Default WHAT? an EP3 build?

hey guys(and gals), been on here for awhile now so i figured i would share my progress. Now it's nothing to fancy, im a senior in HS and saving to go to UTI. i dont really have that great of pics saved but will be updating pretty often. COMMENTS are welcome no bashers please lol. Enjoy!

The first thing i did was paint the oem wheels, drop on koni and GC, and installed JDM side markers.



next went on some bronze rota c10's


After that i stiffend it up a bit with a progress rear sway and tie bar, oh and skunk2 LCA's

then got my hands on a type r valve cover and fujita intake and BC pro spec exhaust

and this is how it sit's today. windows are not tinted, painted the rota's, and got yellow fogs.

that's it for now, sorry about the dumb pics but tommrrow im doing some major cleaning of my bay and installing some brand new oem headlights as well as mocking up my mugen lip.

Today i got called into work so i didnt get to much cleaning done and my headlights have yet to come in but i did have some time to clean up the intake mani a little bit.

The car's coming along nicely, the second shot of the red rims looks a lot better than the first.
