Evening!

I'm looking for a project, probably an ep3 and I have a few questions.

1. How much should I really be looking to pay for a car that essentially I'm going to gut and start again as I'm thinking of a JRSC and fully stripping the car!

2. Eightspeed are located just round the corner from me, has anyone had any dealings with them as if they have great reviews I would be using them and TDI North.

3. Where is best to begin with? Breathing mods for example? Do they make much of a difference without a map?

Cheers in advance

I'll keep an eye on this thread as I'm looking to do the same.

http://www.cplracing.co.uk/products.php?productid=41 seems to be the supercharger of choice. £3500 (with fitting) is quite a lot though.

Then you have manifold, throttle body and air intake:

http://www.tegiwaimports.com/70mm-rbc-i ... pe-r-4069/ £350
http://www.tegiwaimports.com/tegiwa-civ ... x-kit-521/ £350
So that's another £1000

You then have suspension... £1000? Exhuast and Manifold £1000+?

£6500 seems like a lot of money. Makes buying a Westfield or something similar value for money.

I just rea;;y want another civic, have done ever since my EP2, also not sure I'd even fit in a Westfield lol!

Also depends on the road/track usage.
