Default My AP1 and EP3

Don't think I have ever posted any complete pics of my car here yet since I bought it in October. Here is the info on both cars. Comments welcome.

S2000: It's pretty plain at the moment. It had the rims and intake when I bought it. I cleaned it up, added on a couple of minor interior pieces, changed all the fluids, and am just enjoying it as-is for now. I don't plan to do much in the immediate future. If I can add a Q300 dual, 70mm HFC, and an OEM rear lip spoiler this summer, I will be more than happy. Love the car so far.

00 AP1
Silverstone
55,000 miles
AEM V2 intake
OEM AP2V2 Rims
Sumitomo HTR Z III tires (stock sizes)
Moddiction Anvil Mini shift knob
CR Radio Door Cover


Civic Si (EP3): I bought it new in 2003 and it has been my daily driver ever since. It has never been in an accident and I have pretty much babied it. It has never raced it or anything (not that it would even win any races to begin with) and I think I have only even hit the rev limiter twice that I can think of. I mean, it's slow; I know it, you know it, so why abuse it too much :-) I bet if I got a good launch, I could pull a fender and a half on my kids 12 Volt Gator shown in the background. The body is in decent shape, a few parking lot dings and rock chips though. I put on a couple of mods to improve some things just to make it a little different. While not a spectacular perfomer in any category, it has been rock solid reliable, and never give me any major trouble worth mentioning. I'm even still rollin with the stock clutch that grabs like a champ. I've kept the fluids fresh, followed the maintenance schedule, and done some brake work once or twice, that's it. Yes, it does have the typical "fart-can" muffler tip, but I got a sweet closeout deal on that exhaust so I just live with it, but it sounds good and isn't annoyingly loud. Plan on driving it 'til the wheels fall off. Here is the run down.

2003 Civic Si
Nighthawk Black Pearl
130,000 miles
AEM V2 intake
Greddy SP2 Cat-back
16 x 7 Motegi rims (bought them cheap and had them powercoated black)
205/50/16 Yokohama S-Drive Tires
Hawk pads
Tint
JDM badges (the front one is gone, cracked)
Removed the "civic" and "honda" emblems from the hatch
Kenwood Excelon head unit
Polk Db Speakers (6.5 components front, 6.5 coaxial rear)
Polk Momo 10" sub
Alpine mono amp
Matching child seats in the rear for picking up my kids from daycare :-) They match each other AND the stock EP3 interior (lame, I know)

Nice! I have an EP3 as well. It has a JDM CTR kit and some other bits. I always hated the stock EP bumpers. They're so bulky. Had it since 02 although it's in CA at my mom's house and only gets driven when I come home. EP is a great DD. Good gas mileage, takes regular, and can carry a bunch of stuff with the seats down.

Random question, but do you think that the front or rear JDM emblem from the EP3 would fit nicely on the S2k front/rear? I really like the JDM Ep3 emblems since they're flat/dome shaped and look really slick compared to the OEM colored emblems for the S2k.

It would have to be the rear EP3 one. The front EP3 emblem is huge by comparison and would better fit a Honda Odyssey than an S2K. Dont remember if the rear emblem on the EP3 is only held on with tape or not, or if it has the alignment pins at all, it has been too long since I put them on. If you want, I can measure them.

If you could measure that'd be awesome. Need some rice on my s2k lol.

Nice Hawkeye -
Talk to your dealer about switching out your faded tail lights. Some dealers do it free of charge due to the design defect on MY2000 cars.
