As i say, i've got an airbag, but after 5 years of owning the car, it'llbe removed this year in place of a non airbag type. This fine to do legally here.

Its quite clear that other user and I have a difference of opinion, so im just going to leave it at that.
PS< fire, amelance services are there to pickup that kinda stuff, if they wasn't, they wouldn't have a job!!!!!!

Federalies = 1, WCC = 0. Finally, someone is cracking down on these bamas. If "Pimp" is a civic having dubs/wide body kit/hood scoop but still rocking a stock motor with 168K on the ticker, then I am proud to NOT be a pimp.

I swapped a 45,000 mile engine for a 90,000 mile engine.
Doesn't matter how many miles as long as its well looked after. I look after my now 110,000+ mile 2.0 16v.
I recently had an MOT. The emissions (no cat) were just about the same as what they should be when the engine was brand new!!!! I've seen Volvo's with 210,000+ miles only running 2-3bhp down on standard power....
Age, mileage means nothing.... What about old american hot rods. Bet theres a few high milers out there, doesn't mean they are all shit.
Some of you need to open your eyes a little......
