TRO seems to be properly borked. 
Know Al fixed a poorly DB the other day, but it looks like it's gone again. Boo.

Nice!
What is the life expectancy on the K20 engines? I keep looking for examples with less than 60K miles on but it's got me thinking I'm doing myself a disservice.

Keep the oil flowing and they'll keep on giving!

I noticed TRO was busted yesterday, wanted to view the classifieds!
I sold my last one for 4600 quid in April with numerous mods like exhaust, suspension, polybushed, I went OTT on maintenance and anything servicable was done, think it was on 82k, 54 reg, FSH and near mint so I know what I can get for my monies
I reckon if I had the cash in my pocket and was patient a standard premier would be a done deal on 65k or less for under 5k as mint as possible from a private sale. But, I need to make my mind up! I am dead fussy so body wise it'd have to be perfect. Pretty gutted the way things worked out now thinking back but you can't control what's around the corner I guess!
Definitely no overly lowered suspension if I had another, just a bush refresh all round for OEM stuff Maybe JDM RARB. Catback something like a DC Sports system for VFM, induction, done unless I find money for K100/mapping.
You thinking S2000 still Rich? Whats the condition of the body like on yours?

S2000 happening. Been putting it off too long.
Body on mine is good. Paint looked after well but there is the odd stone chip and a small dent near passenger door. Its a 10 year old car so its not perfect but it does OK.
Still look over my shoulder when I walk away from it which is the main thing

So I admit to being a little bit of a Honda fanboy, and i'm not ashamed of it. Having previously owned a well sorted MB6 VTI-S for almost 6 years in the past i've now gone for just over 2 years without vtec yo and have been having withdrawal symptoms. I've got a bugeye WRX currently and after just 3 months with it i've got the scooby bug out of my system.
So hearing about a very clean very original EP3 facelift 1 owner car I had to go check it out.
The car is a 2004 car with 69k and a full single dealer history with all reciepts for every peice of work done to the car since new by its one and only owner. The car is 100% stock in every way apart from the mudflaps which i'm not sure if they will stay or not. Long term plan with the car is ownership for around 5 years, some tasteful mods, absolutely no boy racer tat to destroy its look or value.
First mod already purchased and waiting to go on when I get the car home later this morning.
Will be removing all plastic covers and arch linings etc to spray behind the pannels to stop rust breaking through in the future.
rjkoneill if you do sell your EP3 without the mods in yellow I may be interested in the Spoon N1 and Gruppe M!

No boy racer stuff....then suggests buying spoon n1....loudest exhaust known to humankind...does not compute.
That ep3 does look very tidy indeed though, cant be many standard single owner cars with that sort of history.
