[gtimportfanatic]

[monjarassi]

[skoundrelusa]

Question about those wheels: Did you have to do alot of camber and fender work?

[der3k]

Question about those wheels: Did you have to do alot of camber and fender work?

I cut the insides of the fenders out with an air saw, and installed a front and rear camber kit. Running around a negative 2.5 camber. Not much rubbing at all.

[der3k]

Looking good, i seen ur ride at ifo houston!!

thanks bro

[der3k]

wat times were u running at the track? .. i love ur EP

Thanks alot. Its embarrising slow. My best was a 13.8. That was with no boost controller and stretched tires which had no traction. I need to get a Hondata system and tune it. Ill run it again one year, when I finish it.

Thanks, Its a work in progress. I know I wanna go with the JDM Type R style. Hopefully it wont look like an Si for much longer.

HAHAHA yeah! I'll work for it.!

iS THAT NEW RIMS? NICE

[monjarassi]

Lookin good!!

[EpThreeD]

Niiice.

[jubaque]

quick question here,

Do u change the pistons when u put on the turbo?
Last time I used to drive Evo3 (now EP3 :) ) and I know tubo best run on Low Compression Pistons
But our Vtec run on High Compression Piston.
How many PSI can u boost with stock piston?
Sorry to ask this, still new in VTEC world.

[der3k]

Im running the stock pistons, you can boost about 14 pounds.

[sleepy ep3]

nice, i always dream of having turbo-charged vtec!
Its a lot of fun. :mangel::tehehyper:

[Hondatuner87]

Hey whats going on bro? I remember meeting you at the houston import faceoff.

[der3k]

Question about those wheels: Did you have to do alot of camber and fender work?

You would have to cut or roll your fenders. Then get a front and rear camber kit. I have my camber set on -2

[der3k]

[Hondatuner87]

hey whats up.

nothing much man, just started a new job. ep's almost paid off (one more payment) trying to find money for parts hahah!

[frankybeanzep3]

the xd9's look official!

[der3k]

I installed D2 coilovers, and set them as low as possible with out removing any perches. They're bouncy, almost too bouncy. I set the camber to front -0.8, rear -1.8. Also installed the CF Type R front lip, thinking of painting it black.

[88crx]

Looks nice man!

I think my next wheels are going to be xd9's too. Any close up pics of the front wheel gap?

No I didnt have to do that. Yea these D2 coilovers go low. I would recommend them.

[ImACoolKid89]

I love the Ep broski..!
How much that greddy kit run..?

[der3k]

Thanks bro, The kit is about $2500 or 3k depending on where you get it.

[der3k]

I just realized my rear wheels are hitting the bumper tab and making the bumper want to pop off.

[vermilionsi]

[15000rpms]

[der3k]

The car is an 03 Si. I put the Type R badges on it. Some people wouldnt put them on cause its not a Type R, but I like the way they look. We dont have the Type R in the States so its rare to see.

[ep3jd]

the SIR has usdm spec bumpers, but is still an siR so that was my question braaaaaaaaah
