My 2003 Honda Civic Si (YEEEEEEP3) - Sterling, VA

[cristian@canibeat]

Hey guys. I'm Cristian, founder of canibeat.com. I've had my civic for a few years now. Here's a basic time line of the car and some current photos of how it sits today. Enjoy.

May 2007
How that car started. My very first car was a hand me down from my parents while I was in school... and it was just not what I wanted. I ALWAYS wanted an ep3 and when one came up right as I was about to graduate I gave my parents back the car they bought me and purchased this bad boy as my first car. Here are some photos from the first few days of owning.

2008
In 2007 I ended up going to Nashville, TN for Import Alliance 2007 in my brothers coupe. It totally exposed me to imports and I was hooked! After Import Alliance 2007 I wasted NO time and got my first set of wheels, the Type R kit and coilovers. My first set of wheels were a set of Silver 16x7 +35 Sprint Hart CPRs. Here are some shots by Mr. Kyle Crawford at Import Alliance 2007.

2009

Ohh man. 2009 had to be my favorite year for the ep3. I was a newly college graduate with an awesome job... so I made some pretty nice and big purchases. Some of those being a set of 17x8 17x9 +14 SSR Reverse Mesh with original caps, full Type R Interior, an Airwalker Japan front end and various other goodies. Import Alliance 2009 was where I premiered the new look. That summer my car got its photo(s) on Speed Hunters, Honda Tuning (Oh Snaps photo by Dave Tormey), Stanceworks, HellaFlush, Super Street, Import Tuner & much more. Man I miss those wheels.

2010

My car had always lacked engine modifications. 2010 was the year of the swap for the yeeep3. It was also the year of the tracers. The swap was a K20z1 and the tracers were a brand new (thank you Tuner Shop!) set in 17x8.5 +20 17x9 +14. The swap had has a CM1 harness and some mugen goodies. Also notice the triple chrome dipped RBC intake mani by dipped-parts.com

SSRs were my favorite wheels on your car. Tracers are dope wheels but I just feel the SSRs flowed more

one of the few ep3's I actually really like. I loved it with the ssr's but the tracers look so sick too. Can't wait to see what you have for next year

My favorite quote from h2o:

"Psh a Honda? good luck selling shirts with that in your booth!"

We sold a shit ton of shirts. It was definitely because of the honda <333
