Looks nice mate how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Welcome. Can see why you paid £3700 its a stunner. The type R is to raw for me which prob makes me a pussy lol

[matt sport]

Thanks for comments guys, next plan is to get the wheels refurbed in gunmetal grey, have potentially found a new set of tyres in the,form of yoko c drive 2's ill post up some pics of old car latter for those that are interested

Hi Matt, welcome to the club. Great looking car looks really clean. I think £3700 is a good deal especially with 53K on the clock. What's your plans for it? Any mods in the pipeline? I know you mentioned the wheels. Are you going keep it fairly standard?

[matt sport]

yeah standard really already done k and n kit sounds a bit nicer, and just wheels having come from a modified car im gnna keep this one standard is nice to have bit more of luxury cruiser, however looking in the bay theres plenty of space for other powertrains...maybe one day

heres few of my old car-

colour on these wheels is what im going for-

Hi and welcome to LOC. :)

Got a stunner there :zee:

[noby76]

nice looking TTE matt always good to pay a bit more ££'s to get a low mileage well looked after models! wanted one in Black but settled for Platinum silver.. nice looking EK9 Type R you got there. always wanted one in the Coupe VTI version.. the IS will be a bit soft and sedate compared to the 8000rpm EK9 but will be a more relaxed drive with few toys to play with but without VTEC experience.. Welcome :)

[matt sport]

yeh is certainly different to the ek9 but that had to go unfortunatley, however the lex does go surprisingly well for a car of its size everyone of my freinds/family are impressd when they see it aswel so says something for the styling etc
