Hey there. Welcome to the forum. How does the new car compare to your old one? Certain things you like better or miss that they changed? I know thats a long time between cars.
The only thing I miss about my ep3 is the dashboard shifter !! Haha I was just so used to it . other than that the ep3 was pretty nice it was just falling apart one thing after another . it has 148k on it now . recent repairs were tires brakes ball joints control arm bushings radiator spark plugs battery and 3 wheel bearings and the radios shot too haha .
I plan on keeping it clean and stockish for now until the warrenty runs out . I commute 100+ miles a day or so to and from work . so maybe no coilovers tires are too $$ with the 18's .
Just keep it clean with accessories stickers and other fun stuff for now . maybe some bolt ons ( exhaust, intake ) and make the engine bay pretty
My ep3 was all bolt ons mainly no tunes . intake, cat back exhaust , headers , coilovers , short shifter , 16 inch slips , JDM badges and other stuff like hids and LEDs sub and touch screen radio w/ navi . fun little car
I knew a guy that lived near me who had one. Looked pretty good. He had a custom "ep3" license plate. It was real funny when he upgraded to a WRX and still had that plate for a few month.
