That's really nice mate.

looks good on the red wheels, some really nice choice modifications there aswell.

 

[Jack1991]

Thats well nice mate, the wheels are spot on! Love it that youve took the 'type r' stickers off the sideskirts too thats something ive wanted to do for a while but havent seen any ep3's with that done, looks 10x better in my opinion. Not a fan of the diffuser good choice selling that hahaa.

Looks wise this is my fave NHB ep3 ive seen!

I also really like the clean look of no type r stickers on the skirts, but I just can bring myself to take them off

Haha yeh im exactly the same. Any idea if you can buy the exact same stickers to put back on if you dont like em off?

 

[jimbodeeni]

Mook (see traders) on here can make them for you, or you buy them from Honda or other places online

That's looks gleaming! You have spent loads on modding it! What products do you use on cleaning it?

 

[RichE91]

Feel I'm nowgoing to have to add jelly bean air-freshener to my mid list haha. car looks cracking man.

 

[Molesyy]

Haha, well I spent a full day machine polishing it as the paint was a bit sorry for itself. I use products from a copy my mate owns in Birmingham called OCD Finish, wicked stuff and I highly rate it! Cheers, splitter has gone and exhaust has gone. I'm on the look out for a new one.

Gave it a full service and bought some standard Type R wheels for a track day this Sunday at Blyton Park, should be fun, need to find time to loose the camber at the back before we go aha!

What at else can I do to it lads?

 

[Molesyy]

Haven't really updated anything but done some more mods:

- Removed all wrapped parts and changed for Carbon including centre console, door handles, spoiler blade, added the dial surround too.
- Tegiwa Battery bar
- Changed all nuts/bolts to stainless and black tegiwa washers
- New battery, full service
- Rocker refurbish

Bought Skunk2 LCA, ASR brace, Beaks Tie Bar silenced b pipe and JDM anti rollbar.

Im now on the lookout for RBC, 421 and K100/KPro.

Anyone in west midlands fancy photo shoot soon?
