At about 11am today I bought my first MK2.

I did have a MK4 but this thing is a beast. Anyhow, I thought I would check out some forums and this one seemed to be on the top of most peoples list.

I have been caning it all day and the thing is amazing.

16 Valve, 110k, Full service history, 3 door, black, single headlight conversion, big bumpers... ?700.? :smiley:

The downside!! It comes with 3 spoke alloys!! Nice! :sad:

If anyone can recomend some standard alloys that would be appreciated. The BBS look good but any feedback would be good.

I also have pics but dont know how to post them... any idea's???

Nice one - I bought mine last month - Oak Green 126k, totally original ?1100, and everytime I drive it it always gets looks - dunno why I'm sooooo ugly!!

I sold my Civic Type-r last year and vowed never to buy a new car again, as I lost 2.5k in 9 months on that - jap crap :grin:!!
