Hey guys,

New car, new page. The moment I'll start working on the EE9 again I'll start updating that page


In january 2014 I bought a 2002 Satin Silver pre-facelift EP3. Car made a stunning 252HP, mainly thanks to the RBC, K-Pro and the complete exhaust that was under the car. The car used to belong to someone I know so I knew it was well taken care of. It was in an immaculate condition technically, inside and outside. After having loads of fun with it last summer I put it away in my garage to upgrade the handling even more during the winter.







But then, a rare opportunity occurred. A 2004 Cosmic Grey Pearl with very little km's on it (just 95.000!) in stunning condition. Facelift, with A/C and OEM Xenon (very rare options here in Holland, especially together!) and completely stock apart from a Comptech Icebox and a HKS Hi-Power muffler. So I bought that car, and now " all" I have to do is get all the "fun-parts" from my first EP3 onto the other.

But, this is what you all want: the pictures
















Pics I took as it still belonged to the previous owner.

Car looks nice man! Question tho... how does the gruppe m intake scoop work with the wipers being set up for left hand drive?
 
Thanks mate. Pics above are when I bought the car from the previous owner.

We adapted the scuttle, and removed a small edge from the scuttle. It works out perfectly for the rest. I have some pics on my Facebook, I'll see if I can upload them here. :)
 
Was just curious man. I had a tegiwa gruppe m replica on my ep3 and just wasn't sure how the scoop would work with the wipers coming from the other side.
