    To be fair - the other side looked a bit better. :lol: That was a wednesday afternoon arch - I was leaving Thursday. Will be nice to get it sorted over winter.

    It was just dusty.. the A34/43 didn't air-dry it as well as I had anticipated. Teach them not to touch!

    Maybe next time. I need to buy some rear arches first.

    I can see why people only tend to do it matte black... It hides a multitude of sins. Whereas white highlights every last imperfection. Nevermind. It's a JAE only paint job :lol:

    Cheers guys :) It's as finished as I can get it before JAE. The great unveiling on Friday :D

    Yeah, I am rattle canning it in the garage. Only way I can get it done in 3 days lol. Not fussed on the finish as it'll be all coming off over winter. I can only reach one side at a time - the garage is too small haha!!

    Akina's EG5. Haters welcome

    Ok, so JAE preparations are going a little slower than I would like. The car is painted on one side. The front bumper is painted but not fitted - and the splitter has been 'repaired'. Still to do before Thursday morning: 1. fill passenger side arch to fit wheel. 2. paint rear bumper 3...

    Akina's EG5. Haters welcome

    Thanks guys :-) Filled one of the rear arches today - also removed the redundant aerial from the A-pillar (no radio required when you have Vtec). Still got the passenger side to do - as well as a Blue Peter style respray. I'm going White - mainly because it's easier - and White cars are...

    Suits' JDM S2000

    If I'm going with PINK wheels, the least you could do was have blue lol.

    Akina's EG5. Haters welcome

    Soooooo, I was hungry for a project EG and this POS turned up for a £monkey. It's the ESi, better than I hoped for that price because it's got rear discs and coilovers. The 1.6ltr Vtec is pretty nippy too. It's some sort of greeny blue with a black bonnet and the wheels are from a Mini Cooper...

    EG Body kits: Where?

    I'm not so JDM that I must have Mugen etc... But just wondered if anyone recommends a company to trade with who supplies kits? Thanks :)

    Cat-1 alarm/immobiliser and tracker? :lol: At the end of the day, it's your car, you do what you want with it :) Unless you are a figure whore, keep the backbox for now and maybe get a custom one made that is a little more free flowing somewhere down the line.

    TRO logo in vector or .jpg?

    Hi Admin peeps, Does anyone have either the font or logo (type-r-owners.co.uk) I could pinch? Thanks

    I was only giving the guy a cheaper option with the features he asked for lol. Sorry I forgot to add IMO.

    ipod and stereo

    I bought the JVC KD-R701 when I was looking for a new iPod/iPhone compatible stereo. Does everything the Alpine one does, remote control etc. - plus you can change the colours to whatever you want - (literally 1000's of options) and have a different lights on / lights off colour.. which is...

    Thatcham CAT 1 Mobile Alarm Fitter... Recommended.

    He's 90% on his own I think, but does freelance work for companies when they have too much demand for their own staff - don't ask who though - I didn't find out lol. Yep, he wrote out the certificate on the day, but said if the insurance company want it - sent them a photocopy as you'll...

    Thatcham CAT 1 Mobile Alarm Fitter... Recommended.

    Not that I saw! Fully fitted CAT 1 Hornet alarm/immobiliser (including an extra cental locking door motor because the S-MX didn't have one) for a snip over £200. I'm sure you can get them a few ££ cheaper if you search hard enough, but tbh I like my stuff to work too lol. Comes with a 12 month...

    Glad to help! He's a good guy and apart from an LED on the steering collumn and a button hidden under the dash - you wouldn't know it had been fiddled with :)

    Thatcham CAT 1 Mobile Alarm Fitter... Recommended.

    Well as most posts (not on this forum obviously) seem to be slagging off companies and services - I would like to take a second to actually praise and recommend someone for a change. I was looking around for a car alarm as the S-MX wasn't spec'd with one as standard and obviously the CAT1's...

    Boo hoo, so someone modified the Civic to their individual taste... Get over it - it's a car.

    Useful sat nav security advice

    And wipe the 'ring' marks off your windscreen too - people look for those because they know something will almost certainly be in the glovebox.

    Sexy Bride!

    You want to check the size before you order - Bride's are usually designed for little Japanese racers... Which can mean they are a no-go for gaijin asses. I got into one once and thought I'd need the fire brigade to come and cut me out.

    Black EK9 Type R for sale

    The original 'Initial G' lol. I'm not a fan of them in black - seems like a good buy tho.

    FN2 No change in engine for new Civic Type-R

    I suppose it could be worse. But then again, if they have plans for an RR model (which will get a performance tweak) - why spend money developing an engine for the sake of it.

    500bhp!!!

    May I just say b*****ks Any car could have 1000bhp (it may not be for long tho!). Most of the UK tuners are a joke IMO.

    Weren't the 'JDM' EP3's built in Swindon and shipped to Japan? Or did I dream that?
