Shes in need of a good wash, but this crazy weather this weekend has put me off.










since owner ship, a service, top engine mount and volvo strut brace (thanks to P1CK4D) is all its got from me but to come by the beginning of june, a MTE remap (that would be around 280-300bhp) and a cat back exhaust.

other than that, my civic is now sold and i have no regrets in selling as i love every moment i drive this! i can only imagine the mte map and the new exhaust note will make me grin even more! i tell thee, that the sound of a 5cyl and a turbo is better than the sound of vtec.


comments welcome!

Nice. Can't beat a good ol' wolf in sheeps clothing.

I learnt to drive in a Volvo 740 Turbo, and it was awesome. It kept up with so many cars you just wouldn't expect it to.

Craig P: have'nt really worked on the engine as such, but its a pain if you loose tools or nuts, the engine seems to eat them all up!

the exhaust system im looking to get is a Ferrita stainless sports exhaust.

Not a massive fan, but can see the appeal given the figures from a remap! What power do they run standard?
