Afternoon all,
I'm not new to the forum but haven't posted in a while, even when I had my last Type-R I didn't post much to be honest.
Anyway, after owning a DC2 for a year I sold that and owned a Z4 35i for 4 months. Lots of power and torque (300bhp and 295lb-ft) thanks to the two turbos, but that didn't make up for the lack of fun and excitement it sincerely lacked (and the 450kg over the Teg it carried) . So after deciding to move back towards the light, I looked at a couple of cars last weekend and managed to purchase my first EP3 and get back into a Type-R As the title says, it's a Cosmic Grey Premier Edition, with the following spec;
-2006
-87k miles
-FSH (half Honda, half Independent)
-2 Previous Owners
-Big service 12 months ago (oil & filter, Discs & pads, Belt & tensioner)
-12 months MOT
-Unknown Axleback exhaust
-Leather gear knob gaiter
-Pioneer Headunit
-6000/8000k HID's (unsure as to which, but they're pretty blue)
-LED Sidelights and rear plate lights
I'm really happy with it. Gave it a good clean & wax this morning before going out to get some pictures. Both the interior and exterior are pretty mint! The recaro's almost look untouched, as does most of the interior. There's a couple of marks on the rear bumper and boot but nothing major. It has slight rust on the rear arches but it certainly looks like just surface rust as it's only on the 1mm thick part of the arch and looks nowhere near as sinister as my old DC2's arches did (thank god).
I'll be looking to upgrade the suspension and brake setup over the coming years, as well as sort out the standard I/M/E breathing mods, then take to the track and see what I can do with it
Comments are welcome (good or bad)!
