Default Just bought an EP3. Well, 2 weeks ago...

2002
45,000 miles
Tokico D-spec shocks/springs
VAFC2
S2000 push button start
DC header
2.5" exhaust from header to Hayame axleback
(Also came with a dual outlet Magnaflow axleback, selling)
K&N filter
17" Konig's on Neo Gen's
Upper front/rear lower strut bars
JDM spoiler/skirts
$1200 custom subwoofer box for hatch (selling)
Bought for $10,800

There are some ricy things I want to change but I'm not even driving it now because the bank is taking FOREVER to release the lien. I'm either going to boost it or go k20a2 NA but either way it's going to be a track *****.

Yeah, the red interior is going out with the clear side markers, CF trim, and probably the grounding kit. Wire loom is in my friend's Breeze now for giggles.

Because I love hatches. Maybe it won't be a complete *****... It'll be on the local track on open days but I'm into it for the fun rather than the lap times and all. It's only seen one Wisconsin winter and that will be it's only one.

no way, i was looking at that very car on ebay, what deterred me was all the painted crap on the interior, and i'm far too lazy to find replacement stock parts for the interior of an EP3, knowing EP3's themselves are hard enough just to find the actual car, let alone all that stuff,

i'd like to see this car again, boosted or with a K

Yeah, that's where I found it. Since it was only 2 hours from my hometown I went out to see it the next day. He didn't sand the parts before painting. What will take the paint off?

Did the previous owner sell it because he finally realized it wasn't a CTR? lol

Yeah I was just gonna ask this. I'm inclined to say they must be stuck to the car with adhesive, not clipped into drilled holes, so a blow dryer and some fishing line might take care of those...

Anyway, I'd just ditch the red parts, side moldings, pinstripe and Type R badges and get a front lip to match the sides.
