10 months I had it. To be honest most my cars come and go in a year. The S2K is the only one that has stuck around.. that’d be gone too if I was rich enough for a Honda Nsx.OMG, i thought you were going to keep it for a lot longer !

SW388s? Looking very tidy!
We picked up a GE6 Si model recently as a 'sensible' car and I have to admit they have a certain charm to them. Fitted a Mugen front grille and have some more minor cosmetic bits planned just for fun.

Wish they were.. rota slipstream replicas. I’ll be getting some genuine wheels soon.
This one has a k20 engine out of civic type r and a few extra mods on top. 1000kg around 250bhp, launch control etc
it’s hilarious to drive.

Where do find these things!?
I would love a project Jazz, maybe I should just keep my Tourer and get a Jazz or CRZ to mess around with with the money I don't have, stupid house and responsibilities

This one was owned by my mates other half.. she got it from the guy that actually swapped it and imported it. It needs a few things doing but I got it for a decent price and will have a few months of fun before going for something else
Js racing in Japan built one with a k swap and it’s crazy around tsukuba

Yeah I've seen it, I love them and considered one many times but it's just too small. Tried to talk my Mrs into buying one but she doesn't get it
Good luck with it, can't wait to see what you do with it but sounds like you aren't keeping it for long

Well, that got a genuine "what the..." and a laugh from me, well done.More old cars

haha, my other half was like “this is not a you car, what is wrong with you?” To be honest, I just need to try random cars. And one had to go to make space for another, the S2K is a keeper and I was looking at dc5 integras etc but most were either rotten or selling for £15k+. This fit needs some work but once it’s sorted it’ll be a fun little thing to trash around. I have no clue how long I’ll own it but I’m on a mission to swap cars and try as many as I can.Yeah I've seen it, I love them and considered one many times but it's just too small.

Went out for my first spirited drive today! I never do that, just drive to... Drive. Loved it, what a fun car
51,000 miles, 1 owner from new now in his 70s and decided to sell up. It's a 1.8 Sport something something, not really sure
Feels like it drives well, nothing stands out as being off. I'd like to get it on a ramp and see what it's like underneath at some point, as I now understand these are known for hidden issues with regard to rust etc.

Front chassis rails are what you need to look at. Take all the front under-plastics off.
Nice looking car. It will be a 1.8 SVT I imagine.
They are incredibly fun. I miss my old one.

SVT sounds right! Yours looked great
With regard to such issues as the chassis rails, are these things picked up on MOTs? I'm guessing maybe not if hidden behind loads of stuff.
They guy rarely used it in recent years, been kept garaged and SORN'd over the winters. Not necessarily always a good thing, lack of use I mean but hopefully I don't run in to any issues there.

Suddenly I've started using the Shell garage that's a 30 min round trip through country lanes to fill up since getting mine

excellent!Is yours this era aswell? What's the consensus regarding fuel type on these? The guy swears he always used E5, But surely E10 would be a non issue

No, mine is a 2005-2015 model. E10 is fine, but if you're not doing many miles you may as well stick E5 in.
