Ep3 transformation
Ok so I bought my 02 si about three months ago with 132k, all stock, 2 owner with a clean car fax.
First thing I did was a full tune up, replace valve cover gasket and paint it while it was off. Aem short ram intake
Traded my stock wheels for some 16's motegi's
Traded my stock airbox for a greddy sp2 exhaust

Installed some manzo m-600 coilovers And replace the whole front suspension and brake system
Installed a type r front lip and did the sidemarker mod
5% tint on the rear, 50% on the front.
Bought some avid av-12 16x8 +25 offset 205/45r16 tires
I now have an n1 style catback exhaust.
That's all I've got so far, much more to come including a2 swap.

Clean ep3. I autocross mine a lot. Was running a 225/45/15 tires and the car handled like it was on rails. Good luck with the build.

Re: Ep3 transformation
Thanks man. Ya it handles good. I drive 800 miles a week back and forth to work and have no complaints. Other than my exhaust scraping when hitting dips in the road. A lot of people say not to run 205/45 on 16x8's but there's plenty of meat and really not a whole lot of stretch, I feel safe driving it.

Re: Ep3 transformation
Thanks slightlylifted, ya I didn't start this thread for negativity. If you don't like it that's fine, move along. Hate is a pretty strong word lol. I'm making the car into what I want and have a build log to look back on. Also to help any other members here that come across this thread and have any questions on how anything was done or what parts were used.
