This list of mods are to change the car as an all rounder that enhance performance but also the looks and daily usability. Olly has done a lot of modifications to his EP3 Type R over the years but this list is what he thinks are the most important things that you should focus on to get the most out of the car in all aspects. This list is ordered in “importance” order. With the least important first. It starts with a refreshed or new rocker cover, this freshens up the engine bay and gives the car a more new feel just by looking at it. A Mugen Style Spoiler is next and this is the best aesthetic mod you can do to the exterior of the EP3. We then move inside the car for the double din head unit with CarPlay or Android Auto and some upgraded seats for comfort and support. It is then onto power upgrades, both the inlet manifold and 4 2 1 exhaust manifold are important additions to the car when going for the most power with an ECU Remap. More importantly, and something you should change as soon as possible, is an intake or induction kit and a cat back exhaust or even a blackbox. This makes the car far more enjoyable to drive and means you car really clearly hear the VTEC crossover. Most importantly for this car is the handling. They are already great from Honda but with good tires, springs or coil overs, a fast road set up and a Limited Slip Differential, the EP3 is elevated to another level!

I love an EP3 I'm a massive fan of your build. Your channel is what convinced me to buy mine in the end. When I got mine I fully intended to modify it but with how much I enjoy it stock and with how few miles it has on the clock (under 46k!) I've left it alone.

[@myrealnamedoesntfit]

Man. On my 250k mile EP3, I'm just wondering when I'll find the time to address all the normal wear and tear items. Hopefully this summer, but I've been saying that for the past 5 years. Best stock car I've ever owned, just keeps going.

[@OllyRoss]

That is pretty good going man! They love to carry on going! Probably worth looking into the perishable bits though. They could cause you more problems in the future if you don’t start ticking them off. Such a great car though isn’t it!? Smash its head in and it still works perfectly

[@edbayly]

Thanks for inspiring my build mate. Awesome vids and great advice, Mine is geting mapped on Thursday! 🎉

[@iainstewart6200]

I would suggest some form of brake upgrades also

[@TheMightyBHD]

Nice video dude ! as a non Honda owner looking to dip his toe into buying one with little car modding experience , this is a great informative video :)

[@jonmcclane7433]

Greetings from Indiana, you have a beautiful Honda. I’ve tuned my 8th Gen Civic Si, and added a Catback Exhaust and AEM Cold Air Intake and you’re right it transforms the Car.

[@pirotehs]

I have good tires on mine. LSD could be good upgrade. Nothing else is "must do" on this list. Stock car is good.

[@brickhead48]

Air Intake Bigger Inlet Manifold Exhaust Decat Manifold Remap to ~240hp Then get some coilovers and boom, you're sorted

[@Jay-dn4pd]

Can u remember what measurements u adjusted your coilovers to? Sits really nice 👊🏻

[@chillfill88]

Just got a EK today😊 big project incoming. Has been sitting for 13 years 😅

[@OllyRoss]

Siiiick! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@hams2k677]

Holy fuck that spoon exhusst sounds sick af

[@east83music]

sick ep3! 👌🏽

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! Appreciate it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@j_jc18pl24]

Working on beefing mine up now suspension wise, I’ll definitely be getting a spicy alignment 🫡

[@OllyRoss]

Nice one! I have a video on all the bits that make these handle so great if you want all the sauce? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpXSnqiPgriciKMsi=gVW_ipARb4uljdlH

[@muradali237]

I've got most of those things you've suggested except lsd (need a good reason to drop gearbox) and inlet manifold. It's hard to find a good inlet for a decent price these days so it's delaying me from getting a map.

[@WilshysVids]

i have mine at motion just waiting for an inspection and quote ,

[@K03sport]

I think the eyeball plate delete should be on the list 👀👀👀

[@irelandshane1984]

No lightened flywheel or final drive? I have a CL7 Euro R with these and wakens the car up!! Still to map it and get exhaust and intake etc but might be worth considering. My cars a daily 👍

[@WilshysVids]

whats the total cost excluding the car payment ,, as in the restoration and mods

[@manxracer5541]

Tegiwa strut brace would finish engine bay off nice clears the tegiwa induction too....

[@OllyRoss]

I think it covers too much up in the engine bay on these. I like the clean look for this car. the S2000 needed one though

[@driver3490]

@@OllyRossYeah i think it's also pointless for a daily driving machine.

[@manxracer5541]

@driver3490 going off that then may as well keep the car stock ffs ha

[@JordzyBrev]

@@driver3490got a strut brace on my type r and it’s my daily, handles unreal

[@eJay9oh7]

So I got excited before doing research and bought the spoon down pipe and exhaust is there a way to get 3 in headers and keep the spoon cat to make gains

[@OllyRoss]

The short answer is no... however, I am pretty sure the Spoon header has no cat in it, it's just a resonator. I don't think the 4-2-1 will make too much difference though. Adding a 3" cat back would probably be enough to see gains. Each exhaust port of K20 cylinders is 2" I believe.

[@ItsBuster]

I'm going for Eibach Pro-kit springs. i dont want my too low as they scrape over bumps etc. What suspension set up do you recommend?

[@ItsBuster]

- can you map these and still get that loud crossover?

[@dominicrichardson5546]

Bought an EV1 2.0 type S a few weeks ago and I'm looking forward to building it into a 4 door type R

[@hondahondahonda5964]

I’ve already started only get partial vtec though unless you kswap

[@dominicrichardson5546]

@@hondahondahonda5964 my plan is to either swap the full A2 cylinder head on or swap just the cams and make a vtec killer. Much cheaper than swapping the whole engine

[@hondahondahonda5964]

@@dominicrichardson5546 I’d probably start with cold air induction my type s has a decat Toyo 421 and it makes world of difference next for me is the induction then eBay special splitter and skirts just for looks I guess it’s all about budget really but tbh type s is a good car I have switched out the seats and brakes stuff like that and it’s a type r on a budget hahaha 🤣

[@dominicrichardson5546]

@hondahondahonda5964 I've already got a tegiwa intake as I found one cheap on FB, might do exhaust but I don't want to be a stereotypical loud honda guy.

[@babayaga5544]

Which brakes do you run?

[@Playboyap]

Is this a k20a3 ? Can I put these same mods on an a3 ?

[@Mgshooter]

Where can I get the power steering fluid cotton bottle cover ?

[@OllyRoss]

Mine is a Skunk2 one but there are loads of brands that make them. Just search for: reservoir sock and they should come up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@josekanario5494]

Hola, tengo el skunk2 exhaust y no esos petardazos and dont pops like yours. I have to ECU remap for get this pops or its just skunk2 echaust?😊

[@OllyRoss]

Mine doesn’t actually pop or flame anymore, that was just one run on the dyno. I believe that it needs to be mapped in if you want it like I had it with my Spoon exhaust. It may do it without a ECU remap if you have a 4-2-1 manifold

[@josekanario5494]

@OllyRoss ohh ok thanky for your time. I'm thinking about buying the FK8. Have you had a chance to try it?
