Hello folks,
Recently bought my milano red ep3 30th anniversary edition about 4 weeks ago. Needs a good few things but generally is a decent enough straight base to start from. Had a couple of B16a CRX's a good while ago, but was surprised just how much more grunt the K20A has compared to those. Probably one of the 'elder' members to join around here no doubt at 45 :smt064 I went through the 'turbo years', GT Turbo's, Cosworths, Scooby's etc running silly boost.:evil:
I got the car mainly as a commute second car as the mrs changed her job too far away for one car - so good excuse I thought!
It's already just been up to Stevie at Grinspeed (after reading here) for a new genuine Honda clutch kit including spigot bush + a new rare 4KG lightweight Kaiten flywheel. Huge improvement, gearbox is slick, no crunches at all. Flywheel made a huge difference being a pre facelift ep3.
Here's a quick picture on day I brought it home, will get some other snaps up as it progresses.

Only bother I've had was yesterday the EML came on - turns out my obdii reader says it's the front o2 sensor, so ordered one to fit myself.
Hoping to get a FRSU done at Grinspeed soon as the car already has Tein lowering springs on it, -30mm I think.
Current spec as it arrived;
Black vinyl roof.
Black oem alloys.
K&N Typhoon.
Tein 30mm lowering springs.
Piper cat back stainless system with oval tail.
Added;
New clutch oem honda.
Kaiten 4kg Flywheel.
Red suede gear gaiter.
Buddy-club Racing Spec Quick Shift.
New gearknob.
New front & rear type-r badges + civic badge from honda (were missing).
Currently repainting dash console etc & fitting new stereo.
Some stickers in pic removed already.
Needs a damn good clean inside!
More to follow soon.
Cheers for now.
Neil.
