Had it on the super tracker today, cant see anything that is bent apart from the panhard rod. Did a tracking and all the readings were near spot on apart from the front toe so adjusted that in and she dives nice again now. Looks like i got away with it lightly luckily. 2 badly scuffed wheels, and a bent panhard rod. I know i need a new rear wheel bearing also because when i swapped my wheels over last week when i span the wheel after fitting it was grumbling away, had no side to side play tho :/. They are so expensive too because it comes as a complete hub 87 qiud from our local motor factors place with staff discount! So my shopping list now is nod speed adjustable pan hard rod, rear wheel bearing and windscreen becuse its been badly cracked for a while now. Ill leave some photos because i all know you love photos

Just like every Honda. No torque. So normal driving is pretty boring.
But it does shift and is only 0.3s slower to 60 than an EK4.
On the other hand it's big, has half leather interior and an S9 LSD in the gearbox so it's a monster out the bends.
OP
OP
Yeah I did notice the standard LSD which is a good thing. I want a car for track days...

MB is growing on me. I wouldn't buy anything other than a VTi though.
Being a Rover/Honda bodyshell, I'm finding lot of cheap MG niceties

I like it but I still don't get the whole VTEC thing though.
I can't see myself keeping it for more than a couple of years.
I'm saving for a place to live so the car budget ain't that big
I'm in Andover now so I'll keep a look out !

Tidying up. Like the Micra there is little off the shelf made for the 5door.
I'm eyeing up a Toyosports system and some MesiterR coilovers.

Will sound awesome when you get that exhaust but my brother bought the toyo's port one and it fitted like **** just to give you a heads up. Ended up heating it up and bending it to make it fit properly. I like them civics. LSD as standard such a good base to start from

I've heard the fitment is balls. Supposedly made for the 5door so should fit but it's also just 180quid..
Yup, LSD box with hilariously long ratios. Two wheel skids
