Well today I had a phone call to go and rescue a young employee of a friend. Somehow he spun his Focus and knocked three tyres off the rims. I turned up with some Xantia wheels and got the car mobile enough to get on the trailer. Some of the wheel angles were a bit skewed though. It now has slight rear wheel steering.
It turned out be be better than I thought
So anyway, on the way back it transpired that he had an old Honda he wanted rid of so without seeing it I offered to take that instead of payment. My new Honda Civic

Re: My new Honda Civic
When we talked about it, my idea was just to weigh it in. Good cats on these too...
But I've had a good look at it and it's way too good to break up. These old Hondas will last indefinitely, they were so well built. It's a sport. it has a decent half leather interior It weighs 1100kg... Original rear plate Lovely engine. So it should be having only done 106,000 miles. Only a 1.4 though Oh and it's been parked up on a public car park for six months and the cat has been nicked.
So what on earth do I do with it? It would be wrong to crush it. I don't need it particularly either. It should test easily enough but can you imagine the clientele this would attract if I tried to sell it???

Replacement cat shouldn't be too bad because they won't use the same rare metals as the original one. But be careful about getting a very cheap one if you are keeping the car. A cheap one will get through about 2 MOTs.

Re: My new Honda Civic
I weighed in a cat and got very little for it,- how much do the cretins who nick them get? I can imaging the hacking mess they make doing it...

Re: My new Honda Civic
Yeah I know about cats and their values. I know where I can get good money for genuine ones and they will buy aftermarket ones for £3 a piece but I've kept a few. I have one that hasn't seen many miles, I might stitch that in.
Oh and the headlining is really saggy. I'm surprised at this, I thought this only happened on the equivalent Rover models.

Re: My new Honda Civic
They have done very neat job on this. Scrapyards won't give you much for cats, you need to take them to a specialist. I wait til I've got a few hundred quids worth before I make the journey. I don't get many these days though. Some are worthless, others are worth hundreds. Some I've taken range from genuine Clio cat that is worth £15 ranging up to £350 for a Mercedes Sprinter. Manifold cats not worth much, £30 max. I
I can give a better price than a scrapyard if anyone want to sell one.

Re: My new Honda Civic
I've seen new Chinese cats on eBay for £25 new. Can the light fingered tell the difference? If so it would be worth the Kosher manufacturers doing a special edition in a shitty looking can for selling in Corby.

Re: My new Honda Civic
My mate raves about Hondas like this, he has 2 Accords one of which may see the road again when his KIA Magentis goes.

Re: My new Honda Civic
I’m interested in it if it’s still available Clint as I need a runabout to take the miles off Scarlet
