Dan's Civic Coupe

I do like your Civic, really do like what you've done with it.more I see the engine it makes me want to get a hold of the 1.8 VTi engine for mine.

And how you keep Domo in yours, funny how the two Civic's on the forum both have a 'companion' in theirs, mine is Turbozilla. ;)

What alloys are they, and what size's are they?

Ha cheers man :) You'd love the B18 for yours trust me!

These days Domo has a friend for him to ride with, Turbozilla is cool, not seen him in a car yet. A handful of people have mascots on my jap car forum, including Yoshi and Asimo lol.

My alloys are Rota Slipstreams - 16x7 with 205/16/45 soft and sticky toyos :)

The slipstreams are copies of Desmond Regamaster Evo's, which in turn are copies of Spoon SW388's :lol:

I can't tell the difference between the Desmonds and Spoons myself, aside from the rear markings, Desmonds being Russian and Spoons Japanese (I hope).

History lesson over lol.

I think you've solved my search for rims. :D As Finding minilight's for a cheap price seem to be hard(worse for RS Watanabe's), also though of using the rims from the MG/Rover group as they'd fit on. (one set for the R25 looks a bit like minilight's). Still got a wee while to decide though as going to get the new suspension/Shockers & wheels at the same time after the MoT (October)...unless the rear fails before then :lol: ( Advisory last time, and all the luggage ive been lugging about for homers won't be helping).

As for the engine, we'll I'll see how i'm feeling when she hit's 100k on the clock. ;)

My intake mounting arm broke so I got it welded and resprayed in civic type r (ep3) Cosmic Grey

Got my mid pipe custom repaired so it has a new silencer now instead of a flattened one, the pipe has been cut and welded angled up more so now she doesn't scrape! :D
