THE END

Have my one for sale Loxy, comes with bluetooth & music streaming, have a brand new reversing camera that I never fitted to go with it too! Also includes the surround! Drop me a pm if your interested

£3,800 no offers, you wanna buy it back ;)

Listed it on the Cliosport forum & Piston heads and was just getting nothing but silly offers, to be honest I always knew this would be the outcome as its worth more in parts and would personally be happy to have something I've built up end with me especially if it was sold locally and seeing it...

The ball is now rolling! - http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?92173-Stone-s-Ep3-stripping-Tegiwa-Evo-8-wheels-Mugen-spoiler-Buddy-Club-MORE!!!&p=1212740#post1212740

The replacement car has now arrived & the engine has been listed on ebay so assume it won't be long till it will be stripped down :( tried selling it on complete but I think it's going to be stripped realistically.. really has been a cracking car with plenty of good drives through out my...

Have done car track days but never on the bike, Got a few months on the bike before this damp weather set in so looking to try Brands or Snett 300 when the dry weather returns next year :) A friend who races R6's and replaces his tires every race has donated me a set of Pirelli Super Corsa tyres...

Thanks mate :) Yea I know "if" I do sell it I wouldn't get another like it again, Was cracking on with some Christmas shopping last week and parked up in town & a standard Type R had parked up next to me when I returned (type R friend lol) and they just don't do anything for me in standard...

Thanks guys, Still going strong as it continues to take the mileage in its stride :) they are indeed the Evo 8 wheels, decided to run 215 tyres to give them a slight stretched look, really happy with them! Haven't updated the thread since the summer but it has only been general maintenance...

Connects 2 thing, Awful fit out of the box but with the dremmel + Components resin it fitted like a glove lol

JP Back Box Fitted Well after seeing a few Spoon N1 back box's at Japfest I decided it just wasn't the type of tip I wanted, Just looked far to small so ended up fitting a JP backbox with a 90mm tip, really pleased with the look & noise. Few Iphone video's (Poor quality I'm afraid)...

2 Minutes from Matthew Arnold School, You? Cheers mate, Really need to get some practice in at night but I guess they could have been alot worse lol! Thanks mate, Still drives & cleans up a treat for 135,000 miles ;) The Evo wheels work really well with the EP3 and the off-set is just...

Guess I'm getting like a broken record with the Pioneer lol, But honestly can't fault it for the £320 I paid for it last summer, Double din adapter needs some work but the end result is worth it - Full details in my thread -...

Where about's Dazza? You'll have to come along for some b-road blasting when the weather finally commits to sunshine lol

Cheers guys! Yes we're only 15 minutes from each other, I'm in Staines, Andr3w's in Chertsey & MPM is in Sunbury Middlesex NHB crew lol!

Leake Street London Few of us went into London for the evening and got some pictures of the cars in the graffiti tunnel & some quick shots by the millennium wheel, You'll have to excuse the quality of the pictures as I'm not the best on the SLR at night, Especially without the tri-pod, Comments...

Thanks guys, She's slowly getting there :) Yep the one I fitted for a friend came with fibreglass brackets and the spoiler only had 6 fixing points which unless it was glued down would rattle! Happy to report the one I purchased came with all 8 fixing points and is rattle free while driving!

Mugen Style Spoiler Ever since seeing an EP3 with a Mugen spoiler I have felt the urge to have one, So last week I purchased one online & waited for it to arrive from Slovenia, Fortunately the delivery times were exceptional taking only 4 working days to arrive from date of order! a quick...

Cheers mate, it's getting there, looking forward to getting the Mugen spoiler on there at some point this week!

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Past couple of months the Evo 8 wheels have been letting the car down with flaking/corrosion so opted for a home refurbishment, Fancied going back to black alloys as I felt it gave the EP3 a much more purposeful look, Finished off with some red wheel nuts & new Enkei...

All depends what you would like done, The OEM look like mine is £115.00 + Surcharge of £50 which is refunded when you return your steering wheel which means you can keep your car on the road :) Another option I was given - Really loved it but with the motorway miles and grubby hands it...

Steering Wheel Re-trim With the Type R covering over 135,000 miles the steering wheel was looking very tired/worn.. It was time for a retrim! The standard had gone "flat" in places and the stitching was coming away, As can be seen in the pictures below - Less than 2 weeks later Royal...

South Mimm's Honda Meet So with the epic weather over the weekend it would have been a shame not to have visited the gathering at South Mimm's service station on Sunday! Just a few pictures I grabbed on the iphone, you'll have to excuse the go-pro hanging off the door lol Also my...

So the EP3 has required its first real part replacement in the 8 months of ownership & to be honest I can't complain given the mileage and use it gets, So basically last week driving along the car feels like its dragging its heels, Get home and I could smell hot brakes, Upon inspection the rear...

haha your not the first to ask! planning to get it finished over the coming weeks then enjoy it over the summer! plenty of plans, As always with a hobby/project build! Nothing exciting this week other than replacing worn standard parts (Details to be added below) Cheers mate! I live in...

The EP3 ticked over 135,000 miles this week! Still pulling strong & cleans up treat!

Any good audio shop should be able to fit a double din, if your using the Connects 2 kit then it will need modifying to fit flush, like so -

Vs effort for not improving though lol

Fair play for having a go! Can't understand why you would go to the effort when the EP3 clocks look better though? maybe just my opinion!

Little bit more involved than that I'm afraid! Main beam - HB3 bulbs & HB3 Plugs Dipped - H1 but will require bulb holders if installing HID's although you could machine the mount but for the sake of £10 I wouldn't bother! Indicator bulb holders from Honda - Part no. 33303-SAA-003 There is no...

Pfffftt no :p Need to get my Mugen splitter! Afraid not mate, Camera wasn't charged so didn't get a decent amount of info/pictures! What is it your struggling with?

Shadow chrome is a good wheel colour choice, Audi if I remeber correctly? Want to do my Evo 8 wheels the same colour!

Looks like you've put some serious hours in there, good work :)

No worries, Glad it helped :)

The headlights - £120.00 HID Kit - £45.00 HID bulb holders £10 Indicator bulb holders £16.08 You'll have to fabricate some parts if your going from pre-face lift though, Not direct plug and play and there are two versions of wiring it all up! You can get H1 HID kits with ballast's for £20 of...

The HID or the Interior lighting?

Just thought I would add this info up as some of you carrying out the conversion may find it helpful, Taken from my project thread - So basically you will need to buy the Indicator bulb hold from Honda, But you can't buy the plug unless you want to purchase the entire engine bay loom.. So upon...

*** UP-DATE *** So the big question on the EP3's future was if it survived the drive to & from the French Alps in December, I'm happy to report it covered the journey faultlessly 4 up with all the luggage for 2 weeks minus the Snowboards! Quick picture of it on the first day where it spent 2...

My argument wasn't to sit and slate powerflow exhausts, it was to answer Hickys original comment - And the answer is simple, Its not the same thing, Having worked on countless Renault Sports over the past 5 years I have come across many exhaust fabricators some great.. some terrible.. I even...

Sadly because powerflow use the cheapest stainless steel they can find along with some of the worst welding my eyes have seen... Sorry to sound negative & i'm glad your happy with it but powerflow is the last "custom" exhaust builder I would be letting near my car

Good read mate, need to see your car with the new wheels! Marty said they didn't fit without spacers, should have gone Evo 8 wheels ; )

What worries me with buying a used set of Ebay is I could just end up with a pair of these pattern ones lol! Where did they need sealing in the end? Fresh set of headlights would look smart too & when I come to sell the car the lights would more than likely be removed/resold any way! With the...

Has any one tried the copys of the original headlights? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-2006-HONDA-CIVIC-TYPE-R-EP3-FRONT-N-S-PASSENGER-SIDE-HEADLIGHT-HEADLAMP-/380469904397?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5895c6040d trying to find a decent set that are not damaged/ marked is...

Thanks mate ;)

Quick video of two small clips, The rest i'm not entirely sure would be ideal to have publicly viewed lol - (Sadly Windows movie maker + lack of my Skill has managed to turn the Go-Pro 2 footage horrific) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2O0Wg-sgLg&feature=youtu.be

Yep, Don't disagree, The K-Pro certainly allowed more use of the RPM range.. Still prefer driving on the boil with a tight power band and the later cross-over (I am aware I could have adjusted it on the K-pro to kick in later if desired) Have you got a link to the monster 120 thread? be worth a...

Cheers for the comments guys :)

Always cool to hear from the original owner ;) Yep the K-Pro was sold for three reasons, I had no plans for anything more than the Tegiwa intake/induction set-up (been there done that chasing bhp on N/A cars) The value of the K-pro would pay for the Evo wheels, Tyres & Tegiwa! and finally I...

Just recently got back from the French Alps In the Type R! First time I've actually done the drive without heavy Snow/Ice so grabbed a few pictures along the way, Nothing fancy as I was having much more fun driving :twisted: Covered 1,400 miles in total, The car performed...

Only if you wanted the fit & finish the same as mine, Its worth the extra effort to get the better result :)

On the old Iso4/5 It can't without being jail broken as you need the screen out which basically mirror's your iphone to the head unit, not sure if Iso6 now offers it as I dare up-grade my iphone 4 as people are experiencing bluetooth audio streaming glitches currently

Buy cheap.... buy twice... I've never had any issue's with pioneers stuff over the years and is fairly user friendly

Sadly you pay big money for the Sat-Nav ready units :rolleyes: Its not overly complicated to Jail break an iphone plus free Apps like the Tomtom one are handy :cool:

Was from Car audio security in Hayes, Have bought all my audio stuff from there over the years! Wasn't a plug and play fit unfortunately, All down to the poor quality of the connects 2 fascia kit! ended up bonding and repainting it but I'm very happy with the end result and alot of people have...

As above, If there asking you how to build it walk away... Have seen some scary stuff over the years from "specialists"

Shame the EP3 Type R doesn't come with a decent trip computer :( Have just downloaded the Road Trip app, I don't really do massive miles to worry but certainly interesting to know what its capable of!

Depends how hard you push your gearbox, Have seen B&M Short shift kits on the Renault Sports massively increase synchro wear, But Renault gearbox's are far from solid :rolleyes:

Nice previous collection, EK4 Look's smart!

I posted about the Pioneer 2400BT, Great bit of kit for the £££, Last post - http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?80402-Post-your-head-unit/page3 Only downside, like the pioneer you have listed is front entry only so bluetooth streaming is the best option

Thats fair enough, Imagine the kit is more aimed at those with limited experience etc, I would ideally soldier/heat shrink rather than choc block/ crimp etc! I assume reading through the thread its a secret as to where the cable pick up is from.... shall be out with the volt meter/tracer...

When you say proper kits is there alot of difference between the thing on ebay i've linked, Ie it bolts in rather than just double sided etc?

Have seen a few threads lately with people installing red foot well lighting, Its not normally my cuppa tea but the idea has grown on me, have seen these on eBay cheap enough - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330818898963?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 So before I start tracing...

This is why I modified the scuttle panel to offer a better contact patch for the Velcro to sit, All part of the modifying fun :rolleyes:

Pioneer 2400BT - Great for Under £250 Key points for me - * Wireless music streaming through bluetooth * Built in hands free (made by Parrot) * With jail broken Iphone & display you can run the tomtom app (sadly does need the front mounted USB plugged in!)

The Connects 2 double din kit adapter was a terrible fit.. ended up having to bond the fascia adapter in & re-painting as the shade of silver was completely different! Was happy with the end result & very impressed with the Pioneer 2400BT for £245!

Looks like you've put alot time & money in, really like the pearl white, Not sure on the wrap but each to there own :)

I found the best thing for the finished look & securing the airbox to the scuttle panel was installing/bonding a larger trim of carbon to the scuttle panel using RS components resin then the Velcro supplied had a decent contact patch which got shot of the vibration while still allowing easy...

Rocker cover looks clean, Need to do mine when the decent weather returns!

Tegiwa Induction set-up is very efficient for the money, Scuttle chop is the only slight pain! £100 a corner is steep for powdercoat!

Would avoid powerflow all day long! Such poor material then you get the pot luck of the handy man putting it all together! Have yet to see a decent system from any powerflow dealer!

Looks great in the Championship white, Would love to paint mine in that colour but can't warrant the cost Vs the value of the car :(

Yea got them off a friend with a slower EP3 :lol:

They do look really smart & with a great off-set as standard! For those fitting the EVO 8 wheels to your Type R you will need a set of Spigot rings - 64.1 - 67.1 I bought the above set for £4.99 delivered off ebay -...

Black wheels look pretty trick on the Milano's, Personal choice obviously!

I always wanted a Milano Red but ended up with NHB! always the way lol, looks clean enough for the mileage! need to sort the rear wiper out ;)

I guess it depends on who you speak too, One dealer I spoke to said they would only do it if they supplied a new ECU! but Honda Trident let me put the car in the work bay, swap the ECU's over and then they carried out the programming

Thought you Honda boys were all for OEM/ scene points :p

If your looking for a standard sound when driving normally and the "roar" when on the power its worth looking into intake modifications

*** UP-DATE *** So I found some free time today to get the Tegiwa finished, The only slight flaw with the Tegiwa/ Guppe M is the scuttle panel chop which leaves you with this - I had think and decided rather than paint it and end up with the colour being different that I would use some...

Call me gay but I would like them to match the OEM theme lol

Looks very smart, Had a look on the web-site and there only 15 minutes away from the girlfriends! My oem wheel has covered 130k so looks even worse than yours, only part of the car that's letting the mileage show!

Thanks for copying that over for me dotty :) Still can't decide if I want the premier seats... sat in a friends last night and I just don't think they are as supportive on the base as the standard, shall have a play in the coming weeks with the standard seat and see if anything can be done...

Can't view as I'm not a member! Worth signing up or would you be able to copy & paste for me please matey?

My all time fav wheel colour was on my old Speedline 2118's -

Real pain to keep clean, Would personally choose another colour for that problem alone! Anthracite maybe?

18's look really big on the EP3, Was originally going to get a set of FN2 Type R alloys but it just looked to "bling" with the 18's for my liking

Smart car! looks like some time & money has been spent there!

Thanks :) Decided on the Evo wheels as the offset was perfect - And I do really like the look of them, little bit different as there are so many Type R's round here! Thinking of installing a set of face lift headlights complete with HID bulbs, Forgot how bad normal halogen bulbs are at...

LOL, Project thread name change? - Stone's Fast Road/ Track/ Forum slut EP3 Type R

Cheers, shall keep an eye out although I still prefer the support from the standard seats, In the Renault Sport world we also have the Recaro Trendlines & granted they look the part but the bolsters are not firm enough to really hold you on those spirited drives... decisions decisions... shall...

Its done the rounds through the owners on here it seems lol

Thanks :) I got the wheels for £200 but all the tyres were the wrong size/ illegal tread so dread to think what the car would have drove like on the tyres supplied! x4 Hankook V12 Evo's in 215/45/17 cost me £320 Fitted, really rate them for the money for daily/fast road use & they have a nice...

The Premier Recaro's carry such a price tag for essential a seat that is no better than the original + the cost of the frames :( Would be looking at £1000 with seats/frames just to get the height down lol

The only ones I can find are for side mounted buckets seats & spoon make a set to lower the Recaro's, Looks like custom is going to be the only way, just need to drop the seat 25-30mm and it would be perfect but don't want to go down the after market seat route! Shall try and get a seat out in...

Seems like there is nothing on the market given the lack of replys... Shall try and get the drivers seat out and see if there's any way of mounting it directly to the floor pan with a custom seat frame

Any solutions for this on the standard Type R seats? Have found a kit that lowers the Recaro's found in the premier editions etc but can't find any for the normal Type R! Not a major if I can't but feel a little high being 6'2! Not fussed if the drivers side can't have a runner as I load...

Nice find, good to see the car has been well cared for in terms of parts/servicing, Used heavily though lol! Wonder if the baffled sump is still in there! A friend bought it from Birmingham and then I bought it from him in Sunbury so its gone through 2 owners since that thread!

Cheers mate, Previous chap spent some money along with the coilovers it seems - http://www.sumopower.com/product/js-racing-rear-pillar-bar--js-pb-ps

Car looks really smart! This annoyed me with the Connects 2 kit which I assume you have? the shade of silver is completely off :( Ended up repainting my entire centre console!

Stone Automotives EP3 Type R Thought I would throw some pictures up of the progress over the past 2 weeks on a Type R I took in on part Exchange! For those that don't know I run a small business working on the Renault Sport scene and have owned Countless Renault Sport MK2 Clio's over the years...
