π° HONDA CIVIC TYPE R EP3 JDM IMPORT π°
As many of you know here at pro-tek we love nothing more than working on Japanese vehicles & this one has been a very indepth exciting build for us.
Sam the owner of this ep3 has been coming to pro-tek for many years now & having previously worked on his uk spec ep3 type r he decided he wanted to start fresh and import one from Japan. Once we collected his new purchase from the UK docks with him, Sam decided he wanted to go above and beyond and make this car very special exactly how he's always wanted!

π₯ Bc Coilovers Inc hard race steering arms
π₯ Rear seats removed & battery relocated

π₯ Pbs uprated brakes, carbon fibre bonnet & much more!
Sam then came to us and said he wanted to take it a step further and have the engine bay looking at its best in preparation for either supercharging or turbocharging later on the down the line... with that in mind we started the build!
