My 2005 Honda Civic Type R (EP3) Premier edition (final model before production was ceased) has two purposes in life; one is to get me to and from work and the other for a little weekend fun out on track. The modifications have mainly been done to help with the latter but of course having fun on UK A and B roads is also where the car feels at home.
I have owned the car from new and over the 4 years have been making steady progress modifying it to where I think it needs to be, the latest purchase has been the Function 7 LCA’s and Lower Rear Tie bar which in the UK seems to be a very rare choice, but they are getting huge amount of interest, hopefully I’ve started a new trend!. The car was mapped on 20/02/09 with the K100, DC Sports Manifold, Mugen Twin Loop Exhaust and Gruppe-M Induction Kit and made 234.3 at the fly, 196.8 at the wheels.
