Hi all,
Im new to the honda vtec world but im excited to get started! My plans are simple, buy a ep3, convert it into a track car! Id like some pointers if anybody can help would be much appriciated! Ive tuned a few of my past cars, first one was a focus st mk2 was running stage 4 at 378bhp, and i currebtly own a new astra gtc vxr!
I have no plans to tune the vxr but instead i want to get the civic and have it as a good toy to have lots of fun in. Now from what i can gather from reading on the forum and speaking to he very helpfull guy at tdi north.
Its not going to be as expencive as i thought. My budget for a ep3 is around 3k give or take £500. I know what stuff to look out for and from what i can gatger 3500 would get me a decent one with around 70-110k on the clock, im not massively fussed about millage as long as the cars beong well looked after and has all paperwork present, FSH, etc. Now as far as mods go for the track my plans are as follows;
Full exhaust with manifold,
Intake manifold and caic,
Oil cooler,
Stage 2 Clutch,
Dampeners,
Big brake upgrade,
Tyres,
Stripped and caged,
LSD,
Rarb,
Upper strut,
New chain and tentioner if needed and valve clearences all checked.
Now thats just from what ive researched myself is there anything else you guys reccomend and has any body dont something similar, if so what is your experiences.
Cheers guys much appriciated.
