I was thinking about making one either in this section or the ITR section, the guys in there are a little harsh sometimes haha.

Brings me back to the old Easy threads. In for this.
Dipstick tensioner is something the CRX needs. haha the day i got it I pulled the stick to find the rubber was so worn it pretty much rests in the tube.

I have been driving it one or two times a week to work and on really nice days to school. It's been sitting in the garage most of the time though. I'm about to put it back in there to do some regular maintenance.

Thanks man, yeah owning the EP3 is nice in a way because you dont see them around too much. Alot of people not in the know compliment me on the car and ask if its a GTI or a Focus lol.

It looks exactly like it did last year, I might try to swing for some new wheels before Import Alliance but I'm not really worried about it if it doesn't happen. I might just pull the Buddy Club wheels off and repaint them.

The bay is holding up fine, just the spot where the paint chipped when the clutch line leaked after I bought it.

Thanks! Meets are at the park and ride at the intersection of 90 and 146, around 6pm. I wont be at 80% of them because of the racing schedule over the summer.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
So! First update of the new thread and its a big one
The new tires and wheels came in today! 245/40/17 Dunlop Z1 for the front and 225/45/17 Z1 for the new rear wheels size 17x7.5 +48
These things are HUGE!
.
.
The fedex guy also dropped of my King Motorsports ball joint inserts for the DC5R control arms...
.
.
Last but not least the spare manifold Ive been working on. Thanks to Andre (gtimportfanatic) for hooking me up with a spare manifold!
What Ive done is shave the 2 fins off as well as some other little unnecessary bumps in the mold. Ive also tapped the stock brake booster breather port to 3/8 npt and installed an AN fitting setup.
.
.
Compared to my original completely stock manifold on the car now:

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Some guys have experimented with TSX manifolds (with the super long runners) and have seen some tourque gains, but idk those manifolds are just so ugly lol.
Id like to go either Kiddracing race header or OEM DC5R. Not sure which direction i want to go yet.
Yeah I remember... by whole foods right?

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
yeah they are ugly and that makes sense about the RBC not working well with the A3. i have the kiddracing on my H22 and so far i like it. the gains were certainly noticeable.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
yeah, cant be the price either. Im just kind of wanting to run a cat, for inspection reasons. The header is such a bitch to get off on these cars I dont want to have to swap it out for stock to pass inspection. So the DC5R header and cat would be a good comprimise.
