First post. Have been reading and lurking for a while.
Bought this beauty a few months ago, 2.0 TDI 170bhp with 90k on the clock. 2 owners from new, FSH, lovely condition.
Had a Civic Type R (EP3) before this so has been quite a difference to drive.
Original picture:
Have been really impressed with it, comfy, ridiculous economical and pretty quick. Have done quite a few bits on it so far. Pictures to follow.
Mods:
Cruise control fitted by Ash
Upgrade headunit to Blaupunkt 420 Toronto BT (has Bose system)
Full LED interior lights
6k H7R HIDS, LED sidelights and number plate bulbs
Rear tinted windows 20%
Plastidip anthracite alloys (set was just too blingy)
Plastidip front grill black
Silver indicator bulbs front & back
Cree LED reverse light
Pressed plates
Bluefin remap ordered (on its way, will take it to 197bhp)
Fitted VIOFO A119 dashcam and mic for headunit
And given it a detailing (clay bar, Autoglym SRP, EGP), vinyl protector, glass polish etc. Repaired and revived interior (red/black leather).
To be honest, I just want it to look nice and be a decent daily driver with a bit of power and fun when needed. After a very harsh, super high revving but very fast and fun Civic, I'm not too interested in making the ride harsher etc.
I've only got a couple of pics on my phone, from during the process, more to follow.
Cheeky bit of interior with old man's 3.0 Z4.
Have done quite a bit since these pics. I'll grab a few more when I get time.
Getting a good 50mpg on average with 55-58 if real careful. I used to give the CTR a hard time so used to get around 20! Should save me about £1500 a year in fuel!
Any one have experience with the Superchips Bluefin remap with the 2.0 TDI 170bhp? I've read most the stuff I can find but majority refers to the 140bhp being mapped. Looking for feedback from users, it should give this:
