Due to purchase of a new car, my fiancées Cosmic Grey EP3 Civic Type R is up for sale. She has owned it for over a year and has been a fantastic and reliable car, having covered approx 10k in her ownership.

The car has a small handful of sensible modifications, these are as follows:-

Eibach Lowering Springs
Gruppe M Style Induction Kit by Tegiwa
Magnet CAT Back Exhaust System (6x4 Oval Tailpipe)
Front & Rear Adjustable Camber Arms/Bolts
Upgraded Speakers
Alpine CD Player
Sub Woofer & Amplifier
6k HID Headlights
LED Sidelights & Númberplate lights
Wind Deflectors
Aero Wiperblades
Rear Tinted Windows

The car is an Air Con model from the factory, and also comes with factory fitted fog lights, both optional extras to the specification when purchasing the car new.

The car has a full service history, not main dealer but all from reputable garages. Was just services a fortnight ago and also received a new rear damper and a new rear top hat as it had began to knock slightly. Valve clearances were checked and setup correctly, and gearbox oil was also renewed.

Last year during its service it had all 4 anti roll bar drop links replaced. 4 new tyres and full wheel alignment also carried out last summer. Tyres still have lots of tread remaining.

There is a folder full of paperwork and receipts for work cried out on the car over the years, pretty much everything done has been kept and documented.

The car drives great and is very comfortable and not too noisy with the engine breathing modifications.

The car is in very good condition inside and out.

The car is HPI clear and has never been involved in any accidents of any kind.

As with any car that is 9 years old, there are some negative points but these are very small.

-Paint flake to the front bumper where the splitter joins bumper. Has been previously painted due to stone chips, as there are next to none on the front end.
-When she bought the car, the bonnet was black. Previous owner had a carbon connect fitted but couldn't get a Cosmic Grey bonnet in exchange. She had the bonnet painted Cosmic Grey inside and out, and shows a bit more pearlescent that the wings/bonnet. Not noticeable until bright sunlight, just being honest.
-Small paint chip on the bootlid which has went down to the metal and has turned into a small rust spot. This is absolutely minuscule and wold be difficult to spot without it being pointed out to you, again being honest so as not to disappoint anybody
-Air Con isn't that cold, could do with being regassed, but with winter coming isn't that vital.

The above are things for a 9 year old 82k mile car are pretty standard. It's in overall excellent condition throughout.

As far as maintenance goes, the car has been kept well on top of. It's getting o that sort of age/mileage where to future proof the car some more, you'd look into doing a clutch change and also the timing chain and tensioner at some point. This isn't vital to the car as they currently do not need done, but if she was keeping the car these jobs would have been carried out next year as a preventative maintenance measure.

Less chat - here's what it looks like. These are older images, but nothing has changed. Will get some interior and engine bay shots when the weather gets better.

*NOTE* Car will revert back to its original 04 plate. Private plate not included with the car

I've been looking for an EP3, there's one the same colour on gumtree with 61k miles in Aberdeen for the same price ono... I'd give you £3600 tomorrow for this.
 
seen this car a few times, great car , GLWS
 
Corral I've PM'd you. Can't find advert for the one in Aberdeen though.

Thanks Dean. Its a lovely motor and drives great, doesn't get used to the full of its potential by Amanda.
 
Ah - that's why I couldn't find it. Looks a good example for the money, just minus the subtle mods on my fiancées.

Depends on what you are looking for, one that's got the mods already done or an unmodified example. The mods on my fiancées would cost over £1000 to carry out with new parts.

Cheers
 
Would love to PX this for my MR DC5 to free up some funds. Lovely car!!
 
Some fresh pictures taken this lunchtime.

Guys, can I ask any interested parties to please have a read of the advert in full before asking questions or making assumptions. All the information is their, and saves repetition over and over.

I've had a couple of peop,e saying 'are you sure this car hasn't been painted as the front bumper is a different colour to the wings?'

EP3's are all kind of like this due to bumper being plastic and wing being metal, and the angle/shapes of panel to the light, plus I have stated in the advert that the front bumper has previously been painted due to stonechips.

Apologies to the genuine guys who take the time to read the adverts in full.

Cheers

Steve
