Chappers Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oh man, i love those civic coupes. Are they good? I'd like one but the gp15 would kill me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy_Sausage Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 that civic was the tits. redlined at 8300, in any gear go past 5000 rpm and it made the sweetest sound , and a 1.6. but yeah was the insurance that killed it... only thing is the acceleator pedal was a touch stiff with it not sure what that was about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Not a bad start. That steering wheel is toss, put a 3 spoke Si one on. If buying an auto to conver to manual...why not buy a manual to save the hassel, can pick one up for same price. 15" or 16" Gti type alloys would look mint on this colour, who cares if they are common they look mint! Keep up the modding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I would, just seems wasted energy converting to manual. Just depends how lazy your left foot gets. Sometimes i wish mine was auto because after a long days graft my legs tend to get tired, yet most the time i dont need a clutch going up gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy_Sausage Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 i think i got brainwashed by my family a lil bit as they all have auto's, lol its not actually that bad i just didnt thin i'd miss a manual as much, kinda feel like it takes somethin away from your drivin experience, if that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well, i borrowed my parents 2.0L 16v crysler neon for a few days while my fiesta was being repaired. It was gutless to say the least but had kick down etc. it wasnt toooooo bad to be totally honest. I have also driven a saab 9000 turbo and that went like sh1t off a shovel even for a manual. Shame the head gasket went. My college lecturer has a mk6 ghiaX which is auto and he says thats fairly quick. In my opinion i like to feel tha biting point because you have more control over the car. The new trucks at work are auto and are crap for fine menoveurs round the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
