When you work day in day out on poorly designed old crap, you appreciate owning a car that's been designed/built a little better!
Well, you do if it excites you anyway. Like I said, I actually prefer Soph's 182 to this, just don't want to own one.
I like the forum. I like driving them. I just don't fancy owning one.
That's all good and well Dan, but it doesn't change the fact they're just not all that well built. I've had a Renault. It didn't break down. But f**k me it was poorly designed and built.
They're just as f**king bad, with their 2000rpm powerband. Spend more time changing gear in DERVs than Hondas, and that's saying something.
I'd rather not have a Ph1, I bought Jap for a reason, stuff works on them. Very useful when you've shine all to live on thanks to houses.
Any car that needs 2nd gear to overtake a 40mph moron swiftly is a joke in my book. It's nippy when you rev the tits off it, but it just feels slow to me. I'm finding it mightily frustrating.
It's done 80k.
I've budgeted for council tax lol.
However, it's just too f**king slow for me. I actually find Soph's 182 is more suited to how I drive (not that I want to own one), as it has a bit more going on below 5800rpm unlike the Accord.
I've volunteered for more life ruining turbine outage next year...
Finished off the S2000 aerial conversion today (still haven't sealed it, seeing as it hasn't leaked despite taking it through the jet wash at work). Used a 99p screw type aerial adaptor from Halfords as per the existing guides, then found there's no screw fitting. So I've taped it in place...
Black Hole worked wonders on my old Black RX7. Lathered it on before I sold it, made the paint seem much better than it was without it.
I've also used it on Soph's RB, and it noticeably darkened the colour up. Looked better for it IMO, especially when we parked next to another RB in a car park.
