i woz myndin me own biznis wen i sor a phat Beema givin it deff so i fort i sho im... ...Only kidding. A friend of mine has purchased a rather lovely Mk5 VW Golf R32 in Deep Blue with the optional Recaros... It's really nice car, however... My friend has not shut up about how awesome it is and...

I've lowered my EP3 on Eibach Sportlines as I'm going to be using it for trackdays, with one approaching next month. I'd originally planned on getting a FRSU done at Grinspeed to enhance the handling, but it seems to handle great already! So my question is this... Is it really worth paying the...

Simple question really... I've no doubt it's been asked before at some point, but other than ride height is there much in comparison between the Pro and Sportline springs? My EP3 will be doing its second trackday soon and I'll be treating it to springs and a FRSU at Grinspeed. I'm not really...

I'm already running braided hoses, uprated fluid and DS2500 pads but it's time to replace the front discs. I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but what discs do people recommend? Someone suggested Mintex but I've heard it's worth paying the extra for Brembo. I'm looking on...

Had a play down a dual carriageway with another EP3 and it pulled on me noticeably, and the car was frequently spitting flames. The owner claims it's standard with a back box and cone filter. I find that hard to believe.

I'm yet to track the EP3, but the car is now as good as it'll ever be with some new pads and fresh rubber. However, I was talking to a racing driver who uses a Type-R as his daily driver and he insisted that I purchase a baffled sump before I take my car anywhere near a circuit. Apparently, the...

I've done quite a few trackdays and now I'm ready to track the EP3, I have a JVC HD video camera that I want to use for recording. What devices do people use to mount their cameras? I know many organisers don't allow suction mounts and the seats don't suit headrest mounts. Any ideas?

Am I right in assuming that the stock tyres for an EP3 are Bridgestone Potenzas? ...If so can someone please point me in the right direction as to which ones I need? I thought a simple search for 205 45 R17 would give me the tyre I'm looking for, but on every site I've looked on there are...

As much as it pains me to say it, the lack of steering feel is really ruining the whole Type-R experience for me. I was pre-warned about it but thought I'd give it a shot, but I still can't get used to it. What can I do?

Another picture request for you... I'm looking to buy a set of aftermarket wheels while I save for a FRSU ready for the trackday season, I'm worried that with the arch gap anything other than stock rims will look stupid. I'm not looking to buy larger wheels, just something cool and light instead...

Can't decide whether to get Eibach Pro springs or the ABP ones, a little visual persuasion would come in handy! Cosmic ideally but any colour will help! :D

I've taken most of my cars out on track and loved them, and hopefully this year the EP3 will make its début. I was wondering how many members do the same? I've got a few questions lined up... - How do they perform in standard form? - Are DS2500's on standard discs with braided hoses enough? -...

Hey guys, as soon as this weather picks up on going to get a FRSU done on my EP3 and go to the Nurburgring and do some trackdays. So far I've heard that ABP, TGM, Area Motorsport and TDI North are really good, but are there any others I should consider? I want the whole package including Eibach...

It's time to upgrade the pads on my EP3, I've had a look on the bay and the cheapest I've found is £95.99 for the fronts and £85.00 for the rears plus postage. Has anyone been quoted better prices?

I've changed my sidelights to some white LED ones, but now the standard headlights look out of place. I don't want HID's, just a simple nice bright bulb that improves on the standard headlights. Any suggestions?

As title... Is anyone running 205/50/17 Winter tyres for the months ahead?

As the title says... I'm running an AEM V2 and fancied putting it on the rollers at TDI North, but the list seems kinda long so I figured I'd just watch and take pics. Instead I thought I'd ask if anyone has had a before/after Bhp reading after buying and AEM V2, mine feels quicker but I think...

I've been asking around and these are the two induction kits most people recommend, neither are cheap so I wondered if anyone could offer any wisdom regarding these options or even suggest something else? I love the sound of noisy induction and of course I'd like to see some gains :). I've heard...

My recently purchased EP3 has nasty cheap tyres which I'm replacing. I'm used to trackdays and driving fast so I'm going for a FRSU and Eibach springs. Do people prefer 215 45 17 or 215 40 17? Also, people have any recommendations for me tyre-wise? I'm thinking of Yokohamas.

Just been offered a set of standard EP3 wheels, the seller claims three are like new and one has a slight scuff. He wants £300, is that fair?

Following on from my newbie thread here's a couple of pictures I took this evening of the EP3 I bought about a month back. It's totally standard at the moment, still unsure whether to mod it or not lol. I'm really happy with it, I can't help thinking it needs coilovers though!

I've just bought an EP3 Civic (without Recaros) and want a nice car seat cover for the daily drive to work. I was wondering which would be the best choice/fit? There's plenty on eBay to choose from, too many in fact lol.
