	Dont wanna be blowing loads of dollar on insurance though. What are the 1.5i LS like to tune?? Can you get more power out of them easily?? I am with Liverpool Victoria so can do any mods I want. I know Vtec doesn't mean fast, but I was going on the thought of the Vtec being a stronger engine and also having a better capability for modding the engine.

Could you explain this futher, I really dont know that much about Civics as yet, trying to find stuff out though. With the EK you have 4 different engines.. 1.4i - 90hp non vtec 1.5i LS - 115hp vtec (vtec-e I think... not performance... 55+mpg at 70mph is good though). 1.6i ES - 130hp vtec... auto only grrrr unless you go for a coupe. 1.6 VTi 160hp twin cam B16a. So unless you can get insurance on a VTI then a 1.5 it is.. coupes are pretty rare. OK it's not overly slow, but if you think vtec means fast then you'd be mistaken with a 1.5. 0-60 is like 10.5. Gearing is pretty long. For £6000.... £4000 on an EK VTi, and spend the rest on insurance. Sorted.

	Yeah, thats why I was thinking of the 1.5i LS, pick them up for reasonable money, get some phat rims on and all that. And the 1.5 is definatly quicker than my 1.2 8v shite.

I used to be like you and think that they were boring old mens cars.. then I drove one.. Got a Teggy now.

	Get some quotes first. The insurance on a VTi for me is about 500 more than an LSi... which is what... the price of some manky wheels. 1.6 EG ESi is fairly nippy. Avoid EK if you are looking for speed with a non vti.
Makarus	posted on 11th Oct 03 at 09:53
	Oh right, fair enough. So which models would people recommend considering my age and insurance, was thinking of a maximum of group 10, but I would really like VTec, well you have to really with a Honda.

	I dont live near Bradford/Huddersfield but I do have family up in Huddersfield, why should I stay well clear?? Yeah, cgonna have a look around for pics. Just cant hack the Corsa any more, far too many around. And everything has already been done.

	Yeah I would love to go for a VTi but seen as I am only 18 I cant afford to insure such a thing. I want something with a bit more power than my 1.2 8v and something that you dont see as often as Corsa's. Which models come with VTec then, thats what I am looking forward to most.

	Defo go 4 the Vti :D
antscorsa	posted on 11th Oct 03 at 07:52
	defo get one they have so much modding potential compared to the corsa, i luv em and hopefuly will soon b gettin one
l33t corsa	posted on 11th Oct 03 at 07:41
	Sohc civics are nothing special.. I have one lol. Save for the VTI, you will not regret it. Ask Gibbs, he's had both.

	if u can afford the petrol and insurance, go for the vti ;)
Nismo	posted on 11th Oct 03 at 03:37
	if your gonna gat a civic put the extra cash and get the VTi outstanding performance for a 1.6 there nice i really like this type
Makarus	posted on 11th Oct 03 at 02:46
	Been looking into Civics, really got my eye on a 1.5 LSi, nice one for sale pretty close to me, already kitted up, just needs some more stuff adding to finish it off. But what do you guys think of them, also do you know what I should look out for with these cars when going to buy?? Cheers, Sean.
