Seriously dude.... I own a done up civic..up till now, i let my girlfriend drive it around..i have spent alot of time and money on this civic to the point that it matched up the price of my Skyline...bought my skyline 4 months after i got the civic...not really planning on getting another car...but i saw this silver one on the street and i was like.." mamamia" and it's for sale...just thought maybe i take it for a test drive..so i did...and after that...i took her home 5 days later.

here's what you can do ---> take a skyline for a spin and you'd know what i mean.

if you're thinking of buying a civic and do things up yourself...i suggest get a skyline..you can do alot with a Skyline without being rice.

Skyline eat rice.

Not really man, im 22 with 0% no claim bonus and Famous Classic Car Insurance quoted me $2200 for my r32 gtst, which i think is dirt cheap for this vehicle...

If you do end up getting a civic *shakes head* then it better be a vtec model...they sound sweeeeet with a rampod when the vtec kicks in about 5tho rpm

and if you dont get that then your just silly haha

I pay $960 p.a full comp rating 1, market value $15,500.

There's two types of people.

Rev heads and non-rev heads. :)

The rev heads when on a budget will buy a car that has potential to be its quickest.

The non rev heads are the pretty boys who like to make an impression.

As you get more money these merge. :D

i.e... I bought an ugly TE cortina back when I was 16.5, slapped on a holly mild cam and 2.5" exhaust. Thing went like the clappers.

5 gearbox's and 1 diff later. :D

It went hard and used to have no problems pulling away from what then was a sicko VN V8 commodore as did it have no problems leaving my mates RX7 Series III 13B N/A.

Good fun car that was. Loads of low down torque. Peak power was made at just before 5000rpm. Slightly loopy idle. :D

Its your first car.. Get some thing that hauls arse.

These days you should be able to pick up a cheapish V8 of some sort. Drop a cam in to it and get it going hard.

I gotta disagree, Rev-heads and non rev-heads both equally want to make an impression, just in different ways, every person has a desire to be noticed and appreciated by others, so if you're a rev-head you just want it in a different way, but it's all the same thing, doesn't make you any better.

Personally out of the two options, well I think r32's are a little long in the tooth and don't exactly look too modern nowdays. I mean they looks late 80's.

On the other hand, a civic is a shitty little hatchback that does at least look relatively current model-ish but on the other hand looks stoopid all done up with some giant exhaust on the back. I mean it's not a sportscar, it's not a Type-r hot hatch so why bother making it something it's not.

I'd save up for an r33 a bit more probably.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
