Yo! (from the UK, but not for long...)

[trism]

Nope only carby sedans and hatches. We did get the crx with the efi zc motor but.

And there's lots of imported EF8s getting around. A few conversions as well.

Gidday mark and welcome. My youngest son lives over there, in Ashford, Kent, so he's not exactly a neighbour (works in London)

2 things your EE9's got, one you can do without, the other you'll wish you had. The one you'll wish for is the A/C, the one you can do without is the sunroof.

I know a few people in Ashford, its only an hour or two away, and im only half hour from London, but who wants to go there lol

I don't want A/C never have, and definately don't need it here in the UK. I prefer the sunroof, and the weight differences are minimal. AC was a dealer option in the UK, none came with it as standard, and all 4G Civic's have sunroofs here.

I think hondapop was referring to when you will be in Australia.
I don't think any of our dealership delivered EDs had a B16.

ow right, well im not bringing my car with me hahaha that would cost me thousands! not unless i decided i wanted to emmigrate...


did you get the DA6 XSi with the B16? I know you have the DA9, i may look for one of those instead, as im not a lover of carbs and i know my way around an F/I engine

[Red_EG4]

I think we were expecting you to buy a car here. We're a pushy bunch like that
I'm not very knowledgeable, but I don't think we did.
No B16 until the EK4 VTiR.

[Marc_EE9]

yeh I think your right

whats the average cost of say an ED3 or DA9 with road tax/mot (i forget what you guys call it)?

[Red_EG4]

take a browse on carsales.com.au
I believe our road tax/mot would be known as "On Road costs" (vehicle duty/transfer fee) and registration costs.
carsales.com.au gives you an idea of the fees on some of the vehicle ads

[Marc_EE9]

nice one, i'll take a look after work.

[strizee]

welcome brother!! hope you have lots to share and lots to learn here!

[Marc_EE9]

Me too mate!

I love my EF and know it inside out, as well as most other 88-91's. I've had a few, and parted a couple out. I also have a soft spot for Peugeot's, as that's where I started.
I had a daily Shuttle 4WD last year that got into Banzai magazine which was pretty cool.
