Been meaning to put a progress thread up on here for ages, so here goes
Had the car a little over 7 months now,
by far the best car i have ever owned, since owning it, iv sort of landed on my feet in terms on modifications, found a guy though a friend of a friend who had sold his car about 6 months ago and had all his mods sat in his garage just collecting dust, so i made him a very cheeky offer and he excepted 
Managed to get them all fitted eventually
Spoon N1 and Spoon B-Pipe
Havent really got many pics of the next but it was Tein super street coilovers with adjustable pillowball top mounts and SPC rear camber arms, an just the see te top mounts here oh and my custom cover for the fuse box cover
Next up was the Silver-tec bulbs
Brand new Spoon Rear Tie bar still in its box
Rear Strut brace
old brace
Front lower brace
Front upper J's Brace
Spoon Rad Cap - needs a good buff up
Spoon Kevlar Plug cover -
And finlly the spoon earthing kit
front brace fitted
needs taking off at some point and powder coatnig glow in the dark green like the rear spoon one 
got a set of HEL Braided brake lines at JapFest @ Combe -
look a goot bit of kit and should have them sorted next weekend along with new CRN discs and yellow stuff pads all round
The car is due a service as well, and as im not 100% sure what has and what hasnt been done on it in the past i figure i might as well do it all. so while im at it got a few other little bits and bobs
J's magnetic drain bolt
Energy Suspension mount inserts
Also managed to get hold of a carbon spoiler for silly money (£40) thats now on
Also had the Car RR'd couple of weeks ago, im very sceptical about RR's and have had bad figures in the past with previous cars, but i was surprised to see a decent result, not bad for just a cat back 
Also managed to get hold of some Tein EDFC's for my suspension, got them fitted but not wired in fully yet 
Finally, some engine bay bling
Battery tie down
Tegiwa Bolts and washers
harnesses -
New wheels -
New guages purchased
not bad for £40
Planning on Stripping the full car out in the near future and then onto some engine tuning 
cheers for looking

Is it the picture or is there something wrong with the weave on the spoiler?

was loving it untill i saw the wheels, still a greate car and i bet it feels so much different to drive with the set up your running.
i'd like to see an EP3 with FN2 GT wheels on...

Jack the mount was a piece of piss to do, hoping all my new bushes for the control arms are just as easy lol
Matt cheers mate
Phil - wheels are temporary until i can sort out some Gram Lights or something similar, these were only £180 plus my standard ones and had brand new tyres on, and my tyres were fooked so seemed sensible really 
feel so direct and stiff its unbelieveable just need to sort the angle of the steering arms out as its killing my rack

UPDATE
Package arrived from the states monday morning, so i went to pick it up and had to pay £16.85 import charges :x ah well still £150 cheaper than buying in this country
inside the box was this little lot
This is what happened when i opened the box!
Inside the box there was a full polybush kit consisting of -
Rear anti roll bar bushes
Front anti roll bar bushes
Rear control arm bushes
Front control arm bushes
Gearbox aluminuium shifter bushes
Gear shift aluminium shifter bushes
Fitted the two above yesterday, its made the gear change so solid and direct, it was really wollowy compared to before and is pretty much perfect now i think, just needs a shorter throw!
I also decide to take some pictures of the stripped rear and painted spare wheel well
The difference is amazing, feels SO much quicker! rear door cards are also out just no pics yet, just means i can hear every little squeek and rattle now though
cheers for looking
Matt
