Haha not that its dirty, but theres just random wires strewn across and the gas canisters for the shocks are mounted all randomly. lol I guess Im just a stickler for things being proper.

I know what you mean, they're not for everybody. I'm not a big fan of JDM because it's too status quo for some people. But recently I've been long term thinking of tracking the Ep3 (everybody says that, lol) and the only following I can find for it that is well documented for the average bum like me is in Japan. I really like how some of them take a very functional over form approach to tracking their Ep3s. I love some of the UK builds, but man are some of their builds get expensive (not that JDM isn't expensive)! I just want an Ep3 I can drive from my house to Watkins Glen twice a year for HPDE, have fun and drive back home.

Sweet, how much? I'm strapped for cash because of plans for the BBQ, but I may be able to squeeze it in.

Ive done 100 laps on my local track(for fun)+ 15000miles on the road over the last year in the CTR, which is still pretty stock. Service at honda every 6000miles, brake pads, rotors and tires is the cost so far. But im allways drooling over parts and thinking about what to do next :P The Ep3 can take a beating, or any honda for that mattter.. Is fun when the folks that run the track tell storyies about how often they have to close the track on trackdays for other brands.. espesially when there is a overwheight of RWD on the track... Last time i was there with the honda club we dident close the track at all.. 9 hours, 50 cars and no accidents what so ever :) Well there was a mint condition turboed EF hatch that hit a stable of tires with the rear quarter panel, but the track dident close, if the owner hadent let his friend drive his car nothing would have happend..
