n14 sss Sold, Welcome EG

[I heart the SSS]

Hey people,

I'm a n00b to the forum, just picked up my first honda and too be frank i'm F***ING loving it.

Even though it's a 1.5 Twin carb.

I sold my n14 SSS in search of getting something a tad slower, to actually learn how to drive quick and well (I'm a circuit gh33k) without paying the price of my life / my car.

I picked up a EG GL Civic, (a mate of mine downgraded from a slightly modded AE92 SX to a EK, and my god he can ****ing drive now) as generally I heard good things about them, plus I've never owned a honda so I thought why not.

The car I picked up is painted in stock blue mica, and is stock as a rock, even down to the stock airbox and hubbies :)

has done 180,000 ks (fair bit but its's a 93 so it's all in proportion), and too be quite frank, the drivetrain and engine are in amazing nick. Body has a few dings here and there (expected), and the interior is like brand new (no joke, i'll provide photo's tomorrow when it's light). Two owners from new, first was a country driver, second a female. Has log books and everything else from new.

Now too be honest I paid 4,400 for her, Just out of interest is that a lot for that kind of car? I mean i heard they sell for around 5,500 odd, but i'm not sure that's quite true.

I've owned the car just over 5 days now, and really i've learnt to drive so much better. Double Clutching and keeping the car in the torque band whilst taking corners a lot quicker then the SSS. Dealing with understeer and so forth, i feel like i can trust this car a lot more, and it generally handles a shit load better haha.

It's brilliant, and if i've noticed this much difference over just under a week, i can't wait to see how much I progress :)

Also I thought the car would of been reallly slow, and too be frank it isn't to shabby. With a quick change from 1st into 2nd in the optimum rev range, the car does chirp nicely :) Goes good for a twin carby !

Anyway I'd just like to say hello to you all, and I'll post some pictures tomorrow

Justin :)

welcome mate. are you going to be modding it?

[I heart the SSS]

Defenty man, that's why I bought a stocker, to do all the work myself :)

Dunno where to start though, i spent like 15K on my SSS.

I just want to spend it smarter this time.

[supride]

[MM89]

dude congrats on your buy and welcome to OH, good to see more EG
owners these days :) similar to you, i just bought my EG last week and
it's been brilliant since it was up and running. You may have noticed my
post about my timing belt snapping. However a good 90 bucks investment into the car, and she was up and running again. Glad to see you starting to grow on Honda!

[Benson]

Welcome to OH.

Good purchase. All it needs now is an engine transplant with sussy mods and your set.

[Angie]

Good on ya, I had a sss, great car but no where near as easy to mod as a honda. So many more parts out there for hondas its not funny.

[spacepants_fb]

ahaha thank you mate, it did get a lot of attention where ever it went.

And yeah I hope so, first i need to track down a set of TE37's..

[dsp26]

zomg what did you spend 15k on your SSS on??? including car?

man for that much i could've made it into a ~120-130wkw NA track beast a few different ways twice over :p

but welcome to OH, glad your enjoying... i too came from an SR20 power car (though i still liked it better because of bang for buck & mods for the price of the car plus mods).. are you by any chance a member of PGA? whats ur username if you are?

***EDIT***
just looked at your mods.. that would have been pretty quick... you just needed some sussy and lsd to be happy with it... how much you sell it for?

[I heart the SSS]

Yeah she was pretty quick man, I recon around 120 odd kilowatts.

She always locked up one wheel though -_- Needed a LSD and some good coilvers to get the most of her you're right.

And around 15k was spent ALONE on her not including the car (including a Engine swap in that price)

My username was thisbetterwork, didn't post there too much however.

And I sold her for 5 flat. Needed a bit of work on the body, and had electrical problems too..
