Hi All
Names Icky, from Glasgow!
After 2 years ownership of an EP2 sport, I recently became the proud new owner of a Premier Edition Cosmic Grey EP3 w/FSH. Absolutely love this car, great to drive and really loving the REAL V-TEC!

So far I've re-installed all the audio from the EP2.

This Included:
. Kenwood ddx-4028bt Double Din Headunit
. Vibe Blackair 6" Component Speakers And Tweeters
. Vibe CBR10 Sub-woofer
. Vibe Slick 4 Way Amp
. Infinity 6x9 Kappas

Also bought and fitted in 8k HID's w/led bulbs all round.

Got a couple of things in mind as time goes on, such as:
. Gruppe-M/ARC Induction Kit
. RRC Inlet Manifold
. J's Racing Front Strut Brace w/J's Torque Damper
. JDM Wind Deflectors
. Eibach Pro-Street Coilovers
Skunk2 Gearknob

Here's a couple of pictures after a full detail earlier on today!










All comments and opinions welcome! Let me know what you guys think!

nice car in best colour imo .....get a tegiwa induction its cheaper than gruppe m and the same thing....and get the suspension done first and a frsu ( one of the best mods) [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Mint! [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Engine/gearbox mount inserts would be a good choice instead of the J's. :bigthumb:

Thanks a lot guys, appreciate it [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Modded EP3's are cool and all, but I always like seeing a nice clean original example, looks good mate :salut:

Major Changes To The Interior

Bought this last week:



Really love the feel of it compared to the standard one, hoping to complement it in the future with a Buddyclub short shifter.

Here's a couple of pictures of the skunk2 fitted along with my double din head unit and vibe tweeter components. Big shout out to my mate Gordon for fixing me up with all the audio! [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]




Should also be getting my Clifford alarm system put back into the car by the end of the week. And I need to start collecting bits and bobs very soon for the service I'm planning on doing myself.

As always, comments and opinions welcome!!

Looking good mate. I had a Skunk2 shifter on mine aswell, made a good difference.

Other interior mods I recommend are JDM mats and the DC5 footrest & pedals

[Mooney]

Where did you get jdm mats for they look fresh

[Mr Anderson]

They were new, but there's usually some on eBay or here

[A19XVV]

Got a milano pre facelift mate with my private plate which is my user name lol! Not been in the town in ages but maybe head up this weekend!

[millhouse01]

Welcome mate. Car looks sweet. About the suspension mate I would go for kw coilovers variant 1. They're the best coilovers to get for the kind of weather we have up here. They're weather and salt tested and don't carrode as much as the rest of the brands plus they are really great for fast road and track use. They are a bit pricer than most of the other brands but will defo outlast them. Iv had mine on for about 3 months and they still put a smile on my face. Also do you have a particular garage you get all your work done ie servicing and stuff like that? If not then I strongly recommend Andy Baird at Automek, he loves his Honda's and is probably the best person to take you ep3 to.

[Kris888]

Looking good icky same as mine [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] (Prem)

Need to get a photo shoot sorted of the two haha?
