The largest Civic Type R club forum

Just got the Civic on saturday, an easy car to fall in love with. Its a pleasure jumping in a car that wants to rev its knackers off.

How weird is the 6 speed box when you are used to a 5 speed, i had clocked 20 miles on a motorway in 5th before i remembered i had 6 gears :p

Here she is:







Only worries, the wheel bearing noise from the rear that im told is actually uneven tyre wear(no warranty so dont know what ill do about this)

And the fact that the alloys are not in the best condition, a little kerbed and have a little corrosion on them. Anyone recommend a decent wheel repair centre in Ayrshire, Scotland? [/img]

May be better asking about a refurb place here -

Welcome to V-tec land.
Have to keep reminding the better half about 6th gear well seein she don't fuel the bugger. When you see how thirsty they can be 6th will become 2nd nature

Im real happy with the handling, ive clocked around 300 miles since getting it in the wet and dry and it handles much better than my previous car which was an Astra GSi MK4.

30 miles from prestwick. Im near the ayrshire/ D&G borders. 30 miles from ayr and 27 from kilmarnock

I know where the airport is so shouldnt be hard to find. Thanks.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

nice colour mate
they were quite popular in ayrshire a while ago but you hardly see any now!

carrick quoted me £160 and they said it would take a day to do

whats fun is when your used to 6 gears and you drive a 5 speed again and drive about in fourth gear all day

you will find it handles better because mk4 astra's dont handle just like all vauxhalls
