Tricky's EP3R

[tricky]

Hi guys I've already introduced myself in the forum yesturday but I would like to show what I've done to my car from stock to what it is now and what it would be in the future. But for those who don't know my names Duc

So far I've only done things to rice it up a little, but I'm going to slap in a injen CAI soon
once I have more funds I will most probably get headers, exhaust, ect ect.

This was when it was first purchased completely stock


This is what it is now, i need some suspension work to dump it a little :P
added mugen lip & advan RGI's


yesturday was a hot day in melb so I thought I'd do a little diy paint job on my centre console and change it to matte black
also bought myself a skunk 2 gear knob :P


yes i know i need to invest into a new headunit

[Shakeel]

Nice Duc!

[cuppa]

Damnnn, nice

[Setanta]

Nice - and I like the simplicity of the matt console

[tricky]

So I haven't updated about what's been going on with my ep3r since I've first uploaded but here's what I've done to it

So first of all this is what my car looked like january 11th 2013



and then the worst thing possible happened to my Advan RGI's
I went to get my tyres changed and when It got back to me this is what has happened to it.



I've been trying to find second hand RGI's online but they are so darn hard to find in pairs

So basically what I did was I saw cheap Volk Racing GTU's 17x7's +42 offset and just decided to run on those until I find myself a new pair of rgs





So after that I've been able to have a little extra spending money so I bought myself a INJEN CAI my first performance mod :P



Well not a little extra.. A Lot extra because I was about to also afford genuine 04+ facelift headlights (non-hid) but I've done the conversion to hid and this is what the badboy looks like now



After a long think and alot of consideration, I've decided to do my cosmetic mods before my performance mods because I wanted to turn it into a beauty, then a beast :P

So I did it, I purchased a mugen wing and a mugen grill as well and oh boy my missus wasn't happy about that at all hehehe
this is how it looked like when I first got the wing on and then attempting the grill afterwards



So after all the ricing was done to my car, this is what the final result is

but a first I'll give you guys a glance of when I first purchased my car :P

Before:


After:


notice the little scratch on my rear bumper? I got rear ended a little Also I decided to paint the blade black like eskimofighter :P



and that's what my car looks like today

So what I've basically done to my car is just added

-Injen CAI
-OEM 04+ facelift headlights + 8000k HID KIT (didn't want to risk it and get 10k ><)
-Mugen Grill
-Mugen Wing

Next on my agenda for my car is;

-coilovers (I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me choose a good brand :P)
-cai manifold
-headers
-exhaust
-engine mounts
-sway bars
-Hondata KPRO

but of course the best mod of all, A clubITR Sticker! :P which I will be ordering soon
I prob wont get all these things done this year but once I do I will slowly update you guys

Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoyed my update!
