After spending many months looking for a performance car this is what I ended up with! I'm still working on it. I built it mostly for road racing, I have attended A few shows (2 trophys). The best way to check out this is to go to my web site. Enjoy! http://hometown.aol.com/penguin0073/2003HondaSI.html

Nice car! Except for that wing, Did you steal that off an old 747 jumbo jet? But to reach his own.
The wing cracks me up haha:D
Love the rims wish I had those:'(

[DyNastySi]

I dont know what to say.....uhh.....as long as you like it man thats what counts.:D


















:'(

[MrCivic03]

do u have serious engine mods. bc those guages on A pillar dont look like oil temp or a/f. u got turbo or something ne pics of engine bay. cmon show us ur beast...

[CivicHB]

Holy shit..that wing, why?????:yellm:

[k20hatch]

da da da da da da da da batman! sorry i was in a daze! If you like it man thats all that counts!







:eek:

[Sidriver]

We need some stats on your ride showing that wing being an important part of your aerodynamics.:yellm:

[2k2civicSi]

o my

[plpong893]

not a fan. that wing is nasty

[jimmied]

you better get a cage since you are running those seat belts....not too safe, especially when your racing

[G-man77]

...Oh!

[k20whiteboi269]

not too bad of a ride except for that wing.....those harnesses would look really good with a set of black sparcos..still not feeling that wing tho

[BlasTech]

What series are your running W2W in? Is it lapping days? HPDE? SCCA?

Im wondering, do you feel the belts are ok on the seats like that? Do they ever come down on the sides? I was considering that as an option at one point instead of through the hole. Im assuming a roll bar should be soon on your list of mods, right?


Nice wheels, and the wing is definitely aggressive looking. I like your numbers, too.

Have you any brake upgrades?

[Rich]

That wing gets more intrest than my SI! Information on the WING it is made by Rotora and if you ever try Road/Rally Racing this is the way to go. If all you do is go to the 1/4 strip it will only slow you down. Whats under the hood? It's dark under there and loud I try not to open it because it scares me! I race with COM Racing Club our races are time trials. The wing really helps when you are doing 130MPH down the front straight in 5th gear and you need to brake, down shift to 3rd and make that hard left turn at 80MPH and not hit the wall! Rotora+Tein+Yokohama= One fantastic ride!
If this dosent help then I guess you have a bad case of wing envy.

[Brettnyt]

I dont care if it helps or not... I still dont like the wing... Is it safe to have 5 point harnesses rigged up on our seats like that? I dont think so... I do like the front bumper however... And the rims look pretty nice... :)

[02SilverSiHB]

well, that's one freaky looking car...kind of shines "rice" all over it, but you are into road racing, so I guessss...I don't know. It's like you don't care about looks, but you do...weird. Why not get the whole kit at least.

[SiR_d1]

not a fan of your wing or the exhaust:o

[LHD_EP3]

That thing sure does look fast!

[Vivid-Cruz]

entire car is rice!
i feel like throwing some milk, bread, cheese, cereal, and some soda in there.. then ill push it to the checkout counter and be on my way!

[downhil]

is there any clearcoat on the ft. bumper?

[civicSIracer]

:banana:

why oh why.

to each his own.

[pedzola]

Hey guys, if you don't have somethin nice to say, don't say anything at all right? ;) How do you like that poison front bumper? Any more pics of that specifically? Thanks.


PS Plz take off the wing when you are not racing. :D

[kcx23]

car looks koo, where did u get the triple pillar pod from? Can u please give the part# so I can get it. thanks KC

:eek:

Hee Hee....:D

Well, I do like the car and most of the mods. The only exception being the airplane on the back. But if it serves its purpose, so be it.

Thumbs up on the individuality tho! ;)

[Si4U2NV]

Is this the look you were goin for?

hehe j/k...:winkm: im just bored (deftones? bored? anyone?)

Don't let a few negative things posted here change your mind about being a member. I read your post on the other SI site, sorry they got on you the way they did. We are not like that here, we do keep things pretty straight around here. So sometimes you might not get (or expect) some of the responses that others post. Once again don't let a few negatives cloud your idea of what this site is :)

[Zero Three Si]

I'm going to stick up for this cat. The ride is pretty pimp for a road racer. We're all looking how to make the EP faster. I'm POSITIVE this guy know's how to make an EP fast.

Go on BIG DOG!!! Whoop some stock EP ass with that bad ass ride!!!!

He's ALLL GO and NOOOO SHOW!!


Never under estimate an "odd" looking EP.

[2pointslowEP3]

nice harness...wtf is it attached to?!? what happened to the car?

[BlasTech]

It looks like Rich has the harness attached either to the baby seat points or the rear seatbelt points.

I'd also like to know about the rear harness bar looking thing, and why the belts arent attached to it instead?

Too bad, I think hes (rightfully) turned off enough to ignore our questions by now.

Anyways, if you're still looking Rich, props to you for racing the EP, big wing or not.

[stephen]

Take the wing off, ditch the ICE, and strip the interior.

I bet your lap times improve.

WTF!!! Sinse when did you need a RWD to down shift :yellm:

...most course cars have wings like that...check out the UK ctr(s)
...to push 130mph he probably has hondata, and a turbo after seeing the guages.
anyways...you should get the 5-axis kit...it's actually made for that kind of driving, or at least fender flares. A roll cage would be good too. Plus, take out the passenger seat and rear seats and stereo.
...is it a daily driver too? do you take the wing off when driving through town?

[Zero Three Si]

The wing would look kick ass for daily driving.

[Rey]

Wings don't normally "look" good on a hatch. But if it's totally functional that's another story. I though I would see these kinds of posts if he was a ricer, but he's a legit racer. I think we should all give him props on his choice of mods. Especially his choice in car.

BTW, that's the first time I have seen the poison kit on a decent looking car and it rocks.


Keep up the good work!

[f4hondaphile]

Harnesses don't seem kosher the way their set up....mygodalmighty thats an...uh...interesting wing.

But beauty is in eye of beholder, I see lots of time and effort spent on this ep so do whatcha like I guess.

[StrangeShadow]

I've actually seen that particular wing on a number of pro cars...

[DingDong02Si]

Its a fish!! No its a bird!! No its a honda ep!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!! lolololol im sorry but it has way to many things going on at one time that need to be. Nice ride anywayz.:yellm:

[txephatch]

WHY?!!?? but as everyone else says, to each his own.

[phatsi]

please tell me this is a joke thread.....anyone...please, this cant be real??!!??

[freidaddy]

uh... ok...It looks nice.

Why that wing though. You should of got the wing like the civic type-r in the british touring car championship.
