SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Welcome to my thread showcasing the ownership and build of my 2002 Civic Si!
I bought this car on November 17th, 2008. I daily drove it mostly stock with springs and wheels for the first yeah and a half, then I was able to get a winter car and no longer had to drive it in the winter. Other than that I daily drive it as much of the year as possible. Driving the car every day really helps me enjoy my hard work, and lets the car be something more than just a project. Since 2010 Ive been having alot of fun with the car, and have slowly sorted out what seems to be a great suspension and wheel/tire setup. I also picked up a K20A2 complete changeover but since late 2010 Ive only managed a bit of progress on building it and the gearbox. Now that the rest of the car is up to the new drivetrain it ill be the next priority!
Im going to keep this first post updated with some current pics of the car aswell as a mod list and a master index linked to each update. Hope you guys enjoy!

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
To get you guys up to speed here are a few highlights of the past year or so...
The night I brought her home - November 17th 2008
Pedal set
OEM parts (my favorite kind)
Spoon SW's (only had these for a month or so)
Cleaning up the somewhat dirty engine bay
Bay "finished"
Spoon springs and Hotchkis install
Custom eyelids
Door inserts
DC5R control arms
New VC and dipstick tensioner
And how she sits currently after a fresh wash, wax, and detail...

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Finally an EP in the appearance threads. I've seen you all over EPhatch, you hatch has always been so nice. did the DC5R control arms bolt up or did you have to mod anything?

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Thanks, like it says in the mod list theyre 17x9 +35 Enkie RPF1
Yeah man, I always wish there were more EP3/DC5 builds going on... The arms arent installed yet, Im waiting on my FEEL's coilovers and King Motorsports balljoint sleeves to come in before the car gets torn down.
To install the arms you need a DC5R front swaybar (USDM bars are too short), and either 05-06 Type S hubs and balljoints or the King balljoint adapters since the DC5R balljoints are larger than the ep3 and early Type S units.

The car is looking good as always Evan! What was the name of that place you got the carbon fiber sheet from? My computer crashed a month or so ago and I never wrote that stuff down!

Ahhh I knew it was Dragon - something. Thanks dude, I'll be sending the shifter plate back in a few weeks most likely.
