With such a crazy schedule as for late, it was nice to be able to take some time out to play with the RS2. In addition to the brake upgrade kit that has been sitting here for about a month, H&R springs were installed as well.

ARC SUPER INDUCTION BOX
“The ARC Product is wonders assenbiled project. They present comfort-able and unknown car life with ARC power.”
HUH!?
“ARC supplies only high quality products which contribute to environment since established.”
YEEEEEAHH…
The ARC super induction box focuses on low, mid, and high engine response. When stepping on the gas, in between the cleaner and the intake manifold is unused air. ARC invented this Induction box to utilize the unused air and give it better airflow and better response. This unit is also a direct bolt on.
• Big capacity box makes excellent intake power
• Larger opening for air to go in
• Funnel provide stability and response of high intake
EP3 FOOTWORK TUNED!
What once felt awful in braking, cornering and driving in a straight line… yes, apparently driving in a straight line can be terrible experience, now feels jolly smooth and adaptive. Now that the footwork with this EP3 is done, what’s next? Will it be the appearance or power unit?
EP3 UNDERGOING DC5 FOOTWORK CONVERSION
It feels like forever since we’ve done one of these projects. Glad to see there is still one or two local fellows out there with interest.
What we have here is a JDM DC5 5 lug conversion that includes calipers, rotors, knuckles, control arms, trailing arms and sensors. The front knuckles were taken from the parted out DC5 track car, so bonus goodies include once replaced complete hubs, extended studs and J’s Racing roll center adjusters. Also from the parted out track car, Swift front and rear sway bars are to be installed.
The front lower control arms received our regular treatment of SuperPro polyurethane bushings. This is a must for the DC5 and EP3 platform, these cars suffer from lack of castor.
Much is to be gained from this affordable upgrade;
• Constant steering geometry
• Better on road handling and control
• Traction control, more responsive steering
• Longer service life of suspension parts
• Increased tire life
• Extra off road stability
• Alignment correction and stability
TEIN Super Street coilovers will be used on this EP3;
TEIN Super Street damper kit was designed for drivers seeking improved handling on the street and at the track. A shortened shell case is utilized to allow the most piston stroke possible, which allows for a better ride at lowered ride heights, and increased grip at the track. Great for daily driving and occasion track use, whether it be at the drag strip, local circuit, or Auto-X course. Includes both ride height and damping force adjustment to allow the driver to dial in the suspension for various surface conditions.
EVO SOAKING IN THE SUN
Finally got around to wrapping the Speedline Champions in some Dunlop Z1 Star Specs.
