Has anyone seen the fifth gear review on this with Plato vs the S2000 GT, car sounds wonderful

Fantastic looking car and an awesome spec list.

classic example of a lovely looking ep3. Many future plans for this?

Just read up on this on civinfo, how do I go about having my valve clearances checked? Do I need to take that to Honda for a service?

Hi guys, Just coming up 45,000 miles now in the FN2 and wondered what sort of milage to have the cambelt changed? Was thinking around the 60,000 mile mark. Can anyone recommend a place to have it changed? I don't want any old back street to do it for me. I was thinking of taking a trip to Tdi...

Gorgeous car mate, looks excellent, nice spec list and mods too.

Love this thread and love this car, some good work and effort gone in to the build

awesome looking Car Todd

Looking good Lee, GP pack looks lovely on Milano.

Thanks for the comments guys, colour of the wheels is just a graphite, not entirely sure on the paint code.

582 stop / tail light 5w 21w £1.50 :) cheers

Hi guys pulled home on the drive way tonight and I noticed a have a bulb or two out. Anyone know which type of bulb is required and the cheapest / best place to get one? cheers Mike

John, some one said something about a stud kit for those nuts?! Do you have a link for anywhere I can source some washers?

Wheels were powder coated by a pro and no I didn't do them myself lol.

Hi mate mine is actually Deep Pearl Bronze.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted on here. Finally gave the R some tlc and got round to having the wheels refurbed. Chuffed with the results. Next on the list is tints and I must get round to fitting the carbon wrapped mugen brake scoops. Later in the year I'll be purchasing the full...

Nice little upgrades, just saving for a wheel refurb for mine, however the HKS RSK is definitely next on the list, I need that noise in my life

Deep Pearl Bronze, nice colour choice dude, looks like a carbon copy of mine. Nice collection of cars you've had too.

Ill get some later on when I'm home.

Welcome fellow FN2 owner. Gorgeous car, shame its Milano ;). Just kidding mate enjoy the car and indeed the forum :).

That is a nice drop on those Eibachs. Plus, I'm a massive fan of those purple calipers, cool looking car! Keep up the good work dude.

Cool! I like this! Unique

Good looking EP3 this dude, different to the norm. Keep up the good work!

Red, black or silver would work...

Gorgeous looking EP3 Rich, and welcome to the forum. Look forward to future updates.

I like it, didn't one of the members off this forum own one with a load of mugen parts on it? Sure I saw one in an old banzai magazine.

lovely ep3. it has really come up well with a nice detail.

Brilliant build thread, one of the best I've enjoyed reading for a while. Only just noticed it today and read it cover to cover. Full admiration for the work effort put in :).

baldydave is spot on about the fast road set up, TDI Performance did mine with the 30mm eibach lowering kit and camber bolts. Combined with new potenza tyres and brembo discs / cosworth pads it has transformed the car.

Nice looking GT Deano, Milano is a nice colour when it is clean, do you have a list of future plans for the FN2? You can purchase a TRO decal from the shop, become a member and it opens up a lot more forum options.

Nice Progress thread mate, cars looking cool, keep up the good work and quality mods :)

Cheers dude, about the same tbh mate, NHB you can always see the metal flake easier in any light where as DPB only really shows on a really really bright day.

I must say I definitely preffered NHB to Deep Pearl Bronze of my FN2 I'll find some old pics out of my last car and post them later.

looking good, always liked the pre facelifts, miss my old EP

cheers dude ;)

How much did you sell the evo for if you dont mind? Im really looking at getting a 6, possibly a makkinen edition. Can you give me some advice an tips for what to look for when buying? Any help much appreciated. Cheers

That looks like a mint example of an early Integra, fantastic, looks lovely.

Looking good, looks like a nice set up you have there, brands is such a great track. I have the fast road set up on my FN2 from TDI North, shame Ive wrecked my Potenza's and dont have as much grip as I once did :(.

Cheers John, I dont suppose you mind giving me a rough price for those do you? Per tyre. Cheers

Hi guys, Well its time for a new set of tyres, could possibly get away with only changing 2 (the fronts) But ideally could do with changing all 4. Since owning the car (Purchased June 2012) I have been highly impressed with the 225/40 18" Bridgestone Potenza's. I'm not going to lie, money is a...

Cars starting to come along very nicely. Any future plans?

cheers dude, best colour hey ;)?

Both cars are stunning. I really would like a Tommi Makinen Evo 6.

Lovely looking car Woppy and excellent pictures. Such a nice colour for the DC5. Do you have a spec list?

Got my new brakes fitted this evening, very impressed :), no longer do I have to rely on the k20's 8,000rpm to act as my braking :)

I might do Ed yeah I might go for braided lines

hell of a lot cheaper than the mugen ones, obvious really. I dont need fogs and I'm murder on brakes so they need all the cooloing they can get.

New Parts Ordered: 1. Cosworth Street Master Pads 2. Brembo Brake Discs 3. Tegiwa Brake Scoops ( I already have these, just waiting on them to be carbon wrapped)

Just thought Id post a new pic:<br><br><br><br>

Just thought Id post a new pic:

brake pads/discs?

Hi Sharif, car is looking awesome. Some cool looking mods so far. I love a premier edition. PS I loved your Golf too. Excellent stuff mate

still got to get the HKS Induction and Exhaust, also a wheel colour to choose before Japfest (suggestions welcome?) and some Tegiwa carbon wrapped scoops to fit. Also looking for a Xenon HID Kit. Done some little modifications done over the winter period (pics to follow). Also looking to get the...

Edit* just seen you got a saxo now?

Very well thanks Ed. lots planned for this year and a few updates still to come very soon. Hope you're well Ed and enjoying the Accord?

nice car and welcome to the forum fellow FN2 owner

Type R side decals and Grill badge fitted: Hi guys, inbetween the rain, sun and thunderstorms I managed to get my side decals and grill badge fitted which both arrived this morning, managed to capture a few arty shots... I must admit I wasnt a fan at first but I now think they make a big...

White car is from eBay. Thanks for the kind comments :)

Cheers man! Yeah could you PM me details please Ed?

Very very smart, clean and well looked after ATR!

J's racing oil cap came today along with a decal and my team HEKO wind deflectors. Fitted them all with ease. Can't wait to tiny the rear windows now so they blend in. I also fancy having the manifold cover painted candy red. Can anyone recommend anyone on any forums that professionally paints...

Hey Ed. yeah pen got here safe and sound thanks mate. Mel transferred you some money for postage into your bank account. Really enjoying every minute of the CTR mate. I aim to have it fully complete by next summer for all of the shows. Your ATR is looking sweet, hope you're enjoying it mate. All...

Yep the black was done with a brush about 1" thick. The detailing (writing if you will) was all done with a selection of fine artist brushes. Thanks for the kind comments. I plan to mod this car tastefully and to a professional standard. Lots more to come, enjoying every minute of it and can't...

There you go Type R Fan... I hope John has answered your question. A quick little update: Decided to paint my calipers, so popped to halfords, bought some hammerite paints (black,white,red) and some brushes, paint thinners etc and set to work. also started to do some cleaning and detailing...

cheers Gaz.

Cheers Aaron!

Trying to Ed :)

Just a little update of some bits I've been on with...

Congrats Ed. Nice to see you back in a Type R. Will hopefully catch up with you in the near future at some meets. Whats the bhp on these as standard?

I have Ed yes, been enjoying the engine noise more though ;). Any luck with the Accord yet mate?

Also fitted some bright white LED side lights and number plate lights. Will post pic when it's dark, can't wait to get HIDs now.

To be honest the old ones aren't that bad, it's just me been fussy. When I steam cleaned them and used interior foam they came up well. I suppose I could sell. Haven't decided yet I may use them as spares.

Dont mean to sound like a dumb ass, as I havent ever had the spark plug cover off, but does the carbon fibre one slot on top of the existing silver one? Or do you remove the silver existing cover all together? Thanks.

Ok thanks John for all the advice, got me worried now as I started to slacken one off and then dogged it up with the ratchet again, hope I didnt do it too tight?

Well guys despite the bad weather today I still managed to fit all my mods apart from the carbon fibre plug cover which looks a little tricky? Looking like the scuttle panel may have to be removed on the FN2 is this correct? Ill let the pictures do the talking. New Gaiter fitted...

Aii cheers dude :)

Funnily enough John I used your How-to-guide that you reposted, even using the guide its still quite tricky and only makes sense when you do it yourself, however there was still a degree of swearing and I dont do patience haha. Managed to get it on ok though despite getting a good soaking from...

Thanks man, any issues and I might get back to you.

very good write up for an awesome car. Loving your choice of mods and work!

Ok well, quick update guys. Had a few goodies arrive this morning... Got round to fitting the gear gaiter but I got soaked in the process what with me dashing between the car and the garage to get tools etc. Unfortunately the weather seems to be persistent therefore I will not be fitting my...

Looks very nice mate. I love a tidy premier!

Hi guys, first off I did do a quick search on here but didnt find anything to answer my questions. Picked up my FN2 on Thursday 31st May. Just wondrered which makes of Oil you use for your FN2's and how often do you check it, do they use a lot? Thanks for any help/advice. Mike

lovely looking DC2 mate, nice spec list too.

great looking car, very nice.

Try searching in google for lings Honda Original Parts. Type in your Reg plate and search for the relevant parts. You can either buy online or take the part number to a dealer and buy/order them in your local dealership parts department. Hope you find some.

well guys I am on standby for work today so rather than be bored I got stuck in with some elbow grease and really gave the engine bay a good clean. o be fair it wasnt bad before I started but I got some autosol on the aircon pipes etc and it looks like brand new almost under there now. Also...

Hmm Im in 2 minds really, the grease option sounds like it might be worth a try, it certainly cant do it any harm.

Hi guys, whats the fix for this and what needs replacing? Its the pedal pivot, nothing wrong with the clutch itself, but how do I stop this squeeking, WD40 seems to be a temporary fix but what will solve my problem for good? Any info greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

Looks really nice there Ed. I must get round to detailing it, knowing my luck it will rain though :(

I hope I can put this how to guide to good use when I purchase the kit from the link you sent me. Thanks again John. Mike

Damn that's a shame, Rye East Sussex would have been a lot more convenient for me. Still, Northampton isn't too far I guess. I would love to meet a few people off here down there and get a few bits done to my car.

Nice looking motor Nick. My old EP2 was NHB. Was a great colour when clean!!!

Ed said something about her being there for another week to ten days?...

I never got her email mate. Or should I just email sumo power?

Thanks Nick! Yeah the majority of the car is in good condition. In need of a good detail and the mods planned. Overall very happy :).

Yeah it will be fun sourcing parts and I look forward to a few trips to sumo power and TDi.

Thanks guys, yep I will be looking after it and as mentioned is the future plans listed above.

cheers guys :)

very nice! I still love a premier EP3!
