I noticed on Facebook Stevie had been posting out some goodies

Excellent mods fella, the car will be totally transformed with the LSD

Yeah I cant wait just want to drive it again. But there's the clutch break in period too

Currently waiting in honda for a shim for the diff

Fitted Mfactory helical LSD and Exedy stage 1 clutch

Have wanted to do this mod for over a year and have finally managed to buy and have time to fit them
The car is now amazing to drive ! after taking it to the local test roundabouts the LSD makes it impossible to under steer the car no matter how much you are booting it. It does give you a hint of over steer but its strangely easy to get out of. Been taking it easy to bed clutch in so will need to wait a while and then take it to a track to release its true potential. The job off doing all was going fairly smoothly had a small 2 day delay for the differential shim from honda but that wasn't too bad. However i did foolishly fancy changing my clutch fluid which was a total nightmare :bumsmack:

For some reason went to bleed the clutch and lost all pressure and no matter how many times i bled the clutch could not get it back. I tried for an eternity to bleed it the conventional way and it simply didn't work. i began contemplating getting it recovered but took a risk bought a pressure bleeder and it sorted it out for me. So if you decide to bleed clutch just don't bother

Anyway I've taken lots of pics so here you go

Took front bumper off to avoid scratching it











Cant say i was suprised but was still upset to see that the clutch had so much life left in it

Beautiful

Small update, swapped my tegiwa socks for some genuine Spoon ones i think :scratch:
Replaced Washer jets with the overpriced Jazz ones

Desperate to get onto track again especially with the lsd. Keep finding myself trying to push it around roundabouts
However funds arent great atm so Will also be looking to sell the Harness bar, harnesses and springs once there off

Looks like you've been busy.. Dud you find that all hard to do?? I like getting my hands dirty but that just seemed past my ability..

I'm booked on oulton for November.. You coming back up??

[1812_s]

The hardest bit was bleeding the clutch. It took longer than everything else

I really want to come back up to oulton but I wont know if I can come until around October. If I do it would be a late last minute booking

[FunkyRemix]

Nice skills fitting your own clutch/lsd, will certainly have saved a few quid :bigthumb:

Top skills for doing it all yourself :salut:

Wish I could that LSD makes so much difference, best modification you can do to an EP3

Cool, be good to put your new additions through the mix

[1812_s]

Cheers guys
Main reason for doing stuff myself pure and simple is im a cheapskate who don't like paying for labour

The more you talk about oulton more I want to come .....guess ill just have to wait to know if I can come

Which meisterR coilovers you going for?

I've bought the ones in the group buy
They're the new design of meister r coilovers
Not super race if that's what you were asking

[1812_s]

Small update

Got some jdm mats for a good price of here and really like them
it really goes well with the red carpet






Next i bought a used J's racing tie bar of eBay

gave it a quick polish and then cleaned and undersealed the rear of the car

The gold ends could really do with repainting though





Random picture but she looked so clean





Unfortunately my brake seized up and i had to get my car towed home and rebuilt it with a ebay kit for £36. Im just hoping it stays fixed now











Also have this on the way
a replacement spoiler and another 2 a048 so now i have a set of 4 but need wheels to put them on


Still waiting for meister r coilovers......been almost 2 months i think :bad-words:
once thats done wont be much left to do other than some wheels and exterior bits
enjoy

this is going to be my 3rd carbon spoiler

i bough one from the same company but it didn't fit right. This is a replacement for that one and i have been assured it is a perfect fit
i noticed they do one in just a primer that is intended for people to spray which looks like a really good fit so i just hope this comes close

Anyway ill take lots of pics on the weekend after a wash of the fitment
