Yeah mate done a few things in the last few weeks, i'll try and get some new pics posted this weekend if I get chance.
Got my Spoon N1 backbox fitted the week before last and I have ordered myself a Supersprint unsilenced B Pipe ready to compliment it :) still awaiting delivery for that at the moment. I have also got myself a set of pre-facelift red rear lights because i'm not keen on the lexus style facelift OEM lights and Ive got a HID Kit with LED sidelights to go on it :) its getting there slowly

Got a few more plans for it over the next few months including rear window tints, wheel refurbishment and some new sticky tyres 8)

Nice mate :) I do like some of the old retro Civic's, my favourite is the EK9 Original Type R which are amazing machines.
I would have got one of them instead of the EP3 but they are pretty expensive and dated in comparison.

That B16 1.6 Engine is the bee's knees, 182bhp N/A raw power with a LSD 8) sweet

Wow not updated this thread for ages! I havent really got many new pics of the car but I have been busy in the last few months.

Car is now getting to a satisfactory standard, just need to tidy up a few bits this summer such as the wheels which need a refurb.
Its booked in for a Piper Manifold & Sports CAT at the end of March which i'm looking forward to but here is the current spec

- Spoon N1 backbox
- Supersprint Unsilenced B-Pipe
- Tegiwa Carbon Intake
- Engine Torque Damper
- ABP Fast Road Set Up
- Eibach front Camber bolts
- Engine Bling - Spoon socks, Carbon plug & intake covers, Tegiwa Red breather & intake hose, Stainless Washers & Red anodized caps
- Mugen Oil Cap
- Mugen Radiator Cap
- Pressed Plates (Only rear fitted atm, front needs to be drilled)
- Tegiwa Battery Tie
- Pre-Facelift Rear Light conversion

Just ordered myself a Tegiwa brake stopper which is basically more bling for the engine and I also have a Front strut brace & HID kit awaiting fitment.
Next on the list is its 36K service followed by the Piper Manifold, Sports CAT, JDM Rear ARB and Window Tints.

Here are a few pics

I DISLIKE YOU...... ha, jkz!

Looks good mate iv always liked these. I think a black inlet manifold would look epic, it's the only thing that is standing out if you get me?

Pipes and damper look good, trying to fit a damper to mine ATM but need to machine up plates etc...

Your manifold is gona be LOUD LOL!
