2004 Honda Civic Type R

[Ol’ Tarby]

My car obsession continues. Just picked this up

115k
Eibach prolines
DS2500s
Braided lines all round
Some M2 or summet exhaust (sounds nice but knocks like f**k at the back)
Skunk2 manifold

Could have other stuff but literally saw it in the pouring rain last week and picked it up earlier, in the rain.

Got a bit of laquer peel here n there, and it's had a bit of welding before I think. Drives really nice though and I forgot how comfy they were compared to the Clio.
Will be using this for the 'ring in may


More to follow

Oh it's back on standard wheels, not the ones in the pic

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice.

 

[welshname]

Nice. Really want to own one at some point would make a good ring tool.

Yeah it's the perfect cheap car for it. Reliable for the journey there and back, plenty of room, and decent on the track

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

It ain't no Jazz.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

It ain't no Jazz.

Thank f**k

Going against the grain.... But these are meh to me.. ?

 

[Craig]

Very nice mate

Nice, I recently bought a black Premier Edition EP3 as a daily and track car. Loving the engine but 230 bhp helps (k100, exhaust system, radiator), build quality is far superior compared to my similar aged Clio 182!

Any planned mods?

 

[JB21]

Can't keep up with you James, nice purchase though. The seven thing gone then?

The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things mate

Yes, your K100 if you want to sell it ?
Only thing I really want is the Teg M airbox. Then it'll just be a wheel refurb and maybe the odd little bit here n there. Nothing crazy

I know mate, I'm murder lol yeah the Zero went last weekend. Just at the right time really because it meant I could buy this and keep the Clio in the garage

[Ian_182]

Nice purchase.
Theres not much else out there for the money and reliability.

 

[imprezaworks]

Decent ones are hard to come accross I’m finding

FN2s are now cheaper I think.

[imprezaworks]

Are you buying the white one?

 

[Mr Burns]

I once rode in a red EP3 with James, many moons ago.

True story.

 

[adamlstr]

Need's Evo wheels again. ?

Thinking about getting one myself, as a fun car that can live outside. Had one years ago, they've aged really well.

Is nice

 

[Al_G]

Is nice

Looks a nice, genuine car.

Stop talking and start buying lol.

 

[Mr Burns]

After owning a 172, 182, 197, EP3, 225 and ST150 I have to say I really think the Fiesta is massively underrated. I drove mine back-to-back with an EP3 around Curborough last year and still thought the Ford was nicer to drive. The only thing I prefered about the Honda was the slick 6-speed box and Vtec noise.

 

[TRH_Racing]

A good mate of mine has just turbo’d his ep3

410bhp with a 6psi waste gate spring, he’s looking at 450+ with a new one :|

All this on a stock engine, they’re insane. Car looks mint

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Nice. What welding do you think its had?

This was the last MOT

So something must of been done. I'll get it up in the air next week and have a poke around

Decent ones are hard to come accross I’m finding

My mates just picked up a nice 30th anniversary yesterday for not much more than your budget

Bit gutted I didn't see it first lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Mm think I saw that advertised, done about 120k?

This doesn’t surprise me and reminds me I need to get my FN2 undersealed.

I seen a jazz the other day with a bit patched into the sill so I’d say hondas of that age are now getting the tin worm badly.

4 years ago my mates mums ej9 civic had a few rust holes in the passengers quarter panel at the bottom and when we jacked it up on that side the jacking point on the sill totally collapsed.

105

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah was on eBay at 3500

 

[Goodj]

It ain't no Jazz.

What people really need is 2/3/400 hp so that they can get onto the back of that queue of traffic ASA-Fuqin-P!!!!!!

As if you saw all that and still bought the f**king thing!

 

[Christopher]

This.

WTF. I bet it's like a f*cking colander underneath if that's not been sorted properly!

 

[Jack!]

Why do these rust badly compared to the Clio of the same era?

 

[JB21]

That MOT report don't look good mate. My Celica didn't have a report like that and once I stared to dig it had to be scrapped it was that rotten. It even passed its MOT which was seriously worrying as it was a death trap.

Really hope that's not the case though mate but Jap cars of this era are terrible for it, hopefully being the later facelift its escaped structural rot.
