[usedep3]

damn congrats bro!

i've been looking for a cheap ep to use as a DD. my gf swears she'll break up with me but it would be good to have a spare ep to scavenge parts off of in the future.

[RedSiBaron]

Oh damn! Awesome stuff!!...why do I have a feeling you and I will end up still running this joint a decade from now with like 7 eps each and only 1 or 2 that run hahaha...cuz im hoping to pick up another ep eventually after I finish my current one...

You remind me of how I rescue old 84-87 civics and crxs (I think I own 6? I've forgotten)...honda rescue crew UNITE! :gheywa:

idk much about it, but is the ridgeline not beast enough? lol

[ImportCustomx]

the ridgeline won the Baha race...it was modified..but not like the 3 million dollar trophy trucks... ridgeline is ftw. If you plan on pulling an entire house down the road and towing a 40ft trailer..your not going to obviously buy a low end chevy ford etc...your spending serious cake.

honda ridgeline ftw

[ImportCustomx]

and now for the pics :mangel:
she was very dirty...very neglected.

this is how she was before :

she just needs some simple loving...alot of cleaning..some wet sanding..alot of touchup. hood chips are pretty large and rusty :(...ill have her clean once the weather warms up.

And for the haters that say "oh you bought the skunk2 ep3" bought not built.. eat a cack, i probably have more swaps and full car builds then you :P

[ImportCustomx]

here are the after :

Phew...cleaned up

personally i hate the wheels..but i have factory wheels too thank god!

lowered on eibach springs :/. Everything will be getting changed out in a few months.

[sifrk32]

by the look of how the interior was taken care of.. are there a lot of scratches on the vinyl and plastic?

great find though! sounds like you have a fun project ahead of you. and yes...im jealous.:mbiggrin:

[ImportCustomx]

yeah the interior was trashed...shit stuck to the carpet..all the silver trim pieces have been scratched..so ill be refinishing those this weekend.

seats were okay thank god. but the stereo is just floating there. not bolted in.

the cupholders and storage thing and ebrake area were covered in like, spilled coke sticky ness, tons of trash...

the headliner is smoke stained or something so i have to take that out.

[sifrk32]

the headliner is smoke stained or something so i have to take that out.
When I used to smoke religiously my headliner was stained as well. I just used water with a tiny bit of laundry det. & softener on a damp cloth and wiped it all down. Worked great.

I too am going to clean my interior rigorously just from being a DD when it gets warmer. I plan on just ripping out as much of the interior I can and refurbishing the black plastics. I found a great diy video on youtube for it if you need the link i'll post it up after work.

[FoReVaPmP]

IMMA HATER!!!!..... I wanted a white Ep3..... U BISH!!!! :mmad:

[ImportCustomx]

haha...sorry Forevapmp...its mine :) 2 now!

some kid in another thread told my my car was wack because it was bought no built..I've spent enough time turning wrenches...it was cheaper to buy it then to build it..plus I've done enough in my time. i think 1 ep build in 2003-2005 when the k was brand new, and people were hatin, is enough

define the term "built" ep back in 2003-2005. i just wanna know what you did to it.

[ImportCustomx]

northing too crazy...but at the time it was only the parts avail. AEM cold air intake, dc header, Buddy Club pro spec exhuast, test pipe, port and polish the head lightly at a local machine shop.
suspension wise i used an rsx AEM big brake kit on the front, tein basic's all around, custom stainless braided lines had made, buddy club p1sf wheels. edm front end, red carpet inside, recaro door panels before they were recaro door panels, double din dvd player at one point...a few other things im probably missing.

ill have to see if i have the build thread in a word file or something on my old computer.

here is one of the CRX's i did...my other one i didnt do a build thread online.
i also made a few how-to's for everyone along the way.
