I have to say the fitment of that Seibon bonnet is shocking, I thought they were supposed to be top notch but seeing that has changed my opinion somewhat.

I quite like it other than that, I fancy one of these myself.
Yeah I was a little disappointed at first but I've fiddles with the hinges since and it sits much better now than in them pictures

Jesus that looks shocking. Sorry hear about your knock-off wheel nuts, sadly the "Skunk2 Neo Chrome" gear knob is a knock off too.

I know, they only come in gun metal finish, its the same weight and shape but a different colour. It isnt exactly going to crumble apart in my hand now is it? And I like my wheels, and i've had nothing but compliments since theyve been fitted, it needs to go a little lower and the camber needs adjusting so its not perfect yet by any means.

It's true, I've had Bridgestone Pontenzas, Continentals, Maxxis and Hankooks, I rate them as:

1) Continentals
2) Bridgestones Pontenzas
3) Nangkang NS2's
4) Maxxis
5) Hankooks

At no point have the NS2's had a lack of grip, I used to get 2nd gear wheel spin with the Hankooks but not with the NS2's. Very good tyre for the price!

Well at least you didn't mention the 'knock off' Rotas wink


The stance/stretch thing does nothing for me dude, some Matt Black slips would have been my choice!!

Are those counterfeit Rotas too? I wouldn't have thought anyone would need to knock those off as they're so cheap to start with. That said, when the real thing does this, who needs fakes?

They're Rota Grid Drifts, what makes you think they're fake Rotas? Grids are based on TE37s, but I didn't have 2.5k to splash on wheels...

Crash in to things and this or something similar will happen to most wheels.

How many miles do you your tyres last driving with that camber?

I meant that people call Rotas 'knock offs'

They're ace wheels though. I would always buy them over an old genuine JDM y0 set.

Not long probably, once my coilovers arrive I'll be giving them and my front camber bolts and rear camber arms to CPL Racing for a full geometry setup and get it set up nicely

I like these civics, but in my eyes it was better to start with (i'm old!).

I'll keep updating this, despite the people on here jumping on the bandwagon hating on 'stance' when Im not even aiming for 'stance' and complaning about my amount of camber, despite the camber being the same as any EP3 that left the factory with, as I havent even touched the camber yet as after it was lowered it was set back to oem spec, feel free to call Honda stupid for setting the camber to that. The tuning company I go to will also be setting up the camber and toe to 'fast road' settings rather than 'stance' But anyway, lets carry on shall we. Feel free to complain about the camber when its actually been set up properly though, but at least wait untill then.

Spent a day with a friend helping him prep his EG for the B16 he is building



My car is also jacked up from the other side in this picture, I was fitting new pads.



Then went and did a few small bits to my other mates EP thats just been sprayed yellow.



I've got some new Bosch wiper blades and team heko wind deflectors on the way currently. I cancelled my Tein coilovers as one of them turned out to be damaged, so im looking at the new yellow speed coilovers tegiwa sell at the moment, or wait untill 6two1 release EP fitment coilovers.

Nice to see someone put a lot of care and attention into their civic. Stance looks good to me pal.
