mr-alternative Germany Civic Type R 30th anniversary

[Siborg]

Mugen and projectors looks great Andre, I'm glad you got the TB and cruise working, are your friends jealous? You should slam it when you change wheels, it will be on point with a drop and wheels. Any luck getting another set of 30th seats?

It tooked many time until the TB and cruise runs, as you said the TPS had to be adjusted and i need to exchange the IAC with my one.
Some of my friends are jealous, because i have cruise and hids and they havent.
Others are jealous by the way because they dont have a car with such a strong stock engine.

Of course i slam the wheels before i put them onto the EP, i like driving at higher speed - so slammed wheels are a must have.

I want to drop it a bit, but i'm not sure how i do it. I will do it next year, so i ll have enough time for finding my best and preferred solution for suspension.

I have searched for other 30th seats but havent got any luck until now. I decided to take some 2005 premier editon seats from a UK CTR, but at the moment nothing is offered.

Also, a hole crashed title car isnt available at the moment ( no special edtion and only 1-2 pre-facelift ones).

I hope i ll find seats in time, but found a few days ago some information, which said that only 600 30th anniverary edtions were builded. (for LHD market and same production capacity for RHD ones: 100 of satin silver, 100 of milano red, 100 of nighthawk black ones)

whatd you do with your 02-03 headlights? Interested in selling them?

[Siborg]

Damn Andre, your keepin that black paint lookin real nice

[mr-alternative]

Thank you Bill....but the car is only washed, not polished or so...

7 year old finish, covered 140000 kms, standing always outside...i would say it looks still good.

@ passenger i'm not going to sell the headlights, have them as spare for bad times or if i get problemes with my HID headlights...

nice car bumpppp

Some news: Replaced the seats with Accord Type R Recaros. Normally the same seats were built in red finish into the car because of the 30th anniversary edition, but my previous owner removed them.

But now Recaros are back.

Mugen front splitter had to go to paint shop because of a tricky track weekend it cracked...OEM bumper hasent got any dent..so nothing to say.

So the OEm front lip is installed for now until the mugen one is repaired.

Some pics from the seats:

like the rims

[Silver03EP3]

how to make this so much better:
1) ditch the rims
2) purchase better rims.
3) mount the new sexy rims
4) light old rims on fire
5) kick back with a drink and watch them burn

1) take them down this week for removing the tyres
2) they re already laying the garage (OEM Enkei ones)
3) next year
4) take them for winter tyres
5) we dont have monster energy here...
