Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Took 3 days but I went through every page. Awesome build, pretty much everything I dig about the honda scene. When I find other like minded people it gives me hope. 
Great stuff all the way through. I plan on starting one for my dc5 on here sometime soon. I started one on NWP but purpose built cars or daily drivers don't seem to get much love on there. Thanks for the inspiration.

The stuff I did behind the 1/4 panel plastics did help alot. Exhaust drone was definitely quieter, as well as road noise especially in the rain. I haven't gotten to drive the car since I finished the trunk and the doors though.

Its gonna be slow, but I got alot to fix/restore. Got a few custom parts planned too. Nothing on the level of some of your stuff though 
Right now just trying to figure out the suspension.

Im stoked for the next update. I almost walked away from a lot today with a EP3 because of this tread, I might have to go back for it.

Is the feel's dampers, dampening adjusted from the top? I ask because if they are, are you going to have to drill a hole in the shock tower to accomodate access to the adjustment screw because of the caster plates?

I don't normally find myself on HT much anymore. However, every time I do, I check out your car and your progress. I hate it though, because it always makes me think about getting another Honda/EP haha. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Hey guys, now that the craziness has calmed down I finally had a day to spend working on the car... Ive had a bunch of things up in the air like the valve cover and suspension, and finally got some of the parts Ive been waiting on to complete them
For the front struts I had custom stainless shoulder bushings made so I could install the Todd's top hats. I also had to have the upper perch seat machined a bit for clearance, and topped it off with new stainless nuts.
.
.
Installed the struts and the knuckles and brakes. Starting to come together now!
.
.
Rear shocks are also back in
.
.
Laser etched badges finally got done so I threw one on my valve cover...Also pictured is the new production version of our dipstick retainer

Sweet update, everything looks great. Now we just gotta work on the D series version of the VC 
I'm jealous of how clean your wheel wells stay and look. Can't wait for mine to be like that one day...
Btw, I hooked up the horn. Going for my inspection tomorrow! Executive auto is the place right?

Were the shoulder nuts that came with your plates the wrong size or was there a different reason for not using them?

Yeah they were totally not right for my struts so I had to make a traditional bushing and nut instead of the threaded shoulder bushing that came with the todd's hats.
