I hear it will have a diesel engine soon too.

Any single car you can think of that would accomodate a high percentage of your requirements?

Outlander doesn't have low range. Forester had it, and it came close to a luxury car-sports car-suv rolled in to one package.

Useful thread. I've read it from start to finish.

Hi GTO,
are you going to install a K&N on this one as well ?

lancer_rit · 2nd April 2010, 16:26

GTO, did you decide on the mods for the rear suspension ?
Also, any plans to increase the rear seat cushion height (which is a Civic drawback) ?

Cheers,

For sure. Either K&N or BMC (strongly recommended to me by a friend from the industry).

Too early for that, Lancer_rit. Right now, I want to put some hard 5,000 kms on the car (previous owner never redlined it). Then, slowly and one by one, the mods start.

BTW, she's being ICE'd as I type.

hey GTO, do update your 'garage' when you get the chance. Just hopped in to check out your jeep and was surprised that the Civic hasnt gotten here yet.

Will do once I have the alloys installed. Wheels, indeed, make the car

a bit late to say but GTO, many congratulations on your buy, what a clean and neat piece you got in that price on offer.White looks majestic.Enjoy your ride.

vishwas · 5th April 2010, 17:26

Congrats!

Car dealers will now start demanding a premium for used Civics with so many people from T-BHP asking for them ;-)

ariesonu · 6th April 2010, 12:56

UPDATE YOUR GARAGE HALL PLEASE..... (Caps because I am shouting this on top of my voice. Congrats & drive safe.

My car's still wearing them. I haven't found a good set of after-markets yet.

My ICE installation was only just completed last evening. I'll have pictures + a report up soon.

sukrit7 · 7th April 2010, 13:21

congratulations!
looking forward to the ice review. do also provide a cost break up if you're alright with that.

I have a few questions to ask you.
one,how did you verify the mileage?(i know there's a separate thread here,wanted to know what you looked at).
two,is autoterrace absolutely reliable?

the car I bought second hand suffered from power steering leakage,how did you check for such kind of failures,problems that do not occur immediately?
thanks!
