Looks nice mate I miss my Ctr when ever I see a good looking example

I would source some ukdm mats and sell jdm separately, I got just over £115 posted for mine, in terms of value I got £5k for mine on 05 with 52k from a dealer as a trade in. However there doesn't seem to be many in the Market for performance cars with high petrol prices and being so close to...

Milanochris is selling a mint ep3 I think it's a pre face lift but has had facelift lights fitted, if you don't have a very big budget then you need to make sure you find one that has been well looked after

Hi, sorry not regarding a type r, but wondered if you could recommend what oil will be ok for BMW 330ci just to keep as a top up Thanks

Looks nice mate, love silver ctrs fastest colour!

The mugen type r had 237 bhp the mugen 200 had LSD and cosmetic changes but engine unchanged at 198 bhp

Looks good mate, I think the new interior suits it! Still really enjoying mine, looks great in satin! Not too sure about the badge issue, how was it fixed on before? Paint looks a good job too, though I'm sure colour difference is clearer in person, what a faff the interior swap was, 2 hours max...

Can't see how it could be done as the back is raised it's only a bench in the back

Im 6'3 and I find there is tons of room but only thing I can say is just go try one to get a feel for it. I believe you can lower the seats with different rails to gain extra room

Great sticky! Car developed a rattle at 3k so will be checking this straight away! Do you have to remove it to know if it is this or if my mate revs engine while I look will I be able to see anything before removing?

Try the search function mate theres a few threads on this, off top of my head; seats and door cards, wingmirrors, front bumper, headlights, rear lights, larger Honda badge, lighter flywheel, and fl slightly lower but probably missed a few so have a search

I think the ctr got LSD as standard on a 10 plate+

*right

Very nice mate! Don't particularly like the type r badge on the dash but each to their own! Nice colour I like cosmic ep3s 2nd fastest colour

Totally agree! I'm actually saving for one now!

Sorry, last thing any cleaning tips for cleaning the filter

Cheers pal, so is it just a case of opening casing (presume it's just clips) removing filter and cleaning?

Haha thanks for quick replys guys! I'm sure it's not just in my head (well did until got that convinced I drove everywhere today with no Music) it's just the OEM air filter, I'm sure it was changed last service (jan2011)

Evening ladies and gents! Just a quick question the induction whine in my ep3 is not as loud a s once was is this a sign of a fault or anything?

Nightmare if you bought car thinking it had A/C

Read entire thread and your car build is awesome!

Hi guys Just been reading threads on the s2000 starter button and have decided to give it ago! My question is which is the correct one to buy? Many have said the official Honda one but many replicas look exactly the same on eBay,I want to make sure I buy the right one with everything needed...

Just looked over entire thread and car looks amazing mate

Gains suggest gruppe m or tegiwa copy

Looks great mate! Very jealous!

Hard choice to be made, I was looking at the mps but £400+ for road tax for a Mazda hatch put me off!

Looks good! I keep seriously thinking about getting one of these still quick plus a few luxuries!! Enjoy!

If you mean the ones on eBay which are an unheard of brand? I thought about getting one but if it looks too good to be true it probably is I don't have any experience with them but they seem a bit too cheap to do all they claim to and do it well. Spend a bit more and get a quality piecenof kit...

I would get a aftermarket double din unit with sat nav as then if there is anything else you would like from a head unit you can choose a model to suit your needs i.e. Bluetooth calls and streaming music and/or iPod connectivity check on eBay I got a great jvc unit and its excellent, search on...

Nice looking car mate I really like the leather seats! What exhaust is on it?

Looking good mate!

As above it is all to do with several factors though a major factor seems to be post code and job I'm 22 and paying ~£800 a year fully comp but my insurance quote was noticeably different when I became a qualified teacher from a student

Keep me informed as I want!!!!

Nice looking car mate! Love the leather interior sooo want it for mine if you ever fancy a change send me pm!!!

I had a similar situation when I renewed bell put my insurance up over £100 which annoyed me straight off! Rang up saying I wasn't going to renew as it was ridiculous and they ended up dropping the renewal price by £150!

It's the jvc nx7000 range I'm not any where near my pc so can't upload pics but there's a picture of one with fascia off on google images but if you want pm your number and I'll mms you a couple of pics if you want of the headunit?

Yes the one Iv got the fascia comes off or you can fix it not to

Yes mate and it's awesome saw your other thread and if your thinking of getting one I would 100% recommend getting one or similar!

And mine tilts so I'm sure it will and is iPod compatible so can control select playlist etc from the monitor the sat nav is also excellent!

I have a similar model to the jvc one and it's excellent the unit itself fits in the gap though the surround which hides the gaps either side hangs over but still looks really good I would definatley recommend I think ctr bud has pictures of his pioneer one fitted he helped me massively when I...

Nice car in the best colour! Enjoy!

Really like it mate looks spot on!

I'm really warming to the fn2! I love silver type r's I like the way the red badge stands off them and the type r decal on the skirts! I would agree not to go for the rage wheels they look too big in my opinion and can't really fault the look of the 18"

I have one I got it for my 21st I wanted one with only 5 digits I think they look much better and can't be mistaken for a regular plate!

Bit steep!! I paid much less for 05 plate with 36k!

Looks good mate

Really like that! Looks good mate!

looks smart mate is there any noticable difference in performance?

How much will I be looking at if you know?

Got a small hole in my coolant tank it's above the minimum level so no big risk yet but i'm hoping to replace it asap anyone know of any aftermarket ones if any exist and any prices? Thanks guys!

:smt023:changed all break pads which really needed doing and up to now I have heard no noise so may of cured it thanks again guys!!:smt023:

Getting the brakes done today but showed the video to mechanic on my phone who said that was the noise he heard briefly and said he still thinks its either a gear box bearing or clutch release bearing??

^^ I thought face lift models didnt have indicators on the body?

Really appreciate the help guys! im going to get brakes done and get tyres checked!!

could it be tyre pressure? trying to cross off the things to check!

Ill try that thanks!!

Ahh right Thanks for clearing that up!

I find i only make the noise when on the move not at low speeds i.e. when parking or pulling out!

Thanks dotty but what exactly am i listening for cant really make much out! So just been out again and it would seem that when I apply the brakes the noise stops if that helps?

But i dont understand how it could be my brakes im not applying them! and it doesnt make the noise when applying the brakes in a straight line! I am due them changing though!

No I dont think so Ill double check later though

So you dont think its a gear box bearing or steering rack or clutch bearing?

It does!! Im quite interested to know how the sound compares to people with suspected steering rack problem or clutch release bearing!

do you mean does it happen when i brake? because that would be a no!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-P1poCFwHw So this is the improved vid, Its going round a roundabout and then the noise stops when turning off (turning wheel left) thoughts?

in process of uploading new one to youtube!

This is old one will get new one up!

so just going to try and upload a new improved video which captures the grinds pretty well! Now iv had someone in the carwho has noticed the noise its definatly when turn right but noise is from the left?! Oh and Iv described it as a grind were as she said its a high pitched grind or squelly noise!

ill try just listened to it I can tell but sound quality not brilliant so might try again later with a passenger but we'll see! Still makes noise regardless of clutch being pressed or not, sometimes noise carries on after straightened up but only got to turn wheel to left slightly and it goes so...

Just done one on iphone but not sure how to upload it!

Hi guys Im really stuck, I started hearing a grinding noise in my type r but only when turn right, I took it to the garage and they said they think its the clutch release bearing? I dont no much about cars but I want to make sure I dont pay £500 for something not causing the grinding noise! Iv...

Been Reading other posts and I think the creaking is the steering rack though sods law it grinds all the way home but then soon as the old man gets in to listen not a single noise!!!! I'm worried the garage won't hear it and tell me there's nothing wrong! Will they be able to identify the...

So I didn't have time to video the car this morning but it seemed ok ....untill! I park in a mult story car park so i had to put the window to get entry ticket and never put it up but when I turn right I hear a kind of grinding noise but it sounds like it's from the back!!!? Don't no if it's a...

I'll give it a go and post it up could it be anything to do with the air filter?

Anyone else have any ideas?

I can only Just look under it but were bouts would I be looking exactly? Is it a easy fix?

Yeah oil levels fine dotty

Basically my engine seems to sound louder recently as if the exhaust is blowing but I don't think it's the exhaust plus the vtec doesn't seem to have as strong a kick iv checked the oil levels and that's not it any ideas?

looks good!

All we need is a dyno print out and then we'll know if it's as good as it could be

Any chance u could do before and after with just the tegiwa?? Only messing be good to see!

Only one way to settle this if anyone wants to volunteer to send me their GM and tegiwa I will happily compare! Lol! It will be interesting to see results of both!!

Welcome!! Let me know how you get on with the tegiwa, im interested in it also!!

That would be good an unbiased view! do you know who it was and when they ordered it?

I can see why people would stick with the gruppe but if the tegiwa are as good as they look, and when results begin to appear (if they give similar results) surely then they will become a possible alternative? I would jump at a cheap gruppe m, but part of me still doesnt want to pay over £500...

Was wondering if anyone had tried it or knew if any dyno results were available as if it delivers similar gains it could be a cheap alternative

Anyone know much about these are they any good? I can't find any results on them!

Iv had 2 jvc units and both have been excellent I prefer the look of the jvc one too!

21 wen I got my ep3 I'm 22 now but I'm definatly hooked on vtech!! Insurance is ok I paid 870 (if I remember right)

Still waiting for the trim to arrive, but looking square on at the unit it doesnt seem to sit dead straight, but when i fixed it to the cage the holes lined up? anyone else had this problem?

It should of done mate so emailed who I got the unit off and their sending it over should be here tomoro I just hope it'll cover the gaps enough!! I meant the double din facia costs £40!!

yeah its all secure and screwed in and no movement in the unit! i hope it covers it I had a single din fascia for my sony head unit and the colour match was non existant and £40 :eek:!

[/IMG] [/IMG] So the unit should of come with a trim surround which should arrive tommorrow now! But if this doesnt solve the problem i think i may have to buy a bloody £40 fascia :evil: Ever get the feeling you hadn't bothered! :)

Right been fitting my jvc unit but there are gaps at all sides between it and the centre console but its a double din unit and i thought the type r had space for a double din unit!!! STRESS!

Thanks mate I'll see how I get on when it arrives!!

is it the same guide as replacing the standard unit, but also remove the tray? is there many screws etc and easy to fix the cage in place?

thanks guys ctr_bud your head unit looks sweet, it looks like it sits flush! was it difficult to to fit?

So just bought a JVC sat nav head unit so now I have to ask the question, fascia or no fascia?! I asked this when fitting my aftermarket single din unit! But what are your thoughts oh and any pics would be appreciated! Thanks James

Gorgeous car love the seats suits very well, I wouldn't paint the wheels black though but your call!

ok thanks neily, regarding the units themselves what do you all think of the ones on ebay? are they too good to be true for £250 ish you get sat nav and dvd player with blue tooth!
