I just picked up my EP3 yesterday, and spent all day buzzing around the highlands in the sun. Epic day.

Heres a few photos of my new steed.

Yeah man, the mudflaps are coming off today!

Think I need to have the tracking done. The more I look at it, the more I think the front right has positive camber...
 
Cheers guys!

Update - Hondata airbox mod done. Mudflaps have been binned. Spoon filter ordered. Spoon springs will be ordered as soon as I get paid.

Does anybody know places in Scotland that can do FRSU? What camber arms and bolts would you reccomend?
 
anywhere should be able to do an FRSU as you can give then the specs.

Ive got SPC i think and had no issues
 
Beautiful car mate.

I actually like the mud flaps on it... Did you actually bin them? If not do you fancy donating them to a good home? :)
 
Here's a fun idea for my rocker cover. This may be beyond my skill level....

And yes, I know it's a B18C, not a K20A. I wasn't paying enough attention.

Anybody know if you can get wrinkle finish paint in brown?
 
Lovely car fella :). Is that the sky bridge in the background ? I've been up that way a couple of times this year :) glencoe ,Kinlochleven loop stunning roads and scenery !
 
It's the kessock bridge by inverness. Aye great roads around the west coast, the ctr was built for the highlands!

I'm going to have a look for wrinkle paint and do some experimenting, I think just the brown in wrinkle could give it some Domo-like fluffy texture. But you could be right Danga, it might look AWFUL.
 
Hang on a minute. I was cleaning my engine bay when I noticed the shape of the injector cover.

It's Domo!

I'll do something else with the rocker cover. This is too perfect an opportunity to miss.
 
I just got off nightshift, flying mail to Edinburgh and East Midlands. It's currently 4:31 am. It's getting light outside. I'm BUSHED. Usually, around now I would enjoy a good solid 8 hours, however, I saw my nice shiny new exhaust being loaded in East Midlands, so the postie will be round in 4 hours knocking on the door asking me to put an unitelligable scrawl on his stupid little pad thingy. If I'm out cold and don't answer the door, he'll take my new toy to the depot and I won't get it until it's too late to fit before back to work tonight.

Gah.
