Yes surprise, another breadvan - EP3 Civic Type R

[slag]

I've had this for a while now, she's fairly standard. Anyway here's a few photos.

Don't worry, the red wheel nuts are in the bin! Following an incident with the air gun!

Looks very clean. Nice wheels, they suit it.

 

[Ruth]

Was gonna ask if you had those red nuts on the other night cos i never noticed them Looks good!

Cheers, it's not bad for 10, although silver does hide a multitude of sins! The wheels are only reps unfortunately!

Thanks Ruth, nah they turned pink after a while and then got shredded to bits (thank FK!)! You know I'm a bit of a magpie like!

Yea, you would think that after years of covering my bikes in tacky red anodised crap that I'd wise up too! What age are we now Ruth?

I give the arches a bit of a wash and fitted the standard wheels for winter. Bring on the cold stuff!

I dunno if 'Jinyu' tyres suck or not yet. But I'll take a chance on them.

Some other boring maintenance related stuff that happened..

The brakes were a mess, so 2 front calipers, Mintex discs & pads (replaced pads with Brembo shortly after this), HKS braided hoses and fresh brake fluid.

Next up was the zorst, a full DC Sports exhaust and Injen CAI were already fitted, proper ear bleeder.

When I first got the car it ran great, for about 3 days!

Then she started cutting out and ran lean, the manifold had a bust (and badly fitted) flexi and blow outs all over the rest of system, so we removed it.

I left the exhaust with a mate for repairs!

In the meantime I picked up a standard exhaust and tidied it up.

Also had her ran on the diagnostics and she needed 2 lambda sensors.

Back to standard, no more bean can or police harassment.

Definitely prefer the pre facelifts pal. Looks in good order, keep it that way

 

[Brennan]

looks good, you should definitely consider upgrading to the facelift lights all round

Cheers dude, yeah I prefer PFL too. Although most would disagree and say they look dated now!

Think I've seen your Accord up the town, it's spotless! I really wanted an ATR but ended up with this instead.

Those hideous lexus lights? I don't think so!

 

[KeithRobinson]

Nice! Standard wheels are much better!

 

[Anto84]

Really nice

 

[jimcupra]

Lovely slag I loved my ep3 they are good fun ..

 

[AndyG]

Beaut! Silver and prefacelift. Are definitely the best combo!

 

[Anto84]

prefacelift ep3 FTW , if I ever get a civic again that's what ill have!

 

[slag]

Nice! Standard wheels are much better!

If you seen them up close you wouldn't be saying that lol, they are badly in need of a refurb but I don't really see the point if they are only on for winter.

Lovely slag I loved my ep3 they are good fun ..

Cheers Jim, I think I seen your old one for sale when I bought mine but it was away n all - milano red seems like a heartbreaker?

Lift-off oversteer FTW!

Thanks very much lad, I take it you're a Lurgan man?

I was also looking at a civic but im glad I went for the ATR in the end. The brother had an EP3 and they are a fantastic driving car, K20 sounds like a complete weapon with the rights mods!

If you're about the town i'll take you for a run in her and show you what you're missing

Rear facelift lights are awful IMO :/

fixed that for you . Just a pity they fade so much . Mine was pretty decent had seen a bit of paint though.
