[Speedup]

So progressive sway bar do come in different colors. Nice ride by the way it looks like a "Toy" ;)

[02SilverSiHB]

that's a wild lookin ep man! :D

[SCPep3]

last ones...

[SiNi$t3R]

Hey man thats damn nice EP u got there!!! I really couldn't see the back of it . I would like to see more of that aluminum rear spoiler . I want to see how that really looks (bad or Good). Pls post up pics of ur real spoiler . Thx/

[SCPep3]

Here you go man. It's acually constructed in carbon fibre. Super lightweight. Made by JSP Motorsports.

[Brettnyt]

Not bad, whats everything on the dash, I see engine start, and what is prolly nitrous purge, but whats everything else?

[BlackNRedSi]

<ACTION> BlackNRedSi, has just opened his mouth wide, while eating a apple, jaw has dropped...and wants his car to look like that one day!

:) :) :)

[tony speed]

this is what my car will be like when i'm done 3 years from now! sweet!...i want volks too :'( i couldn't find any i wanted and was willing to pay for :'(

[SCPep3]

Brettnyt,

The first switch is for spray, the second is for strobes in the engine bay and headlights and the third turns on the undercar neons. The car is conceived to tour on the Canadian Sport Compact Nights show circuit so lighting was neccessary. Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

[SCPep3]

Just a few more cool pics

[SCPep3]

...

[XLR8B4U]

Normally I would not like this car but something says this is put together nice! Even the buttons are well done. Good luck in the circuit and post more pics!

I LOVE these tunnel shots. Excellent stuff!

Craig

[SCPep3]

I know, I know, the neons are a little f&f but I just couldn't resist turning them on for the tunnel shot.

I couldn't disagree more. I think in that setting it was PERFECT.

I like the one under the hood that makes it glow hot. Nice touch.

Craig

[silver ep]

Youve got a nice ass ep, Im completely diggin your ride...even the neons !:eek:

[SCPep3]

Which pic did you want? I don't think your attachment worked.

[XLR8B4U]

Do you have this pic in Hi Res? .. I need new wallpaper..

[SiR Medic]

Well...

I like MOST of it...

I love what you did to the dash, the wheels, brakes and the drop.

The engine looks wild... Just a little too "bling" for my taste.

The decals, the wing, and the neons.... Sorry. I just don't like 'em. WAY to flashy for me. I understand that you need to do this for the show circuit... But I don't think I will ever come to appreciate those big tacked on wings and large decals.

Don't get me wrong... I LIKE IT! I just prefer a more "subtle" approach.

[2k2civicSi]

did you get new plug wires? if so where i didnt think you could get them for the si because the wires run to the ecu.

Nice ride man

[SCPep3]

As far as I know, Nology is the only company that produces an ignition wire upgrade for our cars. The system will work only if you have a aftermarket intake system but is rated at producing 300 times the spark. The kit includes a mounting bracket, HotWires and BERU silverstone plugs. I noticed a significant increase in throttle response mainly from 4000 - 6500rpm.

[Brettnyt]

Woah, good lookin neons (gasp) i really like the glowing front, what underglow kit is that?

[SCPep3]

Finally! A neon enthusiast.(jokes) The undercar kit is by Streetglow, the best name in the biz.

[SCPep3]

BTW, XLR8B4U,

I'll have a hi-res version tomorrow. The photographer was too busy today to send it to me.

very perfect...didnt go all out with the neons...:D

[Makross]

i cant agree more with sir medic

[heihei0330]

Great looking car!!!!! Can you tell me what rims those are?




Terence

[zerofighter]

great looking car. i always wondered how an aluminum spoiler would lookon our cars. good job

[freshmoss]

Man... you have the nicest car of all the members! Let's just say that i would have done the same if I had a black EP3 but I don't have the bling bling to ever match that! But my car is coming along for someone who never thought he'd be into import mods! :D
Thanks for letting me test drive your car... and almost bent a rim! hehhehe :P

We have to ride this weekend... anybody wanna join us on our cruise?! EP3 REUNION IN MONTREAL with 6 WHITE HONDA CANADA SIR PROMO CARS... hopefully... Ben make your phone calls! ;)

[SCPep3]

The rims are 18"x7.5" Rays United Arrows Eurostar S-05 in gunmetallic. I was sketchy about how the spoiler would look but after some time, I must admit it's growing on me.

Thanks! Hey, I went on their site earlier and they do nice work.. Everyone go have a look! BTW, I have the pic as my wallpaper now but stretched out and it looks ok but Hi Res will look great. **ANXIOUS** Thanks again..

[SHAKEnBAKE]

I never thought I would ever said this in my life, but:
I like the neon underglow shit!:D
You're living your life a quarter mile at a time.

[KimchiBoy_TypeR]

Hey sick ride man!!!! Was just wonderin Is that spoon Exhaust I see under your car? If its not it still looks great does not have the fart can look and i bet it sounds great!!! Can you give us a vid of how your exhaust sounds? I would greatly appreciate it cause Im thinkin of getting spoon.

[SCPep3]

The exhaust is courtesy of Vibrant Performance. It's a complete catback system, 100% Stainless including the flanges. It's called the Type-V series and yes, it sounds awesome. Although, it did shake a tad so I upgraded the stock hanger bushings with stiff polyurethane ones. I highly recommend this system!

[j spek chucks]

Game set with the wing, that thing is horrible and the street glow. Watch a little to much Fast and Furious.

[golferjn]

nice car

[SCPep3]

j spek,

I actually have the original 3-pc Buddy Club wing as well but I actually found the JSP one looked better, plus it weighed less! As for the neons, I NEVER turn those things on when I drive, only at the dark out shows...but for the shot in the tunnel...I think it looked cool. Fast and furious or not.

how much did dat set of rims cost you, i love it, but in 17's though




Terence

[abstrack]

*drool* omg.... im in love with your car....:p :D :) :cool: :eek:

[SCPep3]

Terence,

I actually got the wheels from Wheel's Direct in Tdot. In 17" I would imagine that tey're probably about $400 Cdn. They also come in silver and gold.

[SmoothOperator]

Nice to see Canada reprazentin!! Hope to see this car in person sometime.
Oh, and sure some may think it's ricey (lights, wing). But it's a showcar...and a damn sweet one at that!

[heihei0330]

great, my cousin's fd work at wheels direct, i will ask him how much it cost. Thx man



Terence

[StrangeShadow]

that's an awesome machine man. Everything looks great, it's done very tasteful, the stickers, the neons, the cb wing, very tasteful, I would deffinantly consider something simular if my car was black, great work.

[SCPep3]

Looks like I'll be doing the trip up to Darknights in July in Toronto. Any EP owners wanna hook up?

[heihei0330]

i might be up , see you there, can't wait to check out your ep



Terence

[Suk02Si]

Buddy club kit looks nice

too much bling, nitrous install looks sloppy

[TokyoBebop]

oooh, that is 1 sexay biizatch!! :cool:

[KeNnYtAkEr]

SCPep3 I'll be at DKN. Hey what front is that? if u don't mind me asking. And nice united arrows, does ur wheel dealer stock the UA S-07 I've been searching high and low for them with no luck :(
So how u likin the Tein SS coil overs? smooth? And lastly how much was that brake system? thx

[STP03BlueSI]

NICE EP!!! dig the Neon!:cool:

[todaCspec]

I usually don't like neon lights or aluminum/CF wing but your car looks sweet. It's the complete package that makes it stand out from the rest. The shot of it in the tunnel is the money shot that sold me. Now bring home some trophies and get some more sponsors.

[Kathryn]

Wow, I really like it. Not crazy bout all the stickers, but I understand they have to be there. I hope to see it up close one day!:D

[Mugen_EP]

Nice kit and wheels. Maybe if there weren't so many stickers covering the rest of the car I could compliment something else.

So how many pounds of vinyl you running?:D

Oh and neons??? I can understand the show part of it but damn.

[SCPep3]

C'mon guys, easy with the vinyl and neon jokes...the vehicle was conceived for promotional purposes, therefore all the sponsors of the car must be both visible and well represented. For those who understand the game, then thank you for the comments. Believe me, I already had to fight for NOT putting on big vinyl graphics!!! I'm just happy that I can even get away with the "subtle" race look. The vehicle is scheduled to appear this way for 24 months, then I can do what I want with it. But hey, everybody is entitled to their own opinion...

[YooShin]

Simply Awesome: You need a magazine shoot. This is an example of how all the right components can be pulled together: The kit, wheels, wing, decals and even the neon. It takes both an artist and engineer to get this look down right. You've done an excellent job. This is what F&F and all the ricers try to imitate but fail and fall short. The crap that makes you shout rice or bling on impulse makes it hard to appreciate the ones that are done right. Admit it EP brothers and sisters, this is what we all envisioned at one time and still get inspired from great examples. Please don't blow by putting on some 21" rotating rims or a air bags.

:eek: Um......NO!:confused: I've never "envisioned" my car being anything near this.

I can understand the whole show aspect of it and needing to represent the sponsers but I just feel the stickers could have been placed at least a little better to further compliment the car.

just my .02

[SCPep3]

Mugen_EP,

That's the type of constructive criticism that I am more than open to. What cool ideas do you have concerning the logo placements? The problem is that I have approx 30 sponsors to represent...

[SCPep3]

YooShin,

Thanks for the comments. The car is actually to be shot for cover of Performance Auto&Sound early next year. Believe it or not, the car is only at about 40% completed. Multimediea custom install, rear brake kit, boost, swap and cage are all in the plans. I'll try my best to keep this thread updated for those of you who are interested...

[YooShin]

Yeh you're going to start running out of useful room to place decals tastefully. Most of the parts speak for themself. You ought to consider your own website catering toward EPs or similarly tuned and JDMed hondas and imports. Personally I'd like to see an all EP and RSX type web page with the usual like clubs, forums gallaries and links to all of your sponserors whom can help put the site together and perhaps vend some of their products through it. I'd love to get a good deal on some Volk Racing CE 28Ns and maybe some of the those Tien Coilovers... ;)

[XLR8B4U]

Ben: High Res + Tunnel Shot = :) EP HATCHERS! Any luck yet? Seriouly dig that shot! also... Did you get my email? Was sent to address registered on this board. What Street Glow units did you use and where? THANKS!

Yeah... I understand the idea of show-car is to make it stand out... And that ride does that very well!

In context of it being a show car... I looks VERY GOOD. A lot cleaner than some of the tacky junk out there! I love the color mix and the body kit!

I just can't help but wonder what this lovely thing would look like without the decals and neon... And maybe a Mugen wing! :p

[SCPep3]

Sir Medic,

I noticed that you are located in Nova Scotia. That's interesting because I'm actually driving down there this Thursday. I'll be heading down to promote my show that will be taking place at the Exhibition Park. You know, pass out some flyers around town and what not. Let me know if you'd be interested in hooking up? BTW, xlr8b4u, I did get the email. The photo should be coming tomorrow and the kit that I got should just be the standard Streetglow undercar kit...let me do some research for you...

[SCPep3]

PM'ed you!
:)

[SiR Medic]

Met up with Ben on Saturday...

He's a hell of a nice guy!

That ride of his looks even better in person!

[HARRY POTTER]

DAMN, THATS TIGHT! GOT ME MOTIVATED!!!

[CleanBlackSi02]

I think it would look better with a different set of wheels and a different wing.

If he wanted to be like everybody else... he'd do it but his car is a show car... :p

The wheels look DAMN GOOD up close. !8" to clear the big-brake kit.

That wing looks pretty good in person, it sort of grows on you... It definately gets your attention... And IT DOES match the CF hood.

This car's purpose is to attract attention... AND HOO-BOY DOES IT EVER!!!:D

[StrangeShadow]

yeah, I think it looks great,
"""heck if all I have to do is: put a bunch of stickers on my car for 24 months take it to a few shows where it might win and have it on a mag cover,.... to get free parts I'M IN.""""

[IceD out N CALI]

nice ride. i'm not into the stickers but its all good:)

[StrangeShadow]

nice ride. i'm not into the stickers but its all good
there we go now that's a polite way of saying you're not into something....personally I'm getting sick of all the blah blah blah 'you don't deserve a honda :confused: 'RICE RICE DIE DIE comments that have been showing up more and more here, ruin my interest in most other forums.

[SCPep3]

SirMedic, It was cool to have finally met you this week in Hali. I hope to see you next weekend at the show. In the meantime, here's another pic for you guys!

[Jpax]

By far one of the nicest Ep3 on the forum, welcome :)

Shit, stick chrome 20's on it! Keep it a show car...I just feel a different set of wheels would suit the car better.

[abstrack]

i think red decals would look nicer on the car.... ever thought of trying it ?

[SCPep3]

As for the rims, I had originally asked for the same set in gold, but unfortunately, they would hav taken too long to arrive so I had to settle with the gunmetallic ones. I'm actually thinking about changing them to 2-pc bronze w/lip 18" Buddy Clubs by this winter. We originally tried to use red stickers at first but it just came out to dark with the black background so we would have had to go with 2 color decals on the paint. I preferred the one color for roll calls so we went with the metallic silver instead.

[Jontis]

Damn that's an awesome ride... :p

[ssvr6]

Moved to EP Discussion. Please follow the posting format for the Members Section.


Steve

[glw]

wow! steve is back and cleaning up... woohoo!

[VBSI]

I say pull the wing-do a Type-R style. I have always hated the aluminum wing crap, but that is just me.

[Chrisbgft]

Its kinda weird how they all like your neons and about 5 or 6 months ago i took similar pics with my Silver SI w/ Red neons and i get flamed...LOL. Its cool though, by the way love the car. Everything about it is great!

[C1V1C]

:p I am not a NEON fan, but that tunnel shot rocks !!! The engine neon is just perfect.

:p Second Jaw drop is the wing. I never like GT wing type for our cars, but that one is just nice sitting back there. Probably not too big and not too high.

sweet ..... overall is perfect. Good luck with everything.

[Zero Three Si]

I don't care what people say man.....you're car isn't too "Blingy" and it sure ain't "F&F"...

Blingy...is a escalade on 24's

F&F is a Mitsu-pu$$y

MAN YO CAR IS FRESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Str]

i cant view your pictures, could you please re-post them or something. Or atleast one :)

i have a vaugh(spelling?) memory of that you have a cool wing.

[TrippZ]

vague*

yeah seems like this is a pretty tight ep from the comments, hit us up with some reposted pics!

[SiR Medic]

I pm'ed and e-mailed Ben about a month ago...

He hasn't replied.

He might not be coming back...:o

Until we DO hear from him, I'll post a pic I took of his car when we met up in Halifax.
