Hello fellow members, Honda enthusiasts and general petrol heads!
My my name is Tom, I am from South Wales and I am new to this forum (or any forum as a matter of fact). I have brought myself here to gain knowledge in car modification and maintenance. My new EP3 is going to be the first car that I have attempted to modify so I hope that being on this forum is a way for me to learn lots of new things from those that are already experienced in car modifications.
So, anyway, a little about my car...
I got my first EP3 roughly a year ago. It is a Nighthawk Black pre-facelift model. As soon as I test drove the car I felt bitten by the Type R bug! I was immediately drawn to the nimble, light feeling of the car and, well, VTEC... Wow, just, WOW! I love the way the boost that VTEC gives feels so mechanical, like you can feel the incredible engineering that allows such a thing. In recent months I had been toying with the idea of starting to modify the car. I did a lot a research into the kind of modifications that are popular on the EP3. I decided to hold off though. I thought that, if I was going to put a lot of money into modifying a car, it had to be the right car to begin with. For me, this was the facelift model in Cosmic Grey, my favourite colour of the EP3s.
A week ago, I purchased the CG model I had been looking for. It already had some mods, which I was happy about as they were the exact parts that I had planned to use.
So here is the car that started it all...
And here is the new one
The spec is as follows
DC Sports 4-2-1 Exaust Manifold
DC Sports Cat-back Exhaust
Tegiwa M air intake
K100
Engine and gearbox mounts
Eibach 30mm lowering springs
Adjustable Rear Camber Arms
Front Camber Bolts
Buddy Club Roll Centre Adjusters
JDM ARB
FRSU
Yokahama Paradas
I have a rough idea of which further mods I would like to put on the car and I will keep you all updated
Thanks for looking!
