[adamf]

Hi Everyone. I have just bought this last week so thought i would show you all my new purchase  

Excuse the pics. They are not great (and im no photographer lol) Just got the car and got some pics quick... Need to clean and detail it before any good ones go up...


Really happy with the car...Coming from and EP3 Civic Type R it is a completely different kettle of fish. So comfortable and nothing like the basic civic with nothing it it... I now have a clock in my car...
Spec as follows:
Heated Leather
MFD2 + Armrest changer - Need updated maps though  
Xenons + Washers
Auto Lights and Wipers
I think it has the Winter Pack + Lux Pack - Heated seats, Armrest etc...
Red submarine lights
10 Speaker pack
Footwell lights
Highline Computer
Stage 1 Remap - 241 bhp + 267lb/ft torque
Miltek Non-Resonated Catback
Forge DV
Lambo Rep Wheels - Not to sure they are a bit of me so maybe looking for some new wheels. They are huge.. (19s)
Anti Dazzle Mirror
Rear Parking Sensors
48000 miles with VW History  
2005 Model
Steel Grey

Any way, enough rambling. Take a look for yourself. All comments welcome. Let me know what you think...

















I already have a few mods lined up but until i sell the civic and all the mods i dont think im going to touch it yet. So when i start to break the civic up next week you may see a few new things popping up on here in the coming weeks....

Love that colour, always wanted a steel grey GTI but there were none going when I was hunting.
Not keen on the lambo wheels though, think some nice 18's with a slight drop would look a lot nicer.
19's seem to dwarf the arches.

[adamf]

Totally agree. In the market for some 18" Monzas. Or some Merc AMG wheels maybe... Not sure yet..

Have painted my grille badge matte black so thought i would post up a couple of pics..

[adamf]

Done a few more bits at the weekend...

Popped up my mates bodyshop and painted ma side skirts....









And whilst they were on bake i made him a little something for his office  



and i also bought a cambelt kit, waterpump, cam chain, chain tensioner and some antifreeze to be fitted tomorrow..  

[adamf]

Well i finally sorted myself out some wheels and coilovers.

I hope you like... crap blackberry pics so please excuse the bluryness (if thats even a word lol)







  Have been to a couple of meets at the weekend and they get quite a lot of attention  

[keano]

YES!!!! :

What coileys did you go for?

[adamf]

Went for AP's. Bought them off a member on here. I think they are very good. Quite a comfortable ride really lol 

[ktlstar]

im on aps sits nice that, the rear adjusters out ?

[adamf]

Yer they didn't even make it out the box

[ktlstar]

brilliant 

are the fronts all the way down ?

I'm just asking as i brought some and not even lowered it all the way down yet! But looking at yours it sits even more perfect than mine

[adamf]

Yer all the way at the front too..

It rubs a little when corning tight bend/roundabouts hard. Have done the front screw delete but still rubbing. Going to get the hammer and dolly out and give it a tap up at weekend and see if that helps. If not. Will roll the arches a bit

[ktlstar]

haha good man!! Was you down Tonbridge meet Sunday ? I see exactly same grey mk5 golf with these wheels on.

[adamf]

That was me indeed lol. At tk max and then the multistorey what one were you in?

[ktlstar]

haha - i was in my ed30 grey one. i parked near the entrance at tk maxx, didnt stay long.

My mate had the blue beemer decked on white wheels who parked up alongside the shops you might of seen!
