I thought I'd share this:
Meet my daily driver, Honda Civic FK 5door hatchback.
Bought it in 2018, so far no complains. Very comfortable and roomy, well equipped inside (GPS, start-stop system, parking sensors front and back with camera, rain sensor, automatic headlights, traction control, cruise control, LCD screen, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI port (!!!), tinted windows at the back, etc, etc...).
Yes, its a diesel... 1.6 i-Dtec with 120 hp and, allegedly, 300 Nm of torque. It does pull nicely for a diesel, though. I could have bought a petrol version, they even had a blue one in the showroom with 180 hp but it was A LOT more expensive than this so...
And now, something COMPLETELY different (also mine):
For those of you wondering, its an Isuzu KBD25 where "D" stands for diesel, so yeah its another diesel, an oldschool 2.0 with no more than 50 hp lol
This used to be my grandfather's truck, bought brand new in 1981.
I always liked it... but he doesn't drive it anymore, he's 92 now... and two years ago the opportunity to buy it suddenly came up, but I kept hearing other people (from outside of the family) showing interest in buying the truck.
I thought to myself: NO WAY, THIS TRUCK IS NOT LEAVING THE FAMILY! So I went in and made an offer, and I'm the proud owner ever since, but currently this is my dad's work horse, he drives it almost daily when its not raining.
Of course, it wasn't looking this good when I bought it, oh no... it really needed some work, mostly bodywork because rust was starting to appear here and there, and a lot of the body panels where bent.
But, you know how this goes... once you start tinkering with it, it never ends...
So, a few months later the rust was gone, the panels where back in shape, it received a fresh coat of that gorgeous green (which is the original color of the car) and me and my dad even added some improvements like disk brakes, power steering, a radio, those 14 inch Mangels chromed wheels (which were a NIGHTMARE to get) and even a home-made center console complete with a clock from an old Ford, RPM counter and a voltmeter!
And I also have plans to remove that wooden stake bed for the original metal bed, I already bought one and its currently being restored.
I'll just let the pictures do the talking...
