So this is my second EP3, only had it a week but absolutely love it already. Needs a bit of tlc but it will certainly get that now. Couldnt decide between the cosmic gray or the satin silver but this one appeared 30 miles for me, went to see it and knew it was the one. 2 previous owners, Full Honda history, 60k miles. Completely standard which is what i wanted, had too many problems with already modded cars in the past so going to start from scratch and do it all myself, that way i know its been properly and expense spared. There was a few things that it needed money spent on so i managed to get a good bit of his asking price which i was happy with. MOT had 3 advisories, one of the front tyres were right on the limit (will replace both fronts, annoys me when people just change 1), needs 2 new front suspension bushes, wheels badly need refurbed, small dent above the rear arch and could do with new discs and pads all round. Also i think the accelerator cable could do with adjusting/tightening and its a bit jumpy when the foots down and when i let off. (hoping thats all it is)
Previous owner was a joiner and had his own van, car only got used now and again for nipping about the town and at weekends, hence why he had only done 9k miles in the 3 years he owned it. Longest iv ever kept a car is 2 years so im hoping i can keep this for much longer than that. Got a few subtle mods planned but nothing too over the top. Once i get the car back to the condition it should be the mods will begin.
Anyway enough chat, heres some pictures of my previous cars and the new Ep3
Corsa VXR Arctic Edition, sorry for crap photo quality
Leon Cupra R
Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition, absolutely loved this thing, but monies meant it had to go. gutted
And now the new Type R, this was it the day i picked it up.
You can see the small dent i mentioned earlier, above the rear arch. No paint damage so should be able to get repaired easy enough i hope.
Wheels badly need refurbed, i think they may have been sprayed before they dont quite look the original silver..
The head unit it came with was a bit ragged, broken round the edges and the screen didnt work so that was the first thing to come out.

Thats all for now but will keep this updated with all my TLC work and when i start the mods, enjoy!
