So glad I renewed with you, the only way to do so is to ring up using your premium rate 0844 number, which is 45p a minute and it took 48minutes to go through the whole process. So for anyone interested, instead of making the mistake I did by calling their number 0844 381 6512 and have it...

***long post warning*** I have finally bit bullet and bought a new car! I've known this car since it was brand new, and I was the reason the guy actually bought it. Fast forward 7 and a bit years and I convinced him to buy another brand new S3 :lol: I know that he doesn't like faffing around...

I noticed this when Lottie posted a photo and just now, does the forum not host images anymore? Rather than a picture it's just a link?

I find the text disappearing when I go to edit a post. That is all.

I have noticed that a fair few members that have and are doing things for charity, it's not many but over time I'm sure this will grow. Sometimes people have asked other members to sponsor their friends and family doing all sorts of things to raise money. So I wondered if there could be a...

Alright peeps Basically my little sister (FO with the pics request because it will never happen) has just passed her driving test and has bought her first car. Well I want to get her a HU to play the amp and sub I have donated to her. BUT I want the HU to have Bluetooth so she is able to talk...

Not long after buying my Civic, I parked it on my sloped driveway but didn't leave it in gear (not realising how crap the handbrake is) and the car slowly rolled down my driveway onto my back gates over the course of the night. The bolt that goes into the ground pierced a perfect circle into...

It has been taken from me........why does Griffin still have his? Not trying to grass him up or anything.

Good afternoon peeps. Weren't really sure where to post this, but I am going for an orange theme with my Civic and I quite like the Mugen orange of my 10bhp socks. Is there any car out there with a very similar colour? The only reason I ask is because I want to paint my RARB in the same...

I'm after buying some of the above but I have spotted this http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/collinite-476s-carlack-kit/prod_408.html is it really worth paying the extra for this carlack thing? Surely my clay would do a similar job? I would probably go: 2BM, clay, AG SRP, AG...

Quick question, how much of a PITA would it be to fit Scooby calipers and disks? Cheers

Good evening all. I had my A/C topped up a couple weeks back as it was empty, once done it was pretty cool but I wasn't convinced it was cold enough. Unfortunately cold weather set in the day after for a few days, I was paranoid the A/C wasnt working. Eventually the warm weather set in and A/C...

Driving home I was coming down a country road that had heavy flowing water down one side (due to the rain) which I had to basically stay in because the road was narrow. I heard this horrible noise so immediately turned into someone's driveway :lol: I jumped out the car expecting to see my wheel...

Between AG Odour Eliminator and AG Autofresh (name may have changed names)? Links if interested. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_377923_langId_-1_categoryId_165651...

Good afternoon TRO. How much would it cost for me to put a third brake light in the tailgate from a Sport? (not sure if the lower models have them too) Also I assume it would require the trim panels too? I would go to the local scrappy but there isn't any near me that keep Civics. Cheers people.

Good evening TRO I'm after an orange silicone induction hose for my EP3, the only place I can find one is the SFS website. I wondered if anyone knew of any other manufacturer that makes them? Samco/Venair/Egay dont seem to be helping as they only offer blue/black/possibly red. I have also...

A few posts have been put on here about detailing, so I think it's only right to post a link to a detail of a 1997 Diablo. I loved these cars when I was younger, typical poster on the wall of this beast flying along or parked up with the doors open. The amount of muck and tar that comes off this...

I've noticed this a few times now, I've got back to my office and my rear tyres smell like I have been doing burnouts. I work near the country so the roads are twisty and generally fun to hoot around on, but the tyres stink! I sniffed the fronts and they are fine, no smell at all. I've had new...

Noticed this little beauty on DW http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=171489 I have told him to join up here :lol: I think it's very nice, not seen one in CW yet but I'm won over by it. I will remove the images if I'm not allowed to nab them from the owners photobucket.

Good morning people. CPL racing list a PRC inlet manifold which seems to be a bit cheaper than the RBC. Is it an alternative to it (like the typhoon is to the AEM short ram) or completely different? I done a search and couldn't seem to find anything and I didn't want to email CPL as they may...

Good morning TRO I haven't ever noticed this before so I dont know if it's normal or not (plus it dont help that this is my first car with A/C) but when I turned it on yesterday I heard what sounded like a gas leak sound coming from the dash area. Under the bonnet all the pipes seem fine...

Good Morning TRO I have only really noticed this today, but the rubber above my windshield doesnt sit flush with the roof and is rather loose. After all the rain it seems to be catching all the water, is there any way to replace this? It has had a new screen before I purchased so I dont think...

Good morning mods I have noticed a few posts, pretty sure I was guilty of it, of people asking how much power is gained by GM, ARC etc. I wondered if there could be a sticky made up of peoples graphs from Dyno's to give everyone an idea of gains...

Hi TRO I'm aiming this thread at people who know a bit about Karcher pressure washers. A little while back I created a thread about a jet washer but got side tracked. But recently I sustained a slight injury to my shin from my gf's slippy patio :lol: so I will be buying one very soon. Ok...

Good afternoon TRO I havent long fitted a Piper Cat back to my car. When fitting my mate used some sort of sealant creamy looking stuff when he put it all together. Some of this stuff got onto my tail pipe, I never wiped it off but it has now caused a bit of surface rust and I cant seem to...

I've seen a few pictures posted on here a couple times with the construction of certain parts of the car such as heater matrix etc laid out like a Haynes manual. Is there a downloadable manual like this for the CTR or is it a matter of googling the areas I need? Cheers

Good morning TRO Just a quick one really, I bought a piper cat back last night. Just wondered what the size of the three bolts are that attach it to the cat? Thanks for your help.

Has anyone used this company before? I have never heard of them, I thought they were part of Adrian Flux but they aren't. Rung up and I don't think it's a very big company. Bit worried as they came in at like £600 cheaper than any other company

Now I know the EP3 isn't the best for not having creaks and knocking from the cabin but this has now recently started to make a creaking noise on any road that isn't completely flat. It stops when I put my hand on it, but obviously this isn't the solution whilst I'm driving :lol: I'm a bit...

Hi TRO. Need some advice on some decent insurance companies really. I'm currently with Elephant but don't really like them and am after changing companies, Admiral seem to be coming up trumps alot atm, but I'm also after one that will eventually cover some mods when I fit them, so that rules...

Weren't really sure where to post this. Basically my car has allways been serviced by Honda, but just before I bought it the owners serviced it at a local garage. It does have FSH but I don't know whether to go back to Honda or to just get my local garage to service it as they are £100 cheaper...

Hi again people I know the CTR engine has a whiney/sort of electric sounding engine as standard, but mine has appeared to have been progressively getting louder since I have owned it. It is due it's first major service soon, but due to money prolems I have changed the oil recently to keep it...

Not entirely sure if this is in the right section or not, but after putting my blowers on this morning to clear my windscreen I noticed a damp smell coming from them (when on hot and cold) and the same goes for when the air con is on. Everything is working fine and they are getting to the right...

Hi people, I found this whilst I was searching for some local Maccy D's as my and some friends are going on a road trip tomorrow. Just thought I would share as I'm going to find this very useful for finding breakfast. http://www.go2poi.com/partner/mcdonalds.php?c=en Enjoy

Hi people Earlier today I noticed my clutch felt like it was creaking and when I opened my window and pushed it down it actually sounded like a creaking door. I tried having it at low revs then building progressively, I tried spirited driving and it feels fine no slipping or anything like that...

Hi people Just wondered if anyone could recommend a place where they you can get square number plates made up, but with the Japanese flag and a red border around the plate? Also I'm not entirely sure of the legalities of having this flag, would I get tugged by the fuzz (no pun intended) for...

rung up my local stealership to see how much a full service was and what was included in it and the woman on the phone said about a transmission fluid change...i thought transmission fluid was in automatics? as they wouldnt need to change the gearbox oil as its sealed up and they very rarely...

Hi there people I'm sure a few of you have spoke to me on other threads but I thought I would introduce myself properly as I have failed to do so, so far. And wanted to start a little thread on my CTRs progress. My names Martin, I live in the Kent area and I am the proudish owner of a...

Please help im desparate. i have a 52 plate civic with the h&r alarm. since i have bought it the alarm has never been right, it doesnt respond to the fob, so i bought new batteries and that never seemed to cure the problem. well earlier at work two of my technicians come back to the office...

Good morning people After my car before my CTR, I'm paranoid about about my clutch and gearbox (last car went through 4 gearboxes and 2 clutches in 2 years) now it feels like my gears are clunky and theres a bit of resistance going into first and second at low speed, and when theres vtec...

Hi peeps After much thought I have decided that when funds allow I'm going to buy the piper system. After that I think i will get the manifold and sports cat. After looking at my standard manifold yesterday it actually looks pretty big, the pipes look bigger than the piper system. would the...

looking at getting an EP3 very soon. just wondered what order i should get my mods, i want to do exhaust (manifold back), wheels, induction and suspension. also its a bit of a grey area when it comes to jap cars as im leaving the ford scene. B pipes, headers, spoon n1's....it's very confusing...

Anyone recommend either of them? i had green stuff pads on my last car but apparently you need red stuff over 200bhp and them need to be warmed up or something. can anyone help?

I know that the CTR sits perfectly on its standard wheels but i do want to change them at some stage just to stand out, and just wondered if anyone had any pics of one with the compomotive alloys? cheers

i found this and thought it looked quite resonable, especially as a starter in the world of modding https://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogue.php?make=HONDA&model=CIVIC&year=2001%2B+EP3+CIVIC+TYPE+R&level1=xx+TUNING+PACKAGES+xx&level2=STAGE+1&level3=&id_product=4234
