You need to talk to the sensei @fuel

I replaced front springs and shortened my shocks then reset rear leaves, no blocks from memory. Can take some photos of stance and see if it is to your liking then provide details?

3sge/gte?

What are they like compared to the old b16a civics that rev for days? I have an ek that loves to rev.

K11 curb weight is approx 820kg. I can't imagine there being a massive variable there between models. 

Ooh very nice I like them more and more. I think maybe sr20 + lsd might make these a handful.

What do they weigh in 2 door manual guise?

Dem rims though.

That turbo. Looks like someone chucked a handful of bolts into it at full noise. Love the project good luck.

A53c? Wow cool project. I’ve got a few a57c parts but shipping would be killer. Good luck!

edit: thanks mod my bad.

Ha ha exactly. 

Please k20a the lucky recipient

Awesome car - I learnt to drive in the exact same car - yellow 4 door hatch. Super shift?
 

partzonline has standard service parts, gaskets, seals etc... so you could feasibly do the valve stem seals yourself.

good luck

Were these selectable 4wd with button on the gear stick like the 4wd justys? Remember test driving one back in the day at turners and I’m pretty sure they go hard for what they are.

what a shit yarn.

I have had many sweet rides in the past.  Some went great, some looked great and some were just straight fun or cool.  Most were never all 3.  The most common theme was having to sell before purchasing something different.

If I had my time again there is one car in particular I would keep.  Mostly because of the amount of hours, sweat and blood I poured into it.

If you had your time again what would you have kept and why?

This GTO was what got me into them! Awesome!

2019 Honda Civic Type R FK8 Mugen (119)-Edit by Richard Opie, on Flickr

I had this for an extended weekend for a job, and I can confirm it is hyper crisisey. What's more crises-spec than some middle-aged fella owning THAT MANY SPOILERS.

Would recommend. It also goes fast as fuck,

I would second this and they are also surprisingly practical and comfortable.

Going to look at a couple of Mitsi Canter based motorhomes - does anyone have some advice on what specifically can go wrong with them and to look at? Like do they rust in particular areas? Warning signs of engine/trans due to die etc? I’ve got limited experience with anything truck based so all advice greatly received!
