Yes...
It had one engine support to get in to the trash. And fog lights are losed in combat. And it needs some paint cans...
Now it's at the garage, for oils and filters change, and 4 new tyres.

Yes, it's still brave!

I have a question. There is not a lot of info here on Spain about this car. I had a Civic Type R and it was very easy to run more power. Any mod like headers or CAI to gets more power in this one?
