Default The Official Honda-Tech EP3 Squad

Hey guys,

As most of you have noticed the old EP3 Squad kinda went dead. Nobody was posting in it as much and most importantly it wasns't being maintained! The reasons for this happening are unknown but I conclude it’s because of when IB took over... but it really doesn't matter!

Now I took it upon myself to start it all over. I made sure with George first to see if it would be ok and I have been given the green light! So big thank you goes out to George Knighton.

Now to the Squad...
Since I am "taking over", I want to implement some rules. I use to be part of EH Squad and I liked how their Squad is managed and turned out on the 3rd attempt. I plan on using some of their rules and modify some to make them a little more fair.

Recruitment to the squad will be based on 2 things only:
1. You succesfully complete rule #1
2. You are active in the thread! (So don't join for the sake of being a squad)

So on with the rules:
1.You must introduce yourself with your name (real name), pics of whip and a little about yourself IE: Occupation.
2. There will be no flaming towards each other unless it's jokingly.
3. There is no discrimination allowed in this Squad what so ever.
4. Everyone will be treated as an equal and nothing less.
5. Just because you have a nice car doesn't mean you're accepted.
6. Just because you have a crappy car doesn't mean you can't join.
7. Let your voices be heard if you have something to say.
8. Keep in mind your number is just a number.
9. Represent your squad to the fullest is indeed a must.


Now just one little side note, if you see after a day or two you have not been "accepted in the squad" please don't start posting about it! I will take 48 hours to judge based on the rules above if you are the right fit for the squad... Its really a no brainer!!!!!
Also if I notice you are not active after a certain amount of time (2-3 months) I will then just take you off the Squad's list... The hole point of this is to keep in touch with what is going on the EP3 world!

Good work, Dave! (Thanks for the PSN add by the way )

Sup guys, my name is Scott and I'm an accountant for Cintas. I've owned my '05 NHBP ep3 since June 06 and it's an excellent daily driver. I had big plans to boost it, but had to sell my turbo kit to afford buying my first house. Getting "old" sucks, and I'm only 24.



I have different rims on there now (SSR forged 17x7.5), sold the Buddy Clubs. I'll take some updated pics as soon as I detail my car again.

Suspension: Eibach ProKit, Progress rear sway/tie bar, Corsport endlinks, Mr. Alex front upper strut bar

Engine: Injen SRI w/ heatshield, T1R 2.5" midpipe, Innovative 70a motor mounts, CorSport shifter bushings, Mobil1 5w-30 w/ HAMP oil filter, Spoon magnetic drain plugs

Exterior: JDM tail lights, HFP Spoiler & foglights w/ PIAA yellow bulbs, McCulloch 6k HID kit, JDM Honda Access window visors, JDM sidemarkers, 35% tint

Interior: JDM shift boot and knob, Buddy Club short shifter, Clarion HU w/ Infinity Reference speakers all around, OEM cargo net

Happy Belated BDAY Josh... my bday is on the 7th of July... I am praying that I can get my suspension done! I know I will get little misc. parts for her but nothing crazy!

I do have my Rota Subzeros on but they are going to get painted all gold in 2 weeks... which should make the car look alot better!

Hey guys my name is Justin. I'm here in Eugene Oregon & a former EKsquad member. I've only had my EP for a little over a month and bought it bone stock with an aftermarket midnight blue paintjob. I have some pretty big plans for it.

Orlando please do your suspension before the A2 or the KPRO! You will see more gains with the suspension done, brakes done and the good tires then an A2 or KPRO...

I still didn't do mine but I telling because I have actual experience when it comes to all this!

I use to have a track prepped EG with a mildly built B18C Type-R and trust me when I say this I put more money on my suspension before anything else! Although in the end more money went into the engine but just to say I spent a pretty peny on suspension parts... So when I say that you will feel faster with your suspension, good brakes and good tires its because I am speaking from experience!

Power is fun but it gets boring... hitting 150 mph is fun and all but taking a curve at 90 mph and feeling every part of your car working together to keep you planted on the pavement is much more thrilling trust me! You'll see for yourself...
