Out with the old, in with the Cosmic!

Pretty sure the wheels will be going purple yeah! 215/40/17s and a 30mm drop I think will do nicely.. As for this car, mechanically it's solid, rust wise there's nothing but a tiny bit of surface rust staring on the sills, and obviously the dents I put on my very first post which obviously can be sorted so I'm warming to the idea of keeping this car.

Also thinking about getting a genuine spoon from the Tegiwa site as I can't imagine the sportex is doing much for performance?

My new daily, EP3

So my discs and pads were really in need of changing so got round to that today!

Not good

Shiny

Also had a look underneath because of why Jim said on last page, looks pretty solid underneath just a tiny bit of surface rust

That's all for now! Hopefully see some of you at japfest

Took about 10 mins to do both! I don't remember mine being so tight? Used an average sized ratchet to get it off!

My new daily, EP3

So I had a change of plans, I recently found out my girlfriend is pregnant, so I chose the cheaper option and sold the evo 8s in part exchange for some gloss black type r wheels, put some 215s on and I'm happy with the outcome, always wanted a stealth'd out car

also for my birthday just passed got tints and a sun strip, so now due to the baby on the way I'll just be doing little things, like getting rid of small dents and a new front bumper due to the crack.. So yeah slower updates from now! But I still intend to carry on

New wheels and tints

Sean!

I love these threads where you see the car bought back to life. Great work keep it up. Looks like a tight motor still.

Marshall-EP3 · Jun 5, 2015

Cheers mate, you wouldn't believe what I payed for it haha.. Also forgot to add this video.. Was on the way to Essex and bumped into a convoy of ep3s and an fn2 had some fun through the tunnels!

Not much of an update but got tired of the rubbish carbon wrap centre as it was peeling and looked cheap so sprayed my spare one satin black! Much cleaner looking ..

Also got a nice rolling shot of it now it's all stealth with the shiny wheels with wider tyres and tints

The tints make a massive difference with a baby.

It also means you don't need any of this nonsense in your window:

Had a bit of bad luck this weekend

went for a drive with a friend and an uninsured driver with no license decided to try overtake 4 cars me being at the front, which resulted in him nearly hitting oncoming traffic, so he decided to try push me over... Having my pregnant girlfriend in the car you can imagine I wasn't happy

Made him follow me to a local tesco car park where me and my friend blocked him in and called the police, they seized his jag and I managed to get £400 off them..

So anyway, damage was my freshly painted rim, wing, the door and a crack in front bumper.. Manage to quickly source a wing and door and got them fitted.. So far has cost me £150 so just need an alloy refurb and new front bumper and it will be sorted.

Also touched up the wheel for now.

Before

After!

So yeah. All sorted! Hopefully can get on with a few more mods now

Nice ride, the tinted lights make the back look quite mean.

What did you use for tinting the lights?

Cheers

Some tint spray from halfords, then did it myself in about an hour on a nice sunny day. Comes out really light at first then just keep spraying until it gets as dark as you want

After reading you updates I had a look at the 6TWO1 YouTube channel and I have to say I loved it mate. Really like the car, not sure about the blue H but each their own
