welcome. As for aftermarket parts, it really depends on what you're looking for. Showstoppers here on ephatch has good prices. Also here are some sites I buy things from:
www.optauto.com
www.inlinefour.com
www.importhorizon.com
www.nopionline.com
www.ebaymotors.com

EP is the chassis code. to be exact we are the ep3 chassis code

As far as parts go, do a seaech and also check out the local forum for your area.

What exactly is the "chassis "? My understanding is that it's basically the frame of the car correct. Am I wrong in thinking that the civic and rsx "chassis " is the same? They do have the same wheel base. They have a different body length though.

Yes the chassis on the DC5 and EP3 are different. Here is basically a pic of the EP3 chassis. You could not bolt up DC5 parts such as headlights and bumper etc..etc..

I rarely ever cruise Franklin anymore, it got kinda old. But if there's another ep around my interest is peaked.:) I've only been to high point once, but the cops broke everything up. There's like 3 other ep's around Gastonia, but i only talked to one of them and just said to check out ephatch.com. If you ever wanna meet up thats cool. :cool:
