Hey everyone, you may remember me from such cars as...
[K20A] my beloved EP3 that I parted with a few months ago. This was one of the largest mistakes I had ever made in my 22 years on earth. I had decided that I wanted a turbo car, placed the EP on the market and surely enough she was purchased by her new owner in no time. In July this year I purchased a WRX STi in the trade mark WR Blue and the car was immaculate to say the least, it was a stock standard example with an MRT mild tune, mature owner in his 40's, full Subaru service history, 80,000 Kms and a nice big snail! What more could u want right? Well that was just the beginning. Unfortunately the car turned out to be my worst nightmare, as quickly as the repair bills started piling in along with the amazingly disgusting fuel bills she was quickly back on car sales and off to a Subaru enthusiast that enjoyed the problems and poor build quality those cars come with.
I had sold the Rex =\ what was I to buy? Honda had been so good to me through the years, and with the EP being my 4th Honda I didn't think twice about returning! What was there to buy!?!? I wanted another EP but no way was there the slightest chance I would find one in nearly as good condition. DC5? Too predictable, FN2? Too expensive for what it is, AP1 need to lose weight LOL, CL9??? Hmmmmmm
So here she is, I picked her up last week
now freshly Clayed, Polished and Waxed thanks to the help of Phil (Flippit)
