Default Sold the EP a year ago where is it now? Curious is all

Im just wondering what ever happend to my EP. I sold it around this time last year to Honda Norm Reeves Huntington beach.

Did anyone on here buy:
A 02 hatch with around 55k miles
Neuspeed dual tip catback
Blox racing gold shift **** w/ jdm shift boot
jdm coin holder
injen cai
red valve cover
full carbon fiber body kit w/mugen style hood/mugen style grill/carbon mirrors
jdm side markers.
Silver Roja Formula 5 wheels
CTR rear sway bar
Progress springs

The owner would have gotten a nice surprise because it was the 3rd EP to get the Hondata flash hehe. One of the cars to get the detonation problems solved early on.


I just wanted to know has anyone seen it around? Hows the car been etc. I kinda miss that car sometimes. That is till about 6k on the tach in my new car. =-)

Hard to say whether its new owner would've found your post in just one day under a not-unique title at H-T........ I came here to see if something went wrong with the car, not to see if I recognized it.

Might as well check the other EP forum sites to see if there's a relatively new owner parting out everything that you had added.. .

IIRC the timing was too advanced and had to be retarded back. It ran fine for normal driving but after 7200 rpms you'd hear the noises.

Is that why the included kal in KPro for the EP3 motor is limited to 7300rpm while the older reflash raised to 7700rpm? For a while I was assuming I will be able to raise it to 7700rpm as soon as I got Type S IM/TB on my BASE A3 engine.
