Mariana - My EG6

Well as some of you may know, I'm selling the GD1, and parting out all the bits and bobs I have bought for it over the past 2 years.
Loved the Jazz, but it lacked so much in the Power department, only having the L13.

So as it's replacement, I bought a 1994 EG6. Milano Red.
Nicknamed her Mariana.
Picked her up for 1900GBP.
One owner from New.
Full Honda Service History.
111k Miles.
But most importantly, a B16A2 sitting under the bonnet.

Will get some photos up when I take some decent ones.
Picked her up today, but it was an 8 hour round trip, so was dark by the time I got her home.

Lots of plans for her. Hopefully the money I get from the sale of the GD will cover everything.

Its completely stock.
Only things that have been replaced over the years are the exhaust and the rear arches.
One rear arch needs doing again, but getting that sorted in the next couple of weeks.
So pleased with it.
No pinkness at all.
Milano Red = Best Colour :D

Too bad... another perfectly understated Civic that will be marred by the "customization" process. Unless you manage to keep it classy, at which point I will eat my own words.

Marred? Improving on an already brilliant design is hardly marring the car.
And even though parts will be getting swapped out, every OEMpart will be kept.
So I can always return it to stock to sell it.

Haha don't worry dude, I think I'm going to a slightly differently look to the GD with this.
Enough rubber to get the power down.

Got my ArmRest through the other day, so installed that.
Here's a pic of it installed, along with my ITR Bronze knob that came out of the Jazz.

On top of that, I ordered some Amber Corners to get the front end looking abit fresher.
Put on a US sized front plate too, as they look far better than the long pieces of crap.
Also colour coded the side strips, which i think makes the whole car look alot nicer.
Excuse how dirty the car is, everytime I go to wash it, the inevitable happens and it starts to rain.
