Looking at getting an isf as my next car

[Catlnike]

Morning all, how’s things? Been looking at what car to get next as I’ve had my champ white civic for 5yrs in August and fancy a v8 plus I’ve took the civic as far as I want to go with it mod wise now so time for a change.

ive considered a couple of replacements but the other 2 I’ve a couple of cons with purchasing them.

1. Civic fk2 type r - worried about loosing too much money on it.

2. E9x M3 - the rod bearing wear rate is very off putting.

3. Isf - which the only thing I’d like it to have is an lsd although I don’t mind getting a 2009 one and buying a diff.

Here’s my current car although not to everyone’s taste.

mods on it are all genuine and no replica rubbish.

mugen aero wing 

mugen rear splitter

gp front splitter

mugen airbox

mugen fog scoops

rrc inlet manifold

spoon throttlebody 

alloy intake hard pipe

toda header

tdi north 3” single exit 

ecutek engine management 

spoon monoblock calipers

stoptech discs

ferrodo ds2500 pads

made 240 bhp @ 8600

I like the civic.

The isf owners here will be able to point you at the good ones.

Great looking car, I really like them.

Post in the "F" section on here and you will receive loads of help, 3 of us have recently traded our Isf cars in for other F models, including me, so there are cars up for sale at dealers we can give you some inside information on.

Welcome to the forum Carl and well done Mugen'g the FN2, nice power from it too now eh.

Good luck hunting down an IS-F, which'll be worthy successor to your Honda.

Cheers guys, just noticed your on civinfo too farqui

[Catlnike]

The only downside I have is, I’m propably going to have to put the civic back to standard, as it’s worth more in bits, so it’s going to be a little while before I can get one

[Farqui]

Yeah, I sold my Civic over a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed my GS since 

I got lucky and had a few buyers willing to take on my car for a very reasonable price.

Selling the parts should give you a greater return and I'm sure the bits will be snapped up.  It's just a balance between time/effort and return.  

Do you have the OEM parts to hand to refit?  

Good luck.

yeah, thankfully I’ve got every single bit

Great, that'll save you having to hunt around for replacement parts 

[Catlnike]

Yeah, plus it gives me the option of leaving the kit on as it should make it more sellable.

Ideally I’d want a 2010 isf with sub/circa 50k on the clock but not sure how much one will cost as I’ve 20k to spend.
