Default My new EP3.

Wheels
Exhaust
Red leather/carbon shifter
Silver light up windshield squirters

Talking down the dealership from 16,999 to 12,000

I've had 9 other Hondas, and been on the site for a while, but this is my first K series, and I'm pretty excited about getting this car back in the shape it should be. This will replace my Mini Cooper S...glad to be back in a Honda.





Edit: I just realized this isnt the H-T of ole...and this post might need to be in some other place...feel free to move it. -Jake

His Mini S was in the shop more than his 9 other Hondas combined.

Nice dealing, Jake

I got the EP last night...so it's already in the garage

The MCS




Although I loved my MCS, and it was fast as hell (intake/header/3" exhaust/ECU/16% pulley), it was in the shop 5 times in the first year for bs. Then the morning I was supposed to drive it on to a boat to ship it to Hawaii...the #4 spark plug popped out of the head and ripped out all the threads. That was the last straw...so I sold it. Not to mention the EP3 was 12k and the mini was 26k.

My plans are to throw on CTR bumpers/skirts/wing, Hondata and from there I'm not sure. 15's for sure, with some soft rubber, Gram lights, or perhaps RPF-01's again.

Yesterday was my first dive into the EP3 forums, so I'm learning every day about the tech side of them. I'll be around a lot from here on out...

-Jake

One of the higher-ups in the local SCCA Solo II organization doesn't mind his Mini because the dealership fixes everything under warranty; and when the warranty is up, he'll get another one.

Doesn't make any sense to me, honestly... lol

But yeah, congrats on the EP, and good job on talking the dealer down to a reasonable price (they must've been smoking something rotten to ask for $17K). It's gonna be a fun car.

One of my replacements was the RR caliper...I took it in and they replaced the LR caliper...then had to wait a week to get the right parts for the RR. Granted I got to drive a Merc around when my mini was in the shop, so I was comped...but I was always worried about the cost of the car once the warranty ran out...
