it got keyed down one side and had a very good touch up job, but you will eventually notice it and it will drive you absolutely mental. I do miss it though great car

yeah really wound me up, its what made us move area, and the fact my garage got emptied and my car emptied twice.

Made me fall out of love with the car a little bit knowing it was there, you genuinely cant tell until you are up close cleaning it the guy did a great job.

Get on the Civinfo facebook page theres often people selling very well looked after examples on there.

Whats your budget?

 

[The Running Man]

Whats your budget?

4-6k is settle for a nice lower price ep3 or a 60k miles 08/09 FN2.

 

[Crippled Potato]

You should probably look into that before it fails completely...

Taken to the garage today after failing again when starting yesterday. Looks like the motor on the steering rack has gone and it needs taking to the Honda garage to get fixed. Might be an expensive one...

 

[Muffin`]

everything online points to EPS modules or ECUs. I don't know anything about FN2s but it's odd for a rack to go unless its moon mileage isn't it?

 

[Crippled Potato]

Replacing the EPS module. Going to be ~£1000 out of pocket, not including labour

Wheel arch lining rivets... Can anyone link to one that will actually fit? Tried the two types Halfords stock. First one was too short. 2nd not wide enough. Hoping the 3rd will be juuust right.

I got mine from Amazon IIRC. Either that or try Tegiwa/ebay etc.

What are the thoughts on the mugen type-r's, I am after a type-r, CW ideally but love the look of the mugen ones but they are around 12 for a decent one, potentially hold their value better?
