thanks, ther are 16's wrapped with 205/50/16's.

[04bluepearl]

Car looks great, track times?

[rd02SiR]

Car looks great, track times?


not too sure, cant really remember. But it was a small track, very small, just for time attack. Think good drivers are under 60seconds? But i'll be going to Shannonville track this year to do some track days.

[DA9_GSR]

I really like this car! It's real clean. I don't think these pictures do justice.
It's a priviledge to see you in the rear view. I like the HID / yellow fog light
combo.

P.S. Let me know when you go to Shannonville, I wanna
tag along, maybe even let you take a rip in mine.

[rd02SiR]

edited with a new pic at the top!

[FoReVaPmP]

Me likie teh red... nom nom nom.... :msmile: great photos btw!





P.S. if I was to haz your whip, I would want to see the Volvo lip paintmatch???..... just a thought????:mredface:

[rd02SiR]

hahaha funny you say that. my buddy say a silver ep with rpf1's and the volvo lip and fell in love with it, now he's buggin me to do it lol.

[FoReVaPmP]

:popcorn:

[EPo3Hatch]

Your ep is nice man! I'm happy to see people understand how to tastefully mod these cars. Nice work

[fobman]

i wish my ep was milano red

[Aliperon]

Milano red eps ftw!

[thejdm]

what exhaust are you running?

[rd02SiR]

Spoon axel back, megan midpipe, dc shorty.

[ace of spades]

jealous of the color, I wish it was an option in the US. the stance looks fantastic and I love the shot of the 3 hatches together.

:popcorn:

[rd02SiR]

thanks for the compliments guys!!!

[Type_R_Nammer]

Does your Megan mid pipe sound like rolling thunder when there is heavy rain?

I have the same setup with a stock header and even after adjusting the hinges and removing the heat shield, it still does it.

[McTaggart34]

EWWWWW :tehe:

Just kidding :leghump:

Any engine shots

[rd02SiR]

^ hahahaha

nope no engine shots, nothing much different under there besides a Neuspeed strut bar, and a Optima yellow top.

[04ep3si]

wow thats hot! great looking car man.

[boricua4life]

Milano red eps ftw!

x2 your car looks really nice bro. i wish my paint was as clean as yours! i need to go to the detail shop:(
nice drop on your car, how much is it 2in.?

[Jmage]

Nice clean OEM Milano!!

Did you notice some gain with your exhaust setup considering you have a shorty header and KPro??

[02TWSI]

everytime I see your name, it makes me want to say R2D2SIR :P

[fobman]

lets change colours lol

[rd02SiR]

Not too sure. I'm on Megan coilovers now. The pics with the black rims i'm on neuspeed sport springs, about a 1.5in drop. I think i'm prob about 2-2.5 in from oem.


Nice clean OEM Milano!!

Thanks! I should be getting a rep ctr front and rear lip, and some jdm side skirts to finish her off.

Didn't really notice a big gain, not like the rsx-s. But then again, i'm on a base map, and just tuned out the knocks. I'm sure if i got it professional;ly tuned, i'd notice a bit. But racing against an oem ep, i'd pull away, so i'd say there are some gains.


lets change colours lol

Lets trade cars!!

[rd02SiR]

bump!! New sprummer teaser pics added

[rd02SiR]

updated!

[JJay.]

So sexy D:

[DA9_GSR]

Back from the dead.. Nice!
I heart Milano Red! :love:

[rd02SiR]

Thanks guys! Im actually happy with the way my car looks on the outside for once (besides wanting jdm bumpers).

[RUS_JDM]

Quick question, I love how you have your license plate installed. I want to do mine the same way, any tips?

[El Mocha King]

Your car looks great man! I love the color, I wish they offered it here. Keep it up!

[skoolnu]

sup man, lookin good.

[Bryan144]

Wow is all I have to say. I LOVE THAT COLOR. I would much rather see it in person, those pictures aren't doing the job. Clean ride

[McTaggart34]

Nicest Milano Ever !!!! 613 what up :hay:

[rd02SiR]

Quick question, I love how you have your license plate installed. I want to do mine the same way, any tips?

thanks man, as for tips, I measured the void where the palte was going to go, marked the plate and started to bend with pliers. Then i used a hammer to make it looks flat and even, and then took an ephatch plate cover (that I got from JCEM) and trimmed it to fit! Gotta represent!


sup man, lookin good.

thanks man, long time no see! your car is lookin good too!


Nicest Milano Ever !!!! 613 what up :hay:

[04EP3Hatch]

im totally digging the USDM R lip kit on the MR, might have to copy ya and do it to mine :) hey a friendly tip from a milano red owner to another, get 2 more red bumper lights from the rear and toss them in the front bumper:
