very tidy, one of my favourite colours for a 225
I was a bit torn between red and the black. Would've been the only red car I bought if I did, Awesome cars dont ya think?
Got any plans for it?
Car looks really nice and clean.

Thanks;)
Not got any plans as the moment but i may put some uprated anti-roll bars on and maybe a Revo in the future.
Started to have ago at the engine bay today but still got a way to go yet,

Don't miss my DC5 at all or my EP3 i bought afterwards but i still miss my old DC2 and i very nearly bought a EK9 this time.
You made the right choice! Vtec is all very well, and on track its an asset, but on the road, the insane torque you can get with a turbo is so much nicer to live with!
and the LCR looks SOOOOOOOO good in red.
the dashboard appears to be exactly the same as in my pre facelift A3.

no where near the handling though

Your right there mate but like all things ;)they can be sorted, my DC5 was only really good once it was dropped on eibachs and had a fast road set up [B)]something the EP3 could definitely do with:( I think if you changed the anti roll bars on the LCR along with good springs and dampers you would see a very different car.
springs and shocks on my A3 brought things into a line a tad. They lessened the body roll, stiffened up the ride, and the wheels tracked much better so as a result, you got less understeer powering out of bends.
Basicly, they made a BAD handling car reasonable.
Eibach anti roll bars made it feel like a TOTALLY different car. They totally changed the balance of the whole car, and completely altered the way it handles and drives.
Fitting the eibachs eliminated all the nasty body roll, and made the car totally neutral instead of its previous tendancy to understeer.
the traction now is incredible, even in the wet. Unless your silly and go full power before the apex of a bend, it simply will not understeer at all.
I'd say of the £3k I've spent on mods for the A3, the eibach ARB's were the single most worthwhile mod of the lot!
