hi there my name is amz i am currently looking to buy a st205 and found you guys through a search on yahoo, theres alot of good information on here to help me when buying one. i am pretty handy with tools and do alot of work on my cars myself, i was also a member of the civiclife.net forum i have owned 4 civics 3 of them being track cars most of the work was done myself, anyway i have pretty much made up my mind about buying a st205 not too keen on the looks of it but im sure the performance will change my mind once i'v done a few bits and bobs to it.
anyway thanks for reading.

Welcome to the club mate.  You are correct about the 205's looks, more like a hyundai really.  Go for a nice st185

Welcome Amz...byt the faff is the best looking 4, whatever others say!!!
It is also probably the most expensive to maintain so check out the SS suspension ('8's and arms) the clutch, rear diff mount and the turbo.
ATB and keep us advised what and where you are looking (someone may live nearby)

Welcome to the club amz! I'm sure you'll find a suitable 205 soon and there are plenty of people on here who can help if you want/need it

Cheers

205 is far too fat to be a performance car, better off to find a nice 165 shell and build the bits of the later cars into it, THB its all they are really good for.

Unfortunately Amz there is no such thing as a nice 165 shell, and there are plenty of things that are too fat to be any good at any performance.  Stick to your guns and dont listen to the narrow minded irishmen.

185 = 165 + 2 bags cement
205 = 165 + 4 bags of cement

185 = 165 + 2 bags cement
205 = 165 + 4 bags of cement

Ooooh, I love these logic questions. Is the answer: 1 bag of cement = 10 ?

Welcome to the club mate. As you can see, everyone is nuts here.

bazza sitting in his 165 = 165 + a cement truck

Still goes faster than yours.

You need to wake up and smell the sh*t you're shovelling.

Now now dear, if you'd bought a proper 4 it might just still be on the road.

Ah, you havent done your research, its been on the road for months, and in fine health.

And we have hijacked a newbies thread.

Welcome to the club mate you've certainly picked the best of the four's, the Faff is the best looking, fastest etc. Plus you dont have to own a pair of flares or big shoulder pads like you do for the 165 & 185
