New Tip Top at last!
Some of you may have read my last thread on which car to buy here: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=99968
I looked at a load of Civics, all of which were either dog ruff or way way overpriced, turns out in the end the answer was none of the above and I
ended up falling for this instead:
It's fast, great to drive, full of stuff including 4 balloons, has a good boot and is of course 4 wheel drive which is great for going anywhere
fast around here as there is so much crap in the lanes etc it really is difficult to get any sort of power down with just the smallest steering angle
on. It's also cheaper to insure than the Fabia vRS?!?!?! and has PLG tax being <01, super duper...

Looks like a nice car. Well done. Top colour too. Even prettier when they are washed!

nice, what you pick it up for?
did you realise it is now against the law to own a non remapped 1.8 20vt. Espically with the k04 turbo

hahahaha
i don't know if it's got a K04 or 3 as it's the 210bhp model
It was 5495 with 2 owners fsh nearly 100k but that was from a trader with a (limited) warranty but all the niggly little things done and a full
service before I collect which I thought was fair enough as it's quite a nice one and most importantly drives well
Edit: Just looked it up and it's a K04, wish it wasn't in a way, you sods!...................

sounds like a good buy, well done.
yeah all the S3's are K04, there is no major difference between 210 & 225 models. the engines are slightly different, but most importantly
map to roughly the same. the 210 will get 265, and what a difference it makes. I had a TT up till a few months ago and mapped was SO much better to
drive
good luck with it, lovely car for the money
