Nice and Shiny! Always nice to spend an afternoon on cleaning the car (and changing the reg plate)

Spike Witwicky

Nice car dude. Class beading too. What wax you got on it?

Hahah, thanks.

When are you passing through? I'll make sure I park it somewhere you can see it.

I hope to be passing between 9 and half 9 in the morning. And coming back will probably be after midnight!

I think we're talking about different models.

EK9>EP3

I think you're right!

I agree but I've a thing for a good EP3, there's the rare factor about them.
As a drivers car, EK9 all the way!

I guess I'll have to get breakfast earlier than I planned.

I'll be probably getting coffee at Subway at that time.

No sealant or wax?
How many passes of the polish?

Great finish for now finish on it.

That's all I ever use on the e60 either, one pass and it lasts 3 weeks to a month.

Just one pass with the electric buffer. Then run over the lot with a sheepskin mitten. I did compound it a few months ago. I only really have to maintain the finish. I am generous with the polish though.

Get some extra gloss protection on it. It's very easy to apply and it seals all you're hard work. It's very good stuff I always follow srp with it. Then wax which is actually my next job. I'm going since 7am .

The new wheels are very nice, really transform the look of the car.

Yeah I'd have to agree, find myself smiling again every time I look at it

I need to sort out the stance a bit though, different offset than the last set! They're a bit lost in there

According to who?
It hasn't been tested yet.

Yes it has. I obviously haven't driven it myself but it has and is being tested.

as zebra says the suspension is very basic. It's got MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the back!, yes you heard right, a torsion beam on a 280 bhp car. The old car, the fn2 had the same setup and was the worst handling type R ever produced.

Fith gear tested both the fn2 type r hatch(torsion beam) and the Fd2 type r saloon(independent rear suspension). The saloon was proven to be a much more competent handler.

That 280bhp VTEC engine deserves a better chassis. The best handling type R was the ek9 which had a very sophisticated suspension setup with double wishbone all around. Now that was a proper chassis.

My Ek2 I had years ago had double wishbone all around as well. Didn't even know it at the time, looked it up recently. Another thing about that car was it was a 1343cc and had a higher bhp than the 1.4i, I didn't know that at the time either. It was a fast car for a SOHC 1.3.

very pleased with this car. not sure why. it's not what i had in mind, but its "new" in terms of what i usually drive. nice and comfortable, looks well and handy on petrol. a serious step down in terms of power, but every other aspect of the car makes up for it.

the car was valeted when i bought it. the valet people must have put it in :pac: ... smells of strawberries.

gangster saab there pickles. all you need now is a machine gun.

edit: @DZ yeah it's a UK import, t3 spec. the 15's are lost in the arches, i fear lowering it would mean the car would be failing even harder :P maybe OEM 16's, then low.
