The one thing i liked about this forum - it's not a flamewars forum like many others.

i'll keep posting the little i do, read, etc. you guys have been cool as hell :)

I have sold the ep3..... champ white paint, k20z1 swap, jdm recaros...... gone :(

onto bigger things in the long run.

Bought a Honda Si FA5 (4 door, white)...gonna do HFP suspension, skirts, rims and call it a day. kind of tired of the modding scene......

the sale of the EP3 was the hardest for me, out of ALL my cars. it was by far the most reliable by far. never once did it let me down....

i never had a car payment, and with the sale of the ep3 (plus more)- i bought my FA5 cash..so, no payments....which is one thing i liked about the ep3..i hate car payments. LOL

I'm glad you stayed with the Honda family. The 06-present Si's are a hoot!
You're gonna love it! I'm very interested to see the HFP suspension and lip kit.
Post some pictures of it when you have it all HFP'd up. Don't forget about us.

Smart buy. Perhaps looking to do the same sometime in the future.

Real happy for you on the new buy.

This post reminds me of everytime I go to a honda dealership to just look around... every damn saleperson always asks me if i'm willing to upgrade to the new Si.
Me and my wife look at each other and start laughing. The sales person then looks puzzled and asks why we laughing...
Our response is: "you want a ride?" After the drive... the sales person says... "the new civic would be a downgrade for you".

Every person has an opinion... I guess thats why there exists colors.

Nice I'll be buying one of these in the near future cash though I too dislike the thought of a monthly payment, but ill still keep the ep as a project

i got into it, as life kinda needed it at this moment.

i think once im done my masters in biology and school is over, i'll be getting an ep3 as a track wh0re to beat on like a red headded step child.

the ep3 for me was the most reliable i've had ever.... fantastic car - it was hard to let go!

and no, i wont stop coming here..i like the pics too much and the people here are always good to each other.

Whoever got your EP is getting a wonderfully prepped car. Sad to see it go, but I'm sure you'll come back to the EP chassis eventually. I'm liking the new ride though!

Sad to see a clean EP like that go elsewhere, but the new car is nice. I feel you too on the mod scene, I got tired of it myself, which is why I got the Shelby. Don't have to do anything to it and can just enjoy driving it. Even though I still have the EP, the modding of it is done. Post some pics once you get the tidbits on the FA5!

sad to see your car go. Did you sell it to a guy from Toronto/Etobicoke/Mississuaga by chance?? I went to my local time hortons where guys usually hang out on tuesdays and saw a car exactly like yours minus the rainbow and stick guy stickers. But good to see you stayed with Honda.

yah, he's from toronto. he has been spotted EVERYWHERE.

the one thing i like about the sale of my previous cars is that when i sold them, i never heard about them again.

the day this car gets impounded, stolen, accident - im gonna hear about it right away. ugh
