hello and welcome to my new thread,
after leaving the ep3 world I sadly miss it, so now I have just purchased myself to me, the daddy of them all (minus the fact its not 30th anni)
anyhoo, this is my first thread and first ep3 build.
http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?84419-my-satin-ep3!
since leaving I went for a Punto hgt.
fairly nice car had a few modifications handled pretty good
then popped up a golf I couldn't refuse.
1.8t 20v audi 180 engine
many many modifications stupidly fast
will be missed but its come to the time I need another ep3
when I first looked at a civic type r I really wanted the facelift cosmic grey but couldn't afford one, so picked the best I could afford
so when I thought about another car it had to be the cosmic ep3
i found what i thought was the perfect one, sorted everything out money wise left deposit on it.
the rac inspection came back with a few bits that needed doing so they booked it in and had the work done, after the garage had finished they parked it round the corner ready to be valleted friday morning then returned to the garage for me to collect saturday.
i got a phone call friday afternoon.....your civics been written off!! a biffa lorry reversed into it squashing it against a wall side on.
after alot of looking i managed to find another one, a premier model low mileage 2006 plate.
go down first thing saturday to view the car after being on the phone 2 hours friday making sure it sounded right for me. i get there to find it was wrecked, the car didnt sit square from the rear it had 3 different shades of grey and shoddy blends. i took one look at the outside and walked away very unhappy that the guy had wasted my time and made the car sound perfect on the phone when really it was a real mess.
this left me 2 hours away from home set to buy one that day, so i tried to contact one from another owners club but i got no answer so i guessed it had sold.
i then ended up in birmingham at a performance garage that had 9 type r's! and only 1 was cosmic grey, after a quick look around i decided this was the one for me, still fuming from the mornings incident the dealer had a hard job reading me and i was able to get a good deal.
pictures will follow soon
