Thought i would start a thread with my ctr, having recently bought it a month ago. Have always liked ep3's when they was first released but with being a fairly new driver at the time ownership had to wait but the wait has been worth it. Previously had a corsa gsi and fiesta st and dont come close to ctr.

When i bought the car it already had a toda dolphin tail exhaust system on it and only later to find out got kpro installed to BONUS!!!!

The last month since owning it i have fitted

Mugen geat knob
Led interior bulbs
Led side lights
Led number plate bulbs
Brake calipers painted red








Got the follo





Im waiting for the following items to be delivered

Tegiwa rear tow hook
Tegiwa lower brace
Wind deflectors
Set of oem ctr wheels getting refurbed in black.

Over the next few months going be looking at lowering it and getting tegiwa m

[smilie=karls_thumb.gif] dont forget to use the scissor jack for keeping up the Lca's while fitting the teg. :salut:

[Matto247]

[smilie=karls_thumb.gif] was wondering how to go about fitting is as couldnt find a how to when i done a search. So to confirm jack the car up, Support lca with Scissor jack undo bolt offer tie bar up and bolt back up and then repeat for other side ?

[Matto247]

finally got the wheels swapped over yesterday afternoon







going to refurb the other set now.

[Matto247]

Had my ep3 booked in at r motion for a full service valve clearence all oils and fluids changed. When I went to pick her up i was told that the car has got kpro installed. As you can imagine I was chuffed at this.

Which then made me to believe the car had been looked after and me do a bit of detective on some forums to see if I could find out anything about the car and i did found the previous owner and he still had some item's he removed off the car before selling. So I struck a deal and purchased them off him.

Could not wait to get this gruppe m fitted to hear the noise
Gruppe m
J's strut brace
Jdm matts
Pre facelift lights

[Ash4Lotte]

[Matto247]
