USDM vs CTR EP3's?
 

Im a total newbie when it comes to the EP3 chassis and Im not ashamed of it. I dont know ANYTHING of the foreign EP3's at all. What are the differences between our USDM EP3's and "others"? Visual, performance, aesthetics, etc.

Hopefully, this can be a central topic that people can fall back to.

Damm you n00b! LoL......

1) The engine, they come with a K20a2(typeS).
2) 5 Lug
3) Body kit (bumper, side skirts, rear bumper)
4) Headlights and tail lights
5) Some are right hand drive
6) Recaro seats


Add to the list if I forgot anything...

EDIT- Oh, and cool red badges

I thought the JDM CTR came with the K20A1 engine? From what I've been told, which could be absolutely wrong. The engines went like this.

K20A - Integra Type-R
K20A1 - Civic Type-R
K20A2 - RSX Type-S
K20A3 - Civic SI

K20A_? Euro CTR?
K20A_? Aus ITR?

Re: USDM vs CTR EP3's? (Junior_r)
 

they should be K20A2, coz both has 200hp

Re: USDM vs CTR EP3's? (DC2-8888)
 

K20A2 is both the CTR and Type-S. The USDM EP's are essentially USDM, as they are completely built in the UK. All the CTR has over us is the engine (obviously), bodykit, headlights (their tails just light up differently then ours, there is a DIY for JDM tails), and the badges. I believe that the red Recaros only come in the either 25th or 30th anniversary R, don't remember what anniversary it is. The stock seats for the UK R are just like ours but they say Type-R on them.

Austrailian ITR got the K20A2. I think japan was being shiesty about their pride and joy. Did europe get the K20A? and im pretty sure the K20A2 went into the CTR, CTR =200 hp, AUSDM ITR=200 HP, JDM ITR = 220

There is more to the Type R than just motor. Limited Slip Differential, larger brakes, 5 bolt lugs, stiffer springs, lower ride height, better shocks, and grippier tires. But, yeah, it's really just a body kit and some red badges. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Hey tool, I was listing items that weren't already listed. Everyone knows a Type-R "edition" comes with an LSD, bigger brakes, and a 5 lug. Obviously the tires are different as well. In your poor attempt to flame me, you forgot to add a different shift boot, red carpet, red door inserts, different center console, cigarette lighter..um anything else you forgot? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif on you.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and a different shift knob https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

and dont forget the amber smoked glass on the rear hatch and side windows on new CTR's(anniversary edition)

Re: (paikman)
 

Do some of the CTRs come with an HID headlight?

Re: (Migs)
