Opinion on 3rd gen for sale

Thank you ! I'll look into picking up those when I can. The car had been booked into the garage for sometime but one thing or another got in the way. Update on this is, I've just picked up the car and only done a mile or so but whilst it is reasonably fresh in my mind, that the super pro kit has bee...

Opinion on 3rd gen for sale

So a little update on this, I was intending to have a go at changing some of the bushes myself, but having watched a few videos and read a lot of comments I decided against it due to the lack of tools, garage to work in and experience having never done this before. So a visit to my local place and t...

Opinion on 3rd gen for sale

Thanks, been a busy few days but a little update, I've put on about 300 miles on the car all I can say is it made me smile again :) I'd lost the love for driving and only really drove when I had to - this has changed that, and the retro blown speakers and the low seating position made me feel young ...

Thanks for the words of confidence folks!
So it needs all suspension bushes, and I think super pro cover them so that's doable.
And it has under body corrosion so that'll need treating.
I'll keep you posted chaps!

Opinion on 3rd gen for sale

I guess the question is, why wouldn't you buy it?! Looks in decent condition, log time owner, lots of documented work. Owns another old civic from the pictures - all positive signs. Price seems fair, they don't grow on trees. If you want it you've got to act on your impulse. Wheels won't be glued o...

Opinion on 3rd gen for sale

Hi all, Still on the hunt for the elusive 3rd gen and this has come up for sale again. It's been on a number of times but I was put off by the 3 spokes and manual box. Though I think I'll try a manual but as it's been for sale before I thought I'd ask, anyone have any views or feedback on it? https:...

3rd gen, hoses

Thanks wurlycorner , I'll take a look when I'm back near a computer and I'll put the part numbers in. If I did it correctly the last time the part numbers were different but I'll check again. The car is in Doncaster and advertised on Facebook, looks like I dithered too long as he has someone coming ...

Actually, I've just realised those coolant pipes are for a manual and this is an auto.
Any suggestions chaps? Thanks
