Think it's a Laurel but not 100% certain.

I'm sure that we had a similar conversation on here when I had to change the other one
Oh well..
I tend to give pretty good advice based on experience

It will be the first show I drive myself to so that's a plus!! Always been the passenger .. .not about that life any more haha
You'll be a passenger again, believe me!
Do whatever you want mate, your car! Just don't expect everyone to always like your ideas and you'll be fine as long as you like it of course!

Aye, it's me own fault though really.. Had to change the other one for my last MOT and meant to get the other one changed after, but then promptly forgot all about it
£30 for a new one from j&r isn't bad though
just a shame that my mech is off to Paris for a long weekend tomorrow.
Sods law that!
On my old EK a shaft snapped while my brother owned it, told him I thought he should replace both if he doing one, about two weeks later the other side went!

Should have a civic5 meet when this bad boy goes on the track for the first time
I'd be up for that, also under the right circumstance I'd bring Dave out for a track day too!

Not ideal nor where it's stopped
Glad you're well out of the way though!

That's the downside to wanting to be different enough to modify an M, there's so few after market parts. But if you check through some of the project threads, specifically someone like @Chandler's you'll get some ideas I'm sure

Not my cup of tea if I'm honest but I'd go more subtle if I had to choose.

Coming together now, looking great so far too.
Trailer actually looks pretty nice, so glad so far we've always been able to drive the car on and off the one we use!
Starting to get closer to the exciting part now

EK and MB body parts aren't interchangable my friend, unless you're good with a hammer?

True manual mode - Does it magically grow a clutch pedal and gear stick?

I agree. The 335d however feels nimble as it is smaller but wider than my Accord.
The new Hondas are electric steering this, electric handbrake that. Totally takes the drivers aspect away from driving IMO.
The old Hondas are the opposite, fantastic cars that make you feel special and you have to work for the rewards! I have had loads of Honda's, now time for a change for a bit!
I hear ya!
Isn't the BMW pretty much drive by wire?
That was the only initial let-down when I got the EP3, electric power steering but adding the LSD has weighted it up nicely, feels like it should!
I wouldn't go for any of the newer Civic's than mine.

This is my 1st bmw after a long relationship with Honda (7 of them). The Honda's are unique in the respect to their engines. No torque yes but from a drivers point of view, the B18 engines are fantastic, as is the handling, once modded. My Accord was built for looks, but soon realised i craved power and comfort. This is where the 335d steps in.
Its the small things that matter (says the wife!), the welcome lights under the door handles & angel eyes that welcome you when it unlocks. The two small amber down lights in the roof panel that gently light up the interior at night. Honda lacks the comfort and ingenuity of other makes.....in my opinion of course.
The new Hondas just dont do it for me.
Having said that, my MB6 VTi-S will ALWAYS be my favourite car....as im a driver at heart
I've always ended up back with a Honda because it's got character and like you've mentioned, they're a drivers car.
I like creature comforts too but stuff like big dervs just don't keep my interest. Spent Saturday driving the old man's S Class, lovely motor, goes well (S320 CDi) but the autobox is too slow to react and its not really a lot of fun. Just an easy going cruiser with some punch.

Enjoy, we'll see you back in a Honda soon

Krzys' 2002 Nighthawk Black Track EP3 Type R - Dave

Update from Cadwell last month!
Finally got the videos sorted from the track day in April, just been so busy and not had time to edit the videos but here they are along with the professional photos.
Pretty good day all in all despite an issue mid morning, the slip-join on the decat manifold came open and the exhaust dropped to the floor, oops! Managed to get it welded up and back in time for the lunch break. Didn't have anymore problems in the day other than a talking to for noise (makes 105/6db on a static test!). Bung in the back box made it sound like a jet!

This one is when the manifold came apart!
