Waiting for the ferry back to the Isle of Man after a long two days driving from heysham to Essex and back to Liverpool, trusty sprinter in the back ground





Back home parked next to my parents EP3





Gave the engine back a quick clean up



Washed and polished



Yesterday treated it to some new rear brakes and power flex gearbox mount, had to change the exhaust over for the Manx registration test.



swapped it over to the oem wheels as the tyres were almost next, also sorted the squeeky front brakes.









Sitting pretty low on the front

Very nice. Can you tell me what was causing the front brakes to squeak as mine has just started doing it. Congratulations on the car.

they were binding slightly also. the pads just needed some copper slip on the back

What power is it currently putting out... any dyno print outs?

Engine spec sounds good

I use one of those shift lights pal good bit of kit. Very bright for day time which is ideal also auto dims at night. Stops you hitting the limiter so much so should help engine life. I found it a bit awkward to set up but that's probably me being a plank

Nice should be good, did it come with all the connectors etc? Easy enough to fit?

Not sure on the fitting mate as area motorsport fitted mine for me. Sorry I can't be anymore help. I downloaded the operating manual from the Internet to help me set it up. I found it a bit awkward but got there in the end.

[Collister]

Well I've took a turn on this. I seem another ep3 local to me it's an 04 facelift with less miles. The plan is to swap the jrsc and the other mods to my new car.

excuse the poor pics will get some better ones tomorrow

[MichaelEp3]

I do prefer the facelift (as I have one) but your leaving the best colour behind also
good luck with the swap !

I don't really mind I like both, the facelift means I can run an undertray splitter. I do like the red though
