depending on how the bar is designed, it might come in contact with the brake reservoir.

Yeah theres a good chance it would, but the resivoirs can be easily moved down a few inches. Its the ac line on the passenger side that is the issue with most bars

Since the EP is a daily driver Im going to paint my K20A2 when it goes in. It will hold up better to weather and mileage... Not sure what paint I want to use for that though.
How did you get that motor soo clean?!

Yea it does. It keeps the motor from moving alot, but allows enough play so you dont get vibrations like you do with stiff motor mounts.

I used the 1500 steel wool from Home Depot

The car is coming along great. I cant believe how much better it looks and your attention to detail. Keep up the good work.

Yeah Ive never had wheel hop, I dont think Ive ever even really spun tire in this car. But I was a more positive feel during shifts.

Haha thanks dude

Installed the engine damper yesterday... Since I got a sick deal on a DC5 version which mounts to the factory strut tower bar studs I had to make a custom bracket for the EP3 which doesnt have those mounts.

All bolted up!

This car looks so goddamn tasty

So guys I decided to sell the Stoptech kit. I dont NEED it since the type s brakes did fine on the track and it was going to be purely for the cool factor. I just bought a new freeride bike and need new gear to go with it so i can use the extra moneys. If anyone with a 5 lug EP or RSX is interested let me know. Looking to get 1K.
