Hondata'd EP3 Type R
Ill be honest with you, I've done 4 miles since lowering it, so cant really comment. I genuinely feel lower to the ground, my mate said its bumpier in the back.
Its a terrible pic I admit, it looks so much better lowered subtle. I didnt want it dropped on its arse but im well chuffed with how its sitting, hated the arch gap standard
172, Focus
Yours does look like a pretty nice example too!
we need our own EP3 section on here methinks

The owners club ones or Skirt ones?

On a flat its lower at the front than the back slightly, Its on the drvie with handbrake on so looks lower.
IT was only lowered on Saturday night so it should settle a bit.

Owners club one.
TTRS & V50
Engine bay bling is gash tbh. So are any owners club stickers imo.
But the springs lower it spot on. No lower, no higher. EP3's look pants low low regardless of my username.

Minor Update
Had new discs and pads on the front, 300mm Slotted Discs and EBC Red Stuff Pads All Fitted now, but no pics of them fitted.
Also Got some E-Tech Caliper paint to tidy up the calipers on my week off:
And a Skunk2 Heavyweigh Gear Knob
Its alot heavier than I thought lol!
Tyres, MOT and Tax and then I'll probably get a K-100 and MAnifold/B Pipe with stock back box.
Another Idea I've got is to get a Double DIN HU, Smooth the Fascia adapter in and get the centre console sprayed and laquered in Cosmic Grey like the exterior?

Your going to think Im taking the piss, but it honestly feels easier to get into gear with the heavier knob lol

That is a mighty impressive knob you have there! I'll feel inadequate next time i use mine 
Hondata'd EP3 Type R
About the only time my knob gets compliments...

Couple of boring Jobs:
Its maintainance time now
So That means
6 Months Tax
MOT
Tyres (Gone for some cheapish Falken 912's, seem to have good reviews and are correct fitment)
Serivce.
For the Service I've had the Gearbox Oil, Brake Fluid done within the past month, and I dont need the Ar Filter, So I'm going to do it myself, and get the Valve Clearences checked with the MOT.
So I've bought:
Oil
Oil Filter
Spark Plugs
Pollen Filter
I need to pick up a fuel filter too.
So Hopefully, I should be Serviced, Motted, Taxxed and Tyres which should mean Its shouldnt "need" any money spending on it.
Barring any catastrophes come MOT time (its only done 4k since last 1), I should be able to get my Camber Arms fitted and FRSU. A Wheel Refurb and this

Had no idea you were modifying this and totally missed this thread. It looks awesome mate, like the mods so far too.
Owners club sticker does not look good though, quarter of the size and it'd be fine.

Yea I really am going to try and get some smaller owners club ones! Cost me a Tenner they did lol!
The eventual modification list is pretty large, I've made the mistake of sticking it all in an Excel file with prices etc and when its all laid out in money, it doesnt seem worth it as my shopping list is £2500 =/
I think once the calipers are painted (black), the Suspension is set up with camber arms and a JDM ARB, an Engine Strut brace to finish off the engine bay. Then Refurb the wheels and stick a double DIN in, Ill be happy with the actual car. That little lot is over £700 though!
I can then look at potentially increasing the power. I cannot justify/afford to go Forced Induction, But I would definately like the V-Tec engagement point lowering, So perhaps an RBC Inlet, a Japspeed 421 Manifold, and either a B Pipe or complete cat back, coupled with a K100 and some mapping time, I should have a pretty decently performing Type R, without spending "fortunes".

Booked it in for a MOT on Thursday morning, gave it a wash today and noticed this:
When I bought it, there was a 1mm crack in the bumper. Each week it appears to get a bit bigger, and there are many hairline cracks coming off it. ITs quite bad now, So I need to get it done.
Now this car is in extremely good condition with the exception of the wheels and this crack. The wheels are getting done soon.
What sort of money do you think this would cost?
The 2nd line isnt cracked right through BTW, I've flexxed it a little to show in the pic.
