Hey everyone, fresh to the forum and great to see good people here instead of normal internet twits!
So starting off I bought my first ever Honda about a month ago now with previously only ever owning Subies
Can i say WOW - The EP3 Type R that I got is amazing! I have only ever driven one previously and it had me hooked from the word go.
My EP3 is a japan import so i'm not sure if any differences to the UK one or identical, but so overwhelmed by these hot hatches.
Currently the car is completely stock, with 84,000km on it, as soon as I got the car home I changed all fluids to genuine Honda fluids, also replaced front and right hand engine mounts as they were broken!
Future 'mods' for the car don't really strike me much at the moment, I have not had it long enough, but for the time that I have had it I feel as though i'm pushing the car no where near it's limits (cornering/handling wise) to even need modifications!
BUT I've modified all previous cars sooooo hopefully saying this will stick for once
One thing i'm definitely not doing is lowering it, love the stock ride height and the feel. I plan on tracking the car maybe once a year? Just for fun, not to set records hahaha. Only other things I have been looking into is the Hondata airbox mod, and engine torque dampeners, but where I live the police and strict on modifications on cars sleeper the only way to go, regardless staying N/A so not too hard to achieve.
Looking at buying some foglights from ebay as all the wiring and switch is on my car already just have to make sure harness has power and confirm fuse/relay ok, and also need the find the left hand side light plug as it's hidden , right hand one is hanging down.
A few items need painting (wipers/window moulds etc.), Looking at buying a new gearknob (mines all scratched) and maybe a shorter antenna.
Well here are some snaps and i'll keep posting my up to date add ons
