Slick Rick's new car :D (Post 59)

[Joey D]

Nice car, I really like the colour you got. Congrats 👍

 

[kikie]

Nice,*clean* car.

 

[High-Test]

I like it!

👍

Now you need to build a model, and post pics in the model kit thread.

I usually don't care for that hue of yellow, but It looks great on the lines of your car.

Thought that was an Si on first glance. Nice car though. And that is a pretty funky shifter you've go there.

 

[socomplayer2]

Sweet car man. I must say that is the strangest shifter that I have ever seen. Might I suggest some new rims maybe a pair like these...

 

[Slick Rick]

Gold body with bronze rims might be a bit ott
I was thinking more like this

Noooo! Don't ruin your car with those rims! Lol, but seriously ....don't.
What about the rims I showed you in black?

Eh? It's a Honda guy thing. Beautifully ugly wheels are the way to go, but you can only get these "ugly" wheels from real brands. Those Gram Lights would be great on the car.

Gimp shifter: Check.

Odd color: Check.

Now it needs some fake Type R badges and the like to make it have 400+hp.

Nice score, though. Just the car isn't my cup of tea.

 

[Boz Mon]

Yea whats up with that gearshift? And what engine is in it? I like the color, but I like odd things. Nice snag though 👍

I assume you mean the bronze wheels that were posted.

They are 5zigen fn01rc.

it looks like a d17, but im pretty sure he said it had a smaller capacity.

 

[Thirdeye]

Looks great! We never got the EP non-si hatchbacks here in the states, just the Civic Si hatchback. I've always been partial to the civic hatches, nice and clean to boot.

 

[forza2.0]

Whats the perfomance figures on these? What rpm does the rev limiter cut in at?

I would recommend a 1.4 or 1.6 Corsa C....SXi post 2003 facelift but I suppose they are extremely common. There will be good deals now that the new ones out.

They are quite large, look sporty and have alot of character (especially the high back smoked lights). Very Very fuel efficient and have great reliable 16 valve Ecotech engines.

The only problem I find is the suspension as it its rock hard... great for driving, not so good for speed bumps!

No way corsa C's are obe of the crappiest handling hatchbacks on the road, theya re unreliable, have a terrible interior, sound crap look crap, are common as much and because for some strange reason they are popular hence costing alot more than they are actually worth. Oh and the safety is dismal.

1.4

Draw your own conclusion.

 

[G.T]

1.4

Draw your own conclusion.

Yeees, a little slow. I just happened to have a ride in a friend's 2-gen old 1.4 Civic the other day. I can only imagine the previous gen one being heavier = slower.

Type R.

How quickly we forget.

 

[Jondot]

Rick, I beg of you for the sake of taste and decency, don't stick those rims on it. It'd look far too chavtastic. I'm boring, so obviously my first choice would be to find the rims you'd get on the top of the range Civics and stick those on it. Nobody would know they weren't stock, and it wouldn't look out of place.

[On a Citroen Berlingo van, in comparison to a Corsa based Combo] The drive is crap, the interior is crap, the design of the bloody thing is crap, its flimsy, trim among other things fall off, its noisy and unrefined and rather ugly. Reliabilty isnt one of its traits either.

My transit connect is better in every possible way and im sure my brand new combo even it being a vauxhall will also be better in every department.

Bet that Citroen is starting to look rather appealing right about now, yes?

 

[forza2.0]

Yeah the corsa combo is a crap van compared to transits but its still better than that french crap. Gonna have a word with my transport manager to see if I can swap my van for a caddy or transit connect.
