"Extremely quick, understated car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had broken fog lights when bought. Honda replacements to expensive so adapted some off the shelf units to fit.

Interior light switch on back door faulty. Fixed with glass paper.

Kick panel on passenger door fell off. Stuck back in place.

Glove box lid wonky, probably been forced shut with too much junk in the past.

General comments?

Extreemly fast from stand still. Specs say 8.3 to 60 but it feels a lot quicker than that.

Red lines at 8,000 RPM with 170 Bhp.

Engine looks and sounds nice. Hi-tec.

Interior is a bit basic by todays standards, but it has loads of gadgets.

No CD Player or RDS on radio.

Very noisy inside at cruising speed. Loads of road noise.

No lumbar adjustment on drivers seat.

Good fun to drive hard.

My front fogs have both gone and as you said, they cost a small fourtune, can you please tell me want make and model you used instead?.

I've looked every where, and to no avail.

Cheers. (good car apart from this little problem)

One of the best cars I have ever owned. Very fast and great sounding with a performance air filter fitted. At the point of vtec, the sound is one you won't forget. A great car.
