Last week Vtec kicked in too hard.

First rear window replacement done by company from insurance scratched the elements so it needed replacing. Now with replacement I've got a leak in the boot somewhere. Getting pretty bummed out with this and constant annoying problems, tempted to sell it :(

I must admit you don't seem to have much luck with this car, I know how you feel with the leak situation though, its driven me mad. I think I'm going leave it to the professionals and let the body shop sort it out. You probably would regret selling up though, that's what I think every time I get pissed off with mine lol

I keep finding myself looking at skylines on ebay everytime I get mad at it. Well, off down the garage with it tomorrow to have a proper inspection.

The connection had failed previously and it had been reset into the glass, obviously something wasn't right and it just gave out and went pop.

It was sprayed poorly and I was never happy with it. Taking it to a proper bodyshop this time instead of scamping and getting a cheap job.

I'm swaying towards Midnight Purple at the moment though. I've seen so few ep3's in that colour and want to be a bit more original than Yellow. Blame my mates swaying me around haha.

I always thought yellow suited the ep3 shape to be honest but like you say it's quite common, not as common as white jdm replicas though (vinyl wrapped ofc) :roll: there was charged purple one on here that looked very nice, take your time in choosing as theres a fine line between looking right, and looking fast and furious imo.
