SHG_EasyE

Thanks dude! Gonna have some new updates soon. Im starting to work on the new custom seat brackets next week. Should come out nice

Chester Rumble

So sick dude. How's the MemFab seat compared to your old Bride? My Buddy Club is getting all beat up and thinking about getting a MemoryFab.

The Bride was definitely better quality, but the Memfab is a ton more comfortable. I dont think you would fit though, it fits me perfectly and Im a thin guy.

So I just ordered up a bunch of oem stuff... Sooooo excited. 05 RSX-S header and cat as well as some new stuff from Majestic Honda. Should have it all in by the end of the week

SHG_EasyE

Brought some new stuff home yesterday... Some MTF, new battery stay, some more random nuts and bolts that needed replacing, and an S2000 oil cap that unfortunately doesn't fit on the K series valve cover

Also got my 05 TypeS manifold and cat so Ill be getting to work on freshing those parts up soon too

AllMotorDan

can you fill me in on 4-lug vs 5-lug ep3? im buying on this summer and i wanna know as much as i can

SHG_EasyE

Basically 02-03 was 4 lug then the 04-05 got a bunch of upgrades including 5 lug, factory side skirts, projector headlights, and half clear tail lights.

[ej]Jonathan

i was planning on getting an 02 or 03 cause theyre cheaper. is it wise to go that way? or should i go 04-05?

SHG_EasyE

Depends what youre planning to do with the car in the future. If you were planning on adding or changing things with the 04-05 eventually you might aswell save some cash, get the older model and do the mods to that. I personally prefer the 02-03 headlights, tail lights, and lack of side skirts so it was a clear cut choice for me.

One thing about the 5 lug that is nice is there is a much better 17" wheel selection.

[ej]Jonathan

i was planning on totally revamping the suspension. i wanna be able to auto-x it.
i think ill probably get the 4-lug unless i can find a 5-lug for around the same price.

wow, very nice ep hatch man. simple and clean but looks straight sexy

[ej]Jonathan

btw: what all did you need to make the dc5r arms work? just the kings adapters?

mattrt09

new updates look great!

SHG_EasyE

Thanks man, I like to keep it simple!

I needed the adapters and a DC5R front swaybar. The USDM bars are not wide enough to hook up to the ITR arms.

Thanks!


Heres what I was working on after work for a bit today.

I finally unpacked the TypeS manifold and cat and immediately got to work. The runners are welded onto the flange from the inside, so to maximize efficiency I ground down the welds to smooth flow exiting the exhaust ports.

This thing is mint with only 27k miles

I also noticed that the 05 TypeS (maybe the older ones aswell) is actually a 4-2-1 design. You can see here there is a divider that extends from the end of the manifold to about 5 inches into the downpipe. I love OEM Honda

[ej]Jonathan

thanks man! i think im gonna be doing the same thing

SHG_James

your attention to detail makes me feel normal lol.
