hi just about to get my wheels for my ep3 type r spayed black-- i was wandering if anyones knows where i could get some centre wheel caps in black with red honda decals?? are they available, or do i need to get them sprayed also and purchase the decals seperately. thanks kris

allright mate- just about to get my wheels respayed in gloss black-- was wondering what u did with your centre wheel caps?-- did u buy new ones or buy new decals and then get them spayed and lacqured? thanks kris

my engine mount has just gone too, same -- drivers side, there about 150 all inc from honda not cheap mate, u could try a breakers. Not sure if they are the same as a standard civic.

just got my ctr back, really chuffed with it, the mechanic says ive been lucky and got a strong engine, new clutch feels loads smother and the exhaust sounds mint.-- just waiting now to get the wheels respayed black with red calapers, machine polish the whole car and purchase a carbon bonnet-...

just thought id let u all know, i managed to get a type r engine off ebay for £1450 with 26000 on the clock. its being fitted at the mo about a day away from completion, ive also bought a new racing clutch, as the old one was about a month away from dieing, discoloured blue and no grooves left...

yeah think i am gonna get a new engine off e bay, the mechanic has found more terminal problems now, and thinks that even if i have it rebuilt, i may allways have problems with it.

thanks mate

thanks mate but i didnt come on here to listen to ****takers, ive got my mates down the pub that will happily do that for me lol---- anyway if u read my initial thread, u would have realised that i thought id cured the problem, the light came on, had it diagnosed, changed all spark plugs and...

i cant beleive it either i am guttered, and soon to be very skint! yeah try taking the rocker cover off and check for play, however hard to diagnose, the vvti timing on these vtec is very complicated, basically when mine went wrong it stopped the rev limitter kicking in in third gear, and...

mate ive had the same problem, read my post on faults-- my engine light came on, diagnosed- cylinder one faulty(lumpy at tickover) changed spark plugs and cylinder 1 coil, reset light-- then the light went off for a few days then came back on, and on the way to get it checked out again , i was...

thanks mate-- well obviously it seems there must be a design error somewhere if they have thickened the chain,-- still unsure which route to take, ie-- new engine or rebuild-- which ever is most cost effective, however i think i will find it hard to justify spending a few grand fixing it to...

thankyou-- will let you know how i get on

so any advice on a rebuild or replace engine, what is more costly-- baring in mind, if i replace the engine,i would assume my car will be worth less, even if i get a newer engine with less mileage, plus i am concerned about the history of a random engine off of e bay? as my engine...

yes tried that first to see which cylinder was down, tried unplugging each coil while engine was running to see which one when unplugged made a difference to the engine note, which was cylinder one. tried swapping them made no difference, so next i assumed spark plugs, replaced them and ordered...

thanks for your response-- when i first got my type r with around 50 000 on the clock, i drove to honda and asked if i neede to change the timming chain, the honda mechanic, said they dont go wrong, we have never had a problem so far, they dont need changing!!!! (nottingham honda) at this i...
