Default Honda Ballade (ferio) South Africa

Hello guys.
I've owned this car for 8 years and even after having a few other newer cars,none of them
Meant anything close to what this car does so I would like to share our friendship.
I call it a friendship because that's what we have a only like minded car guys will understand.

Alrighty then.
The year I got him, 2007 and I was finishing my last year in school


now as a young,dumb and broke high school teenager I made a few changes but through trial and error I outlived my ricer years lol.


This is the look I settled on for a while and I daily drove the car for a few years






Around 2012 I managed to save up enough money to buy another car as a daily drive and
Actually focus on the Honda.
I began saving money and collecting parts.
rims,coilovers,poly bushes etc.

While saving up for parts I told all of my friends that I sold the car
fast forward a few years everything was fitted and I surprised my friends by pulling up
With the same car I said I sold (sneeky sneeky)


Anyway sorry for the essay, here is how the car currently sits and gets enjoyed on weekends









Thanks for looking and any feedback would be appreciated at this stage

Thanks for the kind words bud. I have made the decision a couple years back already that this car will never be for sale. It has way to much centimental value. Don't they have eg sedans in Canada ?

Ah I understand. Well to be honest I stay in South Africa and locally the car is called a Honda Ballade. But I doubt the name is used anywhere else in the world lol

beautiful car bro......only critic is that awkward squared off black box you painted on your front bumper cover, it looks terrible makes your bumper look broken or chopped up. I would strongly suggest repainting it like oem. but besides that lil thing, the car is very clean. i love ferios

Hey Bro, thanks for the kind words, lol the bumper was painted years ago when I was a ricer hehe, I also prefer the OEM look so next time the bumper gets knocked ill paint it the proper colours haha.

Small update for now during this wet winter.

Managed to grace the bumper coming out of the garage so should be painted soon.
Also was able to find a fresh set of seats so I'm excited to fit them and dump those horrible bucket seats lol

Different isn't better. A solid b16 swap in a civic is a lot of fun.

I hear you, but think how much fun it would be chatting with the b series owners saying "your car's are tuned with laptops, mine is tuned with a screw driver
