Your right front centercap fell off.

What tire pressures are you running? It looks to be VERY low.

Good Eye! Yep, I took em all off after that one jumped ship, and I was running 40psi... I guess its going to have to go up a pound or two in the front and break out the shoe polish.

And I'm going to eventually get some springs/dampers to help with the mean brake-diving (Tien Flex or GCs with not-yet-released dampers).

That's my 6th event, I'm still figuring things out. :-b

Todd00, your ride is SAWEEET...

The Austin club has another EP3 driver who is regularly 1st or 2nd place in STS. His car has CAI, and some Progress bars on stock suspension with 15" Azenis. The competition is varied, with more than one EK Civic Si, Integra, and RSX to compete with.

He just added Progress springs, so I cant wait to see how it pans out.

Thanks guys. And yes, they are 16x7.5" SSR Comps.

A good suspension on the EP3 does absolute wonders for the car, not only in handling but in looks and overall car balance. It's a fantastic chassis that is hurt by its oem suspension and wheel/tire package.

I detail my setup here:

I've slightly changed/will change a few things since then, but overall it's still a capable package.
