A standard EP3.
- Thread starter Honda.
- Start date
Wow thanks for that title Hazz! 
Yeah the refresh was a full set of dampers, top mounts (just the rubber inserts for the rear), springs and camber adjusters front and rear to counteract any difference the springs made. Eibach Pro, so they barely lower the car allowing it to remain practical, and the comfort has increased, I'm sure of it.
Photos of it now.

Small update.
Recently got a few items for the EP3.
The alarm fob broke in my pocket.
Had the A/C regassed, and I also cleaned it out using some comma. It didn't smell, but I bought it anyway, because I used it on one of my other cars a few days ago, which did have smelling A/C, and it has eliminated the smell.
Finally, given the engine bay a steam clean, the plenum has really come up nice, basically dirt free in all visible areas. No pictures though sorry. I also changed the oil again (Nanodrive) and HAMP filter. I am religious with keeping on top of fluids, as they're so important in my opinion. I also picked up a rocker cover gasket, as mine is weeping.

Today arrived something I've been looking forward to getting!
I bought a retrimmed steering wheel on eBay, from an obviously great guy. It's a Momo EP3 ring, refurbished. I love the satin appearance which blends nicely with the airbag cover.
The original wheel was tired, and it was showing premature wear when we bought the car. I steam cleaned the interior a few months back, and the steam cleaning made the wheel look worse, to the point I wasn't happy at all with it.
The worn original.
And the fresh new.
The stitching close up.

Nice wheel how much was it if you don't mind me asking?
I think it was a one off, R35735.
I thought to add another update, not that there's much point because not many people click on the thread I feel, ha!
I recently did the steering rack slider and re-greased the rack. There was the tiniest bit of play on the slider, about half a millimetre, but that's understandable considering how many times it was moved inside the rack. Packing grease in there has really made it smooth though, I recommend it.
Somebody put their door into the car too (van or a high vehicle I would have thought).
PDR man was brilliant.
And then on the weekend I cleaned the paint down to nothing, decontaminated, then machine polished and layered sealant over the top.
No reliability problems to speak of. Ever.

Keep the updates coming car looks really well mate.
Cheers both, appreciate it
Whether I would have felt the wear is one thing, but the added grease was immediately felt, and so, so, so much better. I did the job as a matter of course - I do a lot of the maintenance on the cars, in some peoples' eyes, because I'm bored. I just find things to do, as a sort of hobby. This could be seen as sad! :lol:
Thank you.
