So its been a while since I've been a daily contributing member of this site and I do miss it here. I have found it to be less friendly on some of the newer sites I've been frequenting. For those of you who don't remember me here is what my ep looked like

when it had a lot of pre-facelift jdm stuff and won rotm

then I started to convert it to facelift style

Aaron had CTR fenders and so did I for like one month (I wanted to put Ferrari side markers on them, but I never got around to it . . . I still have the markers).

Casey, that car is gay LOL.

Yeah there were a few others but not many. I really liked them actually. Sorry to hear you parted, you ep was looking awesome last I knew. Whats next?

I honestly love it. Even though it is underpowered it handles like a champ. I've been looking into swaps or turbo though, so hopefully I'll get mid 200's. I think I wouldn't want any more than that in this car.

Thanks man! I was so bummed when your ep went down, but couldn't of been happier when you picked up Dom's. I almost bought it, but ephatch crashed for a bit and I lost contact with him and fell upon the spyder. So I think it worked out the best for both of us. Can't wait to see what you do to it.

unfortunately, bout to be 100% on my own so I can't really afford a new car for awhile. Gonna drive the EP stock for awhile, save up and eventually get a supra. I've wanted one for a long time

ok stealth, he of the many different cars and parts to go with them. I loved your ep, so clean. What happened to the sti? do you still have it or did you just get rid of it for the spyder? and as for the spyder...twin turbo and get a shit ton of power. who cares if you cant plant it, because it would still be sweet.

stealth

08-24-2010, 10:47 AM

:) Sti is gone. Have an is250 and the spyder now. And I may throw a k20 in it haha. I haven't decided yet.

i second the idea of throwing a k20 in there. the management for the 2zz is like non-existant. Emanage... woopie fricken doo.
do they still make the TRD lip kit for the spyder?

Nope they stopped years ago. Good thing I just traded my volks for an authentic lip kit :) It is soo hard to find an authentic kit for the spyder. If you do it is like $2k used.

now that would be sick. which k20? you would be so quick with that little car a K20...and a peakboost turbo :D

preferably k20a but it will depends on a few things

why do i see an exige in your future... the spyder is a good platform to enter Lotus Country.

stealth

08-24-2010, 11:00 AM

I almost got an elise but for around $20k I'll have a car that performs pretty close and has an interior/exterior I like better :) Plus no one knows what my car is haha. I don't track my car and if I end up doing it once in a while it still wouldn't be enough to justify the cost of a lotus.

Nice Spyder!

A friend of mine has one. I take it you bought it with the hard top...

stealth

Yeah that was the one thing I made sure it had. Its a European/Japan only option so I didn't want to deal with getting one or paying the $2500-3k for one.

Honestly, I loved the car. But there are a couple reasons I got rid of it. Needed something more friendly for my girl to drive (she hated the sti) as we share the "good" car and I still wanted something fun to play with so I got rid of the subie for a Lexus is250 (we need the awd in the winter) and the spyder (I've always wanted one). A couple other reasons too but those are the main ones.

nice MR btw

Oh it was, but you missed the part about my gf (of almost 9yrs so basically married) hating the car. The seats weren't height adjustable, the clutch was heavy, the interior actually was very disappointing for what we paid for it... so it made sense to get something where if I went out of town she'd be fine driving. Thats where the Lexus came in. But I couldn't deal with not having something to play with so I bought the spyder as I had always liked them.

Yeah man...they are extremely HARD to find, but they SET OFF the car right.

If you do plan to do a K-Swap I will be bugging you, LOL. I have been getting on my friend to do the K-Swap over the other motor options...

I had an 03 mrs before, its a good car, just very very small.... I put a lot of money into mine, searching for good parts was really hard... traded it in, got me an ep.... much better now.... has a lot of space compared to the mrs!

It is small but super fun. Once in a while the lack of space sucks but then I just get in the other car ;) I'm contemplating selling it though to help with the down payment on a house, but I don't know if I could actually let it go

I am looking into getting a MR2, just cant decide on 2nd gen or 3rd gen. 3rd gen only looks good imo if it not stock, looks so clean with some rims and drop, but 2nd gen comes turbo'd (if i were to get one) sssssspoooosh

Third is the lightest and seemed more fun to drive than the mk2, but its hard to beat the sound of the blow off, haha.

Yeah just got the stance set finally, took a while to get it right. I'm supposed to do a shoot with a really good photographer who has the boom setup ( I think thats what its called, where it hooks to your car and shoots moving shots ) So your wish may be granted!
