Colin M's Honda Civic Type R

[ColinM86]

Hi Everyone, long time lurker first time poster here

This is my 2005 Civic Type R Premier in Cosmic Grey that I purchased in April 2011. The car was pretty much standard when I got it and I have slowly been adding/changing parts to make it to make it more track focused. I have recently acquired a Skoda Fabia 1.9d which I plan to use as my daily which should allow me to turn this into more of a weekend/ track car.

Some future plans include Bremtech Grooved Discs, Track wheels and tyres, Progress Rear ARB, SuperPro Caster Increase Bushes, Coilovers, strip interior, Bucket seats and harness.

Keep up the good work. Good old EP3s

Nice spec. I'm considering chopping the 330i in for something like an EP3 / 197 for a change. Something revvy and not to serious.

Yours has the modifications bar the diff that I had in mind.

That's a big claim, hope youre not forgetting about the little Ek9!

EP3 is lovely mate, great mods too, LSD really makes a Type R out of these!

Thanks. They are great cars as are the clios but I have heard a few horror stories about the reliability of them.
If you can I would highly recommend you find one with a diff or budget for one.

Thanks. Great fun I had originally wanted a Milano but after seeing how bad the paint fades I'm glad I chose Cosmic.

Think I have to agree on this. Never driven one myself but been a passenger and they are great cars.

LSD is a must have on an EP3 IMO.
