my dads 98 lexus took a crap on him so he needed a new car asap. I had a modded 04 em2 in auto and im in the process of putting that back to stock and giving it to him. I only payed $11000, asking price was $16,000 for an 04 nhbp with 6800 miles on it and i got a repainted rear bumper for free because it had deep scratches in it......oh and i got such a good deal cause im a mechanic at a honda dealer not too far lol

i dont have pictures yet but here are some of my em2, i hated it being automatic

now if you look close i had the rear disc conversion from an 02 ep3 i bought from the member thaseint about a year ago

first mods are lowering it since my tokico shocks on the em2 fit the ep3 so ill just be buying some h&r springs since the review looked good on them. Than its the skunk 2 exhaust and a short ram intake of course, wheels and the hfp kit...not too sure on them yet

U lucky bastard....6800 miles for 11k? Thats a steal!
But if u keep the ep half as clean as that em then it definatly is going to a worthy owner.

I almost got a deal like that (not nearly as good) but it was a 1 owner 2001 GTi, 30k miles, $9,995. I was too late though, and ended up paying $11k for my EP with just under 42k miles.

congrats on the new car! looks like it's going to get the attention it deserves!

and your signature pic:rofl:
