I am thinking

Fast Road Setup £165
Rear JDM ARB £150-£200 fitted esp if new drop links required
Hondata Air box mod Free
KN Drop in Air filter £50
Oil Change (including £30 labour or so)£80

£495

Can anyone think of any better mods for that money. You probaley can - but would like to see your thoughts. I am going spend £500 max tarting the car up.

My EP3 currently stock.

Go ITG for the filter and try and get a 2nd hand cheap short shifter if you can stretch to it.

no worries, they make such a difference to the car. Downchanging and engine braking are effortless, makes for a much more aggressive repsonse if you know what I mean, you can beat the car up a bit more. :salut:

JDM ARB installed now and my gosh the rear feels so much more planted and stiffer.

I am not sure if I am just imagining it but the car feels so much better!

Will keep you posted in the upcoming weeks how the EP3 fares!!
