Traded it, was patient with private sale. Plus it had private plate , garage did transfer more quicker and easier. Traded it for £11500 which was the highest i got for a part ex.

Me bad :p

Funny thing is the blue interior was never to my liking , but you will get used to it after a while. The sound insulation is very good compared with the Evo. I assume with the MR they stripped out alot of the sound insulation ( no wonder it sounds so loud with a decatted Nur spec ) wheres with...

Sti 50k mileage ( i only do 6k a year ) paid £10'850

A little update. The M3 bug was biting me badly and also wanted something different to the Evo, i took the plunged about two months ago and sold the Evo for a E46 M3. One owner , 30k mileage , new 19's OEM wheels , new pads , Manual and in excellent condition. Any regrets ? obviously it wasnt...

Was down in Indigo GT where Ant & Co looked after me very well. Had Eibach springs fitted aswel as FRS. The car is sitting nicely as i would like it. No scraps on front bumper yet, but i do anticipate some humps/bumps will be a little to high for it. Handling is what i imagine. Ok its not...

sorry wont be selling calipers and disc yet. here one picture i took before dark

Those re30 does look very nice. I was offered 1700 for the set, without rubber. Shame it was out of my budget.

Harv where yours on 18s? Im looking to get eibach springs plus FRS. So it should give it more aggresive stance. Colour choice is good for me. In daylight its does show out the goldish bronze more. Overal im happy with the result , next plans probably bigger brakes and bigger seats.

After getting the wheels from Peeler :smthumbup Ive decided that i needed to spray it to the closest bronze.Although it was quite hard and literally impossible to find a closest paintcode for the rays bronze. I decided to go for the BMW sepang Bronze. I know its on 17's and i didnt want to go...

Lee5 has been mapping for a while now. Hes very popular on the MLR and kents best geekmapper. i believe he also mapped Rmcya old evo too. Im trying to source out a decent camera suction mount for the car. So hopefully be able to get some videos in couple weeks time

Just another mini update. Took the car down to Kent again to meep up geekmapper Lee5. Originally plans were to have pops and bangs installed, but after a few discussions about my remap with RG's Lee decided to have my car recheck again. So out came out the laptop and mapping was begun :) Lee...

Just another mini update. Took the car to RG Motorsports in kent and got the car Remapped along with a Walbro fuel pump, HKS air filter , ARC heat sheild. Prior this i bought the HKS Air filter a month ago but was intended to install it as i thought it would sound very similar to all the...

I used my mrs Nikon D80. Although the HDR effect is not everones liking it was my first attempt of playing around with the pictures. It does look a bit over the top but its not everyday i get to fiddle around on photoshop. :)

just mini update. No mods of yet on the evo just bought another car for the MRS. VW GTI DSG , its so silky smooth yet the power is so sutble but affective. On the same week brother inlaw decided to part his 206 in exchange for a RX8 Pz. So heres a little photoshoot .

Thanks stu for your stirrup, very useful info. I think ** need to test drive both cars to see if they meet my needs. The scary thing is IF i save a total of two years from today it will be possible of get a gtr. But the running cost on that thing will rape me lol

But one thing I'm uncertain is the ride. The evo ride was alot more comfy compared to my old ep3.somehow I feel the fd2 will be similar to the ep3 :( Running cost isn't so much of an issue as it will be purely a weekend car.

lol i know, but in someways my heart is still tugging me to the vtec direction. I know having ep / fn is out of the question, but aftering seeing an FD2 on the road it makes me want one. Purely because of its so rare and i know it will retain its value.

No updates. Thinking of just leaving the car as it is. Modding bug hasn't bitten mr so just use the money to save up. Just want to focus on maintaining it to the best I can. Recently I've being thinking of selling up and go for either a csl or a fd2.

loving your mild anti lag. Do you have ECU TEK fitted or was that on a standard ecu ? My 320 MR is pretty much standard apart from the decat and panel filter and i would love to get it sound like that :)

mini update Took the car for its 45k service which involves the cambelt at Norris Design. Looked after my car really well and certain will take my car up there for my next service interval. Also bought some minor goodies along with the car Turbosmart Dual blow off valve Vortex generator...

looks a very tidy looking 6 :cool:

front lip for sale on mlr http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=306784

:p My mrs bought more than us altogether (hello kitty junkie). I wanted to buy tuning stuff for the car but was reluctant because i didnt do my homework on which model it was for. Shame , but it was a nice experience. Tokyo has really grown on me, obviously the city life can be too much at...

had it slotted in but havent wired it up. :lol: Been trying to find a guide to show me where to wire it up. Failing that ** probably give it to norris design in my next service

Shinonome , near the bay. Apparently its the biggest in Tokyo. Good experience, biggest regret is i bummed around there for nearly two hours and the only thing i got is just two keyrings :(

thats 'carbon style' plenty of fake carbon around ebay. Look around the MLR ive got my vortex for £155 from a bloke who sold it too me brand new. Couple weeks ago i also saw a 9 carbon lip for sale, think its gone now.

Just a minor update to let you guys/ girls know what ive done to the car. Alpine headunit Ralliart guage HKS Gearknob Vortex generator Clifford Alarm also ordered Turbosmart dualvalve BOV.

im still here , havent sold it yet :p Any updates ? well havent been able to spend some decent quality time in cleaning it as the weather in these two months is cruddy. Went to Tokyo over the christmas period and the streets are filled with R35's. The AutoBacs ( Japs version of Halfords) is...

damn friggin fookers , i being conned :p

few people from the MLR were lucky to get certificate from the smart nav. But after a while they stop sending certificates out :confused: When i registered mine two weeks ago i got refused a certificate hence the reason why i opted for RAC trackstar.

Thatss the Smart Nav button. Pretty cool at first but i personally think its a novelty :p. The Tracker which is built in isnt approved by insurance company, unless you are the lucky ones which were given a certificate by them. IF you looking for a tracker then go for this one...

looks very nice indeed. How do you find the drive ?

Ive paid £800 including breakdown + 5 years NCB. Prudential who i was with for 5 years wanted £1k :eek: and wouldnt even budge for any loyalty discount, wheres kwik fit insurance gave me this quote without the proof of tracker.

cheers harv , should be straight forward. But knowing me i probably mess it up :p

going to the garage to get it checked out this weekend and topped up to see me through till the next service. Ordered myself a nice Vortex Generator :cool: hopefully it shouldnt take long to get it delivered.

the road tax is slightly more expensive compared with the 8's ? I think that was the reason why i opted for a 8 because of the £400 tax on 9 360 :(

Well it was the one located at the rear left boot. the Right side is for screen wash. Either way i will get it sorted. Just need to source out a decent garage to do it. Dont want to travel 2hours just to get it sorted. Apart from Norris is there any other alternative garages near somerset ?

No mate , was stuck in traffic in yeovil :rolleyes: Next time im on the 303 will be two weeks time when visit parents. Just gave the car a regular check all round and notice the Diff level ( located my rear left boot ) was nearly at the low level. It was recently serviced :confused: Is...

well the previous owner had it decat. should i jump to get it remap straight away with no mods on ? Where to get it map and what price should i be looking for? How much was it to get it re lacquered ? On the MLR forum theres a guy who done it for £200 but hes all the way up in Ireland.

Been quite lucky with my civic. Posted it up on Pistonheads heads for two days and on the third day i had a buyer willing to meet my asking price. Once all that was all sorted i had to find my replacement. Went to collect this good example up in Nuneaton. The owner works in a farm and last...

Stripping the car now. Mods for sale http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=611969#post611969

i ideally dont want to spend anymore money on my ep3. So you suggest save money for eibachs OR go back to OEM springs ?

being having the same problems as you guys. Took it back to my local garage to examine it three times and double/triple checked everything. No problems with shocks, no leakage or anything. How do you guys cure this problem ? apart from resorting to go back to OEM springs.

was you able to hear that metalically sound from the toda mani OR was the N1 too loud ? :twisted:

how does the n1 with toda mani sound ? Is it terrible loud. I was too scared to have that combo fitted :p Brave man stu. You notice much difference in motorway driving ? how does 5/6th gear feel ?

:p sorry , babble on too much

did u manage to sort out your suspension ? im too have some problems with the noises coming from my suspension. I think its the Tein S tech springs. which is causing some creaks and noises when i go over bumps and steering :confused: Read on some threads they spray white grease on the springs...

full marks for spending 900 squids on a induction. :cool: personally for me i wouldn't 800 was my limit for my toda exhaust. Any plans of any other mods. Now that you spent that much for the induction it kinda sets the tone for the rest of the car. dont be getting no powerflow exhaust :p...

the k100 is map to airfilter / exhaust. The todas growing on me more and more. More importantly i got it at a good price and it doesnt get you fooked up after a long drive. :p

ahhhh i remember , i was checking your car out when i first arrive at 9am. loving the mugen exhaust and front mugen grill / lip. 5th gear vtec ... am i serious ? Ofcourse ! i didnt notice the noise before the mods. But did it a couple of times and u could hear the Gruppe M note change...

i agree , just need the front mugen lip and maybe a bonnet to finish off the exterior

Did i see you last monday ? What car is yours? Spent the whole day at TGM but it was well worth the trip. Transformed the car :cool:

just had my toda manifold and RBC / throttle body fitted with my toda exhaust. made a huge improvement. Pull so much harder in lower gears and in the vtec. Also even got 5th gear vtec. never happen before.

I have a buddyclub bonnet and just recently had a RBC fitted. Spoke to Tom at TGM about my concerns over the wires exposed to water around the RBC area. He mention it will be fine, but i could also get a FN2 manifold cover ( as the EP3 one doesnt fit anymore ). Can someone double confirm that...

A few updates of the car. bought some fogs a while back, never manage to hae time to fit them so decided to spend the whole afternoon fitting them. Also source out a Buddyclub shortshifter which at first was a bitch to fit. After driving around with the Toda exhaust with the OEM manifold...

There's a proper mugen bonnet for sale, although you would need to spray it CW. Think that would set up the car nicely.

ok bought a second hand fog light kit for my facelight Ep3. As mention before i had no problems doing the exterior wiring and taking the bumper off and wiring it up from there. I got stuck on #16 where i have to find the fusebox and insert the single lead. Been reading on this post and most of...

tell me about it. was stuck there last week for one hour midnight:confused:

Cant wait , waiting for the JDM front ARB / RBC / Buddyclub shortshifter should be coming through the post any time. Booked it in at TGM on 15th to have it all fitted :WOOT

nice to see the exhaust going to a decent looking JDM civic:cool: I hear you out in the A303 :p

booked the civic in TGM (2 weeks time ) to have RBC / Toda mani fitted. Spoke to Tom / TDi nort & South and they all told me not to bother fitting the Spoon ETD. The engine mounts is enough to look after the Manifold :D Just have to not drive the car too much to avoid damaging the exhaust...

cheers guys for all your advices. Im kinda stuck in a dilema now, installed the Toda manifold along with engine mounts/exhaust mounts. BUT have it UNMAPPED for atleast 1 month. Reason why i leaving it for 1 month is because i have to wait for my RBC to be delivered and also save some bit of...

spoke to TDI and they said once i fit the Toda Mani, it should take away the problem. Problem is i have to wait for the RBC to deliver and save up for remapping cost

everything looks all intack. bolts ,screws are all fastened tightly.

Recently i have a Toda exhaust fitted but after driven it i notice on town journey its perfectly fine, but in motorways on 60-70mph after u let go of the throttle its has a popping vibration (similar to my previous spoons exhaust when it had moisture in the bpipe). Its exactly the same feeling...

Fitted the Toda exhaust this morning, gave it a little test drive. It's so quiet! Similar to stock standard :shock: In Vtec the Gruppe M's even louder than that. lol The local garage complimented on the craftmenship of the exhuast and the welding skills on it :cool: Overal im very happy...

look what arrive today...... Be fitting it tomorrow :twisted: I always thought the Toda backbox was lighter than the spoon's , I was sooo wrong. :lol: Surprising how big the back box is. Hopefully this shouldnt be that loud :P

did salems wales run last weekend and loved it Heres some pictures taken from them. many thanks This pictures said its all ...... relaxing and just simply absorbing the nice surroundings. Thanks to Lynda and Andy for arranging this and for the pro pictures

yes those are tein S techs , lowers around 20-25mm. So far im loving the ride and just the way it looks. Nothing OTT but gives that slight aggressive stance. The Gold LCA would suit your car Stu :p Paid £170ish from the US ebay. gives a slight improvement in the handling. Just thinking is...

nice read up ! Keep up with the good job and nice photos as well :cool:

nice, looking very nice. Any plans of do anything on the exterior ?

i like that number plate ... so tempting

Yes it was me down in south mimms, what car did u drive ? lol @ stu. The number wouldnt suit your JDM CTR. Unless you want to swap cars ;)

just had the Skunk Lower control arms fitted. Although i wasnt expecting much in terms of handling wise/ stiffness, i was surprise that it does gives some little bit more of stiffness in the back end ( IF that made any sense).

just out of curiousity , how does a toda mani/spoon B pipe / N1 sound ? Similar to a dc manifold combo ? Loud ? :p

did u have engine mounts on yours to protect your mani or do u have the etd fitted aswel >

how many N1's have you own on your previous CTR's / DC5 ? :p. Not fed up of the noise ? With my calculations it will be probably 6months till i get a toda exhaust ( unless i can source out a cheap decent 2nd hand one). Just curious to see how the sound will be with the RBC / Toda mani / Toda...

After having owning the Spoon exhaust for couple years now i personally think its time to change for a sublte exhaust :-D . My overal aim is getting the 240+bhp so im kinda leaning towards the idea of the Toda exhaust / mani setup and the RBC, then maybe possible Cams if needed. heres some...

think i leave it until i get the RBC and toda exhaust. Just collected a mint Toda mani....... So nice :cool:

cheers stu , just thinking its going to be atleast another 6 months or so till i save up for the RBC / Toda exhaust. So was tempted of installing the mani and just leave the K100 unmapped. Will that be ok ?

currently have the full spoons Exhaust system / Gruppe M / K100 . Looking to go the full toda. Just about to collect a Toda manifold but would need to save my pennies to get the RBC and Toda exhaust. Question is whether i should leave the Toda manifold aside and wait for the other two to arrive...

didnt know the buddyclub doesnt require the mounts, how about ETD ? is it alot louder ?

I know the basics of avoiding any damages to the manifold are have energy suspension mounts and ETD fitted. But With those two fitted theres still a chance of damaging the bugger. Either the flexi / the joint will recieve a hairline crack. My main concern is IF i do fork out for a TODA mani...

just a little launch video on private road. Ignore the little giggle from my friend at the start of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyUuKuv7FHo Got Gold Skunk LCA and Fogs to be fitted just to finish off the exterior look just some randoms shots of the car

i used the existing rubber hose to feed cold air into the airbox. It was only 1 inches short but it was facing towards the directions of the airbox hole (if u know what i mean) At the time i bought it second hand for £200, not bad if your on a budget. I had it mapped with a k100 ecu and notice...

some people use tape to secure it, but when i had mine i left it exposed. didnt effect any performance or heat soak.

there shouldnt be anything missing. Just use your existing OEM hose and plug into the mugen box

TDi down in thurrock are pretty good. They do fast road setup. Top people, Speak to Sam !

just had the tein s tech fitted and just starting to notice theres a little noise coming from the front left wheel area (when i turn full left hand lock). Begin to worry whether my racks needs replacing or not. Apart from the obvious noise, what should i look out for IF it does needs replacing...

will do mate ;)

Ok so its been a couple of weeks from my last mods. As mention on the previous threads i had problems re-alligning the CF bonnet, so i took it to honda and 'hey presto' that manage to sort it out ( By removing the front bumper and fiddling around with it ). It now sits alot better, wheres...

*UPDATE* fitted some Tein S tech Springs , groved vented disk today. Only done a 2minute test drive, but really really impressed with the handling. No bodyroll so far, and not too bad over humps and bumps. Will get pictures up later on

nice car , but thought you were going for a 5 door instead of a three door ?

£200 for fitting springs ? personally thats not bad price, £50 per corner seems right. But Ash Honda wanted £100 per corner ... maybe im a tight little git :lol:

took mine to the local garage and they had no problems. The only problem for me now is getting my tein s tech fitted. Friggin Honda wanted 400 squids to have them fitted. :rolleyes:

cheers guys, just seems alot for two small links :D

My cousin took his ep3 to tdi to have a Rear JDM ARB fitted. They mention they cannot fit the ARB because they were wary that the drop link may need replacing. They asked us to buy some new drop links from honda, but when quoted from honda they asked for £92 for them. :scratch: Is that right ?
