I wouldn\'t let my mrs near my motor. She\'d probably think using a scouring pad to get the dirt off is a good idea...

She\'s had her car for a year and a half and its been through a carwash *shudder* once.

There\'s always the possibility it could have been stolen?

Seems odd for someone to risk a £110,000 car for no reason.

Also highlights the ineptitude of the police that a few people on a forum can track a car in under 2 hours when the police can\'t.

Can anyone estimate what the life expectancy is on a single turbo engine running 400-450bhp?

It\'s a Type-R with 103,000 km, but the seller won\'t ship internationally.

Interestingly it says 4WD :confused:

Someone on here has some pop-ups that are different to standard that looked really good, but i saw them when searching so i\'ve no idea what they were. They were angled more and the bulb casing was divided in two

Phone the local police station and ask them to run a check on the plate to see if its stolen.

Nothing like a guy showing his nob to take things off topic

I had an old red Corsa that got named Animal...because it wasn\'t.

I think thats the only car thats been named though

A Kev is a chav i believe... :2eek

but my # plate is EMO.. urgh im so depressed....  :Grrr

uh oh

Used to be a whizz with photoshop but its been so long since i used it i can\'t remember anymore :/

Thanks a lot

Thanks guys
What sort of mechanical reliability do you get?
The car is heavily modded and running 447whp, so while the parts are new and less likely to fail, if they do it\'ll be costly :/

Also, regarding insurance, how anal are most companies with mods. As its hard to actually figure out what mods produce what gains and what needs declaring. Are they likely to blag their way out of a claim at the slightest sign of an undeclared mod?

Hey there,

I\'m currently considering a swap for a 1993 Single Turbo rex.
Infact its for Mr J.T\'s old car.

I currently drive a Black (Fastest colour) 2004 facelift Civic Type-R.

I\'m after some advice really. The CTR engine is designed to run at 8000rpm and i\'ve heard rumours that if you don\'t vTEC every day it turns into a potato How does an RX7 engine compare to this. Is it a case of stay away from the redline or is it also a free revving engine that likes to be pushed?

Also, can someone give me an idea of yearly running costs please? I\'ll be doing about 4000miles a year as i\'ll get a second diesel for the daily commute. I\'m aware that oil and filters need to be changed every 3000 miles (probably 2000). How much should this cost?
How often do plugs need changing and how much do they cost?
How long do tyre\'s tend to last (when you\'re not on track days or santa pod) and does anyone know the life span of Diamond Black Drilled and Grooved brake discs?

Does anyone have any contact details for Mr J.T? I was going to PM him and ask him a few questions, but I just found out i can\'t :3Confused

Thanks in advance!
