1990 Honda Civic GL review from UK and Ireland

The clutch has just been replaced, cost £150 roughly to fix.

The right arm on the drivers seat has worn to produce a hole.

Brake pads recently been replaced.

This is a great car, well actually great is an understatement, this car is superb!! I could go on for ages about this car. It's really comfortable, and it has kind of bucket seats which are standard and it really is relaxing, It's a smooth ride, don't feel many bumps, very nice.

The performance is very impressive. I take my car quite often down to this back road I know, and I do my 0-60 and I've had really good times.

The worst time I got 0-60 was 9.2 seconds, but that was because I wheel spun too much, hehe, but then when I didn't wheel spin too much, I got 8.7

0-60.

Recently, I got a Quad exhaust system, which is four 3inch pipes out the back, to fit this you have to remove the middle backbox! can be seen at:

Anyway, as you can imagine, no backbox, which means it's mighty loud, and has produced more Brake Horse Power to over 100bhp from 90bhp, and the 0-60 of average about 8.3seconds, and if your really quick with the take off, you can get about 8 seconds out of it. I have also added an extension to my air filter which gets more air into the engine quicker, this has also boosted my bhp. When it comes to top speed, it says 106mph in the book, but I got 118mph and I reckon I could get 120mph. I've reved my car upto 8000rpm fine! no probs and it burns rubber, trust me.

This Honda civic GL, would give a Golf GTi a good run for its money a suzuki Swift Gti and a peugeot 205 1.6 Gti. I've left XR2's, VTR's, XR3's, SR, SRi, GTE Nova's etc, see what I'm saying, this car is WICKED!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT ONE, BYE IT NOW!.

The Honda civic 1.4 16v Dual carb, twin cam, is very fast, quick of the mark, and will make you feel really happy, when you leave people at the lights!!!
