i purchased in jan 2011 a 2005 night hawke black ep3 in mint condition the plan was to keep it standard but that lasted 2 minutes, then about march 2011 at santa pod i destroyed my clutch down the strip i managed to get her home though thats when the majority of the modifications came.

the pictures are from various meets and shows ie JDM north meet, Santa pod fast

hi all just an update

got the civic back from 8 speed at darwen and had a new exedy stage 1 clutch, competition lightened flywheel, Mfactory lsd, engine mount inserts and valve clearances done and all i can say is WOW

i wasnt after the flywheel changing but due to the fact my clutch was totaly knackered its screwed the flywheel up and took some major chunks out of so had the flywheel replaced.

the gearbox feels amzing after the oil change oh and i got a cheaky treat aswell and bought a skunk2 gearknob

the setup has totaly changed the car is miles better so much grip in corners and the engine mounts have stop engine movement and wheel hop.

id just like to say a huge thank you to stevie at 8 speed hes done a brilliant job and the service he provides is the dogs bollox

Many thanks Lib, it was a pleasure mate.

Thanks for your custom, it is a appreciated!!
