After seven years of ownership and lots of time, money and effort I am considering putting my EP3 up for sale as I am not using it anywhere near as much as it should be.
When I purchased the car it was standard and has since evolved to the spec you see below.
ENGINE
Integra DC5 engine
Omega 87mm high compression pistons
Forged rods
Cosworth 1.1mm head gasket
Buddy Club P1 racing cams
Skunk 2 triple cut valves
Buddy Club racing spec valve springs
RBC inlet manifold
Kidd Racing exhaust manifold
Toda exhaust (silencer recently repacked)
Tegiwa M airbox
Clockwise sump baffle
KPro mapped by TDI North approx 270bhp
TRANSMISSION
Integra DC5 gearbox with LSD
Lightened and balanced flywheel
Excedy OEM spec clutch
Hybrid Racing shifter bushes
SUSPENSION
Buddy Club N+ coilovers
Buddy Club roll centre adjusters
Area Motorsport Caster adjustable top mounts
Camber adjustable bolts (front)
Camber adjustable arms (rear)
Area Motorsport Adjustable steering arms
Steering rack riser bracket
Superpro polybushes
Eibach hubcentric wheel spacers (front)
JDM rear ARB
Geometry setup by Area Motorsport
WHEELS
OEM wheels in anthracite
Federal 595 RSR tyres
BRAKES
Goodridge Braided lines
Brembo four pot calipers (front)
Brembo 324mm discs (front)
CL RC6 pads
OEM rear brake setup
INTERIOR
Corbeau Clubsport bucket seats
Schroth 4 point harnesses
Safety Devices full roll cage
OMP Corsica 330mm steering wheel
NRG quick release boss
SPA Designs Oil pressure/temp gauge
Shift-I progressive shift light
The engine and box came out of a friend of mines DC5 that he was breaking and as you would expect the additional power and JDM LSD transformed the car.
It is 15 years old and as such has the odd battle scar and a slightly less than red milano bonnet, but due to being for the track I decided against spending money on paintwork as it would have been tempting fate!
To that end there is a small dent in the nearside rear quarter panel which was present when I bought it from its previous owner and unfortunately a kind individual has put a scratch on the passenger door. The wheels could do with a full decontamination as the RC6 pads do batter them somewhat but they are not kerbed. I'm not going to list every imperfection as their significance are subjective to potential buyers but feel these are worth mentioning. There's no rust or rot that I am aware of.
I had the car MOT'd last weekend so it has just shy of 12 months left.
I know a lot people say this but I genuinely do not want to sell the car but am having trouble justifying having it sat in the garage. There are a lot of EP3's available but this has had no expense spared and is a formidable opponent for most things on a track day.
To my mind I would hope it would be worth around £6500 but welcome opinions on the value as it will help me decide whether to sell or hang on to it.
