Ok thx for the advise Iv got myself a type r spoiler off ebay which im hoping to fit at the weekend. Iv also been lookin into improving the handling abit so iv ordered an e-tech front strutbrace from demontweeks n some nice gold skunk2 lower control arms, lower tie bar and jdm anti roll bar...

Finally bought myself a new ride last weekend 1.6 civc sport 04 plate I love it :love: its got all the type r styling and muffler tip etc and the interior is nicer than my last one. Ive bought some lowering springs from funky power which should drop it about 2 inches and a strutbrace & rear...

I've been looking to upgrade from my civic 1.6 for a while now and had my heart set on a type r (convinced i wanted to stick with honda for life lol). But after doing some research into it, its going to cost alot more for me to insure than i've got. So i started looking around at fiesta ST's...

And thanks for your help Prince :blink1:

Thats not to far away. But if anyone knows anywhere closer to the Birmingham area that would be great.

Im from birmingham so if you know anywhere in the west mids that would be great.

Ok nice one Do you have to get the engine remapped or anythin when you do those mods n how much power am i looking at getting for that? A new exhaust would be be nice aswell to give it abit more roar, any recommendation?

http://www.civic-ep2.co.uk/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=dc5567ae22b0f7ef9c85fdc7143f3725&topic=3755.0 Thats the sort of thing im looking to do with mine but he doesnt do any real engine mods. Thats the same engine as mine except he's got the sport and mines an SE so it doesnt have the sports seats...

Ye it's the right engine code take a look on google, think its 112hp stock. Im not looking to get to much power out of this engine, at the most 160hp for insurance purposes. I do prefer the idea of sticking with this engine and trying to get the power out of it if thats possible + im not looking...

Probably 140-150 hp, would it take much to get that out of the D16v1 or is i worth leaving it and saving up for a stock B16A. As I say im not looking for to much power at the moment.

Im lookin to give my 1.6 civic 02 abit more go and growl. Anyone got any ideas as to what the best mods for the D16V1 engine are and how much more power it gives. Im not looking to add to much power for insurance reasons but around an extra 25-30hp would be nice. I've read Princes 'Engine Swap'...

sounds sweet and getting rid of the air cons a good idea, i heard its pretty heavy. Not sure about the colour though lol I'd probs go for a glossy white with black bonnet, rims, spoiler, skirts and wing mirrors. maybe some red highlights to go with a set of red brembos :amuse:

I see, ok thanks lads :p

Ok, for my next car im looking at getting an 04 Facelift civic type R. Still got abit of saving to do but im interested to see what in peoples opinions are the best upgrades for a type R; from the brakes to engine, ECU... I don't really know very much so you'll probably be able to tell me the...

I'm confused... Is a cold air intake a type of induction kit or is it different. And what about long and short ram intakes. Also I read somewhere that you need a heater or sumat with cold air intakes to stop them from freezing in cold weather. If this is true do cold air intakes kits come with...

the caliper looks ok, nothing lose or brake but its making a clicking noise when braking at low speed, pull on the driveway, stopping at traffic lights etc. The machine i took out in it said it might by the ASB or sumat :confused:. Its booked in the garage for wednesday now so probs find out...

i've had a mechanic up the road look at it and he said its the wheel bearings. So i've booked it in to sort it. Thanks for the advice anyway mate nice 1 :blink1:

Couple of day ago i spun my car goin round n island in the wet. It hit the curb and damaged the the rear right alloy. I've had the wheel off and had a look at all the machincs behind the wheel and everything looks ok, nothing bent or cracked and the tracking seem to be ok. I've bought a new rim...

I've been doin some research into the next car i want to get and im keen on the Integra Type R 02>. I was planning a load of mods for my civic but then i thought it might be a better idea to concentrate on saving for my next motor. Has anyone got any usful info on integra type r's pros-cons. Or...

Im with endsleigh aswell atm The cheapest quote i could get for my renewal next year was with admiral 1,500. N thats with 2 years driving, 0 NCB and all the mods i want to make. Still waitin for adrian flux to email me back with quote.

I'm paying 1,600 a year on a stock 1.6 civic and thats the best quote i could get off moneysupermarket.

Ok maybe i should leave the engine stock for now til ive got afew more years + no claims bonus under my belt. Or just look to fit a new air filter and exhaust muffler just to make it look abit more racey. Got some quotes and looks like that'll put my insurance up by £100. :sad2: Was hoping to do...

Thanks for the advise chaps As im still only 18 im not looking to add to much power for insurance purposes :( so i guess an engine swaps out of the question. Probably only looking to add about 30 hp jus enough to make it feel abit more nippy.

Hi Guys Im new to the site and to the modifiying game. Bought myself a 1.6 civic SE 02 plate in February and so far ive been very pleased with it. Ive made afew ICE mods (Head unit, subwoofer etc). Im looking to start doing some performance modification but dont know where to start. Anyone got...
