Hello Guys
I have had many ep3 type r cars and found them,like you all,to be a great all around tool .
Anyways here is the spec and I will pop up some pics of my build progress and stages of mods as I go .
I guess its worth saying I am hands on like we all try to be and have had the pleasure of plonking together a few cars in the past .
spec-
2005 A/C
233bhp 170 ft/lbs mapped by Romain @ Eurospec
Toda 4-2-1 manifold
3" TDi North 96 db System
AEM CAI
Ported De-badged Skunk2 inlet manifold
Blue crinkle paint spooner restorations Rocker cover
Hondata K-pro
paddle action Clutch 6 puk But I use the standard pressure plate to make a light pedal pressure .
Fidanza lightweight Flywheel
Quiafe LSD
5.8 M/factory final drive
Clockwise baffled sump
Shortened steering arms
new tie rod ends
Rack raiser
polybushed engine/gearbox mounts
Camber bolts
Tein Custom coilovers Front 11kg Rear 13kg
Rear camber arms
JDM 24mm ARB JDM front anti roll bar
Buddyclub 330mm 4pots front stoppers ds2500 pads ds2500 rear pads new standard rear calipers
HeL Braided Lines
New hand brake cables
Full standard interior
Custom re diffusor
standard wheels for road with eagle f1's
Play wheels Rotas with D-mack track tyres
I got the car with so low miles I was super happy so got on the ramp and decided to go over it just with rust killer and then I went with military grade Hot Wax and you heat this stuff up and flood the chassis with it then it sets in all the holes and stops rot in its tracks I then went about coating the underside of the car with some dinatrol that sets hard so its like a underseal but not a poor Shultz tar crap that never goes off and just basically covers the underside of the car to hide everything.
To be fair its a nice tool I have done a few track days and its been fault less also I have just returned from the ring with destination Nurbergring where we had 2 days closed track days so lapped 42 laps or there abouts of the ring and she done well once again no issues at all and it was 30 degrees so again the type r surprised everyone with being a sharp car and reliable and affordable to run .
I will add pictures when I can work out how too lol if you would like to see just see my Instagram profile .
@littleengco

Thanks for you time guys and nice to be on here I look forwards to maybe catching up at some track days if anyone tends to go to a few .
Regards Stu
