So got my alloys done. Came out much darker than I thought :s What do you think?

 

[saitrix]

Its the Tegiwa one, the replica GruppeM one. yeah its in Kevlar. they started doing them in carbon and kevlar but i dont think you can buy the kevlar ones anymore. I only got this cause a close mate works there and had some inside info

Is that Matt by any chance? If so he did my cambelt.

I already seen it mate, money is mega tight this month sadly, got a load of bills to pay off otherwise I would have had it off him.

Been offered a 2002 black ctr with 70k on the clock for a straight swap with mine.

Gunna hold out for a bit for cash as I am wanting the same as rjkoneill. Had a mate offer me 2.5k for the ST. Soif I can't sell it for 3k, it'll go to my mate.

Hi guys, does anyone know why the little LEDs on the top left corner of the dash that have a line with REV in the middle wouldn't be working on a civic type rfn2.. I didn't realise they light up when about to hit peek rpm until I seen it on yout.. Thanks

Thanks for that any other tips for the info button lol not used it before, so need a manual will go try it now aswell..

Just been to a Honda dealership and within 30 seconds they was around me like vultures lol... Explained I was looking for the EP3 shape and they didn't have any. He then tried throwing me the keys to FN2 Type R for a test drive.

Told him I wasn't interested in the new shape and only after a EP3. He still went on the valuate everything through his head if I traded in my ST. I never even asked lol, he just seen me pull up in it.

On another note, anyone with Churchill? These seem to be coming in cheapest for me at £1500.

A dealers chucks you the keys to an FN2 and you say no! Are you special?

Same engine + gearbox so would have given you a good indication of what a sorted one feels like for then testing out EP3's as the second gear can let go.

 

[rjk]

Card it. lol

well thats the main bill that needs paying
in all seriousness though, just stumped up unexpectedly for a new set of Bridgestone RE050A all round so I can't justify it at the moment.

sad times as its practically a £200 saving off buying new.
Im sure another one will crop up soon.

Dont be in a rush to sell your ST. a fiesta ST should fetch £4k minimum. assuming yours is low mileage, that would be a fair asking price. unless i have missed a massive price crash on them recently.

a 2002 type r for an 05 fiesta st isnt the best swap in the world as private sales would net you more money.

last time i looked, 2.5k was bottom book for an ST so that is worth bearing in mind

dont waste your time with dealers bud, you are best finding one with a nice ep3 that you can test drive. I would personally hold out for a facelift and get a colour you are happy with.

i remember from the ST thread that you have issues with your insurance premiums due to your area, i would go as far to say that from your ST quotes, that £1500ish for a CTR is almost reasonable. i am with greenflag, great company to deal with. and a good specialist. their customer service is excellent too, the guy who set up my policy had a right good chat with me about cars so its obvious that they are enthusiasts

they knocked money off my premium because my last car was a ST so that may be worth calling them about.

Fiesta ST to a CTR is a good move. the big pull in 3rd gear offered by the ST which is where that car makes power is totally eclipsed by the 3rd/4th gear thrashyness of the CTR. I can honestly say, that it was a great move for me and something you wouldnt regret as an ST owner.

Thanks for the reply mate.

My car is currently sitting on 90k and needs a bit of tlc to the paintwork. Think i will be lucky to get 3k for her.

Say the guy shown me pictures of the Type R and it had bright red alloys that didnt suit at all. Hopefully i can at least get £2800 for her then i will put another 2k on top of that to put towards a Type R. Should get me a 04/05 plate with 50k miles and good nick from the look of things.

Na, no chance i would buy from a dealer unless it was a cracking deal. Was just hoping a EP3 would be in so i can have a test drive.

Also i am guessing you mean Greenlight Insurance? Just been checking out there site and they seem to love modified cars. Only problem is that it says you cannot have any non motoring criminal offences or cautions which is strange. Will ring them monday and see if i can get anywhere with them.

Skyinsurance was just the same about cars, ended up talking to guy called Luke for ages about are Civics and what plans we had for them. Brilliant customer service! and they actually know what they are on about. Shame they couldn't insure me on a Type R till i am 25.

Really looking forward to getting back into a Honda. Even mrs is liking the idea which is unusual for her

 

[Stormster]

Luke @ Sky is sound, he sorted me out

You'll enjoy the CTR, maybe miss a few toys but the drive will keep you smiling.

You may need more than 4800 for a 50k miler on an 05 plate mind
