Civic Type - R Premier Edition 06

[Martin_Hx]

Had it about 5 months now (still love it to bits and the noise @ 8k rpm!) Keeping it standard for resell value (Also with it being one of the last EP3's made), moving onto something like an S2000 in a year or so !

The quality is due to the pics being taken on my phone.

Very nice. Whats an EP 3 ?

[Martin_Hx]

Its just the model number (http://www.hondafan.ro/coduri.php)

Just diplays what spec + engine the car has really ! I think

[coog]

EP3 is the chassis code more than anything. Like my Integra, its known as a DC2, the newer ones, DC5.

very nice indeed,
still think i prefer these Type R's over the new one's TBH

[Martin_Hx]

Well i never did go for the S2000 a year or two after, this celebrated its 10 year birthday this year! Here's to another 10! Around 68k miles at the moment and still loves to be driven... used as my daily since 2007!

Holy thread revival batman!

I got a new company car in 2017 - the poor Civic got popped into a garage, with the thought of selling due to no longer really needing it...

... i didn't really want to sell it but i kept up with the MOT's and moved it around every few months to keep everything moving slightly.

Fast foward to March 2020 and after not very many miles, its finally been taxed and insured. A little air needed in one tyre and a full tank of V-Power to give it a kick up the arse and the old girl is back on the road after a few years and the sun was out on Sunday!

I miss mine badly, would love to have another but rising prices aren't helping there!

I think it's great that you've still got this. It looks good, 13 years later, thanks for posting.

Not many left in this condition and with this story. Hang onto it!

Nice work. What miles are you now on? Decent ones are only going to go up in value.

Thanks for all the kind comments

Just over 70k now, it wont go up very quickly though, my Mrs only did around 2k last year.

We are planning to go to a few car shows with it though, something i have missed. Now especially as we have a 2 month old son, need to get him into cars early before they all get banned!
