Ep3 Type R (first honda)

Picked up the car last saturday , drive home from the garage was a blast apart from an anoying sweeling coming from the rear right wheel
I arrived home and did the usual good look over the car to see if any major things stood out saying ' hold on a min ' , on having a good look with the rear right wheel off i noticed that the pad's were well not even there to be onest they were almost bare metal .
I then started to think what else am i going to find but on the whole the car is a minter apart from the brakes :lol:

So few days later went back to the garage i bought the car from explaing what i was hearing on the rear end , to my amazment the mechanic showed me the pads or metal plates saying thats what was causing the noise mate.
after 2 hours wondering around a small village that the garage was in i soon got my civic back .

Now i stops like a train just how i thought it should ( Happy days )


The car at the moment is mostly stand apart from a itg cone filter

The clio 172 is my younger brothers car

Only plans for the car in the meantime are servicing item's , then moving on too the usual exhaust mod's and breathing.

Great looking car, i would have kicked up a stink about the brake pads mate, could have been dangerous!

I nearly did mate only reason i didnt was to keep things sweet with the guy so he'd fix it properly , just couldn't believe the difference in braking power.
Im on the look out for a AEM cai now aswell as the current set up i have suffers from heatsoak pretty bad.

I've got an Aem open cone in the engine bay on mine and I did have brush with heatsoak but since I've fitted a heat shield it's been fine! Obviously a true cold air like the Aem cai will be superior performance wise! Pain in the ass to fit though!! Any other mods on the list?
