The Daily driven build from socal Ep3

[RealEp3]

Little background on my ep3
77,000 miles when I baught it originally NHBP but the previous onwer decided otherwise.
Only reason I purchased the car was for the low miles and clean title and always wanted a ep3 😄👍

My goal is to build a nice daily driven car without the crazy camber, or some crazy motor setup but something unique which is why I opted to get a ep3 and not something more popular like a rsx or ek and stance it out and follow a trend. Instead I want to set a trend.



the day I officially baught the ep3
4/16/2013

Needed a lot of work new paint new wheels new tires new light everything exterior wise dam car was riced the f out 👎😠

5/10/2013

Plasti dip the entire car and replaced the headlights Depo replica type r

Nothing really happen for a few months after just drove it here and their replaced the brakes, flushed the oil,flushed the transmission fluid, got some 17×7 rims on 215/45 and added a front replica lip.

[Ubeyo]

dam those are some fat tires! xD whats the offset on those bad boys?

[RealEp3]

Update so my wheels do not fit did some research with the serial number and they are 4×114 so now I am kinda torn I'll either have them rebarreled or sold

Lame! Just get the holes drilled bigger... Or are the holes too big?

[RealEp3]

Yes I am going to have it done professional so I am going to contact wheelflip see what they can offer me I actually like these wheels a lot. Don't see ep3 on BBS. It's a shame though the money for my suspension is going to now be used for the wheels instead...

Dam thats unfortunate man... Patience is key! And when you put those wheels on im sure the fatties with 45 profile will fill that gap nicely... The height looks good as it is anyways!
