all i get is a red x..
Hi ephatch members!
I just sold these days my 2005 Civic Ep1 and bought a EP3R , better knwon as Civic Type R.
The car covered about 90000 miles, but engine head is re-builted with new valves ( previous owner may used wrong oil or valve timing was not correct).
Here some pics from my "new" EP:

Awesome Andre, that is so clean! I thought your German speedometers were in MPH? Any plans or are you gonna keep it stock? Also is the extra switch on the left for a cd changer?
very nice!..i liked the EP1 alot too. I'm jelous of your shiftboot. Any chance you could source one of thouse for a fellow EPer??
EDM type r's came with side marker's ?
nice ride though!
@ Bill this extra switch on the left side is a remote for the dvd player, i had it in the ep1 too. Of course i have plans:
-cruise control (i need it for highway tunnel, otherwise i get a lot of speed tickets)
-install the alcantara headliner from my old Ep1
- upholster all pillars with Alcantara
- may get a JDM DC5 header later (good that a buddy has one DC5 and the dealership have a part list now)
- refurbish the oem Enkei rims ( previous owner used it for winter tyres) and install new Bridgestone summer tires
- install new winter tyres on the actual wheels
- install the factory HID from model year 2004 / 2005
- mugen front lip, maybe carbon fibre finish
- install indepent vehicle heater (removed from the EP1), just need some more brackets and coolant hoses for the Ep3.
@valo666
This shift boot comes from a accessory package with shift knob, costs a lot of money, but the 5 door civic (like my dad has got) uses the same shift boot and its available seperatly as a genuine honda spare part. Its mounted like the rubber one.
@ vic
these are turn signals in the fenders , no side markers.
EDM havent got any side markers.
sweet, cant wait to see the upgrades! keep the progress pics comming.
new progress pics, most of the list is done:
got a close up picture of the alcantara? and possibly a link to a shop who sells it? It looks pretty spot on color wise, compared to the roof liner and the other plastic :)
whoaaa. i thought ctr came with red recaros.
not a fan of the wheels
Niiceeee car! I want a TYPE-R!
I just notied youre pocket on the side of the steering wheel is twice as big as my cars and theres no cruise control switch..do you have cruise control?
I get the alcantra locally from a upholsterer, but its replica alcantara.
@ tttrigg3r yes the 30th anni edtion came with red recaros from factory, i guess the previous owner changed it because of these look worn or he needs money and so installed the normal pre-faclift type-r seats
@ superchargedk20 i dont like them too, they come with the car and tyres in a aceptable condition,so i use them.
I was at a tyre shop and they couldnt get Bridgestone Potenza in 205/45R17 Dimension at the moment, so i need to wait a bit until my Type R gets OEM Enkei wheels for the summer tyres.
@ username011 you dont see the cruise switch in the newer pics, i did a DIY oem like wiring harness and installed the cruise from a RSX Type-S (TB from RSX, all other stuff is from EDM civic 5 door and US civic coupe), works very fine and protects against speed tickets.
