I looked through your thread last week ;)

Hows the exhaust? I like the bigger ones like the DC, BuddyClub etc, but I really want a Spoon. Only thing putting me off is the noise the things make!

DC is great! attended a meet a few weeks back and one guy had a buddyclub spec IV best sound on an ep3 bar far for me. Im trying to get a swap for one as they dont make them anymore :( Ive also heard the engine torque damper makes it a bit bone shattering but never witness this myself. My next mod's wheel refurb and tint the rear windows not too dark though!

I think its just away for clio owners to jump on the ep3 bashing bandwagon.

You on CTRO?

Yeah mate on CTRO and a few others are you on there? Your probably right haha i had 2 182's and a R27 before the type r i thought they were awsome and still do but i can honestly say it beats them hands down!

Facelifts have better ratios, and have slightly more involved steering.

I have a tool in the garage that can take the spindle gear out of the motor of the EPS on these, unfortunately it made the steering dangerously heavy on mine lol.

Hmmm, I may look into a BuddyClub then :)

I FINALLY got my account activated on CTRO today, only made a couple of posts but it looks like a decent place!

I still think these are good loking cars.I obviously went for the FN2 but i still like the EP3.

Still the same great engine even if my vtec kicks in a teeny bit earlier...

Cleaned it last night, so thought i'd post a couple of pictures to *****.
Hondata airbox mod is done, also HID are in. Slow progress on this tbh, not a lot of money at the moment :eek:
Looking at getting an unsilenced B pipe soon, along with some ABP springs. (cant afford coilovers atm).

Not had the best luck. Someones reversed into me, so I need to sort out my back bumper.
Also got some random clunking going on, so I need that looking at. Along with a squeeky clutch pedal too.

Slow progress so far with this, got a few bits on their way though :)

Stunning mate! Wish I still had mine? I'm looking at them again and FN2's just cant decide which one?!?

Cheers guys, my back is ruined from all the polishing! Glad me and my mate shared the work tbh.
Love how it's turned out though.

Small update.
Had this n1 on a week, linked to a bigger bored unsilenced b-pipe. It's erm...loud?

Excuse the dirty as f**k car.

Next on the list is an inlet mani, and maybe coilovers if the budget reaches it.

It's close, lol.
The car has developed a little interior rattle somewhere in the back due to it.

I will get a video, the sound in VTEC is actually boner worthy. SO nice.

The motorway is hell, my ears were actually ringing when I stopped and got out, lol!

Short video clip of the exhaust. Pretty s**t though.



Taken me a while to post, obviously on a tiny bit of private road! Will try and get another from outside at some speed, the noise is f**king LOL.
Don't flame me :cool:

Car is for sale btw.

Lovely car mate. Wheels look fab in that colour too. Really like these cars. 3 of my mates have got CTRs. All in a different model though. Spoon exhausts are LOUDDDDDDDDDD.

Oh just seen it's for sale now. Reading fail by me.

Why so soon!?

Wow it even sounds like its shaking the back end off. Think that would get on my tits awful quickly. Is that why your selling it :rasp:

TBF it sounds like its bedded in a bit now and if i'm doing long journeys and keep my foot feathered I forget it's there.
It's when you lift off and it pops a bit and rasps you're like 'FML'.

I'm just selling because i'm a little bored of it tbh!
