    Rebuilding from the ground up: Ed's story

    To start off i bought this 2003 ep3 8/14 after selling my Turbo Ek Sedan and my Turbo Miata. Did it mostly cuz i wanted a newer car with luxuries lol and did it for the at the time gf.

    Old cars






    when i first brought her home




    picked up some gram lights and an air walker replica lip with tein super street coilovers. along with some depo type r replica headlights and 04-05 taillights and OEM window visors



    also picked up a 02 ep3 for dirt cheap for myself



    how the ssm ep looked right before it was taken away from me



    how i got her back from my ex. cf hood missing, bald tires, no brakes, no exhaust, cut springs on blown shocks, pretty much stock again :(



    got her back to running condition. picked up a type r spoiler, oem side skirts, oem visors, type r replica front lip and new wheels. also had to get 2 new front calipers with pads, new fenders, and megan racing street coilovers.



    after battleing major depression i started putting work into her and parted out the black ep.
    5 lug conversion with the ukdm Type R calipers. also picked up some Volk Racing GT-Ns



    Painted the volks red and picked up a mugen rep front lip



    also picked up a JRSC along with some Recaro bucket seats with a NRG quick release and Mugen pedals.




    picked up a JDM rear bumper with lip and a mugen rep spoiler with Type r taillights and Type R side skirts



    and recently picked up a preface jdm bumper but looking to get a facelift one soon

    Looking good so far. Like the wheels, but not so much the color. Do some Type-R Recaros in the front and get a JDM back seat maybe? Glad to hear youre out of your depression. Modding and taking care of my cars has always helped me battle that type of thing.

    few new shots, painted the preface bumper and picked up an air walker lip, matched the hood silver, and a few other goodies.
