JoJo_228 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I've got quite a few friends from this page and I'm not ready to say bye to you all yet, so I will continue on with my new car. You all know me for my Blue EP80 (Jeans)... so I went completely crazy and bought a Blue EP2. I seem to like blue cars. I've been looking for one for months, having wanted one since I learnt to drive but insurance wouldn't let me. I came across some right nails, people lying about the condition - people only mentioning faults when I asked to view.. I had a budget and I told myself I wouldn't shift from this.. but I did after finding this one. It's near immaculate.. when we viewed it, I genuinely couldn't believe how mint it was, especially after seeing how the others I had seen were. The guy I bought the car off was the most genuine guy out there - couldn't be more helpful, friendly and it made me feel at ease buying this from him. He was gutted when I drove her away as it was a very reluctant sale. She's been kept well, full service history - looked after, regularly cleaned fully and only done 75k. I don't have many plans as such for this as I don't think anything needs doing other than general maintenance and a few cosmetic things I'd like to change. She was going to be a Type R rep.. so currently sitting on Type R alloys (painted ... gold), Type R seats and Type R spoiler... Here's a few photos anyway, for those who don't dislike me for leaving my Starlet behind ;)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoJo_228 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Little update for those who care I got rid of the gold fog inserts, and the Club Civic decal.. Looks much cleaner now in my opinion... Also, a couple of snaps I took today whilst the sun is out... to show how clean she is.. (minus the dirty tyres ) That's all for now.

JoJo_228 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Nearly show season! I'll be attending Japfest and Japshow and hopefully JAE... Looking forward to Summer.. got a few plans for this, just need the money. I'll just be a general customer at Japfest but will be lingering around UKSO Stand possibly! I'm on 'Modified Girls' at Japshow... and JAE undecided yet . Anyway, here's a sunset shot to keep the thread going... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilkamdar12 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Drop it on some coilovers that would finish it off, other than that very clean EP2 Or if you want to do the full works a K20 turbo swap That would be cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I really want to do is drop it.. Just sourcing funds at the minute! I did head to Japfest, popped to the UKSO Stand but hardly anyone around, saw the lovely Laura though ! This was me in general parking, shamefully dirty but the weather down was awful. Did some headlight restoration the other day too, came up brand new. aaaand a cheeky bum shot..

jimmymac101 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think i prefered the blue and gold look this will be set once you can afford coilover James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoJo_228 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Okay. So it's been almost a year. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. Well, it hasn't but little bits have.I sourced some teg wheels and drove all the way to Liverpool to get them as they are what I've wanted on her since I got her, took about a week to get them resprayed and fitted. All of which I did on my own again haha! Not much has changed elsewhere unfortunately. This is how she sits now.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) That looks great. If it were me, I'd get an EP2 me thinks! A friend I know loves this colour, but her boyfriend made her buy an EP3. I think she would have preferred this though. If this were me, I wouldn't be bothering with a K20 swap, but rather a D16 turbo engine as they are seriously capable motors. Love this it's gorgeous!

5T4R7ET N/A Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I looked into getting one of these and doing a k20 swap. Its too much work unless you get the 2.0 s-type model.So the other engines are a more viable option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) May send it slightly off topic... But why D16 over K20?Looking tidy. I like the blue and the DC5 wheels!Because they are absolutely tried and tested, in fact there is a whole forum dedicated to tuning them http://www.d-series.org/forums/engine-building/59924-d16z-turbo.html With people achieving well over a 1000 bhp. Obviously the K20 is a superior motor, but don't discredit the D16 motor as they are seriously capable motors!They're cheaper to get a hold of, they are very common and you're not paying a premium for having a K20. Tuning for these are very well understood. The non-type S type R's already have a D16 motor in them, it's just a matter of swapping it for the ideal variant. It's the choice I would make for this car, but each to their own. Edited June 4, 2017 by Calum122 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sold my DC2 and haven't touched another Honda since... Hmm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
