D3 is looking to sponsor an EP3 with our new products

[Dr. Design]

Hello All,
We have finished developing our new Double X-brace. As some of you know there are a couple of x-braces already on the market right now, including ours. So we decided to take our XCB-C off the market and redesign it for more performance. We created our new double X-brace. It was designed to be THE BEST X-brace on the market! What makes this so unique is the 6 (large) mounting locations. This isn't some flimsy x-brace. We are using 4130 Chrome Molly tig welded and hand built. This new Double XCB-C is RACE READY! So if you have an EP3 and you like to push your car to the limits, give us a call our send us an email. There are no restrictions to where you live in the U.S. We are looking for the following:
1.) Bad ASS EP3 :D
2.) Current suspension mods
3.) Some engine mods
4.) Light track use
5.) Owner who likes attention
6.) Willing to take car to shows

If you feel that you meet any of these requirements please contact us. Please let us know if there are any questions.
Thank you,

[trk]

[Dr. Design]

Hello,
Price for new double X-brace has not been set yet. However we expect the price to be very competitive with the other X-braces on the market even though ours is a superior product. The target price is $175.
We are also going to release our new Interior braces as well. No price on those yet. We will be sure to keep you all posted. We should have pictures in a few hours.
Thank you,

Hello,
Attached are pictures of the New Double XCB-C. The picture of the stainless bar was of our old XCB-C. Please let us know if there are any questions.

The quart of oil is there to show how large the Double XCB-C is.

Thanks for the pics. Are the last two mounting points already located on the car, or do holes need to be drilled? 4130 cro-moly reminds me of my old BMX days. It will have some weight to it, but it will certainly be strong.

[BSEVEER]

All of the mounitng points are already on your car, no drilling requred!

Dr. Design - you have PM.

Thank you for your efforts in producing quality EP3 parts.

[CivicGSiR]

DR. Design

any insight on the advantages over your design than the one Carbing offers. although, yours is looking to be a much better bargain, i was just curious about the X-type design approach.

https://passwordjdm.com/shop_image/product/CRBSUBDC5.jpg

$329.00 USD

[fsugatorbait]

so whatever happended to this?

[Dr. Design]

Hello,
That is a good design. However, by using triangulation when designing chassis & suspension components you will have better performance by design. Anytime you can triangulate when designing something you should! It appears that the mounting locations are the same. I am not sure what kind of material they are using for that underbody brace. I know we are using 4130 ChromeMolly. 4130 is the is the strongest material we can use without getting into the more exotic material. The finish on our component is Zinc plated.


Ohh, I almost forgot. Our Double X-Brace is normally $185.00 USD (on sale now for $160).

Please let us know if there are any other questions.
Thank you,

Don't have a nice enough EP to put into the mix here, mine is all stereo :)

But, I want to put a second hand up for voting for EPhatchgirl. She is VERY passionate about her EP. So far in fact that she has organized/help to organize at least 2 EP events; One of which was an ASPCA Charity drive for which she raised over $400!! She will be a GREAT spokeswoman for your products by the fact that I have heard how she talks to people; the drive and passion in her voice is incredible to hear and I know for a fact, That I have spent quite a bit of money (and saving up for more) based on her extolation of certain products.

Thank you.

[Dr. Design]

Hello,
Thank you for the reminder. It appears we have selected a vehicle for sponsorship. Now we say it appears we have selected this car because it also seems like we might be choosing another EP3 to sponsor in a few months.

The vehicle that was sponsored is an EP3 with a Type-R motor swap and rull race suspension. This car is being raced in the Honda Challenge as well as other racing events.

Please keep sending us your information as we will be looking to fulfill sponsorship for a "Street" version.

Please let us know if there are any questions.
Thank you,
