Took this as P/X for my eg civic. Would have loved to of kept the eg but it was costing a fortune in insure.
So basically i took this P reg Civic with 85,000 miles, 8 months mot and 6 months tax, few little goodies including spoon coilovers, full powerflow exhaust with a mugen exhaust manifold and £800 for my civic. Didn't think it was to bad a deal as this one is more suited to my finacial circumstances and my eg required some work to the body and had a cracked windscreen.
So here it is, nothing special really but it's clean!
Sorry for the poor photos, only have my phone and it's not really up to much.

It does yeah 
It's only a 1.5 lsi though so not exactly gravity bending. Apparently has 130bhp, although it doesn't feel like it. Probably only got like 50 lb/ft!

LSi's do not have vtec. The only 1.5's that have vtec are imports.

Take a look, but no 1.5's have 130 bhp according to Parkers:
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=295
However, some do have VTEC.
Edit: I also love how the 1.5 VTEC is faster to 60 than the 1.5 VTEC Sport, due to the Sport model being heavier

Can anyone confirm this? Does have the sohc vtec decals, and although not half as aggresive as the Sir, there is vtec.
Edit: Just had a look on Wiki, i'm unsure what engine code it is for this car but this may make sense, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_D_engine#D15Z6

A sohc vtec is a 1.6 ESi. You have I would imagine whats called economy vtec. So your car revs up to 7k like a normal car, not like real vtec and it only kicks in for about 2rpm ish.

Saw you had the EG up on pistonheads, i was going to offer my XE as a p/x then i realised the car belonged to you and you already had one.

Unless it's been fitted with the JDM D15b then it wont have VTEC.
Or possibly had a mini me conversion carried out using a VTEC head.
Maybe it has a VTEC-E engine, which is economy vtec and barely noticeable, my EG VEi had this and it was no different to my EG LSi in terms of power.

Nail on the head.
Regardless of power it's still pretty nippy. Is it sad that i enjoy having 5 doors for sticking shopping in the back?

I know this is not the place to ask and would have to make a new topic to get a better response (if any) but do any of you know what i would need to do to do a mini me conversion. Or even feedback from someone has been in one i.e. would it be worth it?

Don't know if it would be worth 1500 but theres definatly a market for civics, especially round my area. As for plans on what to do to it. Bought a full set of wind deflectors (front and back), debadge the boot and grill and see if some form of leather can be sourced for the interior as its abit bland!
