Migeezy's '02 NHBP EP3

[MIGEEZY]

Sup EPHatch!

Now that I think my car is worth of being on the member's rides page I'll post it up. Just installed my type-s 5 lug conversion last weekend that I had for a couple years. Was piecing together all the parts I wanted for it over the years. Finally had the time and parts to install, so I got to it. I got my 2002 EP in December of '08 iirc. It's my first car and still my only car, I love it. The mods began when I finally paid it off a few years back. I ran into this site just browsing the internet for info on my car. I've been on the forum for many years, bought many parts from fellow EPHatchers. Ive learned a lot of useful information about my car. Can't say it enough, EPHatch is the best forum out there. It's like everyone on here is family.lol there's not much love for the EP3, but we know their potential. That's why I love this car. Not everyone wants one, and even less put time, money and effort into them. Here's mine!

Looks good. Weren't you selling your SSR bumper and lip combo not too long ago ? Hope you weren't considering in selling the car

Either way, car looks promising. Upload those pics !

[MIGEEZY]

I was sellng those parts, decided not to. I'm still looking for an authentic front end. I haven't ever considered selling my car, love it too much.lol

[MIGEEZY]

Some OEM goodness! A bunch of misc. parts I needed. Shout out to AutoFair Honda.

Still need to order both door lock actuators and new floor mats. Also gonna get both red H's and OEM window visors.

Also looking for a complete car jack tool set. If anyone is selling theirs reply to post or pm me.

Can you guys guess what I picked up this weekend?

[MadLorEP3]

Nice progress bro!!! Damn nice seats.

[MIGEEZY]

Thanks man. Your ep is amazing!

[MIGEEZY]

So I picked up ep3 recaros. Love them! They're so damn comfortable!!!





I kind of want lower seat rails, but that might be down the road. Not that they're not good where they're at right now. Just would like to be able to adjust the height.

Im planning on getting a new set of Si floor mats, idk if I want to get the ctr carpet. Think it might be too much red for me, we will see. But that would pretty much complete my interior for me. Ctr rear seats, ctr door panels and ctr recaros. The ctr steering wheel would be a nice piece to have too.

And I need to get honda center caps, those Acura ones bug the crap out of me. If you got some for sale let me know.

Should be picking up a couple more ctr parts soon, so stay tuned!

Nice purchase. How is it getting in and out of them ? It's a bit of a mission to get into and out of my Buddy Clubs.

I also feel the CTR carpet is a bit much red for our interiors.

These seats have more cushion so I feel like I sit a little higher than the stock seats. But I get out easier in these than the old ones. Before I felt I had to take a little step up to get out and in these I sit higher so it's easier getting out.

I wanted to go with the dc5 recaros, but read that they were narrower. I had a chance to sit in both and the ep3 seats are more comfortable. They also got the leg support things that pull out and make sitting in them even better! Cheaper than the dc5 seats and these were a direct bolt in with no modifications, it was a no brainer getting these. Plus they're the ep3 ctr stock seats, they complete the car!
