I loved your old Silver EP3. I followed that build thread for sometime!

I currently have a Wagon and always wanted one of these to tinker with. If you don't mind me asking, what are some noticable differences between the 02-03 and the 04-05 models? Which do you prefer and why?

looking good...

I think ep's are awesome my friend has one but one thing I love about his is his color matched eye lids. I think it makes the headlights look ten times better.

I will have pics as soon as he emails them to me so I can show you what I am talking about.

I love all the FEEL's goodies too great stuff

keep up the good work man

got some discontinued hfp goodness for the ep this week.... .

definitely night and day difference in the looks department.. makes the car look more aggressive along with making the car look more complete.. since they for some odd reason applied all 04-05 with oem sideskirts.. which are smaller then the hfp or type-r skirts.. I like these much more...

say hi Fernando!


car reminds me of a rc car lol


I'm stupid happy with how the car feels as a daily driver on the suspension kit, the beefy tires complement it very well.. I was thinking about going back to coils, drop it a little more.. but Im not to sure now.. I also wanted to drop 5 in the sidewall.. but now I feel these 45's are perfect.. I can throw It into any turn I'd like to and am very comfortable driving down the road...STOKED

got a license plate holder.. I felt the front end looked unfinished missing it... aswell as some oem black lugs.. the chrome didnt quite fit for me...



I also got a rear hatch delete since I purchased a rep-type-r wing-Theres a reason for this..

Over the next couple months I plan on experimenting with making my own spoiler..fiberglass to carbon, There was a diy for a spoon style why back in the day.. and since the guy wants 600+ for the kelvar piece.. I figured Id make it myself... So

I agree.. I saw a lot of the EP community going with stock evo 8 six spoked... I love the fitment sooooo much, reminded me of my enkeis.. but I was struggling because I like to be a little different, so I went on a searching frenzy for the MR's...

then BAM fresh powdercoated white MR's a hour and a half away... Dude had them on craiglist for 15hours.. .lol

had to have them

yep, pop the brake light off the inside of the hatch.. unplug it and remove the unit and this piece pops right in... no reason to have one inside the hatch when the wing provideds one for you!--- I also will be going back to running the oem wing until I finish the fiberglass work on the replica.. now for me Im removing the brake light on the wing and filling in the top... I like the look of just the uk lights alone!

It should hopefully come out something like the diy kelvar one that was done a couple years ago...
