Yes!! :cool: .. A few more kms than what I hoped it would have. But still only 34000kms :D..

Already shopping around for some mods.. So if anyone can point me in the direction of a good supplier of EP3 parts it would be appreciated. Already checking out JDMYards stock.
06-08-2009, 03:07 PM

What sort of mods are u looking for?

not sure about your taste but i'd drive the car in the current state first before looking for mods.
06-08-2009, 03:12 PM
c1v1c

Yes agreed. I will be driving it around as is for atleast a month or 2 (till I get off my P's).. After that it is CAI, ECU, and a few other light mods..
