[Nepolian]

After waiting for about 5 weeks, my black EP3 is complied. I will have to wait till end of the week to get it rego'd tho.

I have also ordered some parts too..... more waiting

Cheers

[VTi_b0i]

[Nepolian]

Give me a chance, just got it today :D

I'll have some tomorrow, its dark outside.....

Heres some purchase photos....yes that is a picture of my actual car.

[Encor3]

thats awesome , welcome to the forums =)

[vti_ek9]

nice...hows she go?
is she on par with dc5r? in terms with straight line speed...

[EKVTIR-T]

You lucky s.o.b.Really nice.
Give us a review please

[Nepolian]

Its not registered yet, I have not driven a DC5 so I cant compare it. But I took it for a good spin and it felt really light to drive. I was really suprised with it, power is good too for a stock car. Its my first real N/A car. Trust me I have test driven many before coming to an EP3.

Past cars have been all hi powered Turbo RWDs. So this is quite different.

I hope there are a few more out there soon with EP3's.

I know NightRyder is getting his too.

[Nikki]

oh wow.. very nice!!!!

Nah, too much time to organise it. Worth while if you want to wait. No dealer in Syd. They want too much asking price and condition...ok....and also deposit upfront before you see it at one place. Im sure some of you know where.

I paid just under 30k.....and its in better nik than some in Syd. Thats not with rego ofcourse.

Hi all, to avoid hi-jacking Nepolian's thread (and my apologies for that) I've decided to move my pics to my new thread in "Appearance/Gallery".

thanks

Nice. God I love the CW and red Recaro combination. How does the shifter feel coming off the console?

[dudeling7]

damn these are nice cars, love cw!

[maracer]

Congratulations too both you guys:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Monty_ITR: The shifter is great, so close to the steering wheel and is a short shift, very different to the standard position but I'm beginning to love it. :)

[JINRAI]

love em both, well done guys!

[DreadAngel]

Damn, nice one fellas :D Keep us posted on what you think and do with them :D

[Nepolian]

Thanks for your comments guys.

Anyway, sorry if this is a bit long winded, but it may help one of you. I will write it in dot point.

- Picked up my car on Fri morning from the mechanic with the blueslip done.

- I went to rego my car at the RTA, the lady said I needed a weighbridge Cert.

- I went back to the mechanics and he said that the weight is on the slip, no need to get one.

- Went back to the RTA, spend 15mins arguing with surfie counter man that I dont need to have the 'Original' import approval. He insisted that I did until the supervisor said it wasnt nesessary.

- Same guy couldnt type if his life depended on it and wastes another 5 mins of my life trying to put the VIN number in the 'Car make' field. He had that stupid look on his face for ages and it not until another person came by and pointed it out to him.

- Processes the Rego and then he tells me that I have been randomly picked for a identity check.

- Heres the catch, this 'Random' check cannot be done till the 20th of Aug at the earliest??? Unless I go to Newcastle......WTF???

- When questioned, the guy said 'It cant be helped as it is randomly put on the system'.

- I wasted over 3 hours of my life do this. I dont mind doing what needs to be done, but when the RTA personnel cannot do their jobs it eeks me. Its like when you get a tradie and he does a worse job than you.

- Thanks for reading guys.

[m0nty ITR]

The RTA are a bunch of muppets. I deal with them every day through work and we get different responses for the same issue nearly every day. They don't know their arse from their elbow. Glad it finally got sorted though.

[Tofu]

nice purchase Nepolian!!

i too was in negotiations with the seller/importer of this EP3R very nice guy indeed!
He's not far from where I live, and he did also say there's a white one coming in, if not already on its way to Brisbane. This EP3R is in very nice condition, and so is the white one coming with genuine mugen exhaust! :D

Thanks Tofu, the only probs with this one was small chips here and there as you would expect for a 5yo car, otherwise it is in mint cond as other features go. Considering the ones which are around for sale, I looked at one in Sydney and the front quarter panel wasnt lined up for heaps more money too.

I went up to look at the car and saw the others there. But I really wanted a black one so I bought it.....:D

BTW, NightRyder.......congrats on gettin your car too, more the merrier I say. Catch up when I eventually get mine on the road. At least it gives me time to do mods.

Cheers

[Vann]

I pick mine up next weekend :D

[bennjamin]

people who work @ the RTA are only good at giving out our private details to theives.


BTW tell us a price son !

[NightRyder]

Yeah we should meet up when your car is ready and go for a little drive.:cool:

Yeay.......I registered my car today!!!

BTW.....NightRyder, hows the car driving and what mods are you doin??

[NightRyder]

Woohoo!!..finally got your car rego'd!

Man I have to say the car drives very well...it sometimes feel it wants to be VTEC'd so much more..haha...
Haven't planned any mods as yet but probably looking at a mugen exhaust or air box.

Throw me PM or something and we can meet up some time..
