I agree with your mixed feelings on the EP3. I've seen some nasty ones and other ones just look hella ugly. It's too big I feel like ya know? I dunno it's hard to explain,

the size doesnt bother me, its the shape and the dash setup. though there is a blue one on tracer tech 2s that im in love with!

nope. i wish i did. car doesnt fit on an alignment rack so i have to check it myself. i know its a lot though. one day i need to go in the garage and hook up the sensors to it, just to lazy

Everytime I see your car I attempt to go just a bit lower. but I read this a lot..
=) i recommend saving time and just go to the bottom

Its a giant jelly bean!:roll:
i love that jelly bean, id drive that all day, they are my all time favorite wheels. smallest they make is a 17 though

It's an facelift ep2 1.6 vtec sport not a ep3=)
im sorry, just referred to that generation

Haha I feel the same way. I try to find information, but every source lists different parts and some say that one part is essential while others say it is not necessary at all. I am about to make a legit how-to with pics.

yeah, especially with swapping sensor plugs and crap. some say only the IACV, some say you need to swap CKF and another sensor yet. no one mentions radiator hoses so im hoping the current ones will work. really thats all i cant figure out, the sensor plug swaps. and i read that there is two different 2 post driver mounts but im going to ignore that lol

and im using a motor that came from an automatic, so i need to figure out if i have to change even more

Check out this thread. I'm not sure if your motor is OBD1 or not, but this really helped me.

As far as the driver's side mount, I'm still not sure either haha. I read the rad hoses from an EM1 will work with the stock rad, but the ends that connect to the rad are too big and have to be clamped tight.

i already read that actually but yeah im going all obd2a. i dont like the idea of running anything obd1, it can be a pain in the ass with emissions in PA. everything thats obd1 would have to be converted
