I also was a big fan of the EP3 Awesome site though, if I was closer to Canada I'd be tempted to bring my future ride up there to test it out :evilgrin:

Most of these guys live in Vancouver, BC and the surrounding townships. I live near Seattle, which is where this track event was conducted. They come down to our neighborhood a couple of times a year. They MIGHT visit again later this year, but it's doubtful.

 

I love this one except for those silly little flare things on the windows and roof

Did you check the organizer's picture archive? These guys really have a thing about GT-style wings...especially the S2000s.

 

nice pics...
I always liked the EP3's

 

Cool pics! I wish the U.S. had imported Echo hatchbacks.

the rain guards?

some of those cars are pretty nice. and that black Si is a nice lookin car.

the fit is also pretty sweet

 

I've talked to the guy with the Fit. Nice car.

 

Matrix what?

 

Matrix what?

I think that's a Fit.

 

That ECHO and FIT look pretty cool, don't mind the graphics much (its not me, but I think it would be a nice addition if i were to drive it.

I love the 2002+ hatch of the civic. I think it just looks beautiful. They just didnt' support it with a good engine.

Hah. And we're the ones to talk about engines. Look at what you had to do to make yourself happy with that SVT engine. HEHEHE.

 

Even with the engine choice, I still would consider an EP3, but I'm wanting to get away from the used car potential problems :lol:

haha.. well the SVT engine was better than the Si engine out of the box. And with the Si history it should have been a bit stronger.

Plus the mega tiny tires. The moral of the story is that Honda really didnt' go hard core with that Si like they should have. They made SVT look really good. Doesn't mean either would have been enough for me. And personally I'm not modding my car because I need more power. I'm just doing it because I want to. I'm stupid like that

I'm looking forward to the next hatch Si.

Yeah, yeah. This is the story you probably told your wife when you got the WRX AND started modding your SVTF, while loading the kart into the new truck.

"...because I want to." Works for me.

Heh.

 

:lol: hey whatever works

 

Should a car with some high-quality graphics like that Fit have it's track numbers held on with masking tape?

haha.. he's gonna be pissed when he pulls off the masking tape and it takes paint with it.

 

Amazingly, I actually like all the decal work on this Fit

Yes, your lack of taste is in fact amazing. :what:

I like the ****** with goldish rims though.

Yeah. Well, I'm not much for showy stuff myself. If my Centerline Storms weren't lightweight forged track rims, I'd have a difficult time mounting them to the car -- they're just too shiny in that polished aluminum look. I don't care for decals much in general either, but those things on the Fit seem to capture the spirit of the car's character. Kinda lighthearted and difficult to take serously. Like Honda sez: might as well "Go" with it.

 

Those window flare things? You see them all over the Northwest with the amount of rain we get. Numbers are taped on as they are issued that day of lapping.

 

I think that's a Fit.

yes, I know its a fit. But the fact remains, it looks like a matrix.

 

The graphics on the Fit are the same one's they put on all their cars. They are an aftermarket company.

The Pig character is their mascot. Here's a small pic of their S2000 with the Pig.

 

Wow that black Echo looks pretty dang cool. Then again, Black makes any color look cool.
