Twistedmonkey ep3 type r Milano red

[Twistedmonkey]

Hi all picked a few more parts for the ep3

C-pillar brace

Carbon gear knob

Omp steering wheel and hub

Had to buy these to cheer myself up lol still having the tps problem so far I've replaced the tps twice and the complete engine wiring loom latest try got 33 miles out of it before started playing up again it's driving me nuts now and don't understand why it keeps coming back

Haven't tried the Ecu yet as that's been suggested ? Or maybe the throttle body itself as car the engine came out of had front end crash ? Spent quite a bit chasing this issue so far can anyone help me out ? Can the Ecu just be changed or will I need all the locks and key aswell ? Any help greatly appreciated

Well since I'm still ****ed off about the engine and I'd ordered this before the engine blew thought I'd get my c pillar brace fitted

Also picked up a brake stopper

Hi all quick question managed to get the rear doorcard off and the alarm was there so checked all wiring etc all seems fine the alarm works as it should just no noise out of it so would this suggest the sirens knackered just wanted to check before I bought another ? Seem cheap enough there isn't a valet mode on the standard alarm at all is there before I order a new siren ?

Hi all so onwards with the ep3 hoping to have a new engine sorted next week so I can get her back on the rd also on the lookout for a new induction kit don't want to be doing that again lol

Whilst the engines out I'll fit my uprated engine mount bushes and get the brake stopper fitted . I also order a new alarm siren so will see if that fixes the alarm

More next week

Long time no update so here goes

Been back on the rd now for about 6 weeks and everything's still running well
Went to a test and tune day before the first round of the Honda drag series set a 14.4@99mph
Was pleased with that had a lot of wheel spin off the line so got some r888 on the way for drag use

Done quite a bit to the car fitted a front shrut brace new spark plugs on the way got a new sump to get rid of the leak I had fitted a decat pipe and finally got my hks fitted with the Dc sports centre pipe

Also got some new front minted brake disc and pads

Changed the silver interior panels and spark plug cover to black looks loads better

Fitted some ad08 tyres
