sorry for the stupid question,, but can someone tell me what ep3 is? i know that its the civic si hatch but i was just wondering where the ep3 came from. thank you

 

ep3 is a honda from the uk actually.



The EDM EP3 was widely acclaimed by motoring journalists across the UK, winning 'Hot Hatch of the Year' awards more than once from Top Gear and What Car?. The Civic Type R became a popular alternative for mainstream drivers, with the EDM clocking huge sales numbers. The JDM remained a strictly 'export-model' only despite being manufactured in the UK, and is relatively rare outside of Japan. The 2001 release of this CTR, as it is commonly referred to, also indicated Honda's return to Formula One in almost 10 years as an engine supplier to the Jordan and BAR teams - this eventually led to the full-fledged comeback as a dedicated F1 works team in 2005 with Honda gaining full ownership of BAR. 2004 also saw this hugely successful CTR updated with many improvements - quicker steering, revised suspension settings, HID headlamps (JDM only), lighter flywheel assembly etc; according to Honda literature, this facelifted (FL) model was targeted at addressing customers' and crtics' feedback such as that of understeer (due to the front Macpherson strut setup), numb steering response and lack of low end torque.
