Prices for cars are going silly at the moment mate as you probably know. Some traders are selling 54 plate CTR's for £7k or less although there are private ones for sale as high as £8k5. If you think you can get £7k6 for it then go for it.....you may be lucky although be prepared to drop if...

Ditto ^ and cars looking good:cool:

Well they will certainly keep the grit from your wash mitt but you can get nice black ones from Meguiars for £17ish.

I use Collinite 915 on mine Rich........2 coats 24 hours apart leaves a deep wet shiny look.

Nice one:smt023

Nice one Carl.......you will love that Jetseal 109.........it's really great stuff.

No problem.........sell me the PC cheap:) ;)

Nice one Gunn...that looks immaculate. Been toying with getting a PC and after seeing what a "newbie" can achieve its deffo going on the Xmas pressie list. How long did yours take to arrive and did you get stung by customs ?

This brush is the dogs danglies http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/detail-brush-p-324.html Used by loads of peeps on detailing world forum. Reaches right to the back of the wheels.The bristles bend right back so it can fit into small areas as well. I got one last week and it really is good.

Nice one Gunn.:cool: Look forward to seeing your results. Thinking of getting a PC myself around Xmas.......not that my car needs it but i'm quite happy doing other peoples cars for them. Jetseal = www.cleanandshiny.co.uk but you probably knew that. I noticed the price of this has gone...

You can get a Karcher foam lance from Halfords for £15 which attaches via a hoselock adaptor to your garden hose or you can pay £50ish for the pukka one.The foam from the cheap one was just as good as any i have seen providing you get your mixture right. And as Spacemonkey said above you will...

If you join this forum i promise you will never have any money left:eek: www.detailingworld.co.uk I get most of my stuff from the the companies on there.

And a few more pics

Well as i have had it for 2 months now and haven't put it in here yet i thought i would give it a bit of detailing and post it up. Started yesterday morning about 8am and finished this morning about 10am.....obviously with a break in between for some sleep.:D Alloys cleaned...

I like that actually:cool:

Find someone who smokes then;)

A little tip when claying your car. If you run your fingers over the paintwork and it feels smooth so you think it doesn't actually need doing try getting the cellophane wrapping from a packet of ciggies,putting this over your fingers then run your fingers over the paintwork again. You will be...

Looks the Mutts nuts:cool: Off to Wales this weekend but going to do mine the weekend after if the weather stays good. Is the sealant similar to Jetseal 109?

Milano/Carbon 53 plate 32000 miles when sold:cool: Cosmic 06 plate 6700 miles:cool:

Sad news Mossy.....sorry to hear it.:( :( You watch these things unfold on the telly and forget they may actually affect people you know.:eek: Hope you get a decent payout from the insurers though. Any thoughts on your next car?

Difficult to see anything in those pics. Can you post any close ups?

Well the car according to some is not a true Type R anymore. I drove it and was pleased with the way it drove and handled and was more than happy with the goodies available with it. I have owned the old model and loved that as well. I have just purchased another EP3 though only because i am...

Good or bad points about the car or it being black

Don't pick it up till next Friday Karen. Can't wait...it's been to long without one.

The bugger stood there drinking tea and barking orders while i fitted his carbon bonnet on the EP3:lol: :lol: ;) ;)

I managed to get £300 off a new one just to see what was on offer but it was hard work. Delays are up to about 4 months now depending on what spec you want. Some brokers are offering reasonable money off........depends if you trust them though. I would have thought you would be better off...

Thanks guys. Was a difficult choice tbh but all the recent horror stories about paintwork etc on the FN2 put me off a bit.I will keep this car for 2 years then probably go for an FN2 when all the niggles have been sorted out. The EP3 looked mint,owned by a Japanese manager from Honda,Swindon...

Speak to the wife:( :(

Cosmic Grey Premier 06 plate purchased:cool: :cool:

CtrKev makes these over on CTRO......not sure if he is on here Rich http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10973 Don't Fancyplates make them as well.

Looking good.....how long did that take to do.

There's a passenger seat isn't there:D :D Lovely car Karen......well done.:cool: :cool:

Nice one Sugarpuff.:cool: :cool: Get those mods on matey:twisted:

Thanks G but i promised the wife if i buy another EP3 i wouldn't go overboard on mods ie no rims and no carbon:eek: :D

2 years Stu

Thanks Chris..........i really appreciate you throwing that into the pot.......barsteward :D :D ;) How nice is that car:cool:

Me.......mod.......don't know what you are talking about:D :D I think this time i would stick to maybe a Gruppe M and maybe a zorst change............honest:D :D

Thanks for your insight Paul.....appreciated:cool:

yes and so you bloody should:D :D

Strangely although i love the look of them it never really appealed to me to own one Carl.

Thanks for your reply CTR.:cool: At least you remembered this forum is meant to be predominantly about Type R's:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well having taken the FN2 out recently i am smitten but in the back of my mind i have a nagging doubt and i don't know why. I am in the position to buy a new motor in the next few weeks and i can't decide between the FN2 and the EP3. I loved my EP3 when i had it and to be honest i never...

Well done Nat.:cool: :cool: Nice looking motor that (and the one next to it);)

Well finally got round to driving an FN2 today.:D :D Managed a mix of dual carriageway and country lanes and although i didn't reach silly speeds (salesman in the back:eek: ) i managed to give it a bit of stick and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice and planted on the country roads........never...

Hi Jono and welcome to TRO Nice car matey........looked at a ST2 myself over the weekend.....was all set to order an FN2 but can't make up my mind now between that and the ST. Whats the MPG like with the Wolf conversion?Dire i expect:D Did you buy the car standard and then get it upgraded...

Nice choice of new car and colour.:cool: Pics please.

Looking very sleek and sexy...........the car not you;) :lol: :lol:

Love it Alex although your JDM mats could do with a clean;) ;)

Nice one Paul.............looks lovely.:cool: :cool:

One step ahead of me:cool: :D

Why don't you get Mook to make some up for you.......assuming he is still around.I am sure he is very capable of copying the originals and probably only cost you about £20ish.

Isn't that Lime Green.......not thinking of respraying the motor are you Nick :shock:

Seem to remember that the spoiler came with pads when i had mine although iirc System R used some of there own strong double sided tape to fit it. There was still some movement in it but not enough for it to bounce off the window.

I wouldn't call 130mph slow :roll:

WOW Very very nice.

Luvverley 8) :lol:

:roll:

Nice one Neil..........enjoy 8)

Not a lot just yet but got some nice type r wallpaper out of it. 8)

Your as mad as Kingbuttmunch or just colour blind :lol: :lol:

You are kidding.....aren't you. BLACK

Well Scouse told me you had a beer gut so you could try walking for a few days to get rid of it until the new mota arrives.:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Sad to see it go Chris but i'm sure the ITR will put a big smile back on your face.

200-250 sounds good to me as it has a bit of damage. 300+ for pristine condition.

You needed to ask...........you know it looks GOOD 8) 8)

Ash Unit 8 stock them mate.

Did you say "beast" :lol: :wink:

Moved :wink:

Well we know one who has then :lol: :wink:

Nice to see you about over here Steve. :D Nice installs as usual 8) 8)

I know just how you feel mate...........very sad. :cry:

Oh it was you was it......heard it in Crawley :lol: Hopefully it was a false alarm Karen but if not i am sure the police will help you out.

Looks good Adelphi mate...........nice work 8) 8)

Good price 8)

Nice one..........enjoy........it's a cracking bit of kit 8)

Hi Harvey Had this kit before the Gruppe M. Nice and easy to fit.Not sure on gains as i never had the car dyno'd but it felt better and sounded much better than stock airbox. I preferred the air feed pipe pointing straight down rather than tucked into the arch like some people had it.

Rhonda the Honda :lol: :lol: Nice looking Milano Bunge 8) 8)

No i suppose not :oops: But he might be soon :lol:

Although this chap *cgsales* is cheaper. He sells the button,wiring and relay direct from the states for around £40 iirc although he doesn't appear to have anything for sale at the moment on Ebay.

Oh man the weekend is so going to drag :lol: :lol: Enjoy it when you pick it up mate 8) 8)

Yep my thoughts as well :?

When i looked at the new civic i couldn't see how you could possibly fit a different stereo in it :shock: But then my eyes are old and knackered :lol:

Looks blingy 8) 8)

15 minutes .........hhmmm not bad. And 30 minutes to work out how ty-wraps work :lol: :lol:

Very nice Livvy and Paul. Job well done 8) 8)

She is talking about me Stu not the bonnet. :lol: :wink:

Originally from Vis racing via System R 8)

No probs..........nice to see the mods fitted on others cars 8)

Looking good Stu 8) 8) 8) :wink:

You must get really lost on CTRO then :lol: :wink:

Until they send you a modifications form to fill in and ask for the makes.

Sorry don't understand what you mean Yoz2a :?

PIAA carbon wipers are the way forward imo. :wink: No half decent CTR should be without them. 8) 8)

The rubber gear gaitor plus the top chrome ring and the locking clip is £38 from Honda for a CTR. I have the chrome ring that fits on the silver dash lower panel that locks the rubber gaitor at the bottom spare.
