New owner of a white Honda Concerto

[grifty]

Hi all, ive been posting here for a few months now (spam thread) ever since i got my Honda :D. Well i was bored today so i gave my car a quick wash and decided to take some photos and make a intro thread.

The car is pretty much stock as a rock apart from a pioneer head deck and 6"s in the front, its bloody hard tring to find parts for this car!!! The interior is pretty immaculate and the only dent in the body i can find is the size of a 5c coin on the drivers side guard near the blinker so its got a pretty damn good body for a 18yo car. I will be doing some mods in the near future but i am unsure what kind of mods yet.

Heres some pics enjoy :D

I know its an auto only because every other car in the family is auto so no one can teach me manual :(

I like your new signiture

[aznalex]

hi grifty
nice condition car you have there, how much did you pick it up for if you dont mind me asking?
and, oh hey thats my fan in the background!

i hope u enjoy your stay here as i am

ps.
i read around on the internet and heard that if people play around with the ODO, the numbers dont sit quite straight =/ (but i have never seen an actual picture)
100,000Ks for an 18 year old car is kinda you know..

[Raztaz]

wooww im impressed with its condition!

[DLO01]

Awsome! Nice find. And welcome to Ozhonda land, even though you've been here for a few months already. :wave:

[STTICH]

[burak213]

Thanks aznalex, i picked it up cheap :cool: $3200 with plenty of rego, btw that fan is bloody good keeps me cool while im working in the garage

I doubt the ODO has been played with on this car considering ive got the log books with recepits, interior is very immaculate no rips tears or scratches and the inside of the engine is pretty clean like no oil sludge build up under the rocker cover. but the p/s rack is leaking abit so i gotta get that fix up soon

retail is usually about 3-4g depending on condition and there aint much of them around

Always had a soft-spot for Concertos since there was a B16-swapped Concerto here in Perth about 10 years ago - was a super sleeper !!

As far as I know this thing is based on the EF Civic floorplan so a lot of things should bolt accross from EF Civic's and CRX and possibly DA integras.. you wont find anything specific for Concerto.

[grifty]

hmm does that mean the oem floor mats from them cars should be able to fit?? if so im gonna start looking for a set :D

[grifty]

these scratches in the windshield piss me off every time i look at them they just make the car look like crap, anyone know how to get em off?? theres 3 of them.....

Cant really see them but if your talking bout the rub marks from the wipers try scrubbing with some metho or etc

[grifty]

I know this is an old thread, but I can tell you straight away how the scratches got in the windscreen, its happened to mine as well, the wiper blade comes out from the wiper arm, and the metal end of the wiper arm scratches the windscreen. Apparently the only way to fix it is have the windscreen replaced. =/
