Well i was at work tonight @ honda an the next thing i see is a tow truck carrying in one of our own black 03 ep's with less than 2000 miles on it... I didn't really mind it cause i thought it was in for service or something stupid.... I went up to the mechanic later to ask him whats up... he lowered the car and told me to look in... i was like okay... so i did and there was water everywhere... *its been raining like hell here in stl, MO for the past couple days... but yeah i was looking... it got the seats the hatch.. the doors... everything... I was like wtf happend??? He finally said what happend after laughing at the fact that it happend... It turns out that the driver was driving somewhere and hit a "puddle" which ended up to be over 3 ft deep... his whole car is gone... it poured inside it as well as fried the ecu as well as the engine... the entire car is fucked... electronically as well as functionally... nothing was done to this car... it was in pristine condition and now its gonna be totalled out... damn i want some shit off of it but i am sure it'll still sell for 10 g's or so *estimated price value yada yada yada... but if it ends up in a junk yard i am all over it :)

Well turns out the car is totalled... but i do believe that the engine still has a chance... I heard that it still fires up... but since everything else basically is fucked *electronically they totalled it...

Maybe I should get it??? or talk to the guy about it :)

If you get please post parts that are good. If you could send the headlights cheap I would love to have for a CF idea I have.

Thats really sad to hear about man:( But if you do buy the motor or any thing? Do you think there is a chance if I could buy the throttle body off of you? Let us know if you can get any thing for us;)

another one bites the dust...

and another one and another one

BITES THE DUST!!

If we keep wrecking all these EP's....there's going to be a TON of engines laying around for all the B series owners to do engine swaps.
