Cousin in bakers hit me up on spotting this ride in town . I need to see how the meets have changed since last there

[jed_averill]

Very nice. I wish I picked up an 04-05. Didn't know they were different with the 02-03.

[-LAW-]

GAME OVER !!! HOT STUFF !!!

[chrispychicken]

looking good! My car almost looks like yours except for the wheels and the front mugen lip and grill.

[sleepy ep3]

All show, no go. Lol just kidding. Very clean. Your body and interior mods probably cost what my swap and turbo setup did

[wilpezash]

Clean and oem .... time for an engine upgrade to match that exterior

Thanks.
I have a couple more stuffs that I really want , planning to do the swap early next year if everything goes according to plan.

Sad, but true I'm taking my time on that one, K20A3 only has 60k.
Thanks bud.

Hey maybe I'll see you around in Bakersfield heading down there to visit family. No ep though taken wife's dc5 ..

[wilpezash]

damn bro, i got to say your car is wayyy to legit haha thats an awesome looking ride. i like the fact it's not slammed on the ground or has hellaflush wheels, your car stays true to less is more, extremely usable on the street and probably can still have a balls load of fun on the road course! two thumbs wayyy up! now... JRSC :)

Thanks man, not really into those kind of setup. I'll try to finish my suspension setup this year
and start on the motor next year.

hey get me a whole type R =)

Sweet going back to the ep game. I'll let you know man, I'm having a hard time
sourcing front bumpers. Those suckers are getting harder to find.
