Hey guys,

I am Jay Stevenson's (not sure of his forum name, Isle Of Man, Silver Gen 4? Prelude ... ) little brother, and I've been sent here by him to soak up some brainy knowledge.

I currently have an RX8, its a great car, only got 35k miles on it, a few mods but it is just SO thirsty!! There is a 53' plate Civic Type R for sale locally and I'm temped by it.

Questions are;

Are they as good as they seem mpg wise?
Will I regret not getting a facelift (I will be doing a facelift headlight conversion as I can't live without Projectors!)
is £3.5k for a 80k mile 53' without AC a good price?

Look forward to browsing this forum a bit too!

All the best,
Andy

Probably the wrong place to ask about Civics

but then there are a knowledgeable lot on here.

Welcome anyway

Yeah I thought it might be susceptible to a bit of flaming!! Jay says you're a knowledgeable bunch so thought it was worth a shot!!

I'll keep photo's of the RX8 outta' here in that case

My brother is 'JayJay'.

Went to view the car and as newkid said, i suspect its been thrashed. the front end is covered in stone chips and the general condition is pretty shoddy. Mechanically I'm not sure what condition it is in, but I'm going to walk from this one.

Only one thing for it, buy a Prelude.

Alright Andy, welcome in! Remember your brother saying you'd bought the RX-8, I also remember asking him if you knew about the fuel and oil use

I miss that sexy muffin! (Jay)

Breadvan shaped Civics are great cars. You will love it to death but with it was an EK9.
