Love gram lights, the rota reps look just as good.

thought about some tourques or circuit 10s for mine but cant justify the cash really.

I'm liking the FN2, they sit nice, no big arch gap, ideal

May have to go drive one see what they're like!

Hi there

Some pictures of AM's car took today:-
*snip snip snip *

Looking good! Well happy with it I just need to get those triangles of and back to chrome now... Any ideas on how the remove the black? Turns out its paint

autosol and elbow grease

The FN2 is likely a second choice for me after an R32 which I'm looking at buying (for a second time).

The FN2 really benefits from that high spoiler, it's got me thinking!

I thought it looked different from the norm! The black pipes wouldn't look bad at all if its done neatly!

Hi guys, my brothers civic type r ep3 is rattling a bit on ignition. The local garage has diagnosed a stretched cam chain and gave quoted £500 to replace. Having replaced the cam belt and auto tensdioner myself on my accord type r I understand the importance of replacing the tensioner at the same time as the belt. My brother isn't very mechanically minded and wasn't sure if the quoted price from the garasge included the tensioner or not, he`s going to find out. Whilst he's off doing that is there anything else that should be replaced at the same time?

Cheers!

Can anyone confirm if the CH1 ATR back seats fold flat?

 

[TaKeN]

Finally got round to making a dodgy new sig

 

[Stormster]

Poppy, get some alternative quotes if you can, I think it can be done for around 350 from various specialists with tensioner etc.

Dont know much about it myself, one of those things I'll worry about if it happens lol. But from browsing around I'm sure I've seen it done, new tensioner included, far below 500

Can anyone confirm if the CH1 ATR back seats fold flat?

Hi Vita, i've got one and unfortunately no they do not fold flat. Behind the seats is a welded section making the boot for all intents purpose, sealed meaning the rear seats are fixed in place.

 

[ChrisD.]

As above, rear seats are fixed.

Well that is a shame as I would have liked it to have folding seats. I have seen on for sale which is a '02 with FSH though it's done 136k miles, and has no A/C.

Boot size is important to me, the seller said it does have a very good sized boot. Can either of you confirm this for me?

He has it on for £2,100, I think that's rather expensive tbh. How much should I be looking to pay, I did ask regarding the 5th gear syncro issues and he said it doesn't have any receipt for having it done. Am I right in thinking this only affected pre-facelifts?

Anything else to look for if I do go to view it, as I am in 2 minds.

I can't seem to find a decent Type-S. With that being said, I then thought that I'll get the ATR for the experience then possibly move on to something newer later down the line. I don't know how long I would have it, and don't do many miles.
