Description:

I'm putting my EP3 Civic Type R Race car up for sale.  It was built during the winter of 2017 ready for the 2018 race season.  It has seen 8 race weekend's use in that time resulting in 5 podium finishes.  This is a race winning car in the right hands.  My reason for sale is that I no longer have time to race it due to work and family commitments (#wife). 

The car has been extensively developed over the last two seasons and has resulted in probably the 2nd fastest race ep3 (NA) in the UK.  We have been preparing the car for the 2020 season where it has received fibreglass panels all round and a respray.  The car is garaged permanently, never been left outside and is stored under a marquee at race weekends. 

You can see from the spec list below that no expense has been spared in the pursuit of performance.  Although it pains me to admit it, this car has had well over £30k put into it.

The car would fit perfectly into a number of different race series.  750mc Hot Hatch / 750mc Roadsports / 750mc Club Enduro / BARC Saloons / VTEC Challenge and many more.

Although not part of the sale, I have all the parts to build a high compression k20/k24 engine with 300+ bhp. I also have a Pace Dry Sump Kit that we were going to use (please enquire if interested, engine and dry sump will be sold separately).
