Honda Civic Vti aerodeck
Discussion
So im going to be a dad.
Currently im driving a suzuki wagon r, that is half owned between me and my mother.
Im 21 and the plan was for me to sort myself out with a fiesta or suchlike, but now circumstances have changed and the best option for me, looks to be to sell the suzuki, and replace it with somthing ill be happy with for a few years.
After looking at various different cars, it turns out I can sell the suzuki, and buy a civic vti aerodeck without actualy spending a penny. I can also insure it for a very reasonable 1500 a year.
So, im asking the PH massive what they make of these motors? Anyone got one, had one, had six?
They seem rare, but the ones that are about are reasonably priced, and it seems alot of car for the money.
Would love to hear all views regarding this car, and the b18c engine.
Cheers guys!

I have one - well have literally just bought an accord type r , so it is soon up for sale ! - and have had it for about 4 years. It has been a great car. Fun , practical and cheap to buy and run. Especially compared to its other VTI / Type r stable mates. 170 horse power as standard and due to the vtec / IAB design its good on fuel if driven sensibly. I have done a few mods to mine , namely cat back exhaust , integra dc2 air box, full MGZS suspension and rear anti-roll bar so it handles alot better now.

I had it dynoed after 11 years on the road and it pulled 169 HP - just as it left the factory !.
Down sides , well as standard the suspension is too high. The interior is typical 90s jap so not alot of refinement. Also when standard it is nice and quiet really but high geared on the motorway at say 80ish.
Otherwise I cant really think of more downsides. Size wise its not actually that big an estate so with one kid it just gives a bit bigger boot and is easier to load with the buggy etc. I changed to mine when I had the one kid in a bit of a coincidence.
GO for it , oh and look out for mine !. lOl

I had one. Perfect family car for a petrol head. Reliable, decent interiors, well built, quick when using the vtec, economical enough when off it, cheap servicing. The only downside are the marmite looks. Get one in pirate black.
They do look an interesting car - tried one a while back but ended up with a Primera GT as the one I looked at sold quite quickGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
