Hey Gang!
I'm new to EPhatch. I just bought an 03 ep a few days ago, and haven't gotten a chance to take any actual pics, but I took a few on my phone and uploaded because I was too impatient to wait to get some better ones haha.

I used to have an 02 cooper s that I worked on (mainly suspension for auto x), and traded it for a Jeep because my wife (as of two months ago!) thought she wanted one, and the mini was starting to go down fairly quickly. Needless to say that lasted 4 months, and I had to get another hatchback - I couldn't stay away from the tuning world haha. Traded the jeep for the ep, and I love it (even after a 300 mile drive to get it)!

I look forward to getting to know you all, and learning more about this Honda thing!

Here are a few pics.. sorry they are lame :(

Welcome to the Hatch!

Nice clean stock EP3 you got there! Gotta love stock EP3 so you can mod them how you want and like you want.

Just a lil hint if you're into ShortShifters, Buddyclub (who made the best shortshifter for the EP3) have discontinued their product. So if you can get a hand on one a soon as possible I'll recommend it to you because soon they will get really hard to find!

Have fun with your new toy :)

It's been a year since I posted on this page... I just wrapped up my last year of grad school, and finally have time to start modding the car - now I just need some money haha... Nothing has changed on the EP, got hit with "life" and had to spend a ton of money on other things. Which clearly set me back on modding anything.

I did just put the new Tein Basis on though. I really dig them.. I had racelands, long story short one of them started coming undone and they are sending me a new one. I've been browsing the site for the past year reading and learning. I look forward to actually diving in and getting something accomplished with my EP.

thanks for such an awesome resource - i love this forum

My Buddy pretty much gave me these Rota's... Thought I would snap a few pics before work today and share. I didn't think I would like 17's, but I kind of dig the stance. They could use a little touching up, but all in all, not too bad.

Michael Corleone: Just when I thought I was out. . .they pull me back in.


but in EPs case: instead of getting a sugar stroke you get hit with:
1.) CEL indicating O2 Sensor
2.) Tranny 2nd to 3rd grinding issues.

Thanks for the compliment, and I don't mind answering question at all! 2008 Jeep Wrangler, silver (top down and doors off = amazing, but not what I love)
120,000 miles on the ep.

Check out what I, literally, ripped off of my car today
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae259/coreyjohnston23/photo.jpg

Everything on the exhaust was rusted together, and i literally pulled this off while we were trying to install my Skunk 2, I'm going to have to get it cut off. I've been looking to buy a rh and just needed a reason, looks like I found one today haha.
