So Im selling the EP3 have a buyer and I just wanted to post up a members ride one last time...who knows maybe Ill buy a beater EP2 in japan? So heres a little history behind my EP and its changes...Ive lost a few of the pics but it all started with my EM2 Had most of the suspension for the EP3 on the EM2 and transfered it to the EP3 when I got it...The EP3 was my second brand new car...only a year of owning the EM2 i knew I hated it....lol. So heres a bunch of the mods to the EP...Ive had the mugen replica USDM lip on the car ive gone through some seats and all the wheels have changed a little and then alot...Love me some Rays. Ill miss the EP but Im gonna move to a bigger and better car when I return to the USA.

Love your soon to be old ride, but what did you not like about the bride seats. I thoght about getting those!

Theyre super tight....I liked that for a while. Theyre super low...I liked that period. Theyre super hard...no cushion for your but...Bigger people barely fit in em. Theyre just not great all around seats. The Recaros are...so thats why I got em.

I look into that, but what are you building next. One question do you like your tein flex set up. I was thinking of getting the HKS RS coilovers for the rsx and getting rsx tie rods.
