    Tuning - does it make a real difference?

    Thanks Flashy, I have already done the handling and braking so next is the power upgrade, I just wanted to make sure that it was worth doing. I originally thought that I would keep the car standard but I have had it for 5 years now and don't think that I could ever sell it so I may as well make...

    Rear Camber Kit - DME or Hardrace?

    The Eibach Control arms are not that easy to find- as time goes on I am finding this more and more with EP3 parts. It is a 15 year old car now so I guess this is to be expected. Torque QT have them for sale but they are £191.60

    Does modifying the engine make much of a difference?

    Thanks Flashy, that’s what I’m after really- more torque and acceleration (not fussed about top end as where would you use it)! I hate the fact the VTec comes in at 5800 and would love it lowered.

    Does modifying the engine make much of a difference?

    Hey Mike, thanks for the reply. Yes I’ve looked over the various options- fast road setup, coilovers, big brake kits etc. I have also owned various other cars since having the EP3 including a Clio 182 Cup, Corolla TTE Compressor and an Impreza STI Prodrive Widetrack. They have all been great...

    Does modifying the engine make much of a difference?

    Hello, I have a standard EP3 that I have owned for 5 years. Obviously in that time I am used to the performance, I really like the car so don’t want to change it so am considering the normal bolt on mods, K100/pro and a remap. I see that people generally get around 230 - 240 BHP so my...

    Shocks- SACHS V KYB

    Hello, thank you for the advice. I checked and the shocks from Cox are £577 A set of KYB or SACHS from AUTODOC are around £240 As I need springs as well would I be better off buying a set of decent coil overs such as Yellowspeed?

    Shocks- SACHS V KYB

    Hello, I will be running OEM springs but need new shocks. I have tried searching with some people saying SACHS are soft and others saying KYB are poor quality lately and leak. Does anyone have any first hand recent experience of either? The costs are virtually the same. Thank you

    EP3 rear brake pad part number

    Hello Andy, No problem at all. I did end up buying the (10160014A) pads for the rear. I went to fit them but could not get the calliper off the rear as it had been on for so long. Whilst the wheel was off I did offer the new pad up to the calliper, now you can never be 100% certain but it did...

    Apologies – Another Oil Question
