Alloys now bronze gold and a huge boost in lighting thanks to Aurora for their H7 bulbs, look brilliant with my LED sidelights!

Thanks all! Very helpful

Hi all, my FN2 sometimes does this annoying little trick whenever I have my wipers set to Auto. The Auto wipers work 100% fine and then, for no reason, will just keep going and going and going even if there is no rain? To try and remedy this I switch the wiper stalk to OFF, and the wipers keep...

Appreciate that Andrew, will head over to Aurora soon and buy me some I think - they look brilliant for non HID plug n play bulbs. Cars looking hella clean by the way!

Nice plate mate! Let me know if you're ever up this way! Used to go to college in Lancing

Andrew you got any pictures of those? I was tempted to go with the 6k lookalike replacement bulbs myself ... are they the ones you're running?

Got one of em and they are really deep, to say that when the bracket is fitted to the car, the distance between the car and the numberplate is about 12cm or something stupid so it looks daft lol - Will just stick with sticking it on the front now as it does have a slight downward angle

Figured I'd pop a thread together for Reo, my FN2 which I am enjoying every minute of (despite some minor issues!). Heres a pic from when I bought her about a month ago: After a good wash, wax and clay-barring and I fit some Heko wind deflectors at the same time as some engine bay dress-up...

Fancy getting one of these for more of a JDM look, got an import size front plate on the way to replace the sh*t plate that came on the front of the car ( still scrubbing the sticky pads off the bumper >:( ) has anyone got any experience with one of these brackets? I'm in an FN2 if that helps...

Good lord, I will get on top of this soon....thanks Loxy I owe you a beer

These are the ones I'm rattling on about, have I whipped the wrong one out? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3bQtWuRcbek/maxresdefault.jpg

Hi all, Really sorry if this comes across as noob, but i've only had the FN2 for 2 weeks and we're still getting to know one another having had an EP3 before! So, i've bought 501 bulbs for my sidelights, go to fit them and the bulbs currently in there are seated in metal holders with a...

Morning all, This morning I pulled up to work and noticed a pretty clear rattle/knocking coming from the rear of the car (possibly drivers side). I did a search on the forum and read up about heatshield rattles but it seems asthough my knocking is far more pronounced than the rattle you get...

Thanks all, I would use an adaptor normally but this wire is PROPERLY beaten up, to the point where it won't work regardless. I suppose I could get the dash apart and see how it's connected in the hope I can replace the wire for a lightning one ...

Hey, my FN2 has got a beaten up old-style iPod connector for the aux input in the little hatch beneath the OEM stereo. My question is wether or not it's possible to strip this back and splice it with a newer iPhone lightning cable? if so, anyone local in Sussex or Redhill able to do this for me...

Thanks all, found a cheap pair of Heko's on eBay so if they look crap I'll replace with climair ones! Pics to follow ;)

Hey all. Used to have wind deflectors on the EP3 but they ended up being a pig to fit had to use industrial carpet tape to hold them in. Come someone reccomend me some decent ones which fit well in my new FN2? Have to assume Heko ones? cheers

Hey I could use a pair! Happy for me to PayPal you now?

Ta bud

Haha, i dont own that nonsense!

Hey guys, Going to pick up my set of deflectors tomorrow but need to get some tape for them. What sticky tape have you all used for yours? I dont wanna buy some weak stuff and see them blow off half way down the motorway Cheers! Chris

Cheers champ, big help :)

Well suits i was tempted to do it like bright yellow, with gold trim. Then put a PHAT Mugen Power symbol in the middle. Changed my mind at the last minute ;)

Just used different grades of wet and dry until it was smoother than a babys bottom. Then used good old Halfrauds paint and primer!

I think im gonna do that Tom. Will spray the paint into the bottom of another can and use that as a dish. Old school ;)

Having painted my door handles, heres my process photos for my refurb of my center console! Unfortunately after all the effort i managed to take a little chip out of the paint RIGHT as i was refitting :evil:....still, heres the images! Hope you like it! Before... Removing Dash.... Holyest...

So i recently refurbed my interior door handles, got 3 pictures of before, during and after. I think they came out laavely, gonna set about doing my center console the same colour tomorrow! :D Before..... After some sanddingg.... And the finished product :) Cheeeers chaps :D

I did exactly that griff and my muscles went BOINK ;). Nah, but i got it done in the end. Got 3 grommets on flea bay for £2 :p

Yeah done that.....and the 2 on the underside of it...?

Hey guys, me once again! Set about de-wipering my rear windscreen today. Only issue so far is that i cant for the life of me get the main bit of boot plastic out. The left side seems to have more give than the right side but it just wont budge. Ive pulled and pulled! And for anyone...

Ive been offered a set of pre-facelift rear lights which, lets all agree, are a darn sight better than the facelift ones. Anyway, how easy is it to swap rear facelift lights to pre-facelift ones? Cheers in advance guys! Kris

Sorry bud may not have been clear - i mean the actual door handle that opens the door!

Can anyone let me know how this is done? Could use a refurb :) Thanks in advance!

Hello boys and girls, Went to go and see this strut brace (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OMP-Strut-brace-Civic-Type-R-EP3-/110832224078?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6610368376409258214#ht_500wt_1287) and when i had a look at if it would...

looks like j's racing is the way forward eh

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a strut brace for my ep3 facelift. Have had a look under the bonnet and it literally looks like there's NO clearance whatsoever on the left side for one to fit? With the a/c pipes and resoviors where they are? Anyone fancy shedding some light?! Thanks :D

She is clean :)

Got the Head Unit from Halfrauds mate, was £140 but couldnt deal with the standard one!!

Hey chaps, how are we all :D Just a quick one, the other day i noticed a damp patch on the floor under my engine and it was coming from the right hand side. I had a quick look underneath but couldnt see much, although im 99% sure its my screenwash tank. Anyway, does anyone know how much a new...

I can work around you chap. Would help me out big time....im not the dab hand at these things lol! I can do painting etc. any time of day but not wiring things like HID's!

Scruffy, your in surrey do you fancy fitting them for me if i make the teas and give you a tenner haha? The ones im looking at buying are http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=250592

Ello chaps, I'm looking at buying a HID kit for my facelift ep3, anyone any good at fitting them and wants to do it for me? :D I'm in Sussex but can travel!!

Yeah just been out in the car and had a second thought. I think they will look crap. Ill stick with the silver ;)

Im looking at refurbing my door handles inside my EP3, and i fancy something a little different. Anyone think the standard Type R red would look any good? Or should i just stick to Vauxhall Star Silver???

does your cosmic grey clash??? yeah i mean the long strip of silver plastic over the door handle, or "**** me handle"

Anyone who can tell me how to remove interior door handle trim will win 10 Kris points.... ....and an extra 10 points to whoever tells me what colour i can buy thats closest :D

Haha not just yet bud!

Haha, its a godsend Jamie! Plans, nothing major really bud. Intake system would be nice, need center caps for my sodding alloys aswell but soooo much ££££'s :(

Yeah only cost me just over £100 hehe. Yeah the settings confused me at first but im all gravy now :). Loving the memebase face avatar by the way Mickey lol!

Hey guys, Just thought id say hello, im Kris im from Horsham in W. Sussex. Here are some pictures of my NHB EP3, havent done a lot yet but i do have plans :D So far just fit a new DDIN head unit and tinted the windows :D Cheers!

Fit my Double Din yesterday. All you need is a harness adaptor and your hot to trot. Mines left a little gap the the sides but nothing major :D

Rossy I can smell your sarcasm ;)

Griffin I might hire you as my personal aid haha!! Will have a stab later!

Hi guys, Got an import rear number plate for my ep3, wen to take off the old plate and the right side screw is knackered! No head whatsoever it's fully corroded away. What's the best method to remove this screw? I can replace it with another one!

I shall! Dont be suprised if there are bloody knuckles and things thrown in anger though :D

Need to contact them and see if i can collect it then....need one asap want a double din baby! Lol!

This any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC2-09-4-HARNESS-ISO-ADAPTOR-HONDA-MODELS-85-/220535413972?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3358ef5cd4#ht_1284wt_1081

Griffin you make my life easy :D, thanks bud. Need to find a bloody ISO harness somewhere and quick smart too lol

Ah i had seen that before, thnks Griffin. So the new HU will screw into the back of that center console panel, si?

Any chance of a link?? Whenever i search i find the complete opposite of what i want lol!

Hmmm, will go to Road Radio or something. So when im fitting the new HU into the center console - i need to remove the whole shabang-bang like Loxy did??

Anyone know what ISO Harness i need? Or is it literally called a Civic Type R ISO Harness lol?

So, to clarify (im a bit of a noob with this!), i dont NEED a fascia adaptor or a cage?? It should just slot straight in? Will i need an ISO harness though or whatever its called? at the moment ive just got the standard head unit in there that comes with it....

Hi guys, I really want a double DIN head unit for my EP3, found some really fairly priced ones online and (believe it or not) Halfrauds.... ...anyway, i read somewhere that although its better to HAVE the fascia adaptor/cage, its not 100% necessary, is this true or am i making it up? Only...
