Hi everyone my names Richie. I'm from Co. Wicklow in Ireland and said i'd join to get some information on Honda's and thoughts along my build and read along other peoples builds and any teething issues along the way.
I drive a 2007 Accord Type S for a daily driver and an EP3 Type R for a weekend / blow off steam car.
I've only got the Type S about a week so since getting this i just added wind deflectors as otherwise its all good and fits my comfort levels for a daily driver. I don't want to take the comfort or fuel economy out of it.
The EP3 i have about a year and I've done some work & upgrades already to this one with plenty more along the way.
I've to date done the following:
Upgraded Honda Clutch master cylinder
Hardrace Engine mounts
Hardrace front bushings
Hardrace balljoints
Hardrace inner tie rods
Hardrace outer tie rods
Hardrace front anti rollbar bushes
Hardrace front anti rollbar drop links
GReddy Oil Temp, Oil Pressure & Water Temp Digital/analogue gauges
Oil filter sandwich plate
Blox Air filter (K&N one that was on it when i bought it was way past it)
Carbon Fibre air intake cover
New Excedy Clutch 3 piece kit and input shaft bushing
New gearbox oil seals
Gearbox oil change with OEM Honda gearbox oil
Engine Oil & Coolant Flush
New Motul 5w30 Fully synthetic motor oil
OEM Honda oil filter
New Iridium tip spark plugs
New OEM Honda knock sensor
New OEM Honda Lambda Sensor
New Coolant temperature sensor
New Uniroyal Rainsport 5's all round
The EP3 had a K&N Typhoon air filter system when i bought it and coilovers which i will be removing to fit standard suspensions back onto it with lowering springs.
I'm sure there's loads more but that's all i can think of at the minute. I'll get a build thread up with some pictures of work done along the way.
Still a good bit of work to do on it mainly to the rear end suspension setup, some bodywork to clean it up and then a gearbox rebuild as my 4th gear syncro has started to give trouble.
I've had a few Honda's in my past, an EM1 coupe, an EJ9 and a CL Accord. Nothing along the EP3 lines thou.
