N77's 30th ANNIVERSARY EP3 TYPE R

So on the 23rd June it was back down south, this time to catch the ferry over to Dunkirk, then straight though to Germany and in region of the ring, first stop to Adenau and then on to where I was staying in Baar.

We spent 5 days there, the VLR racing was on for the first few days so spent some time watching that, and then the tourist part opened and I got to have a go :)

I then decided to get another wheel but keeping OEM so I got a spare wheel and had it retrimmed by Royal Steering Wheels.

I had alcantara on the sides with leather on the top and the bottom with a red centre mark and it made slightly thicker.

Really pleased with it :)

My car has been off the road since JAE, got the MOT renewed and have put it in hibernation until next year.

I did purchase a couple of things ready for next year though :)

Tegiwa vented bonnet
A 2nd set of Evo wheels for some track days
MJC Automotive black intake hose

I did also have a Skunk2 Ultra manifold to fit but decided it wasn't for me, so have sold it and now looking for an OEM RBC or maybe an RRC.

A bit of graffiti art of my car

You were pretty close to my Stagea that day, was pretty much just outside of the Pit Stop Cafe :)
 
Just got done reading this beast of a thread. What an amazing car man, there isn't anything else I would have done differently to be honest, attention to detail is spot on! I think the only thing left now is to make the front look a bit more modern/aggressive? Maybe facelift headlamps and bumper with a splitter?

Aweome never the less and I will be using some of those ideas if you don't mind :p
 
Blimey, didn’t realise how long it’s been since I last posted any update on this...

It’s not been out the garage until the other day, those are the last couple of events I went to last year, BTCC at Silverstone and also Mimms at Santa Pod earlier in the year.

It’s now on axle stands to sort out my exhaust, have removed the M2 system, back box is still like new and the b pipe is okay apart from the big massive bend in it haha

I have a brand new Tegiwa system to go on along with some new Lower control arms for the rear, as well as some new rear discs and pads, that I replaced after pinching them to put on the other. I will look to clean up the calipers at the same time as well, just going plain silver like the front Brembos.

I decided to part with the Skunk2 Ultra inlet as I didn’t want to go too far from OEM and was intending on getting a RBC but decided not too when I got the 2nd ep3.

Now I wish I had kept the Ultra intake haha but I will be tuning the engine on the other one now so will leave this one as it is... I sold the rear lip and front lip I had, but I have now got another rear lip that’s already black, so will paint part of it silver and keep the section around the fins black.

Will update it with a couple of plans I have for it soon as well as the bits I have still not fitted.

Just read through this post and the time and effort you have put in to this car is an inspiration to me. I hope one day I can get my 30th as clean as yours.

Same here. Just as I was getting happy about my plans and actions on my EP3, then I saw this... I was amazed and ashamed at the same time. :D The level of attention this car gets is just off the scales, and all credit goes to N77 for it. It really was an inspiration to read through all this, as a plus it gave me some good ideas on mods.

One, that I cannot find are the side vent covers. Any help with those would be very much appreciated!

Which ones? The silver or the carbon ones?

I bought both off the forum many moons ago, I do still have the silver ones somewhere

The silver ones. Does the original source still work, or they are maybe for sale?

Needs a good old clean inside as it’s filthy in there, outside is not too bad but has been sat outside mine for a good few weeks...

Looks smart! Where'd you get the center caps for your wheels? I have a set of Evo 8 wheels and I can't find any caps that fit! Much appreciate any info. Cheers! :)

They are the original Mitsubishi ones with some H gel stickers on top
