Re: H22A Si Vtec LSD Fixer-Upper
Haha, yeah I'm feeling pretty happy about it. This is now exactly the same spec I had 12 years ago, when I was 19. And I know how much fun I had in that one!
It's not on the road for another week yet though - needs a new windscreen & tax. MOT till end of September, so not bad.
Can't wait to take it out for a spin! Drove it back to Southampton from Walsall, bout 2 1/2 hours, and it does feel pokey. Though I get the feeling that the engine has a lot more to give - just needs fixing up a bit. So I'll be looking forward to that. Need to give it a good service and new ht leads, then whack a manifold, straight through exhaust, and a Superchip on there & she'll be kicking out 225bhp hopefully. Nice.

Oh, and the petrol warning light came on quite a bit as well on the way home! But I think I'll just have to learn to live with that.

would explain a lot if it had been in a multi car pileup and they fixed using a ukdm donor
front damage would have been bonnet,bumper,lights and slam panel and rear end boot,bumper
the gap between the rear bumper and quater is not set right so worth having a look at the crashbar to see if that is still slightly bent.
have you checked log book to make sure it was not cat c?

Re: H22A Si Vtec LSD Fixer-Upper
No mate, didn't check that on the logbook. Be interesting to see if it is, cos that sounds like a viable theory - multi-car pile up. I'll check the crash bar when i change the bumper. So I'll need to source a red jap bootlid & headlights too. That will have to wait till end of next month though. Already going to be spending hundreds this month on it!
