  1. Hi! As you may or may not know I currently own a BMW 325i SE (see build here: http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8218-shafzzz-bmw-325i-e90-grandadspec-build/) , and although a really good daily driver and a car I'll always respect for how capable it is, at the young age of 21 I realised I'd rather have the hot hatches and the like now, and I can always own a BMW later - so I've currently SORN'd it and gone and bought.. this! My 2002 Honda Civic Type R EP3, non AC model as I wanted (weight saving), and in Nighthawk black, barely run in at just 105k miles with FSH to 96k! Upon purchasing the car, it obviously had a few niggles as every used car does, so I set about sorting them straight away. It undertook an oil and filter service a few days after I got it then whilst the common driveshaft heatshield rattle on the EP3 was addressed, I realised one of the bolts that hold the driveshafts bearing onto the car had snapped, not good, but it wasn't rattling so was temporarily fixed till I ordered a new halfshaft (arriving tomorrow). I then addressed the terrible headlight bulbs with LED sidelights from my BMW's standard headlights, and some H4 bulbs that surprisingly had survived 3 years from my first starlet back in 2011! When I bought the car it needed four new discs and pads, so I went for MTEC Grooved discs and Mintex pads as they have a sale going on currently due to having a new website, these will be fitted at the same time as the new driveshaft... Upon going to a meet in it, my car started to get louder and louder, upon further inspection the exhaust was blowing! As I'd intended to change it anyway, an M2 catback system was ordered (buddy club spec III replica) and will be fitted hopefully this week. I then had to address my biggest issue with the car. The standard audio. It was terrible, no clarity or bass, the stock speakers felt extremely underpowered and could not produce bass nor vocals at the same time. I went for the Pioneer DEH-X5600BT headunit with the black fascia for EU/EP civics (as I recommended to @Roj and he runs in his MB6 and loves it.. I think) Vibe 8AWG Wiring kit and my 'legendary' sub as I should say.. Roj can explain why. Some more pictures! Both my cars together. Autotrader advert picture of the car. Current mod list: - True 2.5" Straight Through Custom Exhaust - MTEC Grooved Discs + Mintex Pads - Red Brake Calipers - Polybushed JDM EP3 Rear Anti-Roll Bar with HardRace Droplinks - LED Lighting Upgrade - Pioneer DEH-X5600BT with some other Audio bits - Blacked out inner headlights - Not really a mod but the difference it made was incredible so Uniroyal Rainsport3 Tyres - Carbon Fibre OEM style Spoiler - 6000k HID Bi Xenons - TEIN S-Tech Lowering Springs - Honda S2000 Intake Setup - OEM Flush Mount Front Foglights - Window Tint - Alcantara Gear Gaiter - Eibach Camber Bolts and FRSU To do list: - Fit carbon fibre bonnet - Fit carbon fibre spoiler - Tint the windows - Rear Diffuser fins THE PLAN: - K100 + Map - PLM headers But yeah that's the start of the build, might take it slow as I've only had it 2 weeks.. Shafz.
