Think about doing your a pillers with the headlining. Great to see a local on the forum

Deep pockets needed mate lol.

Why did i not guess that! Got "CMC" and braided clutch hose already. Just being lazy to put it on! Purchased from Jap Service Parts

Cmc?

Never had car inspected on a track day like that

always been that way since i purchased the car.

** post something up dude

Everything done to car is done by myself mate. Its a hydraulic system so same applies to clutch as does brakes.

So next updated is an expensive one. Fitted a new battery, actually the correct one for the car this time. Full service and valve timing. Re sealed rocker cover gasket aswell to stop a small leak To stop the problems with the IACV i orderd a rotation plate. No more strain on...

So after fitting the Coilovers i binned the very used EBC Yellowstuff rears and replaced with Ferodo DS250 rears matching the front While playing with the ride height i may have eaten some of the car. Bye bye wheel arch! Have another just not got round to fitting it yet. Also got some...

Wow great figures for mods!

So E-mailed Mtec and they have agreed to replace the disks under warranty Very happy with there customer service. Much better than most companies in this instance. Received a delivery and as everyone loves abit of unpacking here we are: So as you can see i got Meister R CRD+ Coilovers...

Brake size dont need to be increased IMO. Im yet to lose a late braking competition on track with a road car. Maybe when the power increases in the future then may be needed but not as of yet.

Ive had the arms off in the past to fit rack raiser so that may have helped me. But knock the locking washer tabs back straight and i used mulgripes. I love mulgripes! Haha Its there updated stock. I guess the blue will look cleaner for longer lol

To be honest ive had 5 sets from them. 1 set cracked on a track day at snett because i was going in harder than i should and this set is just bad luck. ** update there reply later mate

When you lower the car the oem arms run out of thread to adjust your set up. So the shortaned arms give you the adjustment you need. Thank you for the kind words buddy

Managed to find a de badged grill for the facelift bumper. Excuse the bad photo. Time to finish the suspension set up. So off to Area Motorsport to order shortened steering arms and japservice parts for the ends and service kit. Managed to remove the old arms without taking the...

Finally got a picture of the engine bay in the daylight And went and picked up a facelift bumper. Looking for a badgless grill but cant find the supplier i used last time so may have to go with oem

Nice to see a clean example

s body! so hard to find a decent one at a decent price!

i som want one!

Fitted the Rocker cover thanks to Ross. The blue spark plug cover didn't look right at all so sprayed it black. Before and after. While i was their i changed all the rocker cover gaskets and the Vtec solenoid gasket Couple of days later i fitted a carbon cover. Looks so much better...

I really should start paying you for such kind compliments!

Now repairs are out the way its time to make some progress. First off i ordered my Injen 3" intake off TDI North. Also orderd the hydro sock to fit from H-Tune And fitted Very tight fit so possibly re locate the battery in the future. Here is the hyro sock fitted A quick...

Notupdated in ages. New Loomsorted all the problems out and i wrapped the top rad hose in heat wrap just tokeep temps away from sensors. Probmissed loads of small bits out but the main bits with the car have been bigmaintenance and only 1 problem. So i hada T piece in the oil pressure switch...

Take your time and enjoy it. Ive built cars up in 6months in the past and not kept the love. This is longest car ive owned as ive enjoyed studying and decided on the next improvement. Big or small. Next bits for me are all wallet killers though! LSD, Coilovers, gearbox rebuild and cage!

Sorry only just see your post. Get a piece of pipe, jubalee it onto the fixing and put a bolt in other side and jubilee that on. Mines not split since then. Although it does show its a cheap intake!

I certailnly do. Been making me look at other cars recently but i wouldnt want to break the civic and i wont get anything decent for it as it is. HAHAHA i think im decided on keeping them white now.

Not updated in ages so here are a few bits. First up is a new throne. A Bimerco Futura Fixed FIA bucket seat in blue. Very comfortable and supportive and a lot cheaper than competitors. Fitted the Bride Low rail with sabelt side mounts. Recaro moved to passenger seat...

Yes mate. ** take a picture of how its set up. I used gorilla glue to fix the brass fixing in after it popped off first time and now it hasnt popped off again.

Got a little bit of a clean on! All for wheels off, Iron X to clean them, Poor boys white diamond to clean them and poorboys sealer to seal them. I have been annoyed by my trims looking worn for years so got some Gtechniq trim restorer and its amazing! While wheels were off the car...

Appreciate the words Jim. You miss yours or happy where you are?

Few more bits done over the weekend. Connected the Hondata to the screen in the car. Finished off the catch tank. got a pack of three scourers and pulled them apart before putting them in. Will catch the vapor so it don't seep through the filter Few more bits done over the weekend...

Not managed to update the build in awhile so i will proberly miss a fair few bits. So first problem we had was Oil cooler. I fitted the Japspeed Manifold and hadn't adjusted the lines so burned through one. My own mistake of working in the dark to finish the car. Took fixing off, cut...

Yes mate i did

Ebay special stuff. Use it on my dc5 mani and works well

Got my oil catch can in the post so went about venting it. Got some hose joiners, a filter and went about it. Trimmed the end once glue had set, put filter on and finished the rest. Need to get some black hose to finish install. While i was there i re sealed my rocker cover...

Not fitted and not an s90. Check sensors. Maybe butterfly is sticking

Similer spec ** have in the end. Im hoping for more midrange than top end though

What where the other bolt ons?

Also stopped the blow in the exhaust. Gasket failed so managed to pick up a Subaru Impreza gasket. So in true Mighty car mods style i have Subaru parts on the car!!!

You not mapped the car after fitting it?

So thanks to great customer service from rob at tdi north my M2 inlet arrived so as it is a new product i will do a opening review and another review when fitted. So here is the packaging. Packaged very well although M2 havent realised the little extra bits that poke through. Comes with...

Just had a read through and looks great! But can i ask for some more info on battery relocation, like what did you use to connect wires and route etc?

Thanks jimbodeeni. I have orderd one from TDI north so took the plunge.

Someone off facebook ** try and find there name. Take headlights apart and paint them, think its possibly on start of thread Not yet. Using my spare discs i forgot to take which are the same. Need to order a rear set of c hook so my ocd dont start attacking me haha Thank you mate

So when i got home i managed to find another fuel pump and filter. Seems the issue is now solved. Fingers crossed. Orderd another set of Mtec disc brakes but this time gone for the new C- Hook design And now the slippery slope begins. Its started! 70mm throttle body has been...

So. Day before the track day and my oil pressure sensor killed itself! If anyone knows where to find another i would appreciate it. So a clear drive up to the track. Sort everything out and head out on sighting lap..... returned to be in this position! Arch was scrubbing alot so out...

Thabks buddy. Still no graphs to compare yet.

Has anybody fitted the m2. Looking at getting car mapped in april and it seems appealing. Also looking to run with a 70mm throttle body. Cant seem to find information as its a new product. Seeing as its supposidly a copy of the skunk 2 inlet id like to see if there is a difference.

Oil Cooler turned up last night. No intention of fitting it but missus told me dinner would be two hours.......... 4 hours later it was finally on and fitted. A right pig of a job from drilling the slam panel to mount it to getting the sandwich plate in a place it was comfortable. Routed the...

Appriciate it buddy. Hehe we all love a lil skid

One more thing i forgot to mention is a little representation for HOT "Honda's on Track" Have another to put on windscreen sun strip when it turns up. (And Rasta Pig)

Another update. Rear caliper seized so a good friend who is still building his car let me have his new rear oem calipers from Japserviceparts providing i buy him some next month. So after work got the car in the air and fitted them Ordered some new tyres off tyreleader. Federal RSRs in...

epic!

This is already one of my favorite EP3's as i know the previous owner and the plans you have sound great. Hope you enjoy her buddy and will be following your build :)

Thank you man. I shouldnt have been to court in the first place. Really changed my perspective of the police. Even ad08r are pretty cheap at the moment. Hoping i can squeeze extra funds before track day to get some. And another set of alloys. 27th feb ive just booked snett, 6th april i...

Thank you mate

I will take one later. Its not neat just snipped bit by bit from the end with cutters until it sat in clean.

Got to it this weekend with a couple of friends that was free to help. Baffle finally in and sealed. Used Honda bond to seal sump, another HAMP shortie filter and fresh oil. Leaving it over night to set so should be perfect. Have to get the sump at the right angle for it to mate. Abit...

Couple of bits finished. Put the Tegiwa brake stopper on and although most of the reviews say its pointless.......... the pedal feel is fantastic! its made a noticeable difference! Shocked at it myself, but after fitting there was still a bang after heavy breaking. Here it is fitted. Fiddly...

Thank man

My order turned up today. Very impressed with delivery times. Baffled sump and Brake stopper. Sump for obvious reasons and the stopper to see if it stop the noise i have under harsh braking. Also while out the other day my idler pully started making horrible loud noises. On the phone...

Christmas Pressi for the car. Enough of all this gadget's and soft bits time to get more track focused again ready for Snett. Baffled sump ordered so will be fitted when it arrives. Then a geo set up again and ** be ready i think. Looking for semi's to put on the accord alloys. Looking...

Sorry the plans didnt work out as you wanted dude! But still a beautiful car!

Managed to get round to cleaning the J's. Used some metal polish. Insurance have told me to get quotes from body shops for the car to be repaired, Wrong time of year so i cant see that happening until Feb! Topped oil up the other day, didn't replace cap! Doh! So got a shiny one as i...

love the facelift bumper with the pre lights. was it just a straight fit?

i think about 3 rolls

Thanks dude. I think ive resd your thread, ** double check

Not updated in awhile as not much been going on. Fitted a ultra racing strut brace and in honesty the difference is very noticeable! turn in has improved a lot! Very impressed! Changed my clutch fluid which i have been meaning to do for ages. Very happy that i did. Feels slightly...

didnt think they did a rev limiter for the k20

there an addiction to cover the steering wheel completely!

After a order from Jap Service Parts i decided to take the Air con out the bay. Not removed anything under the dash as yet as i will flock it at same time which is in the pipeline. So out came the air con rad which has seen better days Front end stripped down. The compressor is a bugger...

I was at Snett in a mates MK5 Fiesta ZS that day. Seeing you all there made me want to shoot back to Essex and get my EP3 lol

So much love for this as you already know Jimbo, Interior looks great and once again you have added things on my to do list that i haven't been bothered with in the past!!!

I know the previous owner and this is a very well looked after and quick car.

Basically yes. There far and few in between

The standard seats have the subframes welded on. Hence the need for prem or bride rails etc to fit Recaros or aftermarket seats

Looking great as always!

** find out as i lost the note i made on the measurements and alloys are at friends.

Impulse buy! Been after one for awhile and one came up for grabs recently so grabbed it. Badgless grill fitted with the type R logo replaced. Guess this is the start of my front aero and cooling stage. Splitter idea's going through my mind to stop the front end going light.

I have a set of accord type r alloys to use on the track. A friend ran them on his Tyre balancing machine at work and said there out by far. Where would i get them straitened if possible without spending a fortune as there not worth spending lots on. ** get the weights it out by etc this...

I have a bride low seat rail i want to swap for a OEM rail also. Short problems here aswell dude!

I dont think it did when i had one.

main reason for me is for the manifold to stop as much heat as possible inside the bay. But as system was off thought I might as well do the whole lot. Going to do a job do it properly some may say. Thank you Hazz, not been on forums for awhile and not done anything to car expect drive it and...

You could say that. That cringe as you go over the speed bump and hear metal scraping. I knew it would come off eventually just go carried away while wrapping tbh.

Cheers dude. Its getting there slowly

Got abit wrapped up in things Ten minutes later a speed bump attacked Next day, fixed it

fugan

Its what i wanted from the start really. But gave something else a go. It honestly dont sound much louder than oem. im starting to like it :) Its only off the rear anti roll bar. Maybe 5mm in it so ** have a jiggle about when its not raining and see if i can get it to clear

day off work so decided i wasnt going to wait to wrap the exaust i was just going to fit it. Was a pain in the ars removing the manifold as most bolts were corroded but eventually it came out and all was on the floor ready for the new to go on. So started prepping the dc5 manifold to fit. For...

Couple of updates, Had a noise coming from the cv joint so replaced the boot with one from a local auto parts shop. Trying to use the process of elimination to get rid of the annoying noise coming from the rear so removed the spoiler and re seal it. To no avail. Still got the annoying...

They ****ed up and only gave me the points. I was on 10 points at time of offence. Stratford magistrates says it all

Well i haven't updated in ages. Everything is slow at the moment because.....we I'm enjoying her. Not managed to get her back on track due to other commitments which is very frustrating but the odd weekend out in her has proved value enough although i have had to soften her up slightly as she...

Sorry for the Lack of update for ages but now out of work and have a 6 month ban. Police decided i was doing 100 mph in a yaris that tops out at 90, and tracker saying i was doing 85 but the magistrates threw the book at me. So progress is going to be slow. But here is an update to now with the...

If your going through the same as me which it sounds like then i can see you turning around and coming back to the Type R. I have been looking for something with more of a special feeling and faster. A friend owns a S15 which is beautiful, he paid a fortune for it but it is the nicest one in the...

Its like night and day, really brought the car up to standard now, looking forward to destroying them at brands now :)

Managed to get round to flushing the brake fluid. Couldn't get hold of rbf600 so went for ATE typ200. Thought it was going to be blue so Itl be easier to flush but is. Or so colour. Managed at least 500-700ml through each calliper. Although the front near side had small air pockets. In it no...

Thats abit ****! I would have the rack off you if i had the time and funds. Whats the next venture?

It was a pain in the ars getting the piston out but apart from that just dirtier than the other one. Easy job just a crap job to do. Pop down on the 27th if your local to get a feel for the atmosphere and say hi. Then ** let you know when i book the next one :)
