Gaz’s turbo ep3

[Gaz85]

So yeah I am the lucky new owner of this, it cost me all of £16. It got delivered on Thursday evening and I’ve managed to do a 100 odd miles.
Low boost is pretty savage enough but 440bhp in high boost is just mental! The roads have been too damp to really see what it’s like in high boost other than a wheel spinning animal!

[Rojer]

Low boost is fun enough not sure what numbers it is, I can’t wait to get a dry day to see what high boost is like.

the screamer pipe is just mental on boost is ridiculous.

Lucky bugger! So jealous.

Boosted Hondas are so much fun.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Congrats. Keeping it?

i am starting to find out how much fun they are

currently have this, a golf r estate, a v8 s4 vert and a 330e so the wife is going a bit daft. S4 is going wanted a v8 before they went and wanted to try a convertible so ticked some boxes! I think I’ll keep it until august next year and see how much ive used it.

 

[AdDaMan]

Well done. I knew another person on here would win soon enough!
That turbo is utterly ridiculous for that setup though. Far too big.

If you need any help or advice give us a shout. I have some experience with turbo hondas.

the turbo is huge, couldn’t believe how big it was when I opened the bonnet.

thanks for the offer, I will keep that in mind

 

[_Tom]

Really like that. Top win.

 

[Danith]

how many tickets did you buy?

Looks clean to be fair mate! If I were you I'd flog all the turbo bits off it, return to NA and you've got yourself a mint Ep3 and £4k ish of turbo cash!

 

[imprezaworks]

Remember watching a YouTube video of a Red ep3. Can’t remember whether it was turbo or what. Running like 435 iirc.

Christ it was quick. Don’t recall anything taking over it.

My memory for important stuff is crap. This stuff surprisingly good lol

What you reckon it’s worth as a car? I know your pretty knowledgable on these.

it’s in pretty decent condition for 16 years old that’s for sure.

it’s so quick it’s silly, can’t help but laugh when your driving it

With it being in such good condition and going by the spec it'll be worth £8-£10k easy.

 

[Danith]

I actually think they're more desirable as an NA. As a turbo it's a bit of fun for someone only to break later on and make some ££.

It looks to be a premier edition too and decent spec/mods. It'll depend how crusty it is underneath really. Hopefully not very!

 

[JB21]

Congrats on the win. A 440hp ep3 must be bonkers, my old standard one struggled with traction so god knows what this would be like.

That’s what I had in my head so that’s decent

yeah I need to have a proper look but it looks good. Sorry 4 tickets to answer your other question

 

[Danith]

If you do sell it, just don't do it on FB! Civic pages are full of gobby kids.

A genuinely clean premier is very much in demand these days.

 

[Rojer]

Just avoid Facebook in general.

 

[Gaz85]

Think I’ll keep it till the summer to have a play when the weather is better then sell it. Probably as a whole as I don’t have the ability to return it back to standard myself

That'll fetch good money, to a breaker or an enthusiast.

What do you think it is worth?

I was looking at this one the other day - https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/lis...953418&cId=10983715&cId=10986376&cId=11044196

Sort the wheels and it'd be lovely.

 

[imprezaworks]

Read the description. Looks nice.

 

[Gaz85]

Well the gearbox went after about 100 odd miles, the competition covered all the costs which was a full gearbox rebuild and a few other odd jobs needed. £1,900 later!

I thought it best to sell it on, so this week it went.

How much for mate?

 

[Gaz85]

How much for mate?

£8k which given the parts it’s worth all day probably could have got more but was more interested in an easy sale

 

[AdDaMan]

I'd say thats a very good price given the stock engine.
