Hi guys, just thought I'd add a pic of mine in. Are there any other EP3 owners in SA? I've been using this as my daily - the thing runs on the smell of an oily rag!

Fairly stock from what I can gather - Tanabe exhaust, CF bonnet, Bride driver's seat, 17" Volk TE37s. I got to keep my Xenons too :)

Good luck with the sale Kristian. It's a very nice price considering all the nice bits on the car. If only you hadn't hooked me up with my EP3... :)

I've got 1 and its not that loud at all. Doesnt attract people or cops which is good. It does however have a nice deep exhaust note. My engine makes more noise then my exhaust. I can only hear the exhaust with my windows down lol

Where do you get all your Mugen parts? I was reading that our dollar might go down as low as 50 cents by the end of the year.

The Australian dollar will not go to 50c our economy is stronger than the US and interest rate will not drop that much more the lowest it will go is about 68c....
Interest rate affects the dollar in a big way the lower we go the worst our dollar will get ... out interest rate are better than the US so our dollar in affect should be stronger... It should stay were it is at the moment 80% chance..
so buy know or buy later it wont make a difference ..

If you want to buy part from over seas for cheap I use importmonster.. Or buy stuff on US Honda forum's.. I buy small stuff / small part I get them to send it in an international flat rate box... 37.50... so to keep shipping cost low. You can fit most engine components in the boxes .. Eg if you want to buy coil over's send 2 in each box... hope that buy buy buy

interest rate is only 1 factor that effect exchange rate, others like comodity price and the performance of share market have bigger impact than interest rate alone. also our interest rate is likely to drop further due to recession and deflation of our economy which means the gap is going to get smaller.

also Japan cannot sustain such high ex-rate for too long as their economy relies heavily on export. i guess many people (including me) are waiting for the yen to drop value.

I think it was you, cos I'm pretty sure it was a female driver. Unless mugen_b16b is a chick as well. I live near honeysuckle & always notice an ep3 around that area. We should do our own lil brissy meet.
