Been a bit quiet as I've been busy with work, been to a couple of shows (Honda Mimms & Japfest) recently but purchased an OEM DC5 LSD from a low mileage car (thanks Chris 
), so collected at Mimms and also a DC5 exhaust manifold and cat.

Got the LSD all fitted at HondaHQ as its 5 mins from my work and wanted it fitted asap, as I am due to go on tour around Europe at the end of the month.
So was fittrd with new bearings and also went for a new clutch as well, the one in seemed okay, as its on 60k though it was worth doing while box being out.
Also my RPB discs for the rear have arrived this week, going to get some new pads but will be cleaning uo the calipers at the back first, but it eill have to be after the trip now.
The same goes for the other bits i have, i thought why get all that painted fresh, then go on a 3000 mile trip, so will wait till later in the year as well.

Feels like a weapon now with everything I have done to it.
Only drove it back from my work after he dropped it off, but you can tell the difference straight away, just pulls you and catapults you out the bends.
The trip first, then ill come back, get a service and get a baffled sump done, and get on a track day

Great read, just done this start to finish. I love the anniversary edition but the are rare as hell nowadays, yours looks really clean and I'm glad you never scrapped it and sold it off in bits. Would have been such a shame!
I'm not keen on all the mods, would personally keep it all oem but each to their own. I'm not a fan of the visual mods, the number plate surrounds imo look terrible, look so much cleaner without! But I admire the dedication you have putting 100% effort in to making this car tip top! Nice one

Its nothing that cant be put back, I am not getting rid of the original parts so it can be put back later on in its life.
My plan was to keep it OEM but after the build I decided to spend lol.
Body mods will only be front and rear lips now, but I will be getting spare bumpers and will keep the originals for safe keeping

So it's been a busy little year with my ep3, not doing anything to it but enjoying it....
End of May to beginning of June, we set off on the Euro tunnel, 10 days later we had covered over 2000 miles visiting France, Germany, Belguim, Italy and Switzerland with a few mountain passes and some amazing views it was an awesome trip.

So back off the trip I resisted my urge to go around the Nurburgring after my disaster on track last time at Silverstone.
So on my return to the UK a few mates from work were heading over to the Nurburgring at the end of June, so I found some accommodation cheap, booked the same ferry they were on and had some left over euros to take with me.
I knew I wanted to go on the ring but didn't want to take the risk, so a Clockwise motion baffled sump was purchased and HondaHQ managed to fit me in to get the thing fitted.
The thing looks amazing and its a shame you can't see the beauty of the thing.
