Very nice! Why did you get a JDM CTR when you could have just gotten a UKDM CTR?

The JDM CTR came brand new here in Malta together with another 2 of them......its a complicated story how they got here but.....

JDM CTR has some better features than UKCTR ....LSD, HID's, Recaros, low ratio 4th, 5th and 6th gears etc.....

I like my MPV

Do you even have a place where you can open her up on those Maltese Islands? Just joking--I bet the scenery is nice.

Nice car.

Hi all,


Thanks for the replies.........


so.....unfortunately here in Malta we don't have tracks .....but what i can say that the engine feels more powerful than my previous teg (which had I/H/E, Chipped ECU. lightened flywheel and low ratio 4th and 5th gears)....gearbox is a delight to use .....

The civic is also very comfortable for everyday use.....in fact its true the side seat bolsters are not so high (like the integra), but they still offer good support and are comfortable.....

Also i bought this car instead of a DC5 because even though i love the dc5, i am more attracted to the EP3's looks.....also this car is virtually brand new........


rgds,

Doesn't come close in what way? The JDM EP3R makes 212hp and 148lb-ft of torque. It basically is the exact same engine as the DC5R, the major difference is the exmani between the 2. The EP3R is a tad heavier than the DC5R by about 50-88lbs depending on options. Believe it or not the EP3R actually has a shorter braking distance than the DC5R with its Brembos. The Civics brakes are balanced better front to rear, where as the DC5R is heavily front biased.

Nice pick up and when I bought my car, it was a toss-up between the DC5 and EP3, eventually the DC5 won out because it ended up only being about $800 more when the EP3 was equipped equally, the lighter weight and I like the looks of it just a tiny bit better, though I really love the EP3s looks. Especially when they are dumped a tad.

Hi,

Thanks once again for the replies guys..........


In fact like DC5RK20A is saying the engine is very torquey....... that's one of the main plus points in my opinion ......
