Dnapol's Introduction / Track EP3R Build

Copy/Pasted from ClubITR - Build is 6months in at time of post

Hey guys,

Well, what a turn of events that took place in the second half of 2012! My DC5R build was peaking, cracking PBs and making me the happiest year 12 student alive until … I was hit and it was written off Full details of the car and accident can be found on my DC5R Build thread.

So what next? Another DC5? Maybe S2K time? A Nissan?
NO.. I was on the hunt for a new car that would make me just as happy as the DC5 and also not lose money on all my parts, verdict? EP3R!!!

I managed to hunt down an EP3R that was freshly imported with 70,000km on the clock just after my accident. The car also had a few Mugen goodies on it that made it that “perfect find” I wanted.

The aim of this EP3R? To push the barriers set by my DC5, to get ever closer to that immortal time at Winton set by Tom (ChargeR) and most importantly, to avenge the death of my precious, loving and beautiful Debra The Integra.

The car came from Japan with:
- Mugen Vented Bonnet
- Mugen Air Filter
- Mugen Brake Pads
- Mugen Twinloop Exhaust

I left the car bone stock in my garage until I finished my year 12 exams and then decided, time to go all out! I’ve installed a small handful of parts from the DC5R but majority are still sitting in my garage ready to go in (updates in the near future).
