Further to my "newbie" post I thought I'd start up a Car/progress thread.
I picked up my Silver EP3 this Sunday just gone.
It was my first experience of an EP3 and wasn't sure how it would compare to my Astra VXR which is pretty special and rather modded.
They are 2 very different cars and although the EP3 doesn't have the boost and torque the VXR has I have been in no way disappointed with the performance the Type R offers!
I'm short on pics at the moment and the car is relatively standard. It has had the benefit of having Vibra Technics engine mounts fitted and some RCA's and a good full alignment set up. As a 100k mile it feels good.
Although the clutch has seen better days so I've already got a new genuine clutch kit on order from Tegiwa as well as a HEL clutch line to throw in.
Mats are a bit rough so new genuine mats in order to along with some other dressy bits to tidy things up.
Plans at the moment are to just get the clutch sorted, nice interior tidy up and refresh and some paint work due to lacquer peel.
Once I start getting stuff sorted I'll add more pics
