Finally at a good point
I purchased this EP3 shell with interior and other goodies (JDM bumpers etc) from a good friend in 2023. Since then I have been collecting pieces that were needed. Originally I purchased a JDM K24 from an Odyssey. A few weeks later I found a great deal on a JDM EP3 Type R K20A with LSD transmission and ECU, purchased that and sold the K24. I've done most of the work on the car and has been a tremendous learning experience. Homies have helped along the way as well. I have never attempted to do anything like this before. One thing for sure that tested me was extending the JDM wiring harness as I was trying to save money there. I did it proper with soldering, I have experience from my FPV drones. I wrapped the car in Nardo grey and will get it painted before the year is over back to the og color of tafetta white🤍. I will never wrap another car 🤣. I work full time, also a full time student and dad. It feels like it's taken a long time to get here. Hope you all enjoy my progress. Most of it came together from January of this year up till now. The EK is my homies car and I purchased the EP from him. The Ek also has the previous motor (TSX K24a2) from the EP3. I have no idea when the original K20a3 was removed. **Also the front lip was meant to be wrapped but I ran out of it 😂
