How do the Project Mu pads compare to the PBS ones? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is normal. Mine is pretty accurate up to around 30mph, then the higher the speedometer reads the less accurate it is. I believe these were regulations set so you could not be prosecuted for speeding when it is not the drivers fault e.g. Your speedo reads 70mph but you are doing 75mph...

Really enjoyed that video. All on stock internals as well! Top marks to Honda for that. My boss has just spent a fortune forging his R26 Megane to push it into the 300 mark! Brilliant car though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Impressive! Highest mileage I have heard of on an EP3. Hope you get the issues resolved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Impressive stuff indeed. Really starting to take shape now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome. Looks a nice example [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice indeed. That EG looks gorgeous! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used to frequent the Quays quite a few years back! Used to be really good in the summertime. The photo was of the MX5 & the Golf. Apparently Top Gear filmed there a few years ago. Great update also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The reason I asked was the photo taken by the airfield. I'll give you a wave when you get her on the road mate (05 Cosmic Ep3) You also have TGM Just up the road in Fleet if you ever need any advice or work done. Keep up the good work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is highly impressive. I wish I was as mechanically minded as yourself! Any work on mine I have to pay for lol You in Farnborough by any chance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So they purchased one then? Last time I spoke to Tom he wasn't sure if they were going to or not. Are they still planning to race the FK2? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine does the same also, as Hazz says it is a very common fault on these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jdm rear Arb is a cracking little mod, and fairly cheap as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^ This. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check today's posts on here, a chap is about to get rid of his, forum member and sounds like a nice example. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's a premier edition then I would say around the 5k mark, if not then 4.5k Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That Astra GSI looked very quick! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That seems a fair price in my opinion. Mine is a very similar spec and mileage, and if I was looking to sell then I would be looking for around the same. Good luck with search though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, thanks mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought they were using Petronas Syntium 5w40? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate. Unfortunately the car was a bit of a dog. Advert said the car had FSH but the chap could not locate the service book, and last invoice he had was back in 2014! Obviously walked away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

About to go and view a Ep2 Sport for my partner. Was hoping someone can confirm they have a belt and not a chain as in the K20. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice collection! I have a couple of them myself. Would love the Mugen RR one though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eurospec is in Guildford, and has a very good reputation. tgm in Fleet use them also for mapping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I only use Honda MTF-3 gearbox oil. Fill it until it pours out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To abstract 119 bhp per litre n/a out of a four cylinder engine was unbelievable, so as above getting anymore out is minimal. I think the Hondata flashpro works on later models though for lower Vtec engagement and so on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice indeed.

Impressive stuff! Has it had any sort of rebuild in that time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw a metallic green S2000 in Odiham, Hants earlier today and was wondering if anyone knew if this was a factory colour? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as your o.k, that's the main thing. Stay positive and I'm sure you will be in another one before too long! [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What an absolutely lovely example. Will keep an eye on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I changed the belt on mine which helped, but there was still a slight noise, so changed the top pulley and that sorted it. Whatever it is though, good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aux belt, or one of the pulleys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice. It really suits that colour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations, very nice indeed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Impressive collection indeed! Any chance I could have one of them? Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My clutch change came to £480, so that must mean around £300 of it was labour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quality reg plate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tom at TGM told me that they were now using Petronas, so ordered a litre for top ups etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only £120 postage also! Bargain! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was you eating potatoes whilst writing that last comment![emoji6] very nice though, have always liked them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice plate, but yes I would share your feelings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Accord type r? Peanuts to buy and has a lsd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No one can doubt your commitment to a n/a Honda! Just will be interesting to see how long it is before your back in one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This does make you wonder though, if emission regs never got in the way could Honda have made a n/a Vtec engine to compete with what is out there today? something similar to a k24 build maybe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in the right list, plus I would go for the red H. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I always average between 250-280 miles in mine and think that generally is the average for a Ep3. I once managed 350 on a motorway journey, and 160 on a spirited drive. Are your journeys any different to affect the average your getting now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would prefer the thermos type, but either way I will still have one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You will be hard pushed to find a Jdm ep3 or a good Dc5 for 5-6k. But a Ukdm model you will get a very clean low mileage example. Very good guides on here what to look out for when buying. Check out Pistonheads/Autotrader etc and you will find a nice one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would imagine the majority of people will not know it is an FK2, so will not see the connection to the plate. I always have liked a K20 plate which are cheap and no one surely will confuse it for a 1992 car! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just noticed my name is on the list twice also. Just the one needed. Many thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Polished metal gets my vote. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would buy one for work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's a burring type noise then it could be a sign of the clutch on its way out. I had that on mine around those rpm's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is quite a trek, but for a once a year service, I would make the trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are very reasonable, and they are very good. I'm lucky enough to live just round the corner, but I know they will drop you off in town for a couple of hours if you don't want to sit around. If I owned an FD2 I would be making the extra effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know how you feel! Any work I want done I just pay for it as I don't trust myself! I changed the battery on the Civic last month which I was pretty chuffed with though! Ep3's are always being broken so have a look around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do your checks (Hpi etc) as you mention it has body damage, so a Cat C or D will effect its value. You don't mention if it's a Prem edition, preface/facelift, which affects value also. I would ask why the timing chain was changed at 72k? Could be a indicator of how the car has been used. Some...

17k is excellent, I will be more than happy with that. I occasionally do the odd track day but apart from that the car only covers around 4K a year so should get a few years out of them. Thanks for the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. Only use the Civic as a weekend car so wouldn't have a problem going for the super sports. Have Falkens all round from the previous owner which haven't been a bad tyre, but looking forward to seeing the difference with these on. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just been to Costco and had a look around the Tyres they have as mine will need replacing soon. Having read good things about the Goodyear Eagle f1's, I made a decision to go with them until I saw these today. They didn't have the EP3 size on display, but the chap said they are more or less the...

That was brilliant, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very common problem with these, mine done the same. Tom from Tgm ordered me a scuttle insert from Tegiwa which helped a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very impressive! I have a Gruppe M and the same exhaust setup as yours. Never had mine tested, but would have been happy if it hit the 200hp mark, so that is interesting, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are the gains from just a intake and decat? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seen this down there, and will be nice to see it brought back to life. Bargain! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The traders section on here will sort you out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really suits the car, nice to see something a bit different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

100k, and around a few hundred quid I would imagine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not the best description to be honest. Is a premier edition? Not all 2005 plates were. Service history etc. If it is a prem with fsh then I would say around 6k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello and welcome. Use the search bar and you will find everything you need to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still it is a huge change of opinion from "being the best hot hatch ever to "being outdated" His opinion of the 2 cars is totally subjective of course, but I do not buy such a drastic change of heart. I will read unbiased forums like this one and respected websites like Pistonheads, Evo etc to...

And a couple of months before that he said the Fk2 was the greatest hot hatch ever made on his you tube channel! That guy has no credibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a chap on here recently with a facelift Jdm. Also saw a 05 plate earlier this year down at Tgm. Very nice car though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw a champ white Fn2 going through Ancells farm heading towards Tgm around 2ish. Lovely car if it was yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any 5w40 fully synthetic is perfect for these engines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is all over the dipstick but can still clearly see the level on the max mark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After my car is serviced at Tgm the level is a fraction above the maximum mark from cold, then checking it after a few minutes when warm it is bang on the max mark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Light just came on at 281 miles. About average for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anthracite really looks the part on a NHB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The usual sites. I have a 05 cosmic in great condition with 75k on it, 10 stamps in the book and I would be lucky to get 3.5 4k for it. Just so many out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As above, Considering the EP3,s depreciation has hit rock bottom there are some real bargains to be had, to my frustration[emoji35] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you get your Civic back on the road? Really enjoyed your build thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very impressive, well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only use Honda MTF gearbox oil. Glad you got your car sorted. I'm sure one of the traders on here can sort you out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a purple FD2 on Pistonheads/Autotrader last week which I believe would be the 3rd one sold in this country. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back in a Honda by the end of the year lol! Actually quite like the look of these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice. Have you considered a Jdm plate for the rear? Just got one for mine, really happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tapatalk you can just upload the photos from your library. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

About 32 mpg in a 05 ep3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Top man, cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking to do the Jdm plate swap on my cosmic. What were the dimensions of the plate if you don't mind me asking. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure about them in an ep3. Premier edition Recaros suit it perfectly. That must be some Civic to have them in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love a Cosmic. They really look the part when cleaned up properly. Enjoy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
