Thanks chaps can't wait to get get it fitted was going to do it tonight but the nuts to the cat are a bit tight and can't be bothered cutting and drilling tonight so going to get it fitted tomorrow morning.
Did fit my osram nightbreaker plus buls and halogen side light buls

The light spread with the osrams is much better than standard. Good to get rid of the yellow side lights Aswell.

Where abouts are you from rossy?

Fitted my HKS Hi Power 409 and Do Luck panel filter yesterday and done the air box mod with a new cold air feed. The pair together have made qquite a difference to the way it drives now, revs alot more freely. HKS sounds bang on to what I wanted nice and quiet on idle, nice burble when cruising and screaming on vtec. fitted a couple of little bits aswell, type r valve caps, tax disc holder and mugen oil cap. couple of pictures of the weekend.

Hi dazza loving the transformation, looks Awsome mate!
Hopefully on Tuesday I've got something new going in car, stay tuned!

 

[dazzawest]

Cheers mate, sounds intresting I'll keep an eye out for some updates

 

[suggs_84]

Some very tasty upgrades there

I've got a set of Osram Nighbreaker Plus bulbs to go in mine too, they do indeed make a difference!!

 

[dazzawest]

Just a small update, got some new mats from hendy, and a connects2 box so I can play my iPhone through the standard stereo. Need to give the interior a good clean before they'll get fitted though.

 

[suggs_84]

Nice touch, thats the mats i got for mine, from Hendy's too!

Nice matts fresh look insided. I'm looking for red ones instead of black for a different look!

 

[dazzawest]

I looked at the red ones, they didn't really look like the sort of quality I was after. They're all fitted now, spent hours cleaning the interior yesterday looks spanking inside now.

Got a snap on seat cover to protect my drivers seat Aswell

 

[suggs_84]

Did you use the metal bracket and clips for your driver's mat?

Being tailored, they fit so well and don't slip, i just chucked it *lol*

 

[dazzawest]

yea metal bracket was already there from the original set. i did the same mate threw them in and a quick hoover job done.

Just noticed you have the factory leather! Only the second car i've ever seen with it. The other was old EP3 ::

 

[dazzawest]

Only seen one other car with it and that was a guy on here, salesman said it was a £1400 optional extra.

Abp eibach springs, adjustable camber bolts and adjustable camber arms have been order this weekend. Eyeing up a gruppe m or tegiwa m induction kit Aswell.
The plans to keep this standard are quickly going out the window

 

[ilovemyhonda]

nice car man, looks very clean indeed! same year/colour/spec as mine! i love my leather! does yours have the nav? if not you should keep your eye out for one! i also have the hks hi power lol, great minds i tell ya! look forward to more updates!

 

[dazzawest]

Great minds indeed No i havnt got the nav, keeping my eye out for one though. Spending money elsewhere at the moment though just ordered a tegiwa induction kit now aswell. My leather seats are different to yours, you've got type r stiched into to yours, mine are plain. wonder why that is

the tegiwa is a nice job, good buy!! wierd, both my seats have type r stitched into them and rear headrests has red stitching! wonder why they differ :/ had a quick google and any i can find all have the type r logo on them!

 

[dazzawest]

Quick update with some poor pictures, fitted my 30mm abp lowering springs, nice and simple job and bang on the amount of drop I wanted. Also fitted my tegiwa induction kit, looks good under the bonnet not 100% sold with the bonnet shut though needs a bit of tidying up. Noise it makes is awesome on the other hand.
Also had to fit a auxiliary belt and tensioner Aswell as the old tensioner had loads of rust spots on the tensioner and were starting to wear through the belt.
Just waiting for my adjustable rear camber arms to turn up and I get get the suspension set up.

Hi mate, loving the mods specially the drop, once the cambers are setup properly you will really begin to appreciate that Ep3 chassis even more!
Induction is looking sweet too! Well done!!

 

[dazzawest]

Thought I'd add a quick update. hopefully it may help someone in the future. Since i fitted the induction kit, springs and aux belt and tensioner, ive had a bad vibration at about 3-4k occassionly more. I'd done lots of searching on here and google and found a couple of possibilites. i'd already put the foam between the induction kit and the scuttle. first thing i found was the clamp that holds it all together, so i foam padded that all up, noise was still there. Had a look under the bonnet, found there was a slight rattle from the induction kit heat shield, so put some padding between the bracket and the heatshield. still there. after a bit more research i come across the driveshaft heatshield issue, so removed that and drove home, still there. on my drive home i'd noticed the rattle only happened under load, wouldnt do it at idle, so figured somthing must be touching when the engines tilting and finally found the heat shield hd been rubbing on the bulk head. my ordeal doesnt sound like much, but those whoved had rattle issues will now my pain

In other news my rear camber adjusters have turned up today, so planning to get them fitted maybe tomorrow night and get it aligned saturday morning.
