Bye Bye Swift, Hello EP3

Very nice!

It's not a 30th AE. That model was pre-facelift only.

Does yours have plain red recaros, or Type R seats? I think the wheels look rather good. I'm not a fan of 18s on the CTR, but they don't look OTT at all. If you do want some standard wheels, look out for pre-facelift rather than facelift. The pre-facelift wheels are cast by Enkei and are lighter weight (and a slightly lighter shade of silver).

Satin Silver is the best colour too. Good stuff. ;)

Momo steering wheels? Smells like a McPremier to me! Next on the agenda, Gruppe M! ;)

It might be the one piece leather MOMO wheel as supplied with the JDM EP3 which it sounds like it is. The 30AE was only on the pre-facelift model so it can't be that.

Can't see much from the photos but the Premier edition is a very nice car, I want those seats myself. I can't see 18's being much fun when it comes to swapping tyres though. I changed mine in November last year and they need doing now 4kish on :eek:. Although every day is like a track day with me, so not bad I suppose ;)

Anyway, glad you enjoyed my dubious driving :D seems like a good deal and mileage isn't so bad. I have hit 51k in mine and that's a 53 plate.
 
After looking at the photo in PS and adjusting the levels, I can see it has the red Recaros. Premier Edition it is then!:cool:
 
It perhaps looks a *little* high on those wheels in the pics you've shown, but I'd defo keep them. They suit the car nicely.

Very nice!

I'll be looking at new wheels when my tyres need changing (probably this time next year at this rate), and will definitely be going for 5 spokes. The CTR wheels are a PITA to clean (plus mine a kerbed to oblivion and I want a change)!
 
Very nice. Always liked these from the sides and back but I can't fall in love with the front...just seems...wrong.
 
I dont like the alloys at all. Im sure someone will swap you some original ones?

Whats that thing above the hazard light?
 
JDM mats:D I bought a set of those for my EP3, £104:eek:

Nice upgrade Darryn. I'm sure you'll love it.

Edit, they aren't premier seats Danza.

Appears to be a parrot kit or similar handsfree.

Very nice car, alloys look really good imo, could do with being a lowered a tad though to make them look spot on.

Youd be right, its the parrot ck3100, which works great with my Nokia N95. :)

I also think that the 18" do look a little small on it, so a small suspension drop might improve the look, but the ride is already quite firm (not uncomfortably) so dont think ill get it dropped as that would possibly adversely affect the current ride comfort.

Those are standard mats and they are Premier seats. It's a premier because it has the red carpet and those seats etc. Dunno if the Momo wheel was part of the Premier package though.
 
My bad:p I'm sure mine had those seats though...:confused:

Re: The wheels, they look alright. After market wheels normally look naff on EP3's.

You need to get JDM mats though, they look great.
 
lovely car, well done and enjoy!

I wouldnt worry about the mileage, especially with the Honda service.

OZ Chronos are awesome :D

Same wheels as the Celica GT-Four came with at stock somewhere along the line (assuming they're the original chrono and not the refresher model).

Nice car, but as much as I like those wheels, they dont suit the car IMO. Some Rotas or similar would be more suitable.
