Ghosty Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 It has an engine. It's pretty clean: A previous owner seemed to be handy with electrics. This is a neat little install, and it also works as a voltmeter, the centre has a readout when the car's running. Further to the LEDs and the speakers, I also found a 12v socket has been added to the boot! Handy. LightBulbFun and Coprolalia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a side-of-the-road trolly-jack and a cordless grinder job? I'm desperately waiting to see a youtube video of one of these cunts trying to do this and having the jack fail so the car traps them long enough for the police to get there. Bastards.

TrabbieRonnie Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Bad luck man, that's the sort of shit that makes me glad I live here! Nice car though, I had one a while back in a very dark purply-black with mg alloys, really liked it. T'was fairly rotten under those bastard plastic sill covers (pet hate of mine...Outback's got them too), and that's what did for it in the end. Don't think I've had a car that was such a good all-round package since... good on fuel, good to drive, enough room for family trips, smart-looking wee thing... well bought!

beko1987 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Fuck, what a shit! I thought our older toss was left alone over modern shit. Happy to bung £20 your way into the pot for a new exhaust/bottle of rum to forget*all about it , I know how you probably really don't fucking need this atm!

Timewaster Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 In my mates garage when he answers the phone... Yeah, what really loud? ........ Is it a Honda? ........ Your Cat has been nicked! Apparently the third one in a week round our way. All Honda. They are worth the most weighed in. One was outside the school in broad daylight. Sorry to hear Ghosty.

BorniteIdentity Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I'm obviously naive and ignorant, but I thought this sort of lark was - by and large - over. And, as above, thought it was almost exclusively newer cars that get the treatment. 11 hours ago, Rod/b said: Straight bit of pipe welded in there, though, and job’s a good’un. @Rod/b and me - never seen in the same room at the same time.

I think the scrap value prices have died off but scum are still out there and "stocking up" on them. Prius seems to be the biggest target. After that , its Honda's.

SiC Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Cat prices are on the up again. I know on the Clio Facebook group there are people paying between £350 and £500 for them, depending on the age. Older cats are worth more as newer cars have more efficient cats and optimised better for smaller cats. Aftermarket cats worth bugger all as tiny elements in them. I'm very conscious that my Clio cat is worth around half the value of the car!? Thus a little bit worried that the cat may disappear like ghostys has.

New POD Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I have just purchased 2 pairs of dual Cats for my Omega, second hand, with 4 sensors still fitted. What would the scrap value of the old ones be? And where would I sell them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 What an absolute fucking miserable slags trick. That looks like a cool motor as well, I really like the look of these Civic estates. I'll bung a few quid in the pot to replace it as well if you give me some deets @Ghosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw118 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yo Sir Maximillian McGhost, I've got no squids to throw in, but would it be worth enquiring on a local banger racer page or Ovalchat or summert? When I was on Faecesbook there was always someone on the banger pages buying and selling cats, and as a Civic is a fairly popular steed, there may be someone who's got one kicking about. Fucking pain in the arse though M9. beko1987 and Ghosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Once you've got it replaced, some additional form of security for it might be a good idea. Even just a bolted on bit of steel to cover where the cat sits (like an undertray) is often enough to deter the cat thieves, as they can't get to what they need to easily, meaning they'll be there longer, and hence more vulnerable to being caught.

wuvvum Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I'm slightly worried for my CR-V now. That's high enough up that you don't even need a trolley jack to get at the cat. I live in a very low crime area but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
