    EP3 First grand on mods, what now?

    5.1 FD and the LSD are the best things I've done to mine while it's still on standard power :D Would recommend the long 6th gear too if you were to go down that route if you use the car on motorways or do long runs.

    Nice! Looks clean, just keep an eye on the oil level as low oil kills them quickly but otherwise should be good fun when it snows!

    Wheel Clamps Advice for security

    Personally I think a wheel clamp would be too much hassle. Imagine you need to leave home in a hurry, say an emergency in the small hours of a morning while it's cold and wet?

    N77's ex now being sorted by Simon & Jamie

    We borrow a trailer off a guy my brother does spanner work for on the side so usually costs us £15 a day or so, £30 with the Disco (truck of doom we call it) as well, or we can hire one for £40 if our guy isn't able to help out.

    Porsches are always in the way! Glad the car seemed to perform well! Did you literally just turn the damping as high as it goes? What pressure do you usually start off with when cold/cool? We seem to do okay around 24/25psi at the start of the day then might check them if the car doesn't...

    late 2018 tyre suggestions...

    Just ordered a pair of Michelin Pilot SuperSport to replace the PS4's I've now worn down. See how they go but hopefully be decent! Goodyear EF1 AS3 seems okay but it depends what you want from it and the car. Spending more makes a difference.

    Just those mate. Front one is usually the main culprit but given the age of these now probably replacing all of them isn't a bad shout. I've got the inserts on my front, rear and gearbox but wheel hop has since returned.

    Do I need a BBK at this point

    Whilst that's true we did end up with the caliper just grazing the back of the spokes, enough to take the paint off the caliper so we put a 3mm (or 5mm, I forget which) spacer in each side to just nudge it out. But they have been brilliant on track.

    Wandering ep3

    If it's always been like it then I think your first port of call is the alignment. I know you plan to change suspension parts which will upset it anyway but may be worth getting it checked to see if that's the culprit? What's the wear like on the tyres as that may give you a clue as well.

    Restoring headlights?

    I did mine a couple of times but it's gets boring really quickly how much effort I was having to put in to keep on top of it so replaced them earlier this year, much better.

    Light to Moderate Vibrations

    First thing that springs to mind are the engine mounts. It could be that these are stiffer than some cars you've experienced or they may have been changed for stiffer after-market ones or even have inserts fitted. Either that or one could be goosed. Just my thoughts anyway.

    K100 and Remap for an EP3?

    I'd like to think you'd get away with a single drive as long as it's not mega miles? I was thinking when I get my RBC inlet fitted that I might just trailer the car to the tuner, but I'm able to borrow a trailer and I have the licence for towing which makes life easier for me.

    K100 and Remap for an EP3?

    I went to Tegiwa for the remap on the track car and that was great! Though I can't comment on part throttle as not so much time was spent on that knowing that the car is track only.

    It's not a stanced eurobox where the 'build' is just some Porsche wheels and an air ride kit on tick so I'd leave it. It's a useful thing to have.

    Brake pads for the ep3

    I have to agree with that, actually thought the DS2500's I had before were better and I know your thoughts on those.

    Brake pads for the ep3

    I'm thinking Stoptech or PBS for my next set of front pads, the Project Mu HC800's haven't lived up to the hype for me and I just don't think they're that good once hot either.

    Ep3 cpl k100 with reflash

    I know it's expensive in one go but my plan is still to go straight for the K100 with a remap. I hope to coincide this with fitting of an RBC inlet to get the full benefit of the map as I don't intend on changing any other engine parts after that.

    honda service plan.....worth it or not?

    Depends what their version of a half price MOT is. I pay £30 for an MOT anyway, about £50-60 for an oil and filter change and generally that's my EP3 sorted for 12 months as far as servicing goes.

    EP3 Manifold and sports cat EP3

    When I took the track car to Tegiwa I was informed that you can run a full exhaust with decat without remapping fine. If you then add an inlet manifold such as RBC, Skunk2 etc then you will need a remap to run safely.
  61. Krzys

    Spoon n1

    Weirdly ours was okay until we changed the manifold as well but it was pretty damn loud anyway, made 105/6db static at 4k rpm! I remember having that in my EK4, summertime I loved it, winter I hated it!

    EP3 10w60 oil used for over 10k km - no issues but I have questions

    Interesting, we still use 5w30 on the track car and it hasn't burned any. Might be different if it covered more than 1000 miles a year or was in regular racing.

    EP3 EP3 track build almost complete

    We've been tracking an EP3 for two and a half years, we've split an engine mount, radiator popped and that pretty much it (Not on the same day I might add). Both of those parts were original and the car is a 2002 with 138k miles on.

    Where are you off to for your track day? When I go, generally start off with about 24/25 psi in the tyres when cold, keep an eye on those during the day and adjust to your liking once warm. Check the oil too, should be okay but always worth a look at least at the lunch time break. Build up...

    FK8 Shell V-Power

    A friend of mine did the half tank filling too which is fine for short runs etc but like you I've always racked up the miles and it's just easier to go tank to tank and not mess about filling up so often.

    HID/Zenon headlamps and new MOT directive

    Should be easy enough to swap it back to standard. Most HID kits are plug and play.
  83. Krzys

    FK8 Shell V-Power

    Both the EP3's get 95 and whatever is cheapest at that. Stagea I prefer to put Tesco 99 in because 10p a litre less than VPower makes a difference over a 64l tank.

    Good track days for novice in NW?

    Car show track sessions can be quite chaotic and always have to be more aware of the others around you. On a dedicated track day everyone is there for the same thing and they're not a cheap day out either so people tend to play nicer.
