[realnumber 1]

You need to give it one of your cleans and go get some pics in a nice location..

 

[imprezaworks]

Sunday gally has sent me some polish to try. And what's wrong with the pics on page one lol, hard work that. Snowing Sunday how ghey, or is it? Snowy type r pics ftw

 

[realnumber 1]

Your cleaning skills + "better" location = win

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, will see what I can do

Powerflex gearbox mount fitted, brakes getting much better, contemplating torque damper...

Personally I wouldn't bother with the torque damper mate. Like uprated mounts it tends to send a lot of vibration through the cabin, especially on cold start and when idling. Sure, it arguably eliminates a bit of wheel hop but the performance difference is pretty much zero. On the EP3 I would recommend new/fresh or uprated mounts over a torque damper. All IMO of course.

 

[imprezaworks]

Any advice is great. Looked at energy inserts too. Tbh if I can get a damper cheap enough, 40 ish I will give it a blast

 

[Lawro]

How you finding it mate?

 

[imprezaworks]

Brilliant mate. Few plans, need to sell more cars to pay for it lol

Haha! Got the JDM RARB fitted yet?

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh yes. I'm genuinely suprised the difference it's made. The rear feels tighter lol

 

[Lawro]

I was too, I never felt confident with the handling in standard form.. The rear end feels way too loose! One of the best mods for the money IMO!

 

[imprezaworks]

To be fair the handling as std was more than fine this has just improved it.

 

[marinemackay2003]

[imprezaworks]

F*&k me that sounded insane. Hes thinking of charging the saxo? Will be speaking to him about that at footy tomo

 

[marinemackay2003]

[Ade T]

Looks like a great example you've bought. Good price too. Make sure you keep on top of that paint!

 

[imprezaworks]

So after the comment about paint ^^^ i thought id give it a wash,clay, polish and wax. Autosmart shampoo, blit hamber clay, merzenza polish (note to self dont leave it on to long), some wax Dawn sent me to try . Anyway see what you think,

Comments welcome...

 

[Mr Burns]

Looks lovely, I gave mine a good clean today too...

Only thing I don't like is the exhaust.

 

[imprezaworks]

Its going this week mate, im not a fan either. Although its supposed to give great gains but it looks like a magnex which i dont like. Being replaced with a Spoon rep and silenced bpipe, bring on the noise lol.

 

[Mr Burns]

Fair play, I'm leaving mine as it is lol.

I start a new job tomorrow, so hopefully keeping the Civic should be much easier from now on!

 

[imprezaworks]

Smashing news mate. Atleast you won't have anymore clowns staying all day to view the car lol

 

[Mr Burns]

He was with us about 4hrs, my Dad was partly to blame as he doesn't shut up lol.

If this job is no good I've been told I can have my old job back next month anyway, so should be win-win.

 

[imprezaworks]

Well that's good mate.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Looks really tidy mate. I need to have a type r of some variant at some point. There's a blue Dc5 teg for sale local to me that I can't stop looking at lol

I was close to buying a teg ages ago, in blue funny enough. I would def have one

Lovely looking motors in standard form. This one local to me has black Recaros too which I prefer to the red.
