:welcome: Dude, I like your current setup the best, too! Good job on ditching the wheels... I like the current ones way better.

[Tnhatch03]

welcome!

keep up the good work!

I like everything except for the front grill. I have no idea whats going on with that.

[Hasbro]

I like the grill but it's hard to see what you've done. Elaborate, please.

[ryan02]

Hahaha the front grill is my attempt to be different until I actually buy one. Its the original debadged grill, wrapped twice in pet resistant window screen from home depot for about $7.

I kinda liked the 'no grill' look, but didnt like how you could see the radiator. This was my solution

[hondaguy92129]

nice! I like the current setup best as well :p If you dont mind me asking, why did you get a new steering bracket?

[Passenger]

looks good. Glad to see you jump on our side.

[02_epdriver]

Good look! Keep it flowin

[MugenReplica]

Welcome to Ephatch!! Love the look of your Ep3!! Stop by and hang out anytime you please.

[ryan02]

My car came with skunk2 springs, and one of the stock tie rods was actually bent because of the angle. 0857's bracket raises the mounting point about and inch.

Well I've been lurking for a while, but I've been busy this week.

but I made/making some recent purchases and started working this week:

A-spec suspension
Hotchkiss camber plates
ES Master Bushing kit
05-06 RSX front subframe brace
05-06 RSX rear strut tower gussets
JDM rear gusset tie bar
JDM aluminum B-pillar floor brace
25mm Cusco rear sway bar

Cant wait to get it all on and aligned and take it for a drive!!

Pics coming soon!!
