A new EP3 for Me???
Wish me luck guys... I work at Honda (Alliston) and we have the opportunity to purchase demonstrator cars at a great price, the only catch is you put your name in on a draw, if I win I will be driving a white 2003 SiR hatch, not necessarily my choice in cars but at WAY less than $20k (with only 7k on the odometer) I'll definetely take it!!!
The last demo I won served me well (my 1998 Acura EL) I drove it for 14 months and put 42k on it and sold it for about $100 less than I paid.

good luck with the draw.. white was actually my first choice.. they didn't have any, so I "settled" with black...
lemme know if you're serious about the JDM Type-R Wheels.. I can get em.. but they're hella expensive..

way cheaper than dealer cost, it's technically used (a demo) has 7000 km on it, this kinda stuff comes up all the time, there's one list per week, with about 5-15 cars per list, but you gotta win the draw... had my name on 4 different 2003 TL Type S's just before Christmas, they all ranged from $23-25k.... There was a S2K awhile ago too, $35k with the optional hardtop included.
I gotta keep the car for a year though and it has to be registered in my name. We're not allowed to make a profit if we do sell either, I only lost $100 over a year.

is that a crack on the "lowness" of my car Jason?!? LOL I plan to remedy that this season. I think the EG will still be faster than a SiR. Just need to find some used Tein's, keep your ears open for me...

but if you do decide to keep the car for a long term, and wanna seriously do a CTR conversion then I can help you out with any parts

yeah, since I work at Honda I can get anything at cost... but only North American parts, do you know if the optional side skirts and rear wing are the same as CTR? I'm pretty sure the front skirt is not the same as it seems the CTR is an entire bumper. I guess either '04 SiR or RSX parts would work for the 5 lug conversion...

optional side skirts and rear wing that are on the North American ep3 you mean? like with the GFX package?.. they're different from the JDM ones.. the CTR has a different bumper, as you won't be able to fit the JDM Type-R Lip onto a USDM bumper.. there ARE replica's out there that will fit, but they're not a perfect fit, and they don't like as nice (there are subtle differences, but to ME they're noticable)..

ok so I didn't win that one... but there are 7 more this week. This time they're all 2002's, with around 4000km, 3 black ones and 4 silver. I'm not allowed to say the price but they're all more than 10k less than retail... I'll be putting my name on 3 of the silver ones (we can only put in for a max of 3 per week)
