Hi everyone! My name is Elliot and about a few weeks ago I became a proud owner of a 2004 Satin Silver EP3.
A little history first if that's okay. I can actually still remember when the EP3 first came out back in 2001 and loved it straight away for its great looks and performance. I always thought that I would have one as my first car, but that was before I understood insurance, (bearing in mind I was maybe 10 or 11 at the time!) I even tried getting my Dad to buy one when the facelift came out so that I could have it when I started to drive, but he bought a convertible instead. But 11 years later I have now fulfilled a childhood dream.
I bought it with only 30,500 miles on the clock, (and all the documents to back it up.) It has air conditioning, which was a must for me, despite the rubbish weather we have been having lately. It also came with an HID kit, red brake callipers (well painted by a previous owner I must add) and 4 almost new 215/40 Toyo T1R's. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the head unit it came with, but I am getting that done hopefully this week. Would've also liked front fogs, but never mind.
I absolutely love this car, and the Vtec kick is perhaps a little too addictive! In terms of modifications, I am going to keep it pretty standard, apart from the head unit. I'm also going to replace the mats as their condition lets down what is a tidy looking interior. Possibly a wheel refurb in gun metal grey or black sometime in the future.
Anyway, enough talk. Here are some pictures. Be great to know what you guys think. (Will upload some of the interior when I get the head unit and new mats.)
