first time honda owner here, folks! really happy to finally take the step to purchase a civic, yet alone a honda. for the longest time, i kept my distance due to the amount of theft civics in general have, but i've always liked the EP3 since its release. now that i'm in a better position to support my car "build", i pulled the trigger and bought one. and "build" because lowering your car with wheels is not a real build lol

i bought a 2005 ep3 in vivid blue about a month ago. its in pretty rough condition. car has dings and dents, scratches, one hold in the rear bumper, worn out driver seat, worn steering wheel, a very loud exhaust, and stunk of tree. it also had its check engine light on for P0420. but, against my better judgement, i bought it anyway.

since purchasing, i've...
- replaced the cat
- replaced o2 sensors
- installed a yonaka cat-back exhaust
- installed skunk 2 rear camber arms
- purchased replica type r wing

current goal -- nice lowered daily
i'm in my 30s now. i've had my fun with the stance life and being loud for no reason.

i'm really digging the HFP kit. if i can get my hands on a legit set, please point me in the right direction. or, if there is a good replica set, let me know. if anything i may purchase from Aeroworks.

plans:
- lower on Tein Street Basis Z coilovers
- 17" wheels -- my ideal specs: 17x8 +35 (may sport some evo8 wheels i have)
- HFP kit
- repaint the car eventually (staying with the original color)
