I've been a member since 2007 when I bought my first EP3 Type R but never posted.
Since then I've had-
Mk1 Mazda 3 MPS
Mk2 Ford Focus RS
FN2 Civic Type R
E92 M3 Monte Carlo
Seat Leon Cupra 280
I've realised eventually that all along I've need a track car. To that end, I bought a runaround and a EP3 Type R as a track Project.
Its a pre facelift with 79k on the clock.
It currently has-
Fitted by Area Motorsport
Yellow Speed Racing race coil overs
Super Pro Caster bush Kit
DME rear camber arms
Fast road/track setup
Stripped
Sparco Circuit VTR bucket seat
DC Sports Manifold and decat
DC Sports Catback
K&N Typhoon Induction
Hel braided lines
OEM brake discs
CL RC6 pads on the front
EBC blue pads on the rear
Today I went to Eurospec and with the help of Romain, Ben and Ceri now have a Injen CAI and a Hondata K100 fitted and mapped.
So below for graph
Pretty happy with the gains, the car has much better throttle response and a lot more power in the mid range. I'll get an RBC Inlet manifold eventually to get around 230bhp.
I also ordered a Sparco Evo with TRS 5 point harness to kind of match my current seat but without the head restraints.
AND I'm going to Area Motorsports next week to get the following fitted-
1.5 way MFactory Plate LSD with bearings
Exedy OEM Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel
Superpro Rear bush kit
Steering rack raiser
24mm rear ARB
Innovative steel engine mounts 75A
iShift lights
Safety devices Rear cage with X and harness bars
Baffled Sump
The last two won't be fitted for a few more weeks due to not being in stock.
To say I can't wait is an understatement, I've had many cars and superbikes and it feels like this was the car I should have bought a long time ago. I hope its as good as I think it will be.
Here are a few photos of its current state.
