    Recommendatio for discs + pads + brake lines for EP3

    How did your brakes fail; mechanical, pads or fluid? Imo Stock but route air ducts as its usually heat that boils fluid and wears pads out. Used PBS Prorace in my EP3 but didn't get to try them on track, used Project Mu HC+ on track before and loved em bar the price. If you want cheap, use...

    EP3 My First Type R - EP3

    I did a few more things afterwards like swapping a cracked brake resevoir extension pipe and putting Bridgestone S001s on it for our MOT equivalent. Then a de-tar, clay, touch up, polish and wax. After that it was to say goodbye as i needed to sell a car and this one was the unfortunate one. So...

    EP3 - what handling upgrades to get done at the same time

    I'd agree with Chris that the LSD would be the first mod but if you have issues that your shocks have failed (knocking & MOT fail) then no point having a car thats not roadworthy. I enjoyed the stock setup on mine, so i'd assume Koni do a shock upgrade with something like Spoon springs i.e...

    Wiper arms on my EP3

    Did mine as well and one was "welded" on with rust, took ages to get it off using a vice-grips and shocking it with a hammer. So a tip: soak it in a penetrating oil the day before and a bit of copper grease (marine if you have it) on the threads on reassembly.

    EP3 Mystery Bolt and OEM Sealant on Timing Chain Q?

    So i was doing a valve adjustment and i thought the bolt, highlighted purple below, looked not fully in. My search of the internet shows hard to see pics (like the bolt in real life!) but it seems ok i think, can anyone confirm? Next up is the red circle, there looks like black sealant as...

    EP3 My First Type R - EP3

    Going forward: Paint the valve cover but waiting on spark plug seals as i tore one stripping it. I got some RPB front pads and a rebuild kit for them, i have one spare good piston so hopefully that will be all. They'll go with the Ferodo DS2500 rears i have. Also have to get the second rear...

    Does this normally light up? EP3

    Bought a replacement on ebay and same issue so i put in an order for some T3 (as well as some T4 for centre console)on ali-express and will give it a go at soldering one in. Will update this thread with a mini DIY when i do as disassembly of the switch is tricky.

    Does this normally light up? EP3

    Thread revisit as i've been replacing bulbs on my EP3. This one is out so i took it out then disassembled the switch and it seems to be soldered in. Has anyone tried replacing it and know what bulb it is? FWIW getting it out i took out the compartment below which was just two screws iirc and...
