Jams Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 First off I’m sorry if this should be on the modern section? Cav craft has scraped newer than this! Il admit I’m abit if a Honda nut! They have got under my skin from an early age I’ve had a multitude of cars Imprezas evolutions even a 350z this is when I lived at home and had money!! All started in 2004 when I could afford the insurance on my first civic type r Loved this car the noise the way it drove! Above all the simplicity no traction control turbos etc just a drivers car! They get stick for the electric power steering but I don’t mind that! I’ve had loads of cars but il just keep this to hondas this should all be in order of ownership Dirk Diggler and LessThanEqual 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessThanEqual Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'd love to drive any of those nevermind owning one! How was the FN2? They were slated for being much heavier than the EP3 while not having much more power or torque on tap. I've still got a horn for a 2.2 diesel type s Civic as my Mazda is costing quite a bit in fuel doing 500 miles a week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jams Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Last one was my mrs car! I bought it for her but she drove it! I have a host of pictures of other cars I’ve owned but this is leading on to what I’ve just bought! After selling the smart car I bought a golf gttdi Didn’t really get on with it and sold it it was very pineappled! Browsing face book and spotted a post that a bloke was thinking of selling his! Few messages past back and forth and on Boxing Day I was at his house!!Now decent civics with history are getting thin on the ground loads of cat d and dubious history cars about these need looking after It’s done 115k stacks of history and it’s had the chain done. Doesn’t crunch into gears and it’s extremely fast! One of the best k20s I’ve had bar the blue dc5! So a deal was done 1200 quid bought me this wet dog smelling dented to hell ep3 So far I’ve changed the drivers door Fitted new rear lights and front seats I’m desperately trying to get the smell of dog out of it! But I love it!! Dirk Diggler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice to drive not really fast more of a looker than anything! I wish I had money to re live my youth! Some of these dc5s are silly money now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 You probably know this already but strip the interior out - seats etc and wet vac it all several times inc the carpet too. I imagine it’ll need a couple of weeks in between then going over again several times leaving a couple of weeks in between and I’m sure eventually it’ll go....

Jams Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Yeah I need a wet vac! I’ve been scrubbing it and leaving it as it never gets used tbh as I’ve a van but it’s not going! I got an odour bomb off eBay!! Yuk!!never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Wipe all the plastics down with a concoction of white wine vinegar and bicarbonate soda to eradicate the smell (something kim or aggy would reccommend ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Ooh lots of CTRs, nice. I'm more into 80s and 90s ones myself but those Civics are lovely bits of design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 You are very much like the Ferrero Rocher Ambassador - a man with exquisite good taste. For the dog smell a good clean will be essential but also get hold of a couple of cans of Comma aircon cleaner. The dog smell will be embedded in the ventilation system so even when the interior is properly scrubbed, the smell returns when you put the fan on. Only use the Comma one though, others smell quite sickly whereas the Comma one smells like lemon meths. Leave it overnight and it will probably have a good soak into your upholstery and carpets and help no end. Just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
