Thanks Eugene, really appreciate that reply....paints me a picture and its a picture I like.....as you say every type R has its own character....you can't really say this type R is the best because they are all good.....I loved my ep3, I love my Dc5 now and I'm sure I'll love the FD2.....firstly...

Hi Luner Tick, thanks for getting back.....I was surprised at the quotes I had back, cheapest quote was £200 cheaper than the Teg.....my mates think Im mad opting for the FD2 over a Evo or Subaru because of price etc.....could get a 500bhp car for half the price of a FD2 but I want the car...

Thanks Allen, much appreciated. I have just joined the FD2 forum and have spent pretty much all night reading through threads......looking forward to the day when I can officially say 'I have a FD2' Can't get over how spacious they are inside

Well the car I wanted to purchase has now been sold so no spin for me tomorrow. Had a phonecall earlier to say it has been sold but nevermind. I'm sure there will be plenty more in the future, keeping my eyes peeled. The link below was the car in question...

Hello everyone, I haven't been on here for a long time but here it goes. I have randomly come across a gorgeous looking CW FD2 and I have fell in love with it, don't get me wrong I still love the Teg but from what I've read from threads on here the FD2 Is a totally different driving experience...

Very nice mate......looks the balls in blue!!!

I was 24 and bought it last year 2011 p.s Some good quotes there......i can't even get under 1k atm..........25yo 7yncb clean licence!

Thanks for all the kind words guys....... loving ownership! It has been just over a year now and still loving every minute of it. A very rare car down my end so i'm normally approached quite a lot by car lovers admiring the "Teg" A real pleasure to own......if anyone is reading this considering...

Nice ep3 and welcome to the forum sir ;)

thanks mate, had a good fiddle with the vss earlier, also a few sensors, as of yet no joy but i will try the above and see if i can find the route

I bought my ITG Maxogen 3 years ago (when I had my CTR) can't fault it at all, I totally agree with Chris, it's a good piece of kit.....and thats not me being biased I really do approve of it. The kit has had many good reviews with healthy gains being shown on the dyno runs, induction noise is...

any idea where that is located Chris? gearbox?

lol I'm such a noob, sorry lads, oil level was in the middle (between min and max) topped her up but cel is still on, speedo dead, had a bit of a fiddle with the VSS sensor earlier but no joy, new one needed i think :(

Hello everyone, went for a spin friday night and the above happend, think the rain was the main factor as to why these problems occured, im thinking it's the VSS? water got in somewhere where it shouldn't have :evil: Anybody know where this is located? any help will be much appreciated, thanks

This happened to me yesterday in my dc5, think the rain/puddles has something to do with it though, firstly my speedo stopped working, reading 0 then eml light came on then vtec would not engage, I have a 5500rpm limiter atm :( not happy, possibly vss, o2 sensor, blown fuse... god knows, will...

tidy, I have had mine just over 2 weeks, I quite like the look of the tow hooks tbh, they have grew on me past couple of months It's not a bad ride on the springs, just by looking I think the back has been dropped approx 15mm front 20-25mm, only thing with them is when you go over bumps you...

yeah know what you mean, that's what I wanted to do (full spoon) but heared the 4-2 spoon mani vibrates and rattles like crazy so put me off tbh but the sound of the full spoon Is pure porn!!! I think I'm going to go for the tegiwa mani, meant to be good. White Dc5 with red recaros, itg maxogen...

brilliant job, sounds like the problem I have dude, I'll do as you say and burn the bast#rd off. Have you thought about a manifold to go with your spoon mate???

Mafmaz your an absolute star mate and I hope your right, I will take my car to work friday, get it on the pit and find the culprit, so before you removed that piece yours would make a noise only when you let off the gas in like 4th 5th 6th gear, (ton plus) like a mad vibrating sound

Glad to hear it mate, love mine however Iv'e developed a vibrating rattle noise, It's not a heatshield type rattle, It sounds more like a metal on plastic, only happens at high revs letting off the gas........ puzzled, Im thinking its the standard mani but It sounds like It's coming from the...

Pikey option adopted ;) Drilled 3 holes and sealed Thanks for the thread everyone

Quick update, I fitted my Spoon N1 and B-pipe today and I can honestly say the sound Is perfect, loud when you give it some and not bad inside the car at all, will get a tad louder when It beds in but I have no problem at all with It..... very very happy and worth every penny. Also had a nice...

Yes mate, I have a ITG maxogen

Tell you what I'm fitting my Spoon B-pipe and N1 saturday ;) I will take a video of it in action and upload it. (hopefully my phone can handle the sound) That's some reassuring news Jermal. Lets see how louder she will get when I mate a Tegiwa manifold to the Spoon :twisted:

funny thing Is 3-4 weeks later his head gasket went :rolleyes:

@ Jord I lol'd at that "souded like there was a storm under my car" brilliant My mongoose cat back done it all the time on my CTR, pain in the rectum, my mates started calling my car a shed :mad: and they have Mg's :confused:

Correct. "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" you rectified that pun :lol:

I can imagine, can't be a good look! I log on to ITR-DC5 constantly and missing something as important as that is shocking!!! Thanks for that anyway

Cheers Chris, I am ashamed to say I did not know that :( thinking about it, Iv'e never seen a DC5 with foglights and now I know why!

Thats the post I was looking for, I have a ITG Maxogen from my previous ep3 type R, now have a DC5 and was contemplating changing the ITG for Tegiwa for the Teg but hearing that Im going to stick with the ITG, cheers Hasnic, Out of curiosity has anyone succesfully made a longer cold air feed...

I think I will be investing in one of these, especially after getting use to my buddyclub short shifter on the ep3

pictures will be on tomorrow definate ;) nefor you will have to wait and see ;)

atm I have a jap sat nav double din which is not working so I have to buy something!! I have no idea about ice, I have used the search button and the Pioneer AVH 3300BT Is a popular choice, I like it but what else do I need to make it work, read that I need a fm antenna and maybe harness...

lol will tomorrow be o.k, I have plans for a celebratory pint or two :)

Day started at 5.30 a.m for me, best part of 4 hours driving to Mike at Torque, what a machine! really really happy, Massive thanks to Mike for being so helpfull, It was a pleasure to hand my hard earned pennies over to him :) pictures below:

loving that Dave!!!! cant wait now ;)

has anybody got one on their ep3 or dc5?? looking to buy one ready for the teg but unsure what size to get, medium, large, extra large??

eyes like a hawk!!!

lol will be the same scenario as me, only dc5 in the town and surrounding area by all accounts! Yeah Iv'e rang Admiral - £1600 (23yo 6ync) but I think sky, flux etc are next on the list £1100 very good quote, Thanks for the good luck..... had a quick browse on the auction this morning but...

Thanks for the good news.... I'm from a small town called Llandovery.... not that far from Carmarthen, Yeah just joined ITR-DC5, seems to be a friendly forum and some good lads on there.....Just like this one :)

oh, thanks for that Jermal, I was not aware of this problem.... so I see paul regarding warranty If something happens or Spoon directly? I will be having the Spoon B-pipe hopefully next week aswell (brand spank obviously) same principal with that is it, weak welds etc then spoon 2-1 decat...

Here we go...Thanks to Paul at Hendy...my recently purchased N1 for my future DC5:

thanks mate, brilliant

I would of thought the dimensions are almost exact but would like to hear it from the horses mouth as they say just to be sure, will save me buying another kit then!!! thanks for the speedy reply mate.

I have tried the search button but could not find anything related. I found out that the exhausts are not the same..... well B-pipe and mani are but not backbox.... apart from that nowt! Oh and yes, hopefully the teg will be taking the place of my current ep3 :D thanks, Buk

I have the 452's on each corner 215 45 17 IIRC.... best tyre by far....... find the potenza's absolute sh@t

hi guys, going to go for it!! current mods are as follows, itg induction kit and mongoose cat back.... thats it! going to get dc mani (decat) then k100 remap, hoping gains will be 15 - 20 bhp so first question is where is the nearest place for me to have this done? and second question...

A video I took last night of my mongoose cat back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpQJ_Dq1tWc I will get some better videos!!!

I suppose they will be badly made, scratch easily etc....... but just thought I would ask ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WHEEL-NUTS-1-5-HONDA-CIVIC-EG-EK-EK9-EM1-EP3-FD-TYPE-R_W0QQitemZ270567518316QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3eff14b06c

yes mate I know what you mean....... put me off when they said "A4" Would have thought they could get a genuine manual!!!!

I tried getting a handbook from my local Honda....... they said "yeah we can get one but it will all be on A4 paper" so I said "leave it" so got a prefacelift and has done the job on many occasions!!!! Are you sure lottie?????

never had a handbook with my facelift so bought the preface book off ebay for £7, just cosmetic differences I think.......

Thanks neily, so it can't really be resolved then, unless the b pipe is lowered or brackets extended?

I think mine is doing this now!!!!!!

Thanks for that earth slug, very good read.... i think you are right....... a grille would make much more sense.

I like this idea with the fog light......but It Is going to be a pain trying to channel the air feed!!! I love my ITG but feel that the supplied air feed is slightly wasted. I am sure it is doing the job but for peace of mind aswell I want more air!!!! Think I need a new grille!!!

Dibs lol, just bought these exact tyres from them, same profile and every thing (x 4). I have heard good reviews. I currently have the cheaper falken tyres on the front and there not bad, better than the standard Bridgestones by a long shot!!! only £250 delivered........ half the price of the...

21 when I bought my cosmic ctr, fully comp £1400. Now Im 22 and fully comp insurance is £800........ prevous cars were fiat punto elx 1.2 elx 16v - fully comp insurance £1800!!! (17) then citroen c2 Vts (19)

have you looked at Mongoose

yeh know what you mean about the wheels.... I must say I have changed my mind again, It will take a good set of wheels to trump the standard wheels If Im honest, and to part with £600 is scary lol. Im liking the second link (5 spoke wheels) look good. Hid's Is a good decision mate.... Was...

I was going to ask the same question but found this useful thread, I was thinking of getting 6x9's for the rear shelf but think I will replace the standard rear speakers with some Vibes

If you have a aftermarket exhaust........ check the exhaust brackets..... Tweats had a knocking of some sort just after he had his catback fitted, later found out it was the exhaust brackets

Im getting these springs!!! Thanks for the pic mate Your car looks awesome!!

Yes mate, quite right........ as long as your aware you have it on you should be o.k..... use common sense and it will be fine. Im fancying the abp (eibach) 30mm springs.... just seen a pic of a cosmic with them fitted and it sits perfect!!! Jd26 IIRC HID's you posh sod!!!! I must say I have...

Fantastic work Mr suits!!

Mongoose cat back 4" inrolled (same as me) £300 delivered....... full stainless steel, good price, looks good and tidy gains.... If your on a budget and would like a decent exhaust this is it!!! Perfect IMO or Supersprint unsilened b pipe (had it on my car before the mongoose) Highly rate...

It sounds as If you have ordered!!!!! Best of luck mate...... give us some pics when there on ;) As for the Bronze mate.......... :smt102 Springs for the time being lol

I sold it as I wanted an Evo. :) A good enough reason for me ;) A real driving machine. My mate imported a gsr in white a year ago....... really nice (needs 6 gears IMO though) I read your thread a few days back....... the guy who bought it totally wrote it off in 10 days IIRC. Shame was a...

Brilliant job. looks the perfect stance!! Eibachs off ebay for me aswell then (with rubber sleaves to eliminate the knocking issues) thanks Dot, been a great help

So 20mm drop on front and 15mm rear??? Why did you leave your JDM go Dot!! Would have broke my heart to part with such a car....

Thanks Dot. Brilliant pics. The c10's really suited your JDM...... Looks mint!!! Was your JDM on standard springs with the c10's in the pic?? Different front discs aswell??

Nobody can say it better than that..... spot on rossy and just to confirm the colour match on the mats is not as good as the JDM's obviously but its a pass In my book... You can't beat the real mccoy but the price is just to much for me :(

Use the search button mate............ there are so many cat backs for the CTR HKS is not a bad exhaust, nice sound, good price, big tail end (4.7" IIRC) but beware of the mild steel b pipe......... If you want it to last longer than a year on british roads you best buy some sort of...

Please tell me you have pics =P~ Can you post some up mate thanks in advance

Have you any pics of the car standard and after mate. cheers

:lol: tell me about it!!!!! :smt017 My mindset has been changed once more........... thinking of eibach springs now 35mm all round drop......... hoping my car doesn't turn into a snow plough though........ then bronze rotas to go with the cosmic.... 17" There is plenty of time to change...

:smt053 lol, you can tell Im Welsh........ the reason why I commented on the thread was because I liked the car and wheels obviously but I also thought with that comment I would now be subscribed to the thread which means It will be easier for me to review the same thread in the near future If...

Nice car mate... When you get the torques get a pic up!!!!!

Im loving that car!!!! P1's are the perfect choice....... very nice

Yes..... your spot on mate, Im on the same wave length!!!! I saw some wheels along those lines.... Rota's again IIRC...... Very nice I then thought "I could get coilovers instead of wheels" so Im researching again ](*,) If you go onto rarerims there is a virtual fitting bay thing on...

lol same as me mate. Im loving the bronze rotas but will it look right :smt102 lot of money to lose if not :(

Look's to me like they are the Boss redline 18" in matt black http://www.alloywheels.com/product.asp?P_ID=2079 but different centre caps

I recieved the mats a few days back and must say that I'm impressed with them so far. Not as nice as the JDM but a fraction of the price........ suits me fine anyway!! Won't be long untill the ebay dude catches on and raises the price of the mats £10 or so

yes mate I have been meaning to ask this for a while but didn't have the "nuts" :p anyone?????

another future buy for me I think!!!

Awesome wheels and nice pic Hatton!!!! Been doing lots of research on these wheels and only just found out they are a replica of the Mugen's!!! noob!!! Could I ask what spec they are so I can order the correct fitment?? Im thinking they are - 5x114 et45 17x7.5 Bronze?? Also, do I need...

:eek: That is stunning!!!

Yes mate, the bronze with blue is very nice but with red calipers will it be as effective............. I love the wheels......... going to bite the bullet I think :twisted:

hey mate. I have just decided that It's time to spoil myself so I've been looking at the range of Rota's aswell If it's the same company (ROTA) and the colour title is the same on the sets of wheels the wheels should be all the same colour imo Are you buying some Rota's or just looking???

Changed my mind........ I have the same question as Sharkaroo..... between the circuit 10s and Torques for me now with red nuts :twisted:

Im liking the white on the cosmic

Yes mate that would be brilliant. Tbh I did buy the AEM first for the car but was put off it by the guys on the forum (hydralock) because the filter sits low your at risk with water entering the filter which gets sucked into the engine then bang! so I purchased the ITG instead as I only heared...

Just bought the ebay mats....... looks like he has sold a few to ep3 owners.

£163 :eek:

Just fitted the Mongoose mate. Happy with my current ITG atm. My mate has the AEM with a Scorpion cat back and his AEM sounds amazing.

Good man!!! Yes mate your right I love mine :D/ well worth the £40

Lol....... I think he was the coalman :twisted:

Cheers fella. Quite happy with the ITG atm. If I was to upgrade It would have to be the GM. I will have to get a decent phone or something to make a good video...... My current phone is terrible :evil:

looks like Im buying then!!!
