Civic Type R gets COILOVERS & WHEELS | CAS Shop Project EP05

In the next instalment of the Shop Project Civic Type R, Blayde shows us what it takes to install a set of Tein coilovers and we finally see how it looks on the Rota Torque wheels. The question is, how will it all feel and will the Type R with all its lowness clear some dreaded speedhumps!?

The wheels are amazing, it contrasts the black and makes it look so nice, especially when lowered! 🔥🔥🔥 Wheels are gonna be a pain to keep clean though, fitment looks very good. Blayde smashed this one, love the EP3!

[@harms2000]

Great watch as always I'm really enjoying these episodes. Good choice of wheels and suspension set up. Car looks so much better after the detail too.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks! 👍

[@neilhealey6187]

Had one of these back in the day. Probs my fave hot hatch. Love seeing one getting some love!

[@SikaFosaGond]

Love the look. Came out a lot better than I expected

[@randyluna8472]

At right height it looks good but with a lower stance it's a whole different look, it really looks badass

[@christopherdawes4414]

Another great episode on the Civic from Blade. Great upgrade.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@leonrichards7349]

Wheel choice and height are perfect

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for the feedback 👍🏽

[@danieldevlin8760]

I'm not normally a fan if these civics but I think this one looks wicked, I really like it, I'd love you guys to get a audi a3 8p sline as I own one and would love to see what you do to it😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching .. An Audi A3 8P is a great shout.. we will seriously consider one as a future project 👍🏽

[@k45hem41]

Love the ep3, best episode to date, the wheels do really set it off, will this be going up for sale? Would love to see another jdm series following this like an evo or Subaru

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. The wheels do really change the look of the car. Yes, the car will go up for sale once we’ve finished with it 👍🏽

[@red9zero]

That shot up on the ramp 😍

[@AndyNorton-hz5gc]

Great video,makes me miss my ep3 even more seeing this. Wish I'd kept it,my 2nd favourite car I've owned after my crx

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching - EP3’s are great cars 👍🏽

[@jay.supa.square]

Very nice, ive just ordered the same coilovers! What are the alloys specs please blade?

[@alomechanthasinh4079]

Damn thats hella clean. I have a k24 si ep3 here in the States

[@garyslater6095]

After seeing how that sits, it’s the only time I’ve ever fancied owning one 🤭

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Agree, the EP3 does look so much better now 👍🏽

[@ChatMotorsport]

found your channel wile looking for videos to help me restore my EP1, love the music beds too, be great to see the "day in the bay" to bring it back to life

[@timscheuermann2554]

did you end up changing the tie rods? im getting the flex z for my si

[@happysnowboarder2039]

Just recently put my ep3 on coilovers, did you have to use extented tie rod ends in the front? Any help is appreciated!

[@hodgyboy01]

When will this be for sale? I'd like to buy that, looks like a nice car!

[@willludwig1356]

Doing the same with mine in the new year. It looks sooo much better on coilovers and a set of nice wheels. Lavely

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Good luck 👍🏽

[@atrem7942]

Copper grease isn't used on modern brakes because the copper tend to interfere with the abs signal.

[@nikolamilenkovski1436]

What is your tyre size and how much low you go? Thank you i’m running 225-45-17 and idk if 30mm will be good or not

[@briyantworthy5855]

Is that the highest setting on the tein coil overs?

[@Birmingham_racing]

Old suspensions need the update

[@omegapharaoh6978]

What are the wheel specs??

[@amber300c]

You should get an E63 W211 or perhaps E55 w211. 😏

[@josharmitage1312]

no one talks about the exhaust hanging. its so annoying driving everywhere and the exhaust scrapping the ground over minor bumps lmao, god knows what was going on in hondas mind when they made the older civics with no exhaust tunnels haha

[@craiggibson3523]

Ur gonna need to raise them up wince they settle in abit. Personally I think it’s way to low. I have the advance Z on mine and feeling just like stock, got them set half way and handles great. Leave them rear arch liners out unless u like rust

[@ClanOxyL]

yea i think he over did it. shouldnt have rolled his fenders but im dead against rolling fenders lol. could never do that to my car. plus i hear these cars don't take well to being slammed with the tie rod angle

[@craiggibson3523]

@@ClanOxyL bump steer is can be a nightmare if not set up properly. U can fit inverted tie rods but doesn’t always help. Can also fit a rack raiser to level the arms but again not always a great help, some ppl including cup cars run the raiser upside down. Mine doesn’t seem to have these issues and I don’t have any of the above. I do have extended ball joints which help correct suspension angle and bumper steer

[@Synept]

tyre & wheel spec?

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

215/40/17 tyres all round wheels 17"x8J et 35 all round

[@DrivewithMeBritain]

These cars are track focused cars only

[@ClanOxyL]

7:11 brooo why do people do this? brand new part but leaves the old crusty disgusting top hat. Didnt want to spend 3 minutes knocking off that rust and giving it a squirt with some black paint ? I mean not my car so whatever but man should always refresh parts that you take out and put back in in my opinion. And the fender rolling gawd that makes me wince. officially molested the car lol. It's yours though and is nice looking

[@pwnski]

All that time, money and effort... And you fit cheap rep wheels. Absolute jokes.

[@alw968]

And cheap tyres

[@DrivewithMeBritain]

And cheap coilovers
