EP3 Flashy's CG EP3 premier

[Krzys]

Weird, I'd have thought there was only pre facelift and facelift to choose from?

Does the 5 door have different mirrors too maybe?

 

[Flashy]

Here's the difference, oem is on the left. Also a pic of the "wrong mirror", looks right apart from the fitment.

Also, the cosmic grey only came in after the facelift. Mirror mounted indicators too.

Does the 5 door have different mirrors too maybe?

Suppose it could have a slightly different shaped door?

 

[Flashy]

These arrived today, weather depending I'll be doing the valve clearance this weekend

 

[Flashy]

Valve clearance done, car seems happy with it

 

[Flashy]

Put the pre face-lift lights on

 

[Flashy]

Over torqued one of the rocker cover nuts after doing the valve clearance. Got a replacement cylinder head bolt ordered along with some fresh rocker cover nuts.

 

[Flashy]

Got a replacement grill as mine was broken in the top corner. This one is minus the type r badge but has a much fresher H logo than mine. Stealthy

 

[SK-R]

Is the grille black on Cosmic originally? Mine is gunmetal metallic type, I was looking to change it for new as some tabs are broken and it split in 1 corner but £200+ VAT from Honda without badges can go F themselves ;d So will be repairing it this weekend.

I like the no Type R badge look though, might give it a go myself.

 

[Flashy]

I think the grill mesh is the same but the edge is more of a metallic grey. Not much different.

 

[Flashy]

Picking a replacement bonnet up this weekend, mine has a small dent and numerous deepish scratches (looks like something has been dragged across it).

Mods, is there any chance this thread can be moved to members cars? Being a div I posted in this section when I first joined

Been to Brizzle tonight. They had some wing mirrors too

All in great condition

 

[Flashy]

Well chuffed with the bonnet, mirrors to go on later.

 

[Flashy]

Considering a custom catback 2.5", been quoted £370 all in.

Changed the oil and filter today, put a hamp filter on with some 5w40 Shell Helix Ultra. Used my new Pela 6000 oil extractor, works really well. Car pulls much better now. Got some stoptech front pads in the Tegiwa sale.

 

[Hazz]

I’ve got the same oil extraction pump. Belter bit of kit, wouldn’t be without one now. Oil changes are a doddle!

 

[Flashy]

Yep, I'll probably change the oil every 3000 and alternate the filter change

 

[RobH]

I was looking at these the other day.

Is their much time actually saved? as presumably you have to Jack the car up anyway to change the filter?

Have you found it extracts all the oil? As I figured it d probably leave a fair few 100mls inside?
