Yo who's DC5 is that?
-
MTEC + Mintex pads will be fine, you drove my EP3
-
Cars up for breaking so my carbon bonnet, spoiler and bits like that are for sale as well as the anti social exhaust so give us a shout , thanks @Roj for calling dibs on a few big bits from it, good parts of her shall live on in the OEM+ MB6. Next car choice has been made but I don't want to say anything till it's done. It's Japanese and turbocharged and has many more horsepowarz than my EP3 did. Mum's gonna kill me.
-
Yes then Roj! Can't wait for you to update with the type R swap you've got from me Oh. Is my EP3 going to good use? Find out in the next episode of...
-
This crossed my mind on more than one occasion
-
She's a gonner. Front subframe and chassis so bent it's not even funny. K20A2 still fine though and box.. Watch this space. It won't be a quick recovery, probably be by March so for now I'm back in my 325i till I can get what I want done.. Done Thanks all for the support was a very scary moment for me and my mates, car kept us alive and that's all that matters, drive safe! Hehehehe kswapped hatch..
-
Let me just say, rear left blowout, dual carriageway speeds, dual carriageway curve, and two reservations (hit one sideways which then spun the car 180 into the central one) How the thing still bloody starts, drives, steers, gearbox works, both headlights even still work, I have no clue.
-
Thanks guys, yeah we're all okay, assessed the car and it is save-able so just trying to see whether it's worth fixing it, or buying an EP3 with a bottom end knock and swapping my perfectly healthy K20/box into it, or Kswapping an older car.. But having been in this situation, I'm glad I had an EP3 cause it kept us safe where I feel an older civic wouldn't have, and I think it's time to cool down a bit and go for a slower more showy build.. but I do love my EP3. Decisions, decisions.
-
Yes then Andy!
-
Minor injury to my left foot from clutch pedal and right shoulder from seat belt pulling me back, usual whiplash but we're all okay, car might live again it depends if I wanna put the money into it, K20 and box etc still works fine so might just chuck that into something else, we'll see
-
Let's just say, RIP. It kept me and my friends safe. We're lucky to be alive. Moving onto the next one.
-
MTEC grooveds with mintex pads here and I give them hell and it's been fine for 18 months, noisy but fine.
-
New wheels look good, let us know how the tyres are! I'm planning to switch to AD08Rs next set though so would be good to see how a high performance street tyre copes on track with your EP3 Loving the direction this is going down!
-
Well with my current mods of intake, straight through true 2.5" exhaust it definitely feels like it has more get up and go, especially compared to a friends standard EP3 I had a simulation test with, but I wanna try and get it dyno'd where I intend on getting it mapped (Eurospec) and get a proper before readout even though I know their dyno underreads, but if I get the whp figure it's easy to convert to bhp I'm guessing 210ish atm, and mates with similar power cars/cars that have similar power to weight seem to agree, but we'll see when the mapping happens!
-
Thanks! Yeah I'll be pestering him as he wants to break his back to standard to sell it anyway, already giving me mates rates so I'm more than happy with the deal! The fact it's a good brand manifold too also puts me at ease a bit as I've ran cheaper manifolds on past cars and the quality has always been 50/50! Yeah I've been thinking about getting the mappers to fit the manifold for me, or fitting it near their premises as I don't want to drive 20-30 odd miles at national speed limit in a car that's running really lean/rich and lumpy and cause damage to the engine/ECU I've spent so long wanting to get mapped up!
