"Can't get a faster and more reliable 1.6. Bye Golfs GTIs even though they are 2.0 or at least 1.8!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing if I drove it normally. After a race with an R32, the engine sometimes squeaked. This was because there was play in the alternator belt. A mechanic nipped the nut up for free, so a minor problem that just needed a nut tighting. Very reliable overall.

Needs to get the front and rear suspension drop links done on the car. This wasn't causing me any problems, it was just to get it through the MOT.Ddidn't really need doing, but the MOT is tough these days.

General comments?

VERY FAST FOR WHAT IT IS! No other 1.6 has gotten infront of me ever, even turbo cars have trouble and these are very reliable compared to turbos as they have high compression. Bear in mind this is a 1.6 front wheel drive Civic. Japanese ALL THE WAY.

I really agree as well... I had a run in with a BMW 330ci. All I will say he could not leave me, but I could not pass him as well.

So 1.6 vs 3.0 hell yeah bring it on.

That 330 must of been a 316 with a 330 badge or he just wasnt trying because you would have no chance against a 330. come on please stop deluding your self you drive round in an ugly old banger with no street cred or respect. Anyone driving round in a merc or bmw laugh in the face of old cars like yours.

I've raced a 325ci, and he could just about keep up, so I believe the guy who said he kept up with the 330ci. The vti is an awesome car, no other 1.6 could touch it.
