lol. I think I've missed the boat tbh. Need the sun to FO and it to snow so the prices come down.

I notice there are two sizes of S2000 decats available. why?
70mm and a smaller one?
can you find them on fuelly? (can't remember if you can drill down to specific models)
They won't be that different though, a few mpg either way?
Hi guys, I'm looking at getting an (8th gen, 2006-2011) Civic, preferably the 2.2 i-cdti.
Has anyone here got one? Or know of anything specific to look out for?
I've been researching them to death and the main negative point I've seen is the rear spoiler obstructing vision.
Had a go in my friend's 1.8 Civic yesterday and fell in love with the interior (I'm coming from an '05 plate VW Bora 1.9 tdi) and also the amount of boot space.
Thanks![]()
The clutch is the weak point in the 2.2 version! Apart from that, its a very quiet engine compared to the VW PD lump, however power delivery is also very different to the VW.
Me personally, I'm looking to go back to a Bora from the civic as I prefer the build quality of a VW!
Does anyone have real world MPG figures on the Accord Type S 2.4 and 2.0?
Ideally I want the 2.0 to keep running costs down, but the second hand market for the Accord Type S is really dire! So potentially looking to broaden my search by including the 2.4
Thanks

Few S2000 questions for Simon and co. Got my cheque from the insurance company. EP3 sold to a work mate!
Do the early 1999/2000 ones all have rusty rear arches?
How many miles have you put on your clutch?
What other problems have you had? Are the engine mounts still good with 100k+ miles?
Does the roof still work OK? (I think I'd want a hard top though tbh).

Thanks Simon. How bad are the arches? I know your S2000 has been used "properly".
I think I'm going off the S2000 idea tbh. I don't want to buy at the bottom of the market. I can stretch to 4.5k which simply isn't enough for sub 100k miles with a recent clutch and hard top.
Prices are only going to rise towards the summer too.
