I've been looking at some ep3 civic's lately, and i'm strongly considering trading in my em2...i just wanted to know how you guys like your cars? What things do you dislike? I know they're underpowered...getting the short end of the stick with the k20a3. But trust me, they're faster than my current d17.

I was also wondering if there were any common problems with them...anything i should be on the look out for when checking out the ones in my area. any advice would be appreciated.

Also, as far as performance goes, I was thinking just doing the basics, i/h/e with an a2 head. just looking for a DD with a little pep...what do you think? thanks for reading.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love every minute of driving my ep. I love the seats, the shifter, the whole interior actually. It flows so well. I like how stiff mine is set up and how well it handles. I dislike the steering rack creak I have but it's not hurting anything.

Everyone expects SO much out of EP3s because they have the holier than thou k20. Then they drive/race one and see it isn't much faster than a 99/00 Si so they call it underpowered. Just because the newest Si/RSX-S is pushing out 200 hp doesn't mean the EP3 is underpowered; it's still quick and you don't have to rev too high to get moving in stop and go traffic.

I love how rare they are and how people don't know what car it is and they act like they like it until they hear it's a Honda. One time I came out of a movie store and seen a big domestic truck guy go to the back of my car to see what it is. I caught him and he immediately walked to the front of my car and got in his truck. My girlfriend and I shared a great laugh.

I don't like them stock though. This is the only time I will agree that they look like a minivan. I'm not too much of a fan of the headlight shape but oh well. I don't like the cost of parts and how tuning is so expensive.

Overall I'm extremely satisfied. Sorry for ending with negatives.

 

I don't own an EP3 but if you plan on modifying it, be ready to spend a pretty penny.

 

im selling my ep3. its been a fun ride but i have to move on to a truck. im a pretty big guy thats why tired of hitting my head
