Another volvo mate! Lol
As much as I like it I really miss my v70r so the plan is to replace the mrs car with a volvo 855 or ph1 v70 at some point & she can have the ctr. I will make sure the next volvo hasn't been to the moon & back. ;)
The only fault mine has had was a map sensor which was an easy fix & a noisey wheel bearing which again wasn't much hassle.

Nice ricer :)

Looks a tidy motor mate. Never driven one but I'd imagine quite the go-kart!
Perfect replacement for an Ibiza :)

I have a soft spot for Civics, especially the EE9.
I have got a hard spot for the Pulsar though. If I could handle the breakdown's I'd have one in a heartbeat. Brutal little cars :)

Great little cars I think , looked at a good few as a track car , get a decent one they go on for ever

My plan is to keep the civic & turn it into a track toy in a good few years. It is ideal for the mrs & once little un is a few years old I'll make it my toy. :) it go's well, not sure I've got balls to take it as fast as I did the volvo as it just doesn't have the weight. It's great on the local B roads & apparently I had it cocking a wheel around a local roundabout which would be a turn up in a volvo.
The brakes are poor after being spoilt with the brakes on the bullion. ;)
Yes martin we've been trying for 3 years so as you can guess we're very happy! :)

Congrats mate, let me know if you need me to "pop round" again lol ;)

By the way the pulsar is 330bhp & not shy. It has a paddle clutch & the chocolate gearbox has recently been rebuilt. I can confirm it's very hairy at 135 chasing an f430 down the a5. ;)

It has a lightened flywheel & had it's head skimmed, it revs quicker & stays in vtec once it gets there. I wouldn't say it's any worse than the lag on the volvo.
Don't hate me for saying it but it would nail my volvo on 90% of everyday driving.
Oh & yeah Marty the comfort levels are very low, the switches feel like they will break at any moment & it has no sunroof which I really miss!
Thanks jamesy, can't wait to meet baby biff. :)
