Im still thinkin about moving the brake resivoir there.. I can use my feels bar then! YOu think the long hose would have an effect on the braking abilities of the car.. I may have to use more fluid but your opinion sir would be greatly appreciated, maybe it can be put somewhere else inside the bay closer IDK. just looks like a fun expirement!

I would just move it further down on the strut tower. I was planning on doing this so I could run a mugen dc5 bar but to run that the ac line would still be in the way so I scrapped the idea. Nothing wrong with moving it a bit just make sure the bottom of the resi is above the top of the mc.

Thanks dude! These cars are just like the older EG's and EK's. all they need is a lowered stance and some nice wheels to really set off the beauty of the car. In stock form like most Honda hatchbacks, they look like bleh

How many miles are on yours if you dont mind me asking? I've looked at ep3's on autotrader but hardly ever see any with lower miles.

heay evan I know you got some euro blood in you! What about a bowser hood in replacement of the eyelids? Just a thought! I know its a vdub thing but extending the hood over the eps headlights wouldnt look toooo bad... youll be the first thats for sure!

It looks ok on the dubs but Ive honestly never been a fan. Plus its too much work and money. I like the vinyl cause its cheap, easy, and temporary

I definitely agree, the back end tapers down and looks puny compared to the front now, the wing will give the rear end some gusto
