Dude, spell check or proofread before you post. I read the first paragraph and didn't want to read anymore. Oh, and sounds like you need a new driver, not car. Almost every car can get in the triple digits... Not your cars fault.

just sell complete motor and turbo the k20 in the hatch, since you got money to spend on a d-series at the age of 16, k20 turbo it

its no that were being ugly, its that the tickets arent the cars fault. you can drive a gremlin fast enough and get a bunch of tickets. as for the ep3, the only thing i can find on it is transmission problems, grinding, notchy. but if it was replaced it should be fine, and thats on some ep's, most should be fine and honda reliable. never driven one but i rest my arm on the shifter while driving, might not be able to with the ep but its gonna be faster to shift when in performance situation FTW.

MAKE SURE TO TEST DRIVE IT FIRST AND LISTEN TO TRANS.

The main issues with Ep's are third gear pop out and the steering rack creak.Other than that they are reliable and I would definetely recomend them.

After watching the video in your classified ad, I would reccomend a scooter.

Any car can drive fast. It's the maturity and responsibility of the driver to keep that power under control.

You have neither maturity nor responsibility.

If I was your parents, you would not have a license.

So yeah....scooter for you junior.

How about you get a few spelling and grammar lessons first?

Then trade the car?

Then learn how to drive in front of the feds?

I wish I could get excited by driving an ep3... If the trade falls through try for an em1 instead.

Either way you decide, just make sure you do it for yourself. Otherwise you will regret the decision in the end.
