Stes NHB ep3 type R project

By b16a2vtiguy
- Sat Apr 18, 2009 10:30 am #111421 So yeh, i only had the teg 7 months. I had pretty much finished what i wanted to do and fancied a change, plus it was such a good deal.

2002 NHB civic type R pre-facelift, 2 former owners, 56k miles and immaculate :D

Up to now i have done:-

*Put my stereo in it
*Put some new plain reg plates on it
*Hondata airbox mod
*Full service

Plans as always:-

*lower suspension
*Wind deflectors
*Ferrodo DS2500 pads
*Kpro ecu
*Exhaust manifold
*induction (gruppe m or gen2 kit etc)
*different exhaust
*4300k hids
*adj camber arms and full alignment
*Different rims
*DC5 seats
etc etc you get the idea

I will be really busy in work over the next month as i have last assessments to make me fully qualified, so i may be alittle slower modifing this one, but i do plan to make it a pretty nice ep3 :wink:


For those who dont know me, i am pretty anal with my cars so dont be expecting to see a standard ep3 for long :twisted:
My previous cars have had alot done to them....

So, on with the progress! I fitted some ABP 35mm spings today, the ride height is spot on and the ride is still very good. (thanks to tom and ade for the help!) I also treated myself to a manifold and decat which i'll try and fit next weekend, i have wind deflectors on order too!

The shifter is actually much better to drive with in this position :thumb:

i'm not a huge fan of the darker coloured rims.

I'll probably be painting them soon so if anybody wants to swap for some std ones before i do give me a PM

I fitted the manifold today and it definately feels quicker, its made more difference than any B series manifold i've ever fitted anyway.

It was a bit fiddly to fit though, had to remove the ARB completely
