I thought it was about time i had my own thread about my milano red ep3.
I got it back in july 10, it was more or less standard, it had a dc sports cat back system and a aem v2 filter and wheel had been one white, besides that it was standard.
As you will see its come along way in the time ive had it, and still got along way to go with it.
This is how it was i got it.
It wasnt long after i got it i wanted to lower it slighty, I took a chance and bought some daiyama coilovers and d2 rear camber arms and then got frsu. Also got a kawasaki green engine cover too.
Pics of how she sat when all fitted and setup
I then wanted to change the wheel, not that white doesnt work on red ep3 they look great i just changed a change, so i went for some 17inch team dynamic pro's 1.2 in matt black alog with some red wheel bolts
When i got the car i knew i wanted some carbon fibre on it, so a week or two after i got the car i ordered some carbon fibre.
VIS Racing mugen style bonnet, front splitter, grill and adjustable spoiler. They took a while to come, but once they arrived i cracked on and got them fitted.
I was getting ready for some new brake pads so i thought id upgrade the whole lot while i was there. I went for some grooved discs, DS2500 pads and goodridge braided lines, i also painted the calipers kawasaki green to match the engine cover.
I also got some energy suspension engine mount inserts so fitted those too.
I then didnt like the team dynamic's anymore so ordered a set of 18s, more on those later. I got my hands on a custom made carbon fibre rear splitter.
Now that i had the front and back carbon splitters i need a set of side skirts so i order a set of seibon side skirts and also ordered a vis racing carbon bootlid.
Due to the snow etc, i only got the side skirts fitted and i was waiting to get the back windows swapped over. HDR Pics by the way
Then the carbon bootlid went on, totally changed the back of it, looks great imo
again some HDR pictures
Finally after waiting nearly 3months my new wheel arrived.
I wanted some driving pics of the car so got my brother to drive it so i could get some pics, im better with a digi cam than him haha
I then came across some aem powerslot big brake kit and couldnt say no, i also thought it was about time i changed the filter and went for the tegiwa m carbon fitler along with there inlet hose and water hoses. I also got a replica j's racing strutbrace.
These were taken last weekend.
That took some typing out and coping links over but we got there in the end.
Its come along way in the time that ive had it, and still got a good amount to get done still. Ive got a japspeed 4-2-1 manifold on route to me and some heat wrap and ties.
One thing i havent got pictures of is that i have since changed the daiyama coilovers, the rear ones just died and killed the seals resulting in a very very bouncy rear. I changed to some tein super streets with top mounts and edfc control, and what a difference between the to, handles sooo much better. really pleased with it.
End of april im going for a rbc, lightened flywheel, exedy stage 1 clutch. then planning on a k100 fitted and mapped up.
