Hey all!
I'm in the market for a Civic Coupe thingy to serve as a daily, as just recently I lost my beloved Galant VR4 :(
Leaving traffic lights, I was turning right when my car ended up understeering and sliding, the tail followed round and I was pointed at another car in the middle lane who took off ahead of me, I steered to correct it and I over corrected and bodged that up, the wheels gripped and the car swung around and threw me in to a concrete barrier!
There was a police officer behind me in the traffic who witnessed the whole thing, he was pretty good and noted that I wasn't hooning around, and didn't charge me for negligent driving..
So if anyone wants a wrecked Galant VR4 with full standard Recaro interior, etc there will be one coming up on Pickles Auctions very soon! :o
Anyway, I hope to be joining you all in this community as hopefully soon enough I'll be rolling around in a Civic! I just need something cheap to run for a while, while I save up as much cash as I can! I was getting 350-400k's out of a tank, 98 octane, high insurance, high maintenance, plus modding costs.. It was costing me so much to run!
Here are some pics of before and after the accident!
These were taken a week ago:

The carbon bonnet popped back in to shape, but the carbon was torn :(
I built it up from stock:
Auction grade 4.5, full Recaro interior with Momo steering wheel, Gizzmo MS-IBC Controller, RPW Down Pipe, 3" Exhaust from Liverpool Exhausts with high flow cat, 18" ANZ Miracle wheels, Carbon Fibre Bonnet from TopStage in Victoria and Tinted Windows..
I wanted to get some Gunmetal Work Emotion XD-9 wheels for it to match the bonnet (Bonnet came long after the wheels, didn't have plans for the bonnet until one day I randomly found I could get one for the VR4!)
