    '06 Cosmic Prem K100 EP3 - Written off

    That looks awesome. I'm liking everything you've fitted so far.

    Bought an EP3 facelift

    Nice looker and unusual & refreshing to hear of an owner doing away with mods. My own Milano Red EP3 is about preservation rather than tuning.

    04' Satin Silver EP3 - My First Honda

    Nice going so far. I got my EP3 around the same time as you. I've not done anything like the amount of stuff as you have. Still tidying up odds & sods.

    Audio advice

    Yeah, you have quoted me as saying decent aftermarket speakers - by which I would refer to 2/3way design, large magnets, quality cone construction & leading brand name from the likes of Alpine. Pioneer, JL etc (polk, rainbow if you have deep pockets) For reference my EK had factory paper coned...

    Bedding in brakes. Steady or Heavy?

    Main issues arrive when stopping hard from higher speeds & not releasing the brakes trapping heat in the disc/pad contact area. Scrub em in on the roads for a week then go!

    My JDM Civic EP3 Type R.

    Nice. Total thumbs-up for your plans going forward. I'm doing the same with my UK car.

    How restrictive is the OEM backbox?

    I removed an aftermarket tailpipe (cobra) for a genuine Honda OEM item & definetely noticed a loss in power up past 7k rpm. Probably a good few bhp if you can feel it.

    Lowering springs - yay or nay?

    My EP3 came on Tein springs with what must be a 30/40mm drop. It's not slammed which is a look I hate. It rides quite nicely over bumps etc, not sure on the dampers as they are just stock looking, though I have the original struts from the car. What I'm saying is, I find the OEM springs look a...

    Firewall access/grommet into cabin - Amp wiring

    Wheres best on my EP3 to run the stereo +ve cable into the cabin? Nothing seems obvious & I'm not the sort to bodge before getting it right. Any pics would be handy. Thanks

    Audio advice

    Whilst all the above regarding amps is true, there's no reason why a modern head unit & aftermarket speakers can't be great on their own. The poor sound quality is due to the door itself & the general tinnyness of its construction. Invest in some dynamat sound deadening & properly applied...

    Improved handling modifications advice

    Just to add regarding the tyres. My EP3 had some naff tyres when I bought it. I had to replace the fronts as a matter of urgency so fitted some Rainsport 3's. Whilst putting up with the rears I was convinced the car had knackered bushes, dampers & even a noisy wheel bearing at the rear. It...

    Drying off after a clean.

    2002 Milano Red EP3 - showing her some Love.

    Long time - no update. Seems like ages ago I stripped out the factory headunit & associated dash plastics. I proceeded to give the fascia a rub down & repaint in std looking silver ( I couldn't decide on what theme or product to use if I wanted to carbon wrap or whatever) Handle inserts...

    EP3 Buying Ep3

    Nice one, enjoy! Mines down 40mm, just gives the lightest of scrapes entering my drive, seems OK on any speedhumps.
