Knite Force NL 2004 Honda Civic Type R EP3

Hey guys,

New car, new page. The moment I'll start working on the EE9 again I'll start updating that page


Last year I bought a 2002 Satin Silver pre-facelift EP3. Car made a stunning 252HP, mainly thanks to the RBC, K-Pro and the complete exhaust that was under the car. The car used to belong to someone I know so I knew it was well taken care of. It was in an immaculate condition technically, inside and outside. After having loads of fun with it last summer I put it away in my garage to upgrade the handling even more during the winter.







But then, a rare opportunity occurred. A 2004 Cosmic Grey Pearl with very little km's on it (just 95.000!) in stunning condition. Facelift, with A/C and OEM Xenon (very rare options here in Holland, especially together!) and completely stock apart from a Comptech Icebox and a HKS Hi-Power muffler. So I bought that car, and now " all" I have to do is get all the "fun-parts" from my first EP3 onto the other.

But, this is what you all want: the pictures
















Pics I took as it still belonged to the previous owner.

Very nice. I've got a soft spot for a tidy Cosmic Grey.

Need to update the first post again...
 
Thanks gents. Swapped the DC Sports header yesterday for a Toda race header, wich was converted to 3". Need to get it retuned now.

Last friday we swapped the KW V2's for the KW Competitions. Had the car re-aligned and can't wait to get to the Nürburgring to see how it handles

Pretty curious how this will sound...


Also fitted a new Competition Clutch stage 4 clutch and Ultralite flywheel during the winter, and changed the FD and 6th gear...

Haven't driven it since last october
 
2.2's. They should do pretty well on a stock engine I guess.

Good choice. Have the same ones and they worked out very wel for me (stockish K20a2 with bolt ons). Fairly wide powerband and enough grunt up top. Are you claying the engine? If you want to know how they sound check my instagram (ctr-asch).
Keep us updated. I 'm considering itbs and it would be interesting to see the results.
 
Claying the engine? Never heard of that mate

I kinda know how they sound, my mate has them in his (now Supercharged) K24 Time Attack car. They sound MAD, to be precise

What was your full setup, and what numbers did you reach?
