Hello guys and gals, I've had a 1991 crx-si, 1990 prelude si, 1993 civic ex coupe with a b18c1 swap.. and more recently two VW's (stock turbo yay)
So you can see where I'm coming from.. my resume I guess you could call it, here is the last VW i built; 2003 GTI 1.8t, 330whp on low boost, 420whp on high boost:

I just bought a car that a lot of people are familiar with.. some know it as the T1 Race Development EP3, some know it as Mitch's EP3, some know it as the fastest EP3 in North America (10.9 in the 1/4 mile).
I've always been of the opinion that a car is worth more if you build it yourself, instead of buying one already built.. but after driving this car i had to recognize it for what it is.. an amazing machine regardless of whether it was my sweat blood and money or someone else's. Mitch is a great friend who gave me a great deal on a great car.. can't really complain at all.
Tony at T1 and Mitch get full credit for building this car, I'm just stoked to be able to enjoy it. My goal is to make a few aesthetic changes and to get the car in a magazine or two.. and to not kill myself driving it :yes:
