A very nice place to be, whilst enjoying one of the best ‘Hot Hatches’ produced in modern times.


Engine:
The legendary K20 – What an engine!

Anybody familiar with these cars, will know that the engine is the star of the show, a high revving 4 cylinder with VTEC which loves to rev!

Mated to a beautifully operating 6 speed manual gearbox, these are well known for being a superb car to drive, and to cover ground at a very impressive rate should the mood take you.

Highly regarded as one of the best fwd drivers cars and hot hatches of modern times, the EP3 chassis and the K20 engine are a superb combination.
The engine loves to be revved and the VTEC noise is addictive.

The engine bay itself presents well, as per the pictures.


Running Gear:
Having had a recent underside refresh carried out, this car looks fantastic underneath.

All genuine Honda parts have been used, including, new brakes, brake lines, disc backing plates, bearings, drop links, heat shields, handbrake cables & even rear calipers.
The clutch & gearbox operate beautifully & handling is great as you would expect.

A beautiful car to both drive & look at to admire.
