Kenneth.

hey Ken,

i saw ur EP3 at lidcombe yesterday - u drove past Dooleys around 630pm

Hey man!

Yeah, I usually go via there to go home from work! Did you see the black R34 GTR outside Dooleys?

Maybe the stivo driver was noob..? Mis-shift perhaps?

DSLR.. check!

LOL Cuong,

I think it's read like this:

150(204)/6,400 kW(PS)/RPM

I.e., 150kW aka 204PS at 6,400RPM

Blame poor formatting.. ahha

John, the stance looks perfect! And that stretch definitely sets it off! Good work! Tasteful as usual!

Looking forward to seeing it on the road! :P

Thanks guys!

Next mod has been ordered.. here's a hint, a majority of it will be constructed from the following exotic material..

Got the coilovers installed today thanks to Indy and his crew at IS Motor Racing. :)

Front is currently sitting at 2 finger spaces.. and the rear is at 1. Hopefully when the springs settle, the weight of the engine will bring the front down a little more. If not I'll drop it a little. The rear might need a tiny bit of raising after it settles.

Anyway, 'nuff said.

Had the coilovers installed.. :)

I recently purchased an EP3.. but you're right insurance and rego sky rockets due to 3 factors:

- It's an import

- It's a "Coupe" according to the RTA

- .. and Myself being under 25.. lol :(

Expensive car to keep, but I'm loving it.

Anyhow, either Corolla will be awesome. They're super reliable cars.. IMO it really comes down to what you priorities higher, performance or something newer.

77,000KM is pretty average for a car of 6 years as eviltwin stated earlier.

Thanks John! Haha yeah pre-birthday present.. :P

i knew kenneth would ocme on sooner or later :P

:P

Polished my exhaust tips.. good as new! :P

I purchased my OEM roof spoiler for $264 over a year ago now, and it came pre-painted.

It's also easy enough to fit yourself, all you need is time and simple tools.

Thanks for your replies--as I believe the remote keys are VERY expensive

Is your central locking button built in with the key or is it a seperate remote?

if its built in to the key its over $200.

Yaris keys have the central locking built in to the key.

I have not received my car as yet so am not sure about the key--it has an immobilizer

The immobiliser is also built into the Yaris key. It's just the one key with 2 buttons (unlock/lock).

You get 2 sets of remote keys and one standard key.

Bumppp!

With new photos..

Hah, thanks John! :P

So where does this go? or were you trickin :P

Heh, they were genuine DC5R side markers.. I was going to replace the little circular ones, but I think I might just leave them now..

I also can't re-use the Osram Diadems.. the EP3 uses a huge wedge bulb as indicators :(

Anyhow.. wasted no time and got straight into it!

Nice Kenneth, at least you didnt jump on the evo bandwagon! Ive only seen one or two here in Adelaide. Love it!

Thanks dutchie! :)

ep3 are little rockets they will destroy a sportivo so easyy, i seen one running at the track 13s and it wasnt even worked ...Kenneth how much did it cost roughly not askinge xact price im interested in onee

You can pick up a 01~03 for roughly 20~23K these days. 04~05 will be up in the 25's.

hahaha kenneth kenneth kennethhh....how did i not notice that ep3 on the site haha but anywho good choice bro love ep3 !

Haha, I dont know :P

haha congrats dude!

even though i knew months back this was going to be your choice. take me for a spin ;)

For sure dude!

Why import though? there are heaps here already..

Heh thanks John! A lot of the ones here are 01/02 models. Mine is an 03 (last of the pre-facelifts). But also the condition (inside and out) of this was much better than a lot of them which are for sale here. Uber clean Recaro's was one of the major deciding factors for me. :)

This car is stock as a rock, aside from some Mugen sports pedals, and some PIAA wipers, from the previous owner in Japan which is an added bonus for me!

You are joking... You shipped this thing from Japan.. of all things you could have shipped.. LOL

I'm speechless.....

LOL Young, you sound like you don't like EP3's.

It was this or the 8MR.. but this hurts me less when it comes to insurance. :P

On the up side, this thing is a rocket for a 2.0L N/A, and let's not forget the 8,600rpm red line.. HAHAHA

finally lol. nice ride! kaze would be pleased. are ep3 type r's all imports?

Thanks Chicken. Yeah, all EP3's are imports either from UK or Japan - though a majority will be from Japan.
