Ok so it's been a while since I've posted a large thread on here or driven any sort of R, around 3 years to be exact! After moving house and changing jobs I needed a cheaper and more practical car, so I sold the type R and bought a Audi A4 diesel to help with the move and lugging stuff about...

My entire collection!

Ok, so I've been out of the Honda scene for a few years now (owned a NHB Prem) and I'm considering in buying another EP3 to do something that I've always wanted to do! Track day weekends! I've seen a satin silver 52 plate with 138k on the clock. Would you say that's a tad too high and also what...

I know this question has been asked, but I'm still struggling to find one! I'm planning on getting a bike in the next few months and I'm also in need of a decent roof rack. Do Thule do one that would fit the civic Type R - EP3? I'm just totally clueless! Help anyone?!

What's the verdict people, as I'm about out of wheel cleaner! :(

I know this topic has been done to death, though I'm in desperate need of the lot, as they're shot! Should I stick to OEM or will cheaper alternatives do? A friend of mine has suggested Europarts £250 all in... :-S

I've been given the two-stage glaze at work this evening and wondered if it's worth a bash? A friend of mine works at the Ford dealer and had a few bottles at home. :lol: I've read that dealers charge £200 or so for a Diamondbrite coating, though on eBay the stuff sells for around a fiver! Is...

My RHD wheel has developed a squeak over the last few weeks. It only seems to make a noise after I've driven it for abit. I had new discs and pads Sept 2007 and another new set of pads last June, so don't think it's them. Only thing I can really think of is that it's the wheel bearings. It also...

I've searched and the cheapest I can find was £84 per corner on Black Circles and that was without delivery and fitting. Does anyone know of places that sell them cheaper?

Basically since I've updated iPhone to iOS4 the search function on my stereo is going ever so slow. It's not to bad when just twisting the scroller wheel, though when push it in and twist to skip by letter it goes slow as hell! You kind of have to push and twist, listen for beep to say that your...

After speaking to Joe the other weekend and him recommending these brushes I ordered some straight away, as i've had enough with my cheap brushes. They are the Vikan wheel brush and the Vikan multi brush rim cleaner and what a job they do at shifting the dirt...

How many parts is the civic ep3 console? I'm after the rhd section immediatly under the stereo (just left of your foot rest) Reason being is that it's seems to have a huge crack in it and has been bodged with super glue! Funny thing is I've never noticed it until last night. I was wondering...

Any idea how to get it out? It's quite ingrained inbetween the threads. Have tried ice cubes and got the most of but can't seem to shift the rest! Does anyone know of a product I could get to shift the rest or another method?

I currently use a Megs G220, though thinking about switching to a rotary this year, as the time it takes with the DA is just ridiculous! Now is it worth spending a little more and getting a Makita or just buying a cheaper one? Also what model do people go for with the Makita, as there seems to...

I've had a sat nav installed for the past 3 years and took it out the other day. Where the antenna was on the dash, it's left I little sticky glue mark. Any idea what products I could use? I think AG glue/tar remover would be too strong and any sort out clay bar attempt would be too weak. Any...

I've just been on civinfo on my iPhone and seen that their site changes to fit in the screen. Abit like Amazon and Facebook when you log on. Any idea what's involved to do this on this site?

Now i know it isn't Honda or anything, though my mrs Polo keeps popping out of 1st when lifting clutch every now and again. Now it's a 1.2 58 plate so it's not exactly old and she hardly does any miles in it. I've searched the forums and can only find problems with the GTi 1.4 gear box. She's...

I'm thinking about getting my alloys refurbed for this summer and want them painted the orginal silver. They are the facelift UK EP3 wheels, if anyone knows the code or a paint finish as close as possible to the centre cap colour that'd be great.

I'm due to swap my alloys over next month and was wondering the best way to clean them. I'm thinking about using bilberry wheel cleaner then giving them a clay with some Megs QD. As for sealing i'm unsure whats best. I have CG jetseal, so i could use that, but was thinking of possibly trying PB...

I've come across the first problem of my civic, which seems to some sort of blockage in the rear washer. I've tried using a pin and had no luck. I know there's fluid getting to it as I disconnected the hose where boot hinge is and tired which worked. So the problem lies somewhere in the boot...

Alright people, your probably thinking what the hell, a fiesta, well its my mums :p Just a quick question, how important is a heat shield that goes over the top of the exhuast on the underside of the car floor and will it fail MOT without one. Thing is she just rang me up and got me to meet...
