Civic VTi-S 5 door

[davels]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and i was just wondering how many others on here have one of the 500 VTi-S UK civics. I've found a post from a least one other member, But can't find a lot else.
I Have just bought a UK R reg (1998) and what makes it a lil bit rarer is the fact it has the brushed metal gear stick and old accord type R style alloys which it came out of the factory with.
First mod i'm up for is an AEM v2 CAI kit, but other than that i would like some advice on some others if poss.

Nice site BTW.

Dave

Thats' the Civic 5-door VTi-S lip kit. It's stock on that car.

These cars are sold in a few different countries in Europe only. It's on a Rover chassis.

Rare piece you've got there.

There seems to be quite a few in Europe.

What's wrong with having two extra doors? I call it convenience.

Love the look of your MB6, looks nice resting low..
I also have the koni adjustable shocks, and after seeing yours, i think mine will be getting dropped too...

I also love the convinience of the 4 doors, even though i dont have any friends that want to ride in my car, it is nice to know they are there.... just ncase.. lol

Its dropped down to 70-80mm..... I dont think yours will drop as low as mines, standard Koni springs come in 30mm-40mm, I slightly modified my Koni springs so its sitting nice and low. I was having problems going over speed bumps, because it kept scraping the front tow point, so what i did was hammered the tow point slighlty and now it doesnt scrape.
