Bored as f*ck been in all day due to the weather, skint from new clutch and xmas shopping kids and Mrs in bed not very well so thought i'd write up plans for the new year.....

Kpro / K100
20-30mm drop & FRSU
DC Mani
Prem / Facelift seats
Brencivic cam cover (not sure what colour), new or resprayed battery tie, new bolts & washers for engine
New alloys or maybe respray oems white

Not sure what I would want to do after that?

JRSC or RBC inlet mani............

Would be very happy if I got that done bit by bit next year.

Some good plans you have there mate!

i'd go for k100 instead of k.pro as all the tuner's lock there maps these days anyway, so you could have k.pro with a locked map which may as well be k100, also k100 is cheaper! The only downer with k100 over k.pro is you cant do any data logging, having said that 90% of k.pro owners never fiddle about with there's anyway!

I'd definately go for a dc sports manifold, it sounds ace with a dc system and makes the ctr breath out so much better! £ for £ one of the better mod's for the ep3!

I'd go for some abp's -30mm eibach springs along with front and rear camber bolts and fast road set up- I had this combo before i got coilover's, to be honest it handled just as good on oem dampers and eibach springs!

Get your oem wheels refurbed gloss black or matt black- milano red with black/dark wheels looks ace! i hate white wheels on any colour and there a pain to keep clean!

Then little mods like a brens custom camcover and battery tie bar realy smartens the engine bay up!

nice car anyways mate, keep up the good work :thumbup:

Sorry brenda bender!

Nice plans youve got their mate :thumbup:

[mattb_1987]

Looks like good example! Best colour too :thumbup:

I need to give the bodywork/alloys on mine a bit of TLC in the New Year. I’ll probably end up buying a manifold and having the clutch changed beforehand though!

Tints look brilliant, always wanted tints on my Milano but after seeing these I’m sold!

Also like the alloys, I was tempted to go with white but not sure I could be bothered cleaning them every few days to keep them looking mint.

Car looks great nibz

DC sports FTW !!

[Djnibz]

My car has been lowered now 30-35mm, i've had put on adjustable camber bolts and arms and had the fast road setup done Really happy with the way the car drives now but a bit p*ssed off to because now my exhaust b pipe scrapes going on and off my driveway :bad-words: Quite suprised really as my drive isn't steep at all. Its doing my head in as I have to take the prams, kids shopping etc. out of the car just to gain a couple of mm clearance before I get on the drive.
Im actually booked in next week to have some other springs put on which is 20mm at the front and 10-15mm on the rear to help with clearance but I love the way the car sits now and dont want to fork out loads more cash so im thinking of having another b pipe made up, maybe have it done slightly narrower and so it doesnt hang so low? Any ideas?! Will my system still sound the same if I do this? Not sure what to do yet.....
And no I cant park on the road off my drive!
Anyways I thought i'd take some pics before I make my mind up and a few other pics as I couldnt help myself:

[Djnibz]

This is where its scraping on my drive :bad-words:



Any ideas please say!

[jymmm]

hi Djnibz

loving the colour of your wheels. Do you know what colour they are? gun metal grey ?

[Newannaive]

The b-pipe is well low, lower than my spoob even...

Car looks better on that drop, shame you have to change.

[Bower]

Yeah the car sits absolutely perfect now mate, I'm sure my dc doesnt sit that low but saying that I have a dc sports mani too. Get a mani first might higher the b pipe, it an excuse to get one

[Djnibz]

hi Djnibz

Thanks, I was tempted to have them done a different colour this year maybe matt black, or white as I wasnt 100% sure on these. It's quite strange as when I stand next to the car the alloys look quite light and the centre caps are darker and they stand out which I dont like but if you look at them at a low level, head on (like in the photo above) the caps look the same colour!
When you stand back and look the overall profile of the car the wheels and caps look the same and quite dark so now Im going to keep these oem alloys and keep them this colour. I will pm the paint colour as you may not read this :thumbup:

It's well low! And yes its a shame something has to go / be changed Not sure yet.....

The DC manifold was on my to do list still not sure as I dont really want to be paying to have the standard mani put back in every mot time. My idea was to have a word with the bloke who does the mot's when mine is due next which is in a few months and see what he thinks! I cant see the mani pulling my b-pipe up any more as I went to a local powerflow place to see if they can shift the system up and they said its tight enough but they can re - design the angles on a new pipe.

Love the colour of the rims

Love the colour of the rims

Cheers Bud, what do you reckon with the springs / exhaust situation any ideas?!

[Bud]

I persume its just a slight scraping?

I wouldnt bother changing the springs as its most likely its still going to scrap.

The DC sports System is sits higher than my Spoon. All other exhuasts hang really low, (skunk, buddy club)

I wouldnt worry mate, i scrape my exhaust everyday

[Bud]

just looking at your picture of the bpipe, yours does sit very low compared to mine. Who fitted?

[Djnibz]

ABP fitted it, cant remember exactly when roughly 3 - 4 months ago.
This isnt light scraping, it was that bad I had to take the prams, spare wheel and anything else out the car that weighed much and I have to get the kids and mrs out the car before I attempt to get on the drive to gain a couple of mm as it just clunks and stops my car rolling on the drive but when they are out the car I manage to get on but it scrapes bad!
