Administrators hughezee Posted March 30, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Not sure what's happening with this one currently, whether Nikkis Dad will like the civic or we end up giving this one back to him de-catted? We thought we might keep it as a courtesy car, but I have another car in mind, more on that as it develops.😁😜 Either way, it is due a good service, replacement alternator (as they fail like clockwork on these) timing belt, water pump etc. rear brakes etc. Collection of parts coming along nicely, found an an old fabvourate for this gearbox too. 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted April 15, 2021 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Still not sure what's happening with this one 🤔 it has had a new alternator, timing belt & water pump, rear brakes, pollen filter, wheels balanced, alignment done etc, basically a major service now. Also fitted a better CAT back exhaust too and running a lot better with more power now 😁 front brakes ordered and A.C work needed.🖐️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted May 2, 2021 Author Administrators Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Covered almost 500 miles in this motor now, new brakes all round working perfectly, fuel economy much improved too and it's not used a drop of oil either, so up yours modern cars 🖕. Now waiting on a few bits to arrive from Japan before valve lash adjustment and valve cover oil seals. A.C work and some rust proofing to follow, maybe a few cosmetic jobs later in the year to keep it looking smart. 👍 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Retro Rich Posted May 2, 2021 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Very well looked after. It certainly would have been on the scrap heap long ago without Stu’s intervention 👌 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did all the work that was needed timing belt, brakes etc regardless of whether he wanted it back or not and the civic was all sorted so it was easy for him I guess and he told me he was losing sleep over the accord being targeted again. 🥵 So on that note we officially transferred ownerships yesterday and I have been busy ordering all the unnecessary bits now 😆 as I like all our fleet to be 100% and everything working as it should. 👍 Aiming to use it as the daily toot automobile as well as courtesy car starting next month, everything should be completed by then.🤞 1 hour ago, PTR200S said: Any news on the scrotes??? 🤬 No nothing, police never got back to him and he's not chasing it either apparently... 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted June 7, 2021 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Well after treating or replacing rusty power steering lines, I decided it was time to fit the new radiator and what a completely unnecessary waste of my time that was, why can't aftermarket parts just fit FFS.😡 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted May 17, 2022 Author Administrators Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Feeling extremely angry and sad as I have a allot of history with this car I am gutted in fact 😭 the car has had its CAT stolen for the third time. So I have decided to move it on for parts, I got a fair price (above scrap) as the dismantler could see it had been well looked after. Their parts business started out with Honda's and assured me it will keep a few more going, especially as a lot of parts will interchange with the more cherished model like the Type-R. Maybe painting the CAT in bright VHT red would have deterred the thieves as I have done with so many others vehicles? End of an era, I guess ☹️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted May 17, 2022 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 What a disaster! Sadly this has happened to oh so many otherwise excellent cherished cars. But it is particularly annoying when you have put in so much effort. Hearty commisserations from me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
