Default finally took my 02 ep3 out to autox today

its far from build for the class....but half way there i would think.....and if i keep this car long enough who knows whats next.....

on some crappy 55 series all season tire....oem struts/shocks..... crappy alignment.....i manage to get the car rotate pretty well..... only once or twice i was under steering....ep3 its by far the slowest car i autox with.....last 4 yrs i went from mazdaspeed3 - boxter - supercharged miata - ep3

here's what its done to the car so far

engine mounts insert
injen cai
skunk2 mega exhaust
eibach sportline springs? (it came with the car)
power slot rotors front only
hawk hp+ front only
Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid
progess 24 mm rear swap bar/tie bar package

parts im waiting for

tokico d spec (koni are back order for a few months i was told)
crash bolt
dc5 front brace/rear braces
15x8 30 offset wheels with hankook rs2 225/45/15 (front only)...after 4 laps the rear tires didnt even get warm at all so why waste money....
alignment

the ep3 its also my daily drive when i put in 150-200 a day m-f....so the modds will stop there for now....

no pics or videos.....but here its my slow *** time for today....

overall im very impressed how much fun i had today drive fwd car for autox again...i remember my mazdaspeed3 will under-steer like crazy....but no so much with the ep3.....

Also you might want a more positive offset rim. I made the mistake of buying some handouts for %25 a rim. nothing wrong with them, but with just an offset of 30 my 205/50R15's rub like hell when turning.

It's got stock suspension and unrolled fenders. I've heard from most of the people I race with say don't go past 205 with civic/crx I'm sure you can make it work, but it may take some getting creative.
