Got a jump and tried to move car and nothing worked no power steering or ABS im guessing water has got in and damaged somthing.

Sounds like the alternator has gone. Try charging the battery and see if it starts. Does it do anything when you turn the key?
i got a jump and the car started you cant let the car idle as when it goes onto idle everything loses power and you have to rev it for everything to come back. my mate had a quick look and said it could be a bearing as he could see something wobbling about.but considering the weather we have had i think the alternator has been flooded the car has been left tonight gonna go back tomorrow jump it and see if it works after letting it dry out.

How the hell did you get that insurance price? Been looking at one of these for myself, I'm 20 had my licence for 2 and a half years (no car but insurance prices have dropped still) and would be looking at £900-£1000!
well im 22 0 no claims and i live in a small village out in the country + i have a stty little black box in my car that does fk all they say it tracks you but since i took out the policy with them i have not heard a single word from them and plus my dad is a named driver that took the price down a bit.it is due for renewal in a month or 2 and i have been quoted £800 with 1 no claims.
wait until your 21 and you will see a drop in your insurance but these are only insurance group 6 so cheap to insure anyway.

R.e the car; looks pretty nice, like that shape civic in red, think a set of ep3 type R alloys would look alot nicer. Also another vote for losing the mud flaps, Honda aren't known for their WRC success...
i would like a set of EP3 alloys but they wont fit sadly as the preface EP2 is a 4 stud compared to the type-r and facelift being 5 stud i could get a set of rep ones they are 16" but very hard to find.
the mud flaps have gone as 1 got ripped off somehow and i lost it so took the rest off.

Act of god losing the mud flaps!
Regarding insurance, I got raped for my DC5 the year I had it. £1800 per year. I now pay £400ish for it, Ive had it ages, I'm 33 now mind. I have an S2000 too, that is £450 a year.
Both White with red Bride seats. Love them both although I'm feeling an itch to swap the DC5 for a 370Z.
Back to yours EP after my tangent, I wouldn't go for EP3 wheels even if they fitted, it would look like every other EP3 with smaller kit. They did 16" version of the wheels for the sport. I really liked your white wheels by the way
you have a white S2000 and DC5? i have just grown a dislike to you. i would love a DC5 or S2k but would have to be white i think white is the best color for any honda.Regarding insurance, I got raped for my DC5 the year I had it. £1800 per year.

i agree im not a fan of the EP3 wheels everyone has them and the 16" once are hard to find plus they are kinda small i prefer 17".
as for the white ones i did like them but they were buckled as they came with the car when i bought it so i just kinda put up with it until i could get new ones so im thinking of spraying the onces i have white.

No offence but why does almost every civic thats been modified in any way have one of those big sticky outy tow hooks on?
i dont know really its just the style i think but i quite like the whole civic jdm look if you know what i mean.and i got it for £10 along with gear knob and gator so cant fuss about it they are normally £35 so pretty much got for free.
