Is that your car behind the Fit? Sorry I didn't get a snap of it, I was mesmerized by the Fit, that's one of my favorite OEM Honda colors

Gee, we had a ep3 meet a couple weeks ago and there were no complaints of slow- ness

heres a pic...



I love how the old school honda people hate on the ep. When C&D tested the 99 civic si with its mighty b16, it did 0-60 in 7.6 second, the 2002 ep3 did it in 7.7 seconds with the same people driving it......wow, that soooo much slower. Of course these are the same fools that seem to forget the 88 crx si that every one loves did 0-60 in like a week and a half and came stock with 155mm tires for a mind numing .76 gees around the skid pad.

Bottom line, in the US with the exception of the usdm type-r teg and the s2000, stock honda's suck....hard. Pick your mods carfully and the ep3 can run with the big boys

Couldn't have made a better argument myself. I've beaten plenty of cars that thought they were going to spank me, and I'm sure there are many EP drivers that can say the same thing. EP3 FTW!!

The EM1 civics are ok but b16's are over rated a bit. Don't get me wrong, I like EP3's a lot and they come pretty quick and have good potential.

I don't see too many old school people hating on EP's though.

Hey, I beat on em1's all the time with my ep.... stock that is haha. I dont mind being slow, and I doubt any other ep owner does. Good thing is, we can beat the **** out of our motors for a reason to buy a k20a! i know I cant wait for the day myself haha
