Default Hello from the UK

Hi all,

After your help guys, I drive an MB4 Civic, which I don't suppose mny of you will be familiar with as it's a UK built civic. It's a 1998 5 Door Hatch with a nice averge D16B2 engine.



Anyway, I'm after modding it so please help if ya can!

Cheers,

Alan

wow..the UK civics look soooo different from the US, but what do you want to no? check out the search feature for some good info..most people start out with intake,header and exhust for performance, then go from there..for style you can get some suspenstion work done, shock/springs..looks like you got some rims already, ..mabey get a lip kit

Cheers Guys,

It's the suspension I'm after uprating at the moment, but can't fid a UK supplier of uprated shock absorbers. Can anyone advise on who manufactures uprated civic items? (same suspension as the rest of the EK etc family). I was hoping for some KYB AGX shocks but they don't seem to do AGXs for the civic.

Styling wise it's already had DBM 17" alloys, Dash trims from an MG ZS (MG Rover also built cars to this design with modifications, the MG ZS is a bit of a monster with a 2.5 V6 engine option and uprated suspension with 17" alloys standard fit), Clear repeaters have been fitted and as standard it already has a full black leather interior. There's a 1.8 VTi version that has a nice lip spoiler on the front, I'm after one of those but it's a bit like hen's teeth!

Alan

Honda used to own Rover thats why they are similar,mg zs engine and chassis are off an old accord, mg zr has chassis from an 88 ef civic.
There are loads and loads of companys that make suspension for civic's, your just not looking properly. http://www.potn.com
