Lads, strange question here but are the facelift DC5's a different blue to pre facelift. Whenever I see both examples the facelift always seems to be a 'nicer' blue. Below is a prime example. Cheers lads.

Evening chaps, Here is my current car, which will surprise some of you as it is not a Honda of any sort. I've come back to Ford for a bit until I find a suitable replacement for the DC5. I thought the ST would be a great interim car so decided to get one that looked rude. Anyway, the machine...

Guys, An annoying one here. While driving, if I flash my lights the stereo turns off and the start up SRS and Battery lights flash on for a moment. It also does when I turn the AC on at times. It has actually cut out completely as well which is not good. Now I have replaced the battery which...

Today saw a new car to the Hatton household. Emma (wench) sold her 1.0 Arosa and bought herself a Lupo GTI. It's a 2001 car with only 54k miles on the clock. Two lady owners with the last owning it for 9 years Any members from Southend may recognise it as that's where we went to get it from...

How about opening it up for us to post both pics and abuse in there? then once the chat dies down a few pages back can be deleted only to leave the pics. Easy Peasy. HATTON

Just thougth I'd make you all aware that Asda have an offer of any 2 for £5 on car cleaning gear. The only thing worth taking advantage of is the 2 litre Demon Shine. So that works out 4 litres for £5. It's a good price when Halfords are flogging it at £6 for 1 litre. I'll be using it solely...

Hi all. I could do with a quick answer for those in 'the know' Will the below set's of wheels fit my DC5? I know the offset's are different but will this be OK? http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=208993 and these which are 17x7 +42 offset and 5x114.3 pcd...

Evening team, Ever since looking for a DC5 I have always wanted a CW one, which I now have. However, I have always been tempted with a NHB one and going the whole 'stealth' theme. The real temtation has come only recently with the TRO forum changes. The banner picture above is really giving...

Well today was a very exciting day as myself and Keeno purchased a Ford Racing Puma #425 which has done only 30700 miles. The car has been well looked after in the past but currently needs a little TLC to get her back to her prime. As weve both owed FRP's in the past, we just had to buy this...

Hi guys, after driving Keeno's DC5, I've pretty much realised that I need a new clutch for the Teg. Gear changes aren't as smooth as they were on my EP3 and clutch pedal is quite stiff and not a great deal of feel. All expected in a 82k car. Anyway, after doing some research and whoring the...

Deary me, I knew I was going to be writing this some day but I dodn't expect to do so this recent. I have sold the Civic (which I adored) and splashed out and bought my dream car. YES, dream car. This may not seem like a dream car to many people, but I have been aching for one of these bad boys...

Hi guys, Just so you are aware, Elephant and Bell will now insure DC5's. They haven't done in the pasts, so now check them out. I called my provider Elephant on the off chance a few weeks back to see if they would change my car over to a DC5 and to my amazement they can and are only charging...

I cleaned the car today followed by the ever effective Optimum Spray Wax. I do this after every clean. It gives a great shine, which I'll let the pictures tell you.

Hello fellow TRO'ers. I started this thread on another forum and have a few good responses. So it's time to share. I feel this could be the place where we all share best practice with each other. The cleaners bible if you like. Whether it's the products you use or the method taken. What...

Guy's, what one shall I go for? I currently have a N1 and want to go for a centre section. Taking everything into account, what shall I go for? :confused:

Possible repost here. If not, enjoy TRO'ers... http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61106

Today saw Paul's Type-R hit ches Hatton for a good clean. My mate popped round also, so a long day could be cut down a bit. Only took 2 hours with all hands on deck. I cant believe how deep the red looks after all the bits we used. Im happy with the results and i'm sure Paul also is. So heres...

Lads, When I click the 'Reply' button to do a quick reply, it always quotes the person and goes into the advanced reply screen. Is this clear? It only ssems to do this on my home computer. Is it me? :confused:

Today saw my pal Keeno pop over to ches Hatton for a cleaning sesh on his ST. No real Pictures in progress but heres how it went .... Before..... After a regular shampoo, Keano pulled out the Megs clay and gave the car a good seeing to, while i used a microfibre to dry it. After all that...

The folks have gone away to Cornwall for a week on the train so I thought it would be a good idea to give Dad's ST a clean, as its in the garage. I really went to town on this bad boy and im extreamly happy with the results. Performance Blue is such a rewarding colour to clean. First up was...

Enjoy...

Heres some of my latest pics....

Today i used mosty Meguires stuff. Which is strange as im not their biggest fan. Car does however look good. I used just the stage 2 polish (none of this 20 step ********) followed by clear coat wax. A nice finish

Hi guys, Im newish to here. Im off to look at a 2002 Civic Type R later on this afternoon, so im looking for a bit of info. Especially on higher mileage examples. The one im looking at has 66k on the clock with a full service history. Is this really a problem? and secondly, what do i...
