Nice. I like that. Has it been lowered as well?
 
I think i'll stick with the 215's from now on as it makes the car look a little bit lower so no need to get lowering springs anytime soon. Priority will be getting engine mount inserts done, jdm rear arb and ss b-pipe fitted in the near future.
 
looks nice, i don't like the facelift bumper though, its limited to only 100 in that colour so why change it..

No problem mate, to be honest if I had done the upgrades I would have just done the facelift front lights and left the bumper & rear lights standard.
 
Ok i see. But you re still an ep3maniac. You bought the same car twice.

Although bmws are great cars i'd prefer the civic too. I have a 05 nhb ep3 and it s my favorite car among the cars i ve driven ( and i ve gone for a ride with a e92 325 and a e60 535 d too )

The beemer was really quick mid range as it was remapped to 200bhp and 400nm but I got bored of the diesel sound, my mate at work has a remapped 335d that has 350bhp & 700nm but theres no denying its still a diesel.
 
Unsilenced SS b-pipe went on last week, engine mount inserts getting done tomorrow and ive got a jdm rear anti roll bar on order.
 
Engine mounts inserts fitted :) Instantly I can feel a difference to the stiffness and especially noticeable when coming off the throttle then straight back on your aware that the engine isnt rocking as much.

The extra vibrations when stationary I can live with and its made the exhaust sound a bit more aggressive :twisted:

Small update

My drivers side front caliper siezed the other day but lucky the disc didnt warp.
Had a new caliper delivered today but didnt get a chance to paint it red like the others, will get round to it soon I hope.

Took the car round to Automek and got Andrew Baird to fit the new caliper and Goodridge lines and I can confirm it only took about 750ml to do a complete fluid change so 1 litre is pleny.

Got a nice supprise this morning :)

Less than 48 hours after placing the order my Spoon N1 replica has been delivered and I must say from inspecting it the quality is pretty good and the welds nice too.

Should be able to get it fitted on Tuesday :lol:
