Someone New From England

Hello Guys, just saying hello and how much i like your website, I just bought a 01 Coupe 1.7 vtec in the Titanium colour, bought it on my birthday (27th May). Very nice car, am impressed. As i have said on an another thread these things are real rare over here, seen three or four other coupes since i got mine. Most are the butt-ugly 5 door hatches over here, dont think you got that version in America (may be wrong). This site is a great source of info as with these rare in UK nobody over here knows too much about em.

I was gonna buy the older shape Coupe VTI as that all my budget really stretched to, but at work reading the paper saw this for sale at a local dealer and thought it was incredably cheap at £5000, as everywhere else and at Honda dealers they are £7000 (book price). Anyway had a look that night, liked it, had a drive next day, liked it even more and put a deposit on it, paid £4900 so it was a real steal. Only 29k on clock (2001 model) and even wearing the original Bridgestone tyres, real good condition apart from a couple of scuffs on the front bumper. Managed to source a genuine rear spoiler for it of someone on a uk site. These were only made 2001-03, dont know if that is same over there.

I have the same car but in blue. I love it. You will be happy when you replace the original tires with some that have more traction.

I agree with that, but then again with 29k on em there aint too much tread left, even though it only just passed its MOT. (a road worthy test in uk)

Welcome to the forum -- north Texans are huge fans of British comedy

I agree about the tires. One of the first things I did was replace my crap Firestones (with only 10,000 miles [about 16000 kilometres] on them) with Yokohama Avids -- the ride improved dramatically. I've upgraded wheels since then, and I put yet another set of Yokos (V4s) on her, and she rides very well...

I haven't been round this site for a while simply because I felt there weren't enough european members. So I was kinda surprised to read your post right at the same time I wanted to check how things are over here. Life can be funny
As for the lack of 7th gen coupes in europe, I know what you mean. It's a major event when I see one

Enjoy the site, and your ride
