Been on the look out for a new run around to replace the corsa with. I decided a while back i wanted a civic type r in a face lift model. After some looking around i found myself a few premier/30th anniversary editions to look at. Put a deposit down on a 55 plate milano red one on friday and i collect it this coming friday. Its got aircon, recaro front seats, tinted rear windows, parking sensors, jdm style red carpets, full electrics pack, momo steering wheel and low miles. I will get some better pic's of it once i have it and have given it a good wash, wax and polish.

Yep the corsa is going on monday hopefully. I will miss the corsa but not the ride!
TBH i rate this as my first proper car, sworn to myself that i am not going to do anything to it. First of all i cannot as its got a honda warrenty untill october next year and secondly i just want a semi normal car!
you will love it plus i may of had some thing to of done with building it as they were all built in swindon were i work at.
pm the vin number if you like and i will ask about to find when it came through the factory.
Nice car but they do go through alot of oil and fuel but stick to the road like poo to a blanket.

Great cars but hardly any inspiration behind purchasing one. Most clueless posers with a bit of cash buy one to get noticed in round here.
Good choice Rick. I love the things! I love revving the nuts out of cars and they rev on baby!!
especially when there 1 of my honda's lol.
nice car, drive real well!

Most clueless posers with a bit of cash buy one to get noticed in round here.pritty much the same round here
the police have not long confiscated one of these off a lad round here, he had a CTR, sprayed white, carbon boot & bonnet blah blah blah and as far as I know he got caught with no insurance racing some others lol
very nice car, when i test drove one it seemed to go quite well and handle very positively.
looks good rick , they are a very fast car really :thumb:
Great cars, my dads got the facelift model, hes spent quite a but on the engine now, enlarged throttle body, mappable ecu, exhaust etc and it has made a massive emprovement.
twag, was saying to Rick earlyer about it! did he go for the proper honda upgrade exhaust and throttle body or was it an aftermarket/makers one?
nice car! my mrs has got a premier on a 55 plate in cosmic grey she used to have a black 52 plate
she kept on about one so found one,
appartenly the only differences are that the premier has factory rear tints, a momo steering wheel, different seats (more comfy imo) and a outside temp gague!
she's already after changing they tyres though as the bridgestones seem to be seriously w@nk and undeersteery in the wet
