Hello HT peeps!

Joined up as i often seem to end up here when searching for answers, and sometimes it would be nice to either try and help out, or ask something further.

Been a 7th gen hatch owner for about 3 years, not a cool kid 3 door though, an old man 5 door (we all hate practicality, so uncool right?)

The tow hook and sticker mod crew in the UK despise the 5 door, but that is fine by me. Most of the UK 7th gen Civics apart from the Type R run D16 motors, but mine came with a K20A3 so it has a little more go, and potential for upgrades

Loads of plans but not much cash, hopefully sorting some decent coilovers out in the next few weeks as the car needs a little drop for looks, and correct setting up should see some handling improvements.

Pics, first Civic:
















Wanted to upgrade this car, but unfortunately it came with a DBW throttle and VSA setup very like the CL9.
After trying to find ways of getting mappable engine management without compromising the cars features i basically gave up, there was not a way to do it without pretty much changing everything.

The earlier models did not have the DBW system, but looked even more like crap than the face lifted version.
However, it turns out that during the revisions, a few face lift cars were built with the old running gear and so i got me one!

Old and new (which is older, wth?!)






Needed rid of those dinky 15" wheels, and being on a tight budget plumped for some cheapo Meister S1R reps:






































The only other thing so far worth mentioning is wiring in an RSX wiper switch so i could have variable intermittent wipers, helpful with our weather!

Coilies to come next, anyway thats my entire frickin life story in pictures

Peace.
