Krzys Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Right, so a couple of months ago I was getting moaned at for tracking Bob and people were worried about me wrecking or crashing the car. So my brother and I bought another EP3 to use purely as a track slut. Pictures from the sale advert: This was an M2 unsilenced cat-back, this fucker came straight off before we even fetched the car! Far too loud and wank! The day we picked it up. First comedy fault, not worth dealing with! Show plate for on the track! So we got the car back to my brothers house where it has sat for a couple of months doing fuck all. Until last weekend when we got all the servicing items together plus a sump baffle to drop in to get the car ready for it's first track day, which is in December! Fluids, filters, sump baffle, plugs etc etc Bob was supervising. Bob's old airbox and S2000 filter. Not bad for 137k, chain is tight, cams look decent! These looked original! So did the fuel filter, not good! Back together and all is well! What we did find was that we need new front brakes before the session rather than after, so I'm hopefully ordering a big brake kit today, we have fluid ready to change and braided lines on the way too! Radiator looks like it's ready for the scrap too so going to get one ordered ready! Track day is on Sunday December 13th at Donington Park should anyone fancy watching us kill or bin the car!

Krzys Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ha ha.. Nice one.Krzys 2 ep3sGreedy eh? It feels funny because Bob (the other one) was going to be an awesome all rounder, but now that's kind of redundant. Well I still plan to take it to the 'Ring at least! Dave might be too harsh to travel with eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4mza Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Bit off topic but hope you don't mind me asking, I fancy an EP3 soon and seeing you previous had MB6, can you tell me what it is like on fuel and maintenance costs compared to MB6?

Don't you already have one? I've seen your exact username on the TRO forums To answer your question. EP3 doesn't have as much range on a tank of fuel driving it normal but I'm pretty sure that's because it's smaller by 5 litres, I don't care what anyone says, I can't get more than 50 litres into mine but I need to run it dry and have a can of fuel handy to check Parts wise, I've always gone with better quality parts than the motor factors on items I think need it so I've always paid more but not had to visit the same job twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to keep my MB6 too for turbo project but want something modern for daily so was considering the EP3. Got to wait until summer, hope I will be decided on the colour lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
