[@riskzearts]

Indi seems such a nice guy, good video luke 👍

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

He's a good egg!! He should be back on soon with his E92 M3! :)

[@JesseCollingham]

Another absolute cracking video mate you’re a natural at all this 👌🏼🔥

[@fasteee]

Hey Jesse get some more ep3 vids up mate! Do a 0-60 vid? Fly bys etc ? Make it as much showing the car in action as poss

[@fasteee]

And I think you should go for the same splitter as this ep3 in this vid ? Area Motorsport uppaclick splitter or whatever it's called it's the smartest for an ep3 and actually has a big impact on downforce

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you 'My brother from another mother' 💙

[@GamerJRD]

Very good vid... enjoyed it nice to see some track action to 👍

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you matey! 💙

[@LiamGiles94]

I like this, the more track focus works well!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you bud! 💙 106 on here next yeah? 👀

[@LiamGiles94]

GEARED! If you want to do a video on it you’re more then welcome. Wait till I have finished rebuilding it. It’s a pile of parts at the min.

[@EllisBurt_MTB]

Great video!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you bud! 💙💪🏻

[@nomessininc.]

nice to see a track car being reviewed in the correct environment

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you mate!! 💙 Have to sort getting the R32 on here one of the days if you fancy it?

[@nomessininc.]

GEARED! When its stops being broken for 5 mins of course man 👌

[@Keys.Bradley.Racing]

I miss my EP3, want another one!!! Maybe when (or if) the S2000 is done I'll have to join you on a trackday again, no crashing next time hahaha

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Haha do it! 😉 Yes.... definitely no crashing 😆🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nbk_no1_killa]

Great video mate! Think you should ask area motorsport if you can review their endurance ep3!!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you mate 💙 I'll have a word 😉

[@ep3ash]

Like where you're going with this channel Luke, nice idea👍👍

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you matey! 💙💙 Hopefully get the CRX on one of the days 😁

[@ep3ash]

You'd be welcome to, so long as my ungly mug doesn't get featured in it 😂👍

😆😆 Ahh behave, you'll be sound... I'll blur it out 😘😆

[@DiegoRodriguezAW11]

Congrats for this great set of videos you are sharing Luke! Very enjoying them and wish you the best with the channel 👍👍 Im curious about why you say you would go NA coming from an epic turbo build as it was your EP3 or why Indi ended with an NA EP3 coming from a great SC DC5. Cheers!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

So sorry I've just seen this mate! Thank you very much for the kind words 💙 Having a turbo is great, but the drivability of it is very different to NA. You can drive NA harder, they're alot more predictable and ultimately a lot more reliable... Not having to worry about things like heat or other parts of the car being under more pressure and breaking was always in the back of my head 😊

[@DiegoRodriguezAW11]

@@GEARED_MrLucas no worries mate! Thx a lot for your answer. Cheers!!

[@t-ruckerj]

Well done luke , I enjoyed it civic likes to sing and sits good . Cheers Jaime Taylor

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Cheers Jamie! 💙 Civic was really well setup 👌🏻 Get your 6 on here soon yeah! 😉

Indi looks properly uncomfortable Infront of a camera 😂. Good video bud 👍🏼

[@InderjitSingh-ev2cw]

I was abit shy tbh 🤣🤣

[@joshwatton9335]

@@InderjitSingh-ev2cw it's all good mate. I hate being in front of a camera too 😂

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Me too 😆😆 Its very difficult if you're not used to it!

[@thomasw3449]

Very well set up civic , kept up with that civic cup car easy enough ! What was the issue with it?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Very well mate 👌🏻 It's an exhaust hanger that's come off by the manifold, it took some of the exhaust with it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@WalshEBoY]

Great video, can you tell me what mount you are using in the cage GoPro as I have the same cage and camera thanks

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Just a normal GoPro mount bud, nothing special 😊

[@Marcj140286]

Great upload luke,,why dont you do one on your bmw 330d,be good to see mate for a change

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thanks very much mate 💙 Might just have to do that 👀

[@iDriveNotxDrive]

Wouldn’t mind seeing that video, the 330d’s absolutely fly with a few mods!

[@Marcj140286]

[@officialjudgemental7451]

What is the camera setup inside the car? Mount and Mic etc. Very good quality video

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thanks mate! Just a normal GoPro mount and Rode Microphone, nothing special 😊

[@Bonson86]

16:14 Indi looked so worried about another engine failure lol

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Could you tell?! 😆

[@Bonson86]

I know I would after suffered 2 engine explosions within a year haha

[@michaelpdrock1]

Great video dude! What was it in the end?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Exhaust hanger mate. It worked itself loose and took part of the exhaust with it 😳

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you buddy 💙

[@Ashley-lb9jz]

Awesome video only now noticed the channel 😎 sub 👍

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you matey!! Much appreciated!

[@leeds106]

Did you figure out what the issue was in the end Luke? Video makes me miss my EP3, Doningtons an epic track for the EP3

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Yeah, only recently though! It was the hanger connected to the manifold, it worked itself loose and took the exhaust with it, leaving a nice hole 👀

[@leeds106]

@@GEARED_MrLucas ah least it wasn't anything too bad then!

[@kristianharley7231]

Hey mate was this put on a realistic dyno? In other words if you put this on TDI norths dyno would it make 260+?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Yes very realistic dyno, harsh if anything... It was mapped and dyno'd at EFI parts. They mapped my old EP3 Turbo too! Haha it could very well make 260+ on other ones 😄

[@kristianharley7231]

@@GEARED_MrLucas Thanks for the reply mate 🙏🏻. Im getting the same parts tuned next week

[@alvaromedina6049]

Where did he get the 440 rdx injectors? I can't find it anywhere, cheers mate

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

I'll ask him and let you know matey 👍🏻

[@brunomanco7529]

U really dont need them up to 265 hp. I have m2 intake, 70mm tb, dc5 cams, toda headers with 3 inch straight exaust, very well maped nearly 250hp and its not maxed out

[@chronicmachines6717]

So did it end up being the manifold?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

It was a bracket that had worked itselfs lose on the downpipe in the end. There a picture of it in one of the next videos.. Marc's Civic EG at the start 👍🏻

[@ReubenAStern]

I think you need a directional mic and a better wind jammer

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thanks mate. Made a few adjustments regarding the sound on the videos after this 👍🏻 Let me know what you think

[@manccarguy]

Is that rdx 410cc or rdx 440 pal??

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

RDX 440cc injectors matey 😊

[@raymondnoodels7775]

Cheap beast mode car...and it's a Honda. I got my first in 2015. I'm in ep3 2...my euro yellow eyp.

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Right weapon 😊 Fair play! Make sure you look after it mate

[@eyelid81]

exhaust manifold loose? =)

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

It was the bracket on the downpipe in the end. It had vibrated and worked itself loose, causing part of the exhaust to go with it! 😲

[@chronicmachines6717]

Sounds like your firing on three, and the look on your face lmao 🤣

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

😄😄😄

[@zoelangton3917]

Just bought one can any one help will a back box make eml come on as I dont want to spend 700£ on a remap 😂thanks

What was up with car 👍🏻

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

The exhaust manifold hanger had vibrated and come away from exhaust itself, leaving a hole in it 😳 There's a picture of it explaining what happened in Marc's Civic EG video matey

[@peteselby3508]

Baffled sump?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Yes baffled sump 👍🏻 Was in before the first engine went too! Just bad luck I think 😥

[@peteselby3508]

Yeah that is bad luck, they’re normally bomb proof n/a

Are you X military pal ?

No bud, done a few bits when I was younger but never pursued it in the end unfortunately. Big regret 😄
