They were in Daytona, but they just moved. Not far i think. I cant have people going there mafia style to get answers since we have have a professional relationship between companies. Anyway, dude isnt gonna give a crap if some random guy comes around asking for parts he'll tell them to **** off lol.

Hey guys! Little update for ya

So last weekend we had a little get together and pumped out some shirts with our new equipment. Just finishing up the gear for the members then we will start putting together an inventory in preparation for the apparel line going on sale in the near future

Right to left.... Me, Mike, Clauds, and intern Joe



.

.

After 3 weeks of straight rain, I hadnt washed my car in way too long and that doesnt bode well for my dusty *** pads. So I popped the wheels off and cleaned them inside and out as well as soaped up and power washed the suspension/wheel wells

Before:







.

.

And after





.

.

Still need to wash and detail the car inside and out so Ill be taking the day on saturday to get it done, and hopefully will have time to install this

Yeah the EP3 community loves them and havent heard of any issues with the EP version. Im sure the people breaking them are power shifting and tugging on it like its Ron Jeremys dick or something.

Very excited to install it and see how it feels. I mainly got it in preparation for the 6spd swap, and my stock shifter has some play in the ball/cup.

i honestly don't know how the rsx idiots broke them, mine has never given me a single problem. I even had the boat anchor HR shift **** on for over a year with plenty of excited fast shifting, still nothing.
Have you looked at doing any of the other shifter related stuff? like the hybrid cable bushings or k-tuned billet shifter arm?

Hmm, hopefully theyre not too short for my liking. Im also going to be extending the steering column so I can sit farther back. Right now my legs are cramped with the proper reach to the wheel. I may also have to extend the shifter towards the rear of the car depending how far I go back...

Also after the short discontinuation of the EP3 shifters, they we re-released with some changes but Im not sure what they were.

Yeah Id like to do the hybrid cable bushings but thats it. Their cables look pretty sweet too but no need for them really and theyre dough!

hmmm.. are you going to maintain the oem wheel? I know if you went with a hub and a quick realease that'd get you pushed back at least another 2-3 inches...

I had a boss<cheap guy> and nrg quick release on the coupe and that moved me back quite a bit.. I also have a shifter extened to get my hands closer to the steering wheel but that just goes up one the ep.

Im five' ten" I fit great! What I dont like is feeling like Im drivng a boat, with how the seat sits up so high.. but then I feel If I went with a my bucket and got some super lows, Id be below the steering wheel which doest get low enough. I dont like that much either. I love having the steering wheel at my chest. I lost that with the EP, the em2 was nice. **** Im starting to miss that little d-rock!

.. maybe fab up something similar thats angled backwards torwards the seat.. I also could see you cutting the shifter arm on the bc and rewelding it to your liking..

Yeah Im Keeping the stock wheel. No aftermarket wheel id want more plus Id never get rid of the airbag as long as its a street car.

The steering wheel height is fine for me, even with my bucket sitting pretty low I still have the wheel tilted up just a touch. Im thinking the shift arm might need to be extended towards the back of the car for the right reach once I extend the steering column but Ill figure that out when the time comes.

Hey guys finally some updates!

I washed, clayed, and waxed the EP last weekend... Then went to the homies house and wetsanded the wing and sipped some delicious beer

It was long overdue as the paint was pretty orange peeled.



.

.

Heres the right side about halfway sanded. You can see how much orange peel is still there



.

.

And heres the blade being sanded... you can see the original finish towards the far end



.

.

And the finished product... GLOSSY!
