Those stock rims painted black look sooooo much better in person.

The pics do NOT do them justice.

I wonder how they would look on a silver ep.

[the JigGa mAn]

i see your car is on a dyno...mind sharing the #s?

a header will help bump it up to about 150 :)

[Peking]

Sweet ride :D Headers, Hondata, and a drop. Just a few ideas.

[Driftin SI]

Believe me, all that is in the works soon as I can get the cash together. Suspension is first on my list right now and will be done after the winter is over :)

by the way...those pedals look awesome!!

[Zero Three Si]

The man definitly knows class and style...many props conrad!

[Driftin SI]

Thanks fellas :) Its getting there slowly but surely. Still undecided what to do for wheels but I have a couple of ideas. Hopefully, come spring time we'll have more of a selection suspension wise. THe pedals are nice and cheap too. You can find them on the web for $25 if not cheaper.

guys, this kid is full of crapola, all he does is say he's bought this and got this. Here's his list of crap he's "said" to have "bought"


First you bought an NX kit. Returned it.

Traded in your EP for 350Z. Didn't like it, took the EP back.

Wanted to swap in a H22. Didn't.

Now you've bought a K20A2 and you're swapping that in...


AND NOW HE HAS A 350Z AGAIN!!!! yeah, okay! I say ban to this little troll.

Sounds good to me... Yeah, your headlights and exhaust look really nice... I dunno how the headlights would look on a black Si tho, might be TOO dark for my liking... They are kinda like Dunriks... not bad tho! Looks great on white! The OEM wheels dont look too bad in black either... When I first saw the first pic (the one in your avatar) the road in the background made it look like your car had massive aluminum spoiler... :eek: :)

[02SilverSiHB]

yes the car does look mighty sweet :D

[GraFreaK]

the blue ep on the first pic seems to look very great got any other pics??? By the way yours look good too its sure its an ep :D

[Driftin SI]

Progress rear bar that I installed today. Great mod, totally transforms the cars handling :D

[02SilverSiHB]

yeah the 22mm rear sway helps a lot. did you remove the word "progress" from the reinforcement plate thing?

[Brettnyt]

How much did the sway bar cost and from where?

[Driftin SI]

Yup, I removed the progress decal. I got the bar used from fellow EPer Cone Killer :)

[tom3]

Driftin Si, can you please comment on the pedals? How do they feel, are they pretty sturdy, and do they slip at all if the soles of your shoes are wet?

thanks!

[Driftin SI]

IMO, the pedals are great, cheap too. The can be had for around $25 on the web. I have no problems with them in the wet, they grip well and feel good too. I have these pedals in my last three cars so I guess that means I like them :D

It wasn't me!:D

[OziD]

My friend has that exact same exhaust (on a white EP). WEIRD. I've never seen it again until I looked at this post. Why is it so rare?

[Driftin SI]

I wouldn't consider it rare, there are plenty people on this board that have it. Some people insist on the JDM stuff and don't mind paying the price tag associated with those names. Personally, I wanted a quality system that wasn't super expensive and the Magnaflow fit the bill perfectly.

[OziD]

The exhaust sounds really great too huh? Reminds me of a trombone or tuba... but in a good way. Real crisp the whole way through.

[crex2nr]

nice ride man, where did you get the dyno done at? was it at ams, and if so, how much did they charge you?

[Driftin SI]

ya, it was at AMS. I went with a local club on a Sunday, three pulls, $50.

[Driftin SI]

so sad to see her being parted :'(

[the JigGa mAn]

i like how you got your stock wheels done black..i wonder how they would look on my black si...if you ever sell your car and need stock rims i will trade for yours :D

[Driftin SI]

I am actually looking to trade for the regular stockies, if you want to trade, let me know :)

[DingDong02Si]

Nice ride, -Happy Racing:cool:

[TheMutt]

Dude how much you think it would cost to trade our wheels? Actually I have a small lil thing on the edge of one where I rubbed so your probably not interested... but why you looking to get rid of them?

[2003EP3]

HKS is better!

I think shipping would be too expensive unfortunately considering I'm not looking for any cash, just a straight trade.

Ohhh if I only had a black EP, I would do it in a heart beat. I say we take up a collect for Driftin so he doesn't have to part out his car.

[Driftin SI]

[EP3inRI]

I bought a white Si couple months ago and I have a spare set of rims I was gunna paint black. Even though I'm pissed someone beat me to it, at least I know it looks bad ass before I do it. I was also thinking about the Magnaflow for my EP, so I guess I'm just gunna get even more pissed! So, stop posting until I keep up! Just kidding.
Nice ride, man...keep it up!

[Driftin SI]

Si is history, replaced by this, been fun though :)

Why did you trade the SI?

[EMI]

very nice!

so he could be faster :D

[Driftin SI]

Why, frankly because I missed some of the features of my old MKIV and I do miss the power of the 1.8T, loads of fun. Also, I could never get really comfortable in the Si seats, big deal to me since I have some back problems. The Si was definitely a better handling car though, definitely entertaining on the auto-x course :)

Let's make sure we keep in touch...thanks again for the springs.

[Driftin SI]

Well, since I haven't been on in a while and a new job is taking up most off my time, I'de figure I would post an updated pic :)
