Hi Guys,

Nice EP3 Mate, Welcome to ClubITR!

Thank you Mr Shakeel.

and so the journey begins!

The car only came with Tein super street springs and a Sony headunit. Everything else was pretty much stock.







It was cold that day, so the beanie was appropriate lol.

Nice Sportivo M8! Welcome to CITR!

Thanks Paul, errbody loves the Sportivo lol

So back when I was still organising monthly EP3 cruises on OzHonda, a fellow owner approached me complimenting how nice and clean my car looked. I was confused and simply told him that it was stock and nothing was done to it. He had recently purchased his car a few days ago and liked the look of the stock car. I ended up offering to swap my OEM wing for his Mugen wing with a cash adjustment on top. After a few days of messaging back and forth, he agreed to swap the wing as long as I cover the labour costs. I was lucky enough to obtain a genuine Mugen wing for only $100. Best decision ever!





MUGEN!


ClubITR Represent!

[plAythiNG]

Nice man. SHOW ME UR WHEELS BRO!

Love your air walker lip bro. I reckon the best and cleanest EP3 in aus. Yes some are more modded, more money spent compared to yours. But you spent money where it counts! Can you get that gay side indicator changed to a clear one?

jelly that u scored Mugen wing for $100 LOL

[Perry]

Nice Jazz broooo hehehee got me thinking to do one too.

[felixR]

So so lucky with the wing.

Keen to see more wheels.

[eskimo_firefighter]

About time we got a thread for your EP3! Will be following it closely. Awesome work so far.

$100 for genuine Mugen wing, can't even score a replica one for that price. Haha.

[Shakeel]

Are those pics at Lansvale?

[wongy]

Welcome to CITR haha, such clean,many wows

[stienerv2]

Thank you for all kind words guys.

and yes it is Shak. It was at Lansvale off the Hume Hwy. Pretty creepy place at night.

After entering The-Lowdown, first showcased in 2012, the Air walker Japan lip was ordered and plans were put into motion. But as most things go for modifying cars, unexpected delays occurred and the debut was stalled. The lip had several issues when we were trying to organise shipping into Australia especially due to its size and the fragileness of fibreglass. Eventually it was shipped via EMS and installed for its first reveal at the WTAC show n shine. As far as I'm aware, this was the first Air walker Japan lip for the EP3 in Sydney and the second one in the country. It certainly gives the pre-facelift EP3 a more aggressive face, which steers away from that cute car look.

After working full time for a couple months, I started splurging on the car. For appearance wise, a Subaru V-Lip was added onto the front end and set of RPF1s were ordered from the states. IMO, the F1 silver on RPF1s are one of the best silvers out there with it's think glossy coat. It is also one of my favourite colour combos I've done on the car giving it a very clean look.

Wheel and tyre set up:
Enkei F1 Silver RPF1
F: 17x9 +35
R: 17x9 +22
with 215/45/17 all round

PS: I know I should have put the more aggressive pair at the fronts and it was a mistake. I was testing the waters and fitment of the EP lol.

[stienerv2]

Can you get that gay side indicator changed to a clear one?

Cant sorry bro, they are Ferrari ones. lol
