LHD Sneaky Build K24T EP3R

Here for sale is one of our gems. It is an original Dutch Civic EP3 Type R in the fantastic color Milano Red, with the original wheels painted in Championship White (NH01) and a current mileage of 186,960 km (barely increasing). However, this is not just any ordinary EP3.
What started as a fun daily driver 6 years ago has turned into a street monster over the past few years. Primarily built for quarter-mile events, but rarely used for that purpose. We have mostly used the EP3 for weekend drives and to terrorize the German highways.
The EP3 has been completely rebuilt and tuned, from the entire engine to the transmission, by Reandly Winklaar from Sneaky Tuning. Serious money has been invested, so this is not a cheap/Ali Express build. Invoices are available amounting to over €20,000. Since the rebuild, the EP3 has only been driven about 10,000-15,000 km over the past 2.5 years.
The reason we're selling the car is because we barely drive it anymore (only occasionally in the summer and a few rounds in the winter when it’s dry and sunny to keep everything running), and we also have a DC2R. We want to focus on one car, so this EP3 is ready for a new enthusiast who will cherish and use it!

Endless questions or offers via this platform will not be answered. If you are genuinely interested and have the financial means, please call or text me at +31 640957548 for a viewing. For the SERIOUSLY INTERESTED, the price is negotiable beside the car. A test drive is possible, but only after we’ve agreed on the price. The car will be warmed up by me with the potential buyer in the passenger seat. After that, self-driving is possible (if you break it, you buy it).
PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH COMMUNICATION IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY COMING AND/OR DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS. It will make things much easier for both of us :) PART-EXCHANGE POSSIBLE AT DEALER PRICES! Sounds a bit arrogant, but unfortunately necessary due to too many lowball trade-in offers. Again, if you're truly serious, I’m not difficult, but if you don't have serious intent, save both our time :)
Test pilots please don’t respond; the car is seriously fast and too precious to be thrashed by thrill-seekers. Bargain hunters can continue looking for rotten examples with botched setups.
