Hi thought I'd post up a progress blog for my 2006 NHB EP3. Previously built a 314BHP JRSC'd Premier EP3 that did a few track days, however sold that to purchase a house.
Moving on, bought the car in a tired state, 83K for a good price in May this year.
Fitted new steering wheel, interior grab inserts, Buddyclub short shifter, red floor mats, dash light bulbs, upgraded Pioneer speakers front & back with new headunit.
New number plate & JDM wind deflectors
Refurbished rear calipers, rear discs & pads, braided hoses, refurbed wishbones, powerflex full bush kit, Stoptech BBK, ABP Eibach springs, Eibach camber bolts & arms. Fitted by BroSport
M2 Toda style back box & R8BYB silenced b pipe
EBay HID 6000K kit
Evo 8 wheels - bargain however one was too badly buckled for repair. Got 2 from Rob at Area Motorsport needing a refurb..
CWM baffled sump, JDM refurbed rocker cover, Millers oil & Hamp filter all supplied & fitted by Area Motorsport. I fitted a Tegiwa induction kit with the fibreworx scoop too (terrible fitment on the scoop though)
Just had 5.86 M Factory final drive, M Factory LSD with the race pack upgrade, K24 6th gear & OEM clutch kit all fitted by Stevie @ Grinspeed. Awesome job as always (he fitted the JRSC to my old EP3).
Washed earlier on today (dirty again now! lol)
First trackday booked at Oulton on the 14th Feb - looking forward to getting out there again!
Need to order x4 semi slicks, get evo wheels refurbished, arch roll & a FRSU. And sort my brake pad rattle out, on my 2nd set of Stoptech pads and still no good..
Long term plans include cams/70mm RBC/header (got K100 & Skunk2 TB already). Also toying with the idea of a K24 conversion too but not 100% sure yet..
Comments welcome
Cheers,
Dan
