Well guys its been almost 5 years with my ep3, and within almost 100K i can say i am truly happy with my car, and this car in general. i love the EP3 and i want to buy another as a daily, its such a fun vehicle to daily and even at my present engine setup im still clicking off 27mpgs and higher. I've meet some great people on this forum and without it this car would have not came this far. I remember buying this car the ripe age of 17 (1 months before 18th bday) and wondering why the hell i couldnt hear vtec haha. The car i was driving before the EP3 was this bad boy:

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183124_192821887415271_100000623832794_547762_3755 731_n.jpg
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183972_192822390748554_100000623832794_547789_7724 778_n.jpg

i sold the EJ8 after about 1.5 years and a Z6 swap took place of the Y8 I bought the hatch certified used at Sussex Honda for 17,988$ out the door (thats with taxes/titles/liscensing included) with 17K on her.

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189961_192822337415226_100000623832794_547786_6336 630_n.jpg
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/184624_192821974081929_100000623832794_547767_7399 208_n.jpg

and within a week i had the Comptech Icebox installed

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184308_192822370748556_100000623832794_547788_3617 636_n.jpg

I had some rota's on her fast

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183948_192821847415275_100000623832794_547759_5702 48_n.jpg

And from then on it didnt take me long to acquire parts, like my spoilerdepot wing, buddyclub prospec exhaust, JDM badging and union jack badge, carbon hood, and type-r front lip haha

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183255_192822417415218_100000623832794_547790_6483 778_n.jpg
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183866_192822360748557_100000623832794_547787_7503 088_n.jpg
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181503_192822147415245_100000623832794_547777_5798 303_n.jpg

Eventually got the rear lip as well

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/188595_192821764081950_100000623832794_547755_7378 99_n.jpg
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181544_192822304081896_100000623832794_547784_3730 080_n.jpg
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189067_192821747415285_100000623832794_547754_2943 135_n.jpg
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184891_192821900748603_100000623832794_547763_7272 906_n.jpg

Then after a little while i got bored, and thought i didnt like the ep3 so she went to all stock and i sold the rota's and the buyer of the rota's wanted my stock ep3 wheels so we traded ep wheels for 02-04 type-s wheels in preparation for the sale of the car

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/188367_192822197415240_100000623832794_547779_7230 358_n.jpg

but while this was going on a very good freind was reversing in a Sonoma and didnt look out his passenger side window :meek:

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/185921_192822110748582_100000623832794_547775_2943 40_n.jpg

The damage tally was a few cents shy of 3000$ so i took it to a trusted body guy in my area, and then the decision was made to switch the car to Milano Red R81 (door and trunk jams as well)

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184864_192822217415238_100000623832794_547780_6832 785_n.jpg

very nice - what kind of trap speeds?

im not to sure yet, havent ran with this setup. but the evo i raced went 13.2 at 104 and i pulled a little bit on him from a 1st gear roll, about a half car length all the way to 150mph so i'd imagine right around there

thanks a lot bro! i really appreciate that! thats why im not just dumping the A3 or the stock 5speed. i want to go as far as i can, and still drive the car every day. Im kind of lost for a next mod though, as my 99' civic hasnt even been ran in 2 months because i cant stop driving this car, and i want it to stay that way :( i think i might maxbore the throttle body and inlet casting for now, then either skunk2 turbo 1's or the ivtec killer setup

Just a small suggestion......:mangel: The Volvo lip ( IMO) would set your car off on the rite foot :msmile: I don't know if I would color match it, but a black lip would look sick on your car.....:mwink::msmooch::mbiggrin:

sorry this is a bit late, but i'm in favor for the maxbore throttle body and inlet casting and the ivtec killer setup. i'd love to see what numbers you'll be pushing with that set up

07-06-2010, 09:00 PM
ok me and you think on the same page for sure, i thought the same exact thing!

Umm don't do it, you should get a lip that actually sits well on the bumper, not under it and can barely be seen... That volvo lip looks awful, type R lip would look way better, actually any lip would look way better than that. HFP rear lip would look nice on your car too. Perfect contrast, with my favorite colors, black and red!:mtongue:

omg i know, im still deciding on what to do, the maxbore tb and inlet are definate, the i-vtec killer is up the air, i wanna do it but im kind of a scaredy cattt


I still like your car, even though your PM reply was a few months late! I had to look at these pictures a few times before I finally decided to paint mine :mcool:

haha sorry about that! and which color scheme you doin??

Could I go to any honda dealer and see if they can sell me the kit or is it only available at only certain dealers? Usually my experience from ordering parts from honda stores online is that it usually only comes out to a little bit cheaper once you add all the shipping fees...

Hopefully you can get me a price that will actually be worth going for. I'll be crossing my fingers till you give me more info hehe. Oh and my zip is 91770 if that helps your friend figure out shipping.

there all in, the meth pump is mounted down in the wheelwell, the tank is mounted under the hood and the line is tapped in the intake, my three inch exhaust is all done and set, and my crank pulley is awaiting the morning of the tune. my tuner is cutting me a sickSICKsick rate because i am compound,polish, and waxing his new ap1 :) he's also wiring my meth pump to kpro and its game time. my clutch/flywheel is going in the winter and my 225/50/16 Hoosier DOT legals are getting mmounted:

12.xx @ xxx.xx or bust HAHA 12's are the real goal as soon as the track opens in spring

thanks alot man, i dont wanna ditch the A3. i got a few runs with a JRSC 06' Type-S coming up :) he's on 11psi though, thats why ill wait till after the retune ;) but dude dont shy away from the water/meth. its an amazing upgrade for us jrsc guys. as long as the kit in installed properly there's nothing to worry about. solder and shrink your connections and your gold!

04EP3Hatch
10-12-2010, 07:19 PM

OEM baby, fit like a glove!


oh shiz. 10 more days. ur gettin no sleep lol

i know dude im pshyced and im nervous. i have no clue what this thing will do on the dyno. the new pulley definately gave this thing more power in the butt dyno even with the tune being thrown around so much, and thats not even with the meth. there's kids on CRSX that see 30+/- HP just from the meth kits alone

I know how you feel. Can you post up pics of how you mounted the meth pump/tank? Also are you running the check valve setup on the pump to keep it from cycling off/on a hundred times a second? (Keep the pump alive vs crapping out after a few months).

My car put down 230whp with my old mods. I'm hoping with the new header, exhaust, intake, meth, cams, and larger crank pulley I can smash out over 260whp.

PM me man! I need to ask you a few questions on meth tank/pump mounting ASAP. I dyno/tune on Nov 20th so two days after you!

Ah and BTW I found a guy local who has a K24A2 with 16K miles + papers AND a new type R trans and he wants 4K for both. The trans is still in the box and the motor is an 06. LUCKY! I'm picking them up and have already setup getting them in the car late next month/early Jan :mtongue: I need 300-325whp + 75 shot to have a chance at beating anyone around here. After cooler, meth, and N20 FTW. Except the whole pulling over to open the bottle.. remote bottle openers suck when you want to fill the bottle (ask me how I know.......)

Nice runs aswell. Not too many stockish/bolt on cars around here. All we have are 750+whp 240's, 500+whp FDs :mangel:, C6 Z06s, CTS-Vs, and 500+whp Evos.

there she is man. the tank is mounted between the fuse box and valve cover, its a 1.8 quart universal washer fluid tank from autozone. as for a check valve, i dont need to run one supposedly, apparently the check valve is only for use if you rrun the nozzle after the throttle body, therefor it would siphon out of the line but who knows, if i need it ill order it after the tune. and as for the k24a2 and trans that sounds like heaven lol idk about the trans, with the low redline of the k24 that trans would be more harm then good, thats why im sticking with the 5 speed, if you watch video's of a3's with a 6 speed (same redline, 7700-7800) by 100mph they are in the 5th gear. FIFTH! im still in third, making the chance for driver error a lot less, plus youll get to enjoy the torque you have. it wont be there and then gone. Im actually gunning to break 260whp, i think with 3-4more psi, water/meth, and a 3" exhaust should do the trick. if all that doesnt give more than 19whp i will be pissssssssssssssssssssssssssed lol

why put the tank under the hood?? that spot will get hot in no time.

well thats where it is for now, when funds get higher ill get a snow tank and relocate my battery, and mount the tank where the battery was. but surprisingly, yes, the fluid does heat up, but by the time it travels down into the pump and up into the intake, it's cold again. thats the wonderful cooling properties of methanol :)

I love your car! I have a JRSC on a 97 coupe with a built D16 in it. I have been debating water meth on and off and will be purchasing it this winter. Yours shows that water meth does make a difference power wise, though I am more worried about cooling the motor since it has slightly higher compression than stock.

Do you have your car tuned with or without the water meth?

i have it tuned with the switch on and the switch off, so essentially yes, and the funny part is, we could have made over 280hp but we decided to keep it safe since i no longer have a failsafe, if the pump fails full throttle i have no way of knowing, until i get my status flow sensor from cooling mist :)

hmmm i didnt think to weigh them, theyre not the lightest, but theyre not horrible lol
