Welcome to EPhatch!

And congrats on the purchase, no need to feel bad about purchasing a car already modified, it actually makes the learning curve for the car alot bigger, but we are here to answer your questions and help out !

If anything, you're lucky to get a modded car! First thing I would do though is get rid of the lowering springs. They don't really help handling that much, definitely not enough to compensate for the potholes and bumper rash from bottoming out.

Can't wait to see pics!

Congrats and welcome to the family.

Nothing wrong with buying a modded car (that wasnt abused of course lol)
My friend was selling his 2001 Integra GSR that was modded with JDM front end, RPF1s, Spec II exhaust, lowered with GC/Koni....i would have loved to copped that car at the time but i had no money. Buying a modded car FROM SOMEONE YOU KNOW is cool cause all the work is done for you haha.

Anyways enough chit chat, have fun with the EP3 and post pictures.

Sounds like a clean "build" however, and there's still plenty that can be done. Get new shifter bushings and you'll love the feel of running to third. Post up a picture, i'm interested to see how the roof looks and what the dash set up is like. You'll love the ep3!

Yeah I was thinking the same. Just look at it like you have a decent platform to start off with. I had no idea aem had SS for our cars. Congrats and welcome to ephatch. Post some pics when you get a chance.

Thanks a lot all you guys!
Picking it up today i cant wait!

i was looking at a thread for meets but the closest is Bear MT. If anyones in Northern New Jersey maybe we can set up a meet
Bear mountain is about an hour drive away from me but thats a whole hour of fun!

Hopefully me and my bro will get a photo shoot going tomorrow if its a nice day

The black roof actually doesn't look bad at all it flows right into the Type R spoiler perfectly in my opinion
This is a great forum i love it

The black roof must look great. I love the Bear Mountain Parkway, up by Indian Point. It's 15 minutes from my house but I'm at college which is 3 hours away, otherwise we'd tackle that road and meet up somewhere!

I always loved the sound of Magnaflow exhausts, deep and throaty. Although they never seemed loud enough for me, just bassy but thats a good thing. Ive been running a straight pipe from the cat back and anything with a muffler is just not loud enough anymore lol.
