2002 Supercharged EP3 Civic Type R
Discussion
I’ve no plans to get rid of it for the foreseeable future, I did toy with getting it sold a few months back and buying an Evo, but I sat and thought about it and I just don’t want to :hehe;
It does everything I need right now and is plenty of fun.
I’ll see what the cost of the wrap is and decide what to do from there, if it’s a lot I might just hold off and get a respray in the original colour next year.

Good to see a set of Bilsteins & Eibach in use! I've always advocated a good set of shocks/springs with money spent on adjustable arms/bracing over almost all of the sub 1k coilovers.
Regarding the wrap /grey colour , have you considered something like the Audi Nimbus Grey

- even found a Civic in the colour for ya.
Another couple of jobs ticked off today, I think, hope, pray, that we’ve sorted the charge out. Alternator back on with a new belt, ELD checked and plug cleaned etc.
Now seeing 14v on the voltmeter...
And no battery light.
Huzzah!!
Rear brakes now on too, they look ace IMO.
Still undecided on the wrap!

Garage looked at it..
Changed the plugs, all fine
Checked the coils, all fine
Checked fuel pressure, all fine
Checked the maps, all fine.
So went into the ECU and ramped up each injector seperately to check flow, 4,3,2 all made no difference, upped the flow on 1, and hey presto, issue solved.
So last night the Injectors came out, which meant supercharger off (again) and dropped off for testing. Injector 1 found to be running at some 50% flow. Ultrasonic cleaning and backflushing through seems to have sorted it so they will go back in and see how they perform now but I think I will be ordering a spare injector from RC just in case.
Fun fun fun..
<Sucks teeth, sighs deeply>
Well, what it is mate, no-one wants these fings anyway, ‘specially once they’ve been mucked abahht wiv.
I’ll give ya a couple of grand for it, an dat’s doing you a favour.
In all seriousness, I’ve got to decide whether to sell or hold onto my M3, you don’t know if you’re going to sell the Civic, but if the stars align at some point next year then who knows. Can’t hurt to ask

Charltjr, I’ll keep you in mind. I’ve always fancied an E46 M3 actually.... 
Sean, it’s a decent price. That was with me taking the injectors out though. Easy job on a standard inlet manifold, not so much when you’ve bolted a supercharger to the front of the engine. As we’ve had it apart loads we were able to have it apart much quicker.
