Cheers for that mate, how long did it take you to do the detailing ? Yeah i'm sure once you get a taste of more power you'll be after a jrsc

did the gear shifter bushes and short shifter make a massive difference as i've got the bushes fitted and im thinking of getting a short shifter next

oh and the car looks spot on nice to see another cosmic that's well looked after some great upgrades too

[1812_s]

to be honest i wanted to know if they actually work so i fitted bushes on top of the tranny first and it felt shite, although once fitted with the short shifter felt good......i would say get a skunk 2 gear knob though as this i would say is one of my best mods

[1812_s]

Remap tomorrow :WOOT
So I Fitted Dc sports header and new sparks myself and got CPL to do my valve clearances

Had my Ep3 mapped at Eurospec 2000 today with a K100
Romain did a great good job and was a very friendly guy

The car was put straight on the dyno to see how much it was producing as is. First run it pulled up 209 hp which i was told by Ben was a high number to what they usually see with ep3's and my modifications. A good sign that the engine is strong and healthy

I had it mapped with the following modfications,
DC Sports Race header
DC sports catback 2.5" bore
Tegiwa carbon induction

What you think ?

very nice mate. [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Nice figures dude [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Night and day difference after they are mapped, mid range power is so much better

[1812_s]

cheers i was impressed with the figures too as its only exhaust and intake
yours is nice too

Cheers mate [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Little update....now i have had the car mapped i wanted to start making the car look nicer. since i have bought it the exterior has stayed fairly OEM. In order to spruce it up a bit ive gone and bought the following and a few extra stuff

JDM wind deflectors-Love these
JDM door sills
Carbon wrap for the bonnet- havent done it yet though
Buddyclub RCA- they were at a great price wont be fitted for a while though

Buddyclub RCA's





Next up was the JDM door sills of a forum member who makes them on here
Was really pleased with these for the cost and look nice imo

JDM door sills





JDM Wind deflectors

I really love these deflectors and think they look so much better than the heko ones

Before deflectors



After deflectors



Couple Random shots in a car park







Seeing as the JDM deflectors put a nice smile on my face im planning on getting some more exterior mods, looking at getting a Mugen rep wing and wrapping the hood.

Will also be looking for something to stiffen up the engine as after the map i feel the es insert aren't enough and thinking of options such as the powerflex gearbox mount and maybe the ETD
opinions needed

cars looking good mate, seems alot of the eurospec maps seem to have power drop off just before vtec :scratch:

[wadkins14]

Please don't ruin the exterior with sh*t carbon wrap!
If you can't afford real carbon then don't bother. The carbon wrap stuff looks soo bad!

A nice mugen style wing in real carbon or cosmic with a mugen front lip always work soo well on cosmic

[1812_s]

It is gloss carbon wrap if it helps
Was going to put it on and i dont like it save for mugen style one
Got my heart set on a mugen rear wing now though

[Cosmic-Dan]

As said fake carbon looks pants

My old ep3 with a carbon bonnet

Ill just put it on and see......probably end up getting a mugen one once i have enough
Still want some stiffer mounts though anybody have any ideas ?

I quite enjoy the 'vtec kick' though so im happy with it
