My girlfriend for putting up with all this money pit and for not letting me give up. Mel aka HUR1CANE for everything, from getting parts, introducing me to new people and calling me on my drive home so I don't die, you've done it all for me homie. All the friends I've met from ephatch Bill (Siborg), Huy (Demonicrsx), Micheal (Mickey), Andy (Silverstar), Jerry (Windchaser), jjermzz, Ton, .colin, Ron (Stoop), NwEP homies (Chris, Julio, Tyson, Jeff, Paul, Larry, Brian) and if I forgot you tell me and I'll definitely add you to the list. Shops and who ever I've bought parts or got help from, ShowStoppersUSA, THMotorsports, ClubRSX, Hillsboro Honda, ICB motorsports, and Wek'sos.

[kokopuffs405]

nice car man...

future plans- rims?

[SPAM&RICE]

comming along nicely, did you do the mods yourself or buy it like that. anyways its nice so far, rims and youll be set, good luck/w the build.

[Windchaser]

nice and clean. you NW guys always surprise me.

[knowgood]

Wheels should be coming soon, within the next month or so. We'll see what direction I want to go with the car in the future as most of the aesthetics are almost done.

I bought the car with the magnaflow exhaust, and the aem v2. Everything else is all me. Well everything except paint.

And Windchaser we're just tryin to ball like you cali guys.

[PuMpKiN_Ep3]

magnagay??? dude.. im rolling on magnaflow and i fucking love it....

it doesn't sound like and RC car.. thats what i like.. it has more of a vrooooom to it...

[xsimplistikaznx]

that's the 1st thing i do. take the stickers off to keep it clean as heck! did it on my wheels. me like yo ride :msmile:

[civictype_r04]

Car look good I can't wait for the updated pics.

[itsanep3]

Looks good.

[Civicsiguy]

looking good

[knowgood]

I liked the sticker but HUR1CANE saw it and started to pick at it so it had to go.

As far as the magnaflow goes it's not an exhaust I would buy, but I do have to admit it looks a lot better after the JDM rear bumper. I'm more into either really subtle exhaust like a polished oem axleback or spoon, or something crazy like a trust dd (don't make it for the ep) or buddy club spec 2.

[sleepinEP3]

bad ass :thumb:

cant wait to see it on some new shoes. hows the N+'s ride with em that low?

[knowgood]

They ride fine but they don't go low enough. After rims if I'm not sitting lower I'm gonna either try shorter springs (someone point me in the right direction) or hunt down some progress coilovers. But if somebody doesn't want their car to be super dumpt I would hella recommend the N+'s.

I hear storys of ton, team era 5, and supreme scraping jack points and can only dream :mcry:

[Chazwick05]

looks awesome!

[HUR1CNE]

looks awesome!

Damn 50 teach me how to stunt! rides lookin real Official Nick as soon as u get some wheels, oh yea u forgot to put ARC Airbox on ur mod list homie

[jeenyusss]

very nice!!:party:

[PHISHY]

Oh wow. Your ep looks awesome, esp. the exterior, it's well done!

[ImpactStar]

looks good!

[knowgood]

Damn 50 teach me how to stunt! rides lookin real Official Nick as soon as u get some wheels, oh yea u forgot to put ARC Airbox on ur mod list homie

Whenever I pick it up. I'll dress and clean up the bay then. Wheels should be ordered soon unless Mel calls me about some more deals.

[20CiviC02Si]

I like the airwalker lip, wish i could put one on the Taffy.

[eurocivic]

Sick ride man.

[shadowmd]

sick!

[HUR1CNE]

Whenever I pick it up. I'll dress and clean up the bay then. Wheels should be ordered soon unless Mel calls me about some more deals.

hahah always do look out for u NIck, u know i keep an eye for hot shit for u, now only if u had 5 lug id give u a list of wheels to pick from. get all ur shit 2gether and do HIN w me

[knowgood]

It's killin me I wanna do the 5 lug but I get the feeling that I'm just wasting a bunch of money. If I'm not happy with how the wheels fit I'm gonna go to 5 lug for better sizing.

P.S. New pictures. YEE

[OPTIMISE]

I know Im not helping at all but I really like how the stockies look man... I know that means nothing to you but eh, thought I would share homie!

[2005SI]

I like the car...it's very clean no extra crap on it.... front lip is niiiccceee

[ep3demic]

clean dude...

what's wrong with your mods? gotta start somewhere ya know

where in washington are you at?

[knowgood]

clean dude...

Olympia area, but I don't think anything is wrong with my mods. Everything I've done has been chosen to my liking. Only thing I would change that I purchased would be the coilovers because they don't go low enough or have chamber plates. Other then that I'm content with everything, things just need to be added. The outside is almost complete, then I'll move on to another area.

But thanks again to everyone for the compliments, some of my heros are in here. And Chris we gotta start planning a meet soon.

[SD_smrk1]

Thats the only one I have posted.

I was really set on some regamaster evos but to their recent popularity increase I don't think thats gonna happen.

[04cvcsi]

[shusi]

[knowgood]

It's not that I don't like it, it's just not something that I would buy.

[Windchaser]

It's not that I don't like it, it's just not something that I would buy.

Meaning if it's not JDM, he won't buy it.

BTW nick, when is the half nose bra coming in???

[yipyipyip]

i think that exhaust looks awesome, it sound ok? im assuming its affordable?

[knowgood]

Arghh thanks Chris for posting up how shitty my paint its. But as of sunday byshatch buffed it, hella better.

As for the exhaust. The director of hate, aka windchaser, is right it's not jdm enough for me. It sounds good and looks ok, but it's not something I'd spend money on.

And wheels will come whenever I find some. The wheel game is very iffy

[knowgood]

[LvisDin]

They ride fine but they don't go low enough. After rims if I'm not sitting lower I'm gonna either try shorter springs (someone point me in the right direction) or hunt down some progress coilovers. But if somebody doesn't want their car to be super dumpt I would hella recommend the N+'s.

I hear storys of ton, team era 5, and supreme scraping jack points and can only dream :mcry:

What the hell. My jackpoints scrape even when Im on H&R. I have to take speed bumps slow. But I dont need to go through all that tuner crap.

[SLEPT-N]

[Windchaser]

Will do, I'll make a thread or something. I love the norcal scene...actually I love norcal period. I'm crossing my fingers my duty station is there.


I love how you have wider wheels upfront, you are not trying to pretend that the car is RWD!

Hell yeah!!! I love the look of a proper FWD stagger. One day I'll pick up some wider front fenders to get something meatier in the front without sacrificing ride height.


looks beautiful nick!!! +1 props son!

Thanks you know how us washington boys do it!!!!

And thanks to everyone for the positive comments. They keep me going when I'm feeling down about the car. I should have some quality pictures soon, so keep checking the thread out.

[dynamic_I3oi]

[knowgood]

where did you buy your front lip?

ShowstoppersUSA

[MajorJones]

Look amazing man, cant wait to see it in person again. I Miss the Spring HT meet but i should show up to the next one, hopefully ill see your whip there :mcool:

[Babylegg03si]

I'm lovin' the car! I'm definitely motivated now lol

[DRP967]

You and your lil brother both rocking the reverse panda scheme, looks good.

[.colin]

real nice man!

[88crx]

Do they rub on the inside in the front? And how much camber do you have in the front right now? Fitment is flawless.

[Windchaser]

I miss my white RE30s . . . I still hate that shovel lip of yours.

[chrispychicken]

Every time I click on this thread, one word: Clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the way staggered setup is suppose to be on a FF car!

[knowgood]

Do they rub on the inside in the front? And how much camber do you have in the front right now? Fitment is flawless.
On hard bumps it rubs but other then that nothing. There are holes worn through whats left of the fenderliner. I dont have exact chamber specs but it cant be more then 2 degrees. Too much and it would rub on the coilover

I miss my white RE30s . . . I still hate that shovel lip of yours.
I miss your car period. Its a big part of why i ended up putting money into the ep...i would have bailed on it a long time ago.

Every time I click on this thread, one word: Clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the way staggered setup is suppose to be on a FF car!
Thanks, complents from the nor cal guys mean the most to me lol. I wouldnt have the stagger any other way though. Bigger tires up front are planed for the future

AND new pictures make them say uhhhhhhhh

[chrispychicken]

loving the new pics!

[trippy]

loveee it !! =)good shit

[knowgood]

Thanks guys. The eps just about to be parked for a while. I'm leaving for bmt at the end of July. I gotta order some new lugs for my extended studs and get some ss brake lines and the car will be finished for a while...at least until i get back.

[RickEP3]

SWEET...got me a new wallpaper.

[mr.brightside]

damn dude those regas look so good on your car....sits perfect!

[SUSHI_NE1]
