Hi you lot, didnt konw where the appropriate place to put this was, but i thought id just show ya what im up to with it.

initial plans were to keep it standard as i wrote off my Modified EP2 by hitting a stagg.:







So i brought a 2008 Civic Type S GT 1.8i-Vtec:

i brought it like this..:::



I had a KW V1 Coilover kit fitted on Saturday. here how it sits!













im going to get some fresh pics next weekend, as i think its sitting even lower now.

I Hope people like it, if not ahwell cant please everyone, but i cant get over how different it looks, i absolutely love it now!

got a few more plans! thanks for looking!

 

not a bad looking car...wheels look good

 

will you trade your wheels for my si wheels???

 

you do know that hes in the UK right so ur gonna have to pay international shipping

 

paint quality looks better than ours...
what size of the rims?

 

Man that thing is ugly.

 

i like how those hatchs look. is it a sohc vtec motor? i'm guessing so by the 1.8L. any interior shots?

 

nice car.

 

Did you add that lip kit, or do they not come colour matched?

 

The little colourcoded bits on the bottom in the original pictures an OEM accessory

Heres a coulpe of updated pics...






I know not everyone likes it lol, very split opinions on it over here in england too.

 

I love this model! You got a pretty sweet ride!

 

Very cool car...def something I would have bought if I could of.

 

i want it soooo bad. the color and body are redic... how fast is it aji621?

 

BTW What color is that? Thanks

 

I read somewhere that those handle like ****. No multi-link rear suspension.

 

I wish we had civic hatches here in the US. That thing is SO bad -***!!!!!!

 

its not very quick- 140bhp

but i am only 19 and 'cause of english insurance laws etc i cant insure anything over a 2.0 for sensible money, and in comparison to other cars this is quite cheap to insure thats why im driving it untill im 21

the Colour is "Tangerine Orange"- cant find the code i have gone to check, if you want it i will find out for you though.

There not aweful, but not brilliant, like i said i changed it to KW V1 coilover kit, handels much better but it is a shame about the rear suspension.

Cheers mate :-)

thanks mate

 

It would never sell in the states. Not with those heads/tails.

OP: Did you paint the lips?

 

Amazing, nice car...

 

so its an r18 motor? besides the headlights/grille i think they are kinda cool

 

one of the friends of the family owns and runs a successful bodyshop, so he did it for me for real good price.

Thanks dude

Yeah the R18

 

There was a comparison between the 08 Type R version and the 04 Type R EP on Top Gear, and the EP put that thing to shame. All in all the motor was about the same, but the handling characteristics and suspension components wasn't up to par with what a Type R should be.

Still a cool LOOKING car, not much more than that.

 

must be slow as **** wit dem big wheels on it

 

oh dont get me wrong the Ep3 is a far superior car handeling wise,

but i cant insure anything with power at the minute like i said, im only 19.

When i crashed my ep i didnt want the same agian but i wanted to stay honda as im pretty loyal when it comes to it i've had six in the last year, & I just wanted a car that looked alright which was nice to drive on our roads over here, Until im 21 when i can insure things i want.
And its not THAT Slow for what it is but its not fast. & it could be alot worse.

 

The interior is really awesome though. I would love if my Si looked like that inside.
