You bought the milano red one off the type r forum? Looked nice and well priced too

Nice car and great colour!
I've actually been driving my brother's supercharged one around recently and although there are things about it I dislike, I must admit they are pretty fantastic cars to own and live with.
Bearing in mind that its been approximately 10 years since they were first launched, they've stood the test of time brilliantly well. Just the integrity of the engineering is what does it for me.

Bloody hell yeah! Good detective work, was cheap and local. Prefacelift milano one. Fast road geometry set up coming up.

Lol. I saw it on there and thought it looked nice. Good move then?

For me I'd say yes. Because most of my miles are done on the motorway the Clio was a bit tiring. The Clio handled more go kart like - the CTR does understeer a bit compared to the Cup, but hopefully sorted by the geo setup with adjustable camber arms (£295). VTEC is hugely addictive which sees my petrol needle drop quicker than Michael Barrymore's underpants at a pool party. So much comfier. No faster than my 172 Cup but the way the VTEC kicks in makes up for it. Easier to get more power out of it though.
Not a proper 'upgrade' as such, but definitely a better car in terms of everyday for non B roads. Parts aren't as readily available on the forum either but no big deal.
Oh and just for you, after owning ph1's and a ph2 Cup - for everyday driving (I've never tracked my cars), the ph1 is a much better built car than a ph2 in my experience. If/when I come back to 1*2s then it's a ph1 100%.

I think standard colour looks best on Cosmic, especially freshly refurbed. Here's mine!
I thought the facelifts had a darker silver finish to them?
Hondata'd EP3 Type R
They just look dirty to me?

I just said refurb them in the brightest silver you have. Hyper Silver I think.
Fresh, stock Silver wheels on any car is win. Anything else is try hard!

Any other purple bits planned?
I've got some center caps in that colour coming and was thinking in the future some under bonnet in that colour.
Wheels done, enjoy, sorry about the iphone pictures.

Definitely the right thing to do. Nothing better than fresh bright silver alloys.

you know where pal! haha. Went in for a clutch and was gonna get the FRSU done on the 21st but CBA taking another day off work so got the clutch, stiffer engine mounts and the FRSU done on the 4th. The guy knows his stuff, TEXTBOOK.
Grinspeed in Leyland - highly recommended.

Excellent mate, they will be doing a few bits to mine in the coming weeks. Did he look after you on price

He was cheapest I could find for the clutch and he's only 10 mins from my mums. The FRSU was a CTRO forum special offer @ £245 all in. £30 for the engine mounts and free fitting as the clutch was being done. Car feels more like a proper hot hatch now as it just felt very light/unsure on bends before and was a biatch to change gear at 8k in VTEC sometimes! The engine mounts have stopped the feeling of the gearstick jumping out at high rev changes too and much tighter up front. JDM rear ARB next.

Looks cracking AND. However I would have gone for RED callipers if I was doing it. That said, it's probably a private joke as Gally said..fingers crossed.

EP3 Type-R's are dirt cheap at the moment. So much car for the money, IMO.

All with 100+ miles though, well around the 3500 I want to spend.
