Clio 172 would have anything in the twisties - it was legend on the old Evo forum:D I have an EP3 and if Honda offered me a swap to a FN2 then yes I'd say yes. Trade my EP3 in for one and pay the extra hmmmmm. really not sure on that. Still you gotta laugh at how serious evryone over CTRO...

AFAIK EP3 aircon = 1204 KG EP3 non aircon = 1190 KG FN2 Std = 1302 Kg FN2 GT = 1326 Kg GT + Satnav: 1331 Kg

I'm sure the guy who did mine said the guy that started it was called Macsomething or over. Or maybe I dreamt taht :lol: :lol: Yes I agree with Neily, great for free but £300 is a bit much. I mean it's your own car and fuel etc.

Nah I'me sure I last saw one of those in the British Gas Showroom in 1985 :lol:

Check this out :shock: http://civictype-r.co.uk/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=79966

Dealer that supplied car quotes 105-108 if I supply the oil, so swallow the old pride and it's booked in

I had a terrible time with Peugeot

That's the key, was it something you can correct or one of those things? Also I've noticed the CTR on Pots (not sure about other tyres) can be a bit skittish when 1 or 2 wheels are on the white lines, so on a bend this can happen and possibly cause the car to misbehave a little more than you...

Looks a bit pikey to me :lol:

Yes it could be that , it does sound like a spring to me though?

Yes a dealer should know better.

Mine states 'Civic Type-R'

Ok cheers for that Dave Here's the plan I'll get a quote from the dealer that supplied my car, I really didn't want to use them but if they offer me a decent price with me suppling my own oil I'll go with them instead and use the spam charriot route (a courtesy car btw :wink: ) in the week

:cry: ANyone know the kerbweight of the new civics?

From a dealer or Car supermarket? Where on the V5 does it say 'Version Euro 04'

Yes the handbook/Honda say no no so this tow bar could in theory invalidate the warranty and the insurance Same as carrying 5 in the CTR

Well exactly, which is why I'm booked in at a different dealer, however dealer 2 doesn't really fill me with confidence, all being well they wil do the warranty work, but if they have not listed it I will ask to speak to the Sevice manager but they know they have me over a barrel as Honda...

How on earth did you manage that? Sleep with the service manager :lol:

Well yes, the dealer I got the car from is 4ish miles away and the other dealer is about the same. The dealer I got the car from, well they kerbed an alloy and the service manager was really ar5ey about it and his attitude was bizzare to say the least, so I won't pay them anymore money on...

Yes I've got a thread bout dealers on a saturday in the civic section http://type-r-owners.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2688

Yes she was quite offish, the next non related dealer is a whopping 30 miles away, so that's a 60 mile round trip :shock:

I've asked the dealer to look at this on it's service in a couple of weeks, but their attitude is 'as it's a saturday we might not do any warranty work' wtf!

Have booked my car in for the 1st service middle of October at a whopping 185 quid, anyways as I was booking it in I mentioned that could they undertake some warranty issues 1) 4000 RPM engine cover - the dealership I got the car from have had two attempts to fix it and havenÂ’t 2) Missing...

Yes all Honda dealers are Brindly group by me One quoted 180 and will knock 40 off if I take my own oil in they do use fully synthetic Hellex? brand but it's a fair drive away, solid urban driving right the other side of Birmingham

1st Service £185 Looks like I'm screwed, all the Honda dealerships are the same group by me and it's 185 for the first service, 20 off for supplying my own, I shopped about and if I trvel an extra 10 miles I can get it done for £184 :roll:

My front seat has started to creak, it's the lower part of the seat where the lower part of your back is.

I'll double check that with him, the way he explained as she pulled out and he hit her offside front and she claims that he was following her she made a right turn and he hit her as he overtook the invisible car, so I'm assuming it was at a crossroads, thing is that road has lots of turnoffs...

I think that's the issue she pulled out and he hit the front offside, so she now claims that as she was turning right he still hits her front offside, think about it

My mate had an accident some time ago. Was driving long and a woman pulled out on him at a junction - bang Now she has claimed that she was waiting to turn and he tried to overtake another car and hit her turning right. They both have the same insurance company and they have now said 50/50...

Mines starting to go from the seatbelt rubbing

Nah tell 'em to get a Nova SR :lol:

Would look great on a maxxed up 1.4i :lol:

Cheers, I've only recently put Supermarket stuff in (Tescos or Sainsburys) So the fuel does have the additive in 8)

Ok, is there any evidence to suggest that supermarket fuel is lower quality than garage fuel?

So it's still 97 Ron with 'that special ingredient' who do they think they are Coke-Cola :lol:

A GTi or one of the ones withthe painful seats :?:

Jordan said she would like her Aston in pink on TG :shock:

What ya getting instead?

Isn't that Civic Si coupe running the CTR EP3 engine?

Yes we know that, but I was speculating that the slow sales of CTRs might be because Joe Pub thinks a new CTR will be out this year?

I'm in the Midlands, only mines only done 4.5k but is standard (I can put the aerial back on :lol: ) Let me know if it's of any use

Do the general public think the new CTR is out this year as well?

Ahh so we are on run out stock only, cheers Paul So the end is neigh :wink:

Mine used to rattle at 7500 ish but that seems to have stopped The engine cover resonating sound is at 4000 rpm, they have tried to fix it twice, it's better but not perfect

Does anyone know when the last CTRs will be available? Nov or Dec maybe :?:

You can use your Nectar card at BP for fuel purchases

ooh err :lol:

Fun roads that go nowhere, I love 'em :lol: Shame some of the better roads I've been on in Wales tend to be in the northern area, round Snowden area

Parts of Wales have some lovely roads you jammy git :lol: I think you also have the speed cam chief of police as well, is he in charge of where you live :?:

I think doing 30 on a public road in a Caterham is an experience :lol:

All this power will be fairly redundant in the uk the way things are going, speed cams etc

Perhaps the next gen CTR will be 3 tons and require 2 engines :lol:

The CTR IMO doesn't like being thrown about like the French hot hatches, you need to drive it more, try and hussle it and it can get a bit ragged

still wary in the wet/damp Just keep an eye on the speedo as it's easy to suddlny find yourself going far too fast

The site gives the impression that they sell the car as a job lot? Also perhaps that idiot trying to do the red sport up kept phoning them and twisting their melons, man :lol:

http://www.euroautosalvage.co.uk/salespages/1514.htm driveable :shock: I think it's maybe the wrong car as the header is a ITR

http://www.euroautosalvage.co.uk/salespages/1567.htm From a link on the Type R forum Ps hope that nobber from the 'other' forum doesn't buy it and 'do it up'

Yep it sure does :evil: Sad and then they get into their illegal cars and drive off popped up :evil:

Yes, and we end up having to 'import' workers instead. the folks that are too sick to work, but get hammered every day in the pub yes how does that work. You see them in the local Weatherspoons every morning Funniest is a guy I knew who had a bad foot so he couldn't work but used to play...

Yes, ,makes sense Unisured shed drivers = chance of being on the dole and working. They were all there the dole, customs and the police We need more of this :D Something needs to be done about the petty criminal doley scrounger society that is mushrooming. :evil:

It's shocking how much of this hit and fug off goes on. The large number of illegal cars must not help either. Drive round in a 28pence Fiesta with no licence, tax, mot or insurance and get done sub 400£ if you get caught. :evil: They had a sting by me the other week, they stopped cars...

Yes that electric blue is 8)

Did they replace the door as well or just pull it out?

Stupid question, have you checked it's not something in the glove box

Welcome to the world of i-Vtec 'I'm just popping to the shops' turns into a crusade and you cover many miles instead

Take it back the paintwork is covered for 3 years iirc, and 6 years if it corrodes from within? from the Honda site ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surface Corrosion Warranty 3 Years Honda warrants that the Honda car specified on your Warranty...

:D Happy i-Vtec all over again :D

Cheers, I bet some do just rag their cars from cold?

Watching some trackday stuff on telly the other day, I noticed at the 'ring they seemed to just get in the car and rev off, do they not get chance to warm them up 1st?

I bet you wake up with the shakes in the night dreaming bout the CTR, bet you can't w8
