Well its coming in to the good weather again so i thought it was time for a nice car again as opposed to the runaround Audi A4 estate lol The car is a late 2003 EP3 Civic Type R. I got i due to missing my old one quite a lot. It seems to be a really nice example, only one owner in Northern Ireland and 77k genuine miles.

The spec list is nothing special at the minute but i do have plans

Mugen style spoiler
Lowered on shocks and springs
Full cat back stainless exhaust system
Mugen oil filler cap
Apexi rad cap
Full red carpet and matt set
Standard wheels refurbed (dont know what the colour is)
Carbon battery tray cover and anodised bracket
Few nice carbon touches inside
Rear three windows tinted slightly
Most importantly...an alarm and disclock after a bad experience with my EK9.

The plans are as follows

Possibly wrap the centre console in some 3m carbon skin vinyl (hopefully it would look tasteful)
Manifold at some point soon
A good decent induction set up, unsure which one at the minute.
A Type R badge for the grille as it looks very bare.
A few other performance mods during the summer hopefully

C and C welcome as always

Nice clean looking example, enjoy!
DC Sports do nice manifolds for Hondas, my brother had one on his Intergra, really opened it up. Heat wrapping it also keeps the bay temps down.

Cheers Stuarty, aye ull have to get a look round it alright. No no this one is a keeper, hoping for NOS in the coming months. Really regretted selling my last one without getting nitrous in it :-( so gonna make up for it with this one.

Cheers for the comments guys. Yea thy were common round my way as well but there isn't as many about these days. What's the slug intake manifold? I had an RBC on my last one and it was a good job. I'll have to keep updating this as I go a long with any progress.

Nice looking car! Always liked Civics! Never driven one but heard that they're good at handling!

What's the 1/4 mile time on those civics???

How it's like vs a standard Glanza/starlet?

Cheers cossie, the red carpet is a nice touch like. aye they handle well, not sure of QM time but they are sharper than a modified glanza but wouldnt touch most td04'd ones in a straight line.
