Hi everyone
I'm a Brit, so please bear with me on the language barrier!
I'm copying this thread off another forum. This first post is from late 2015 when I bought the car.
I've always loved my EP3s. The problem is the cost of modifying them beyond basic levels is extortionate. My solution has been to therefore search for one ready modified.
I found one a couple of weeks ago that was a perfect spec for track albeit in need of some tidying and removal of scene mods.
Here she is on her first trackday at Oulton Park today!
Since buying her I've done the following
- Bought a replacement cam cover from Spooner restorations
- Bought a Tegiwa M induction kit
- Bought various engine bay dress up parts
- Removed wind deflectors
- Removed comedy rear tow-hook
- Change stickerbombed centre console for OEM silver one
- Swapped suede steering wheel for MOMO one
- Fitted Cobra carbon fibre bucket seats
- Fit 3x Stack 52mm gauges in a triple DIN slot
- Padded the roll cage
- Added some JDM floor mats
- Added correct Type-R decals to skirts
- Added Nurburgring Type-R decal to boot
- Added a new genuine Honda rear H badge
- Fitted front tow strap (hidden)
- Added tow stickers

More mods to follow soon, I'll be sure to add plenty of pictures and a write up etc.
