Hi all,
Howard is my name and i have just purchased a 1999 Civic Coupe. Car is a retirement project for me, have spent the last 6 years Go Karting with my son and now it's my turn. Last raced cars over 30 years ago and the Civic is the return for me. The car has lots of good bits that has saved me money and time upgrading, maybe someone out there may recognise the car if so the more info i get the better,anyway I will let the pictures tell the story

No no drifting unless in reverse, track days and Improved Production as time goes by.
You got to remember you are as old or young as the women you feel. But i have always like the shape of this car, I raced Super Minis back in the day so FWD is what I like ,you have to be very responsive to minimise understeer and keep on the track.
