So abit of background of my cars, my first taste of VTEC was my old GT FN2 which I sold in fear of the imminent depreciation with the new Type R coming this year! Really was a great car too... apart from the rattles!

Next came my Audi A3 1.8 TFSI Black Edition, which as a car was great! Great engine and full of toys including a factory BOSE sound system, but it was always felt lacking in something...

This came up and I knew it was the one so I promptly sold the Audi. 55 Plate completely standard Premier with only 55k miles and a FHSH! absolutely mint 8)


Now that I have had both the FN2 and EP3, I have made some conclusions. The FN2 is a great all rounder with all the creature comforts but the EP3 is just such a better drivers car, the weight difference really makes a difference as you can feel the EP3 just wants to go. Both cars are great in their own respects though!
 
Just a quick update of my new Enkei SC37 alloys :)

Over the moon with them, think they suit the car pretty well! Haven't seen another civic with them yet either which is a bonus :)
 
thanks :) I didnt expect it to turn out as good as it did! actually bought these alloys 6 months before I even got the car! haha

anyways finally got some spare time so here is a small update of a few things I tided up on the car:
- New Battery Tie

- Got rid of the dull cloudy headlight effect due to old age with some 3M Headlight Restoration Kit. Highly recommend this product!

The photo of the headlights don't really do it much justice, they basically look brand new again in real life!
 
Your EP3 looks great Akingcool - wheels really suits the look ! How easy is it to restore the headlights ?
Mine seems to have some film pealing off on the inside, not sure if the 3M will fix it.....
I own a cosmic EP3 2004 , which I've had for about 4 years 74k on clock and full black leather suite.
 
thanks guys :) took around 1.5 hrs per headlight but it was worth it! might take less time if you aren't such a perfectionist! :lol: It was pretty easy to do but to answer your question EP3DK it will not restore the inside of your headlight and its basically a kit to allow you to sand back and polish the headlight units.


Here are a few more things I got around to sorting on my car ;)

Bought these from Rigsby01 from over the CTRO forum, Before:

Also cleaned up my exhaust tips, Wirewool + Autosol does wonders:

Cleans up nicely for a 10 year old car!
 
Clean example there! Mines a similar age and mileage! Also need to deal with my headlights! haha!
