Good morning, thought id share my new project that ive started,

The only thing ive done so far is remove the Rotas for some stocks, and this weekend ** be refitting the stock exhaust over the HKS cat back.
I plan to return to stock atm so need a trip to honda for all boot badges etc, stock stereo, and refresh bits.

Excuse the poor pics,
Rotas,

I have those rotas in bronze on mine and they look much better than stock on a black ep3.

But you definitely made the right choice going back to OEM on the white.
Looks 1000x better anyway :)
 
Cheers, if they where bronze it may have looked better, it was the previous owners choice, ive always wanted a white EP3, And ive decided to do a clean stock one,
 
Following on from this, ive spent the last two days prepping, removing and cleaning to protect the very poor coat of unserseal that honda put on. i was going to do it white but thought it would look tatty very soon so went with black,
Couple of pic

Nice! I think the black underseal is the better choice too, least you can see where you've covered with it!

I want to replace the parking permit sticker on the Stagea, first clean the car got it disappeared when the jet wash hit it.
 
Cheers, it's coming along .
I'm pleased with the outcome , it's gone rock hard too which is perfect.
The place I got the decals from has the permit sticker too dude I did think about getting it to put didn't want to go ott

This the one? My pulsar had the very same
 
That's looking ace and a real good job of the under seal. Out of interest what brand of undersell did you use?
Cheers
 
This Weekend saw a new bumper ion from honda as mine was looking tatty. i can see why they rust up on all ep's as the paint was so thin the welds had spots of bare metal showing so would rust up again quickly, i put a lick of paint on it to cover it up,

The sportex is fine as no rasp sound with the resonated version which is what I was after , it's a tiny bit more louder and little more punch at lower rpm I believe but this could just be wishful thinking but I'm sure removing the tiny stock b-pipe helps

That sounds perfect i was thinking of getting a stainless steel one but i like the idea of getting a sportex one just to keep it a little more oem.

Soul reason I removed the hks system and fitted this set up as wanted an oem look.. didn't want the non red as not a fan of the rasp sound,
