfibred away! :P )

1000 km... I can't even...

I don't think I'd be even able to drive a car with a 3digit km figure on the odometer.
So used to 6digits I'd be just watching the thing clock up rather than watching the road!

Same! Used to feel awful heading home with dad years ago when he'd pick up a new car, watching double digits turn into triple, knowing there'd never be a blank space there again. A bit weird really! I'd be too busy swerving for flies and trying not to shed too much skin on the gearknob and stuff

I don't have that problem with the Celica :pac:

That just reminds me how long since I spent €70 and a rough guess at how long before it needs it again!
Owning a brand spanking new car is just an alien concept to me.

I don't know if I'd like it personally. When you buy the car it's a new car and as the mileage goes up it just seems to get old

Sub €1000 cars is where the fun is at :pac:

Very philosophical, the inexorable march unto the grave ha.

My old Fiat 128 3p back in the 80's

Foxhole Norman · 22-10-2015 06:07PM

Hit this today:

16,000 miles a year, not bad!

She squats

Looking at getting small spacers for the rear, looks a bit better with them.

Had a 1.4 one for a while. The ugly but pratical lift back. Better 1.4 than vw or ford were still putting into cars nearly 10 years later IMHO!

imurdaddy · 22-10-2015 11:33PM

Not looking too bad for almost 16 years old

emeldc · 23-10-2015 01:10AM

My old E30 with 200K + miles on original engine.

......and my current E46 with 93K miles

GvidoR · 23-10-2015 01:19AM

Surely that must be a rare colour for the E46. Looks very good though.
