Hello!, New 6G Member Options

Hi,

Just wanted to say hello, and thanks for running the 6G Forum, I'm pretty sure you'll hear from me quite a bit.

I bought my Gen 6 1.8ST AT200 from ebay for <£200. What a risk. Took a 1 way ticket 180 miles to the seller, drove the car 50 yards, and just knew it was a winner.

However, upon waiting for the registration document from VOSA/DVLA, got a letter to say it needed to go in for a Vehicle Identity Check and therefore it couldn't be put in my name and taxed, so it wasn't driveable.

Took it in today, and although it appeared to have been involved in a Category C (very serious) crash, the repairs had been carried out correctly and so here I am, finally 4 months later, proud as hell.

Thanks guys,

After having it as a Daily Driver this past week, I've noticed a bit of a white smoke issue, usually at Traffic Lights after a bit of a run.

And it judders a bit in 3rd at low revs, so maybe I'm looking a timing issues/distributor and ignition work, and a potential head gasket for the smoke eh?

Ive learnt so much just in the last week being on here, mainly not to try supercharging the 7AFE without really REALLY knowing what the score is, But the first project after the timing and smoke troubleshoot has to be fitting a Honda CAI.

All the best and thanks for the warm welcomes.

How good do these cars handle for FWD 15yo cars?!!!
