Thats damn good milage for an anniversary, and not too bad a price considering. I got mine for 2700 with 83k on, really clean as well.

Never did a progress thread on the other 2 EP3s but I will on this one.
So, I bought this off a member here, Schiller. It is a 2006 EP3 in Satin Silver. 45000 on the clock. The bonus is that it is a JDM import.
It has been slammed with raceland coil overs. Not to my taste. It also has a spoon N1 and spoon B-pipe. Not forgetting the potential hydrolocking from the AEM V1 CAI.
All those mods are going to be stripped off to start with.
Unfortunately, I live in London, where there are more speed bumps than straight untouched road.
First thing - is to get the handling side sorted. Going back to an Eibach pro kit.
Will post pics when I get those fitted.

Got my hands on a Fujitsubo Legalis R.
Also got the J's Racing Tsuchinoko carbon intake.
What a piece of kit. It replaces the AEM CAI that was previously fitted. Removing the CAI, I proceeded by taking the bumper off. I would have needed to fit the J's anyway.
Out came the CAI and on went the J's:
Fitting was a pig. There isn't really much room in the engine bay. Got the initial base box fitted and then plumbed in the new hose and attached the filter.
Next up I fitted the scoop and trimmed my bumper and grill.
Bumper fitted now
Looking good too!!!
Not to mention also got some castor increase bushes too.
Car has been at TGM just before Christmas. Had the major service done and a few other things.
Tom has fitted a new clutch along with a 5.1 final drive.
He had fitted my Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust, braided brake lines, new rocker cover too.
Will have to ensure there is no sand residue.
Let's give a special mention to RickHondaR footwell lights too!
