So yeh, i only had the teg 7 months. I had pretty much finished what i wanted to do and fancied a change, plus it was such a good deal.

Up to now i have done:-

*Put my stereo in it
*Put some new plain reg plates on it
*Hondata airbox mod
*Full service

Plans as always:-

*lower suspension
*Wind deflectors
*Ferrodo DS2500 pads
*Kpro ecu
*Exhaust manifold
*induction (gruppe m or gen2 kit etc)
*different exhaust
*4300k hids
*adj camber arms and full alignment
*Different rims
*DC5 seats
etc etc you get the idea

I will be really busy in work over the next month as i have last assessments to make me fully qualified, so i may be alittle slower modifing this one, but i do plan to make it a pretty nice ep3 :wink:


For those who dont know me, i am pretty **** with my cars so dont be expecting to see a standard ep3 for long :twisted:
My previous cars have had alot done to them....

Sorry i couldnt resist putting up pic of my old cars, i miss them! :cry:

So, on with the progress! I fitted some ABP 35mm spings today, the ride height is spot on and the ride is still very good. (thanks to tom and ade for the help!) I also treated myself to a manifold and decat which i'll try and fit next weekend, i have wind deflectors on order too!

The new manifold.....

I fitted the manifold today and it definately feels quicker, its made more difference than any B series manifold i've ever fitted anyway.

It was a bit fiddly to fit though, had to remove the ARB completely

So yeh, fancied something abit different so i did the wheels takata green, i'll be keeping them for the track anyway. I actually really like them though!

I also fitted some silvertech indicator bulbs to get rid of the orange in the headlight and i removed the civic badge as it looks cleaner without it.
Also should be fitting some hids this week sometime.

My few phone pics....

not sure on the wheels dude. The green doesnt go with the black IMO.

But as you say, they are for track ;)
 
I actually think they dont look to bad..Its different but they are nice...Very nice car mate
 
Dude those wheels are now officially ruined and only fit a skoda octavia.... Take away all the beauty from your sexy car.
 
Yeh they are really just for track, but tbh i think green and black goes very well!

I actually really like them :p
 
green looks good mate ive never seen an ep with green wheels were im from every1 just keeps the car standard nice to see something different.
 
i like them just for being unique, it suits it well.
you dont get many cars that are unique nowadays unless there ricey.
 
I keep toying with the idea of going back to an EP3... i'd have to have a single exit exhaust though, Spoon N1 maybe. Twin exhausts just don't look right.

Wheels look great, though.
 
Nice pick, i love EP3 in black!!! Black with green is quite an outstanding comb......my friend NSX have this exact comb too!!!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, i've been alittle quite as i'm on the save for an LSD next.
Still got wind deflectors on order and hoping to get the ferrodo DS2500 pads this month as i keep baking the standard brakes.

I agree i would prefer a single exhaust, not a fan of the standard twin but i dont want a loud exhaust so i'm looking into them (and when i say loud i mean even a mugen twin loop is too loud lol)

anychance you could PM the colour code :)
Click to expand...

Its called ford modena green, closest i could find, or you could go with rover java green, which is also very close i painted the itr's rocker cover with that.
 
I normally absolutely hate the bright colored wheels but I have to say they dont look bad at all. Dont think I'd do it on my own car, but they do look quite well. :nice:
 
It's unique and if you like it then that's all that matters! but personally the only time Ive seen green wheels and liked them was on a cw ek9 and the wheels were te37s!!

The car is nice tho!
good luck wid the rest of the car
