Hondata'd EP3 Type R
The mesh is black, going to be off the road for a while as it needs new exhausts, new plates, new rear ligths, interior re installin, boot release fitting, and ICE install.
Can I drive my car in the day, with a rear number Taped on the rear? with no ilumination?

No real pics, as all my time now is spent working or putting the interior in etc etc. The interior is in now, just needs the install wiring up and boot release.
I've drove it around in the day, with no back box, just drive to a few sites that i thought would cause problems. Its shockingly low over speed bumps, but it gets over them fine. no rubbing or scraping. i can only get on to my quite steep drive SLOWLY forwards, cannot reverse on.
heres a few pictures of it when i picked it up, unfortunately worse quality than usual.
I wont be around for a while, as I've got ALOT of work to do myside to gert the car ready for daily use, but PROPER pics will be up soon

i had it all done at once so it cost about £120.
They quoted me £250ish to do it on its own, thats taking badge out too

Right, I've had the car back 5 days now, and i can give you an update:
The interior is in
The ice is in.
The ride height is giving me NO PROBLEMS at all. Gets over speed bumps/multistory car park slopes no problem.
I'm not exactly bein kind to it, although im driving it at speed limit speeds (HONEST, Havent had it above 40mph yet!! No jokes about the engine size here guys thank you very much) But I'm driving it lots, I'mn doing 50 miles some days!!! I've left it in multi storys, high streets and supermarket car parks.
It gets ALOT of positive attention/comments, which suprised me, and not just from people from my generation. I was explaining to a women in her 60's how i got in without door handles, she was baffled by it, as are most, spose its not too common.l
I get alot of looks and waves off the local chav brigade, who i did kno any before I got my car
I still need to:
Get a new exhaust system (got the money left, its the time!)
Fit Rear Lights (dont know how to do it!!)
Tidy up my false floor
Sort out rear plate
Also need to get a rear tyre, but MAY try and get away with it, untill i get the bigger wheels (19" TSW KYALAMI)
M.O.T. Is in March so need to make sure its all fine for then, it had new brakes all round and a service before it went in.
I had to wash it the other day (god how dirty do cars get this weather) and I am going to be honest here, there are a few faults (i am a perfectionist!)
They have scratched my rear windowm, quite bad, when sanding my smoothed boot.
The "hole" in between the wing mirror stalks appears to have not bein painted OR lackered!
The mesh in the bottom rigth hand corner of the front bumper isnt fitted as well as the other
There is some bubbling of the paint UNDER the lacker (im sure theres a Q in that word?) on the rear wing, can only be seen when boot is fully extended.
However, these are really minor, I only noticed cause i as washing it, you cant really notice them unless you are close up.
I'm bound to need it touching up at one point, So i'll get it all done then so its PERFECT.
just thought I'd update you guys

reeet matey!!!!!!!
I have a sudjestion for you! i know a guy that came in a top place in ultimate street car check the website, its a orange/gold supra with red/yellow interior. He had his interior and ice done by bass mechanix in newcastle the do outstanding work but he has 4 massive subs in his boot and i mean there huge but they wired it up so only one sub works while his driving round and he can flick a switch that activates all 4 when his at shows,
and i bet you have a pretty big loan from the bank my friend, agreed?

my sudjestion was hinted from an earlier post of his saying he was thinking of 8 subs but only running 4 and having 4 for show, by mentioning what the supra was running and how it would help him think about his own ice, god some people love nit picking on here
