i am thinking about buying the new si and i was just wondering if its a good decison, and if your happy with the car after buying one any regrets?

 

i dont regret buyin the ep at all

 

in stock form is it still pretty capable/fun to srive

 

only regret you might have is not having a k20a2, but other than that they're good cars.

 

yeah i do wish the car would've come with K20A or A2, but overall I'm very pleased with the car.

 

No regret.

 

get an SRT-4 instead....

EWWWWWWWWWWW! NEON!

If you do not mind being a little slow then go with EP3, it is a fun car. Otherwise, save a few buck and get a DC5, IMO.

 

I love my EP and my Hondata

 

yeah you're gonna love it

 

ok. besides the complains about their tranny. anyone experiencing warped rotors/ early wear of pads? how about engine stability? does anyone feel as if the engine would drop anytime. fyi. i don't drag it's a dily river and i've taken it on togue once. no major mods. just little ones the BC III ex, tanabe springs, and rota c8's

 

a) my tranny is fine, 32k miles.

b) no early wear issues, still have a little bit left on the pads now.

c) engine seems very stable, my fuel econ. has actually improved with age.

d) the steering rack squeak I had from lowering the car has suddenly disappeared, which rocks.

you have to decide that for yourself and maybe you should do some more research. I kind of regret not getting EVO, because I wanted it so much, but SI is definitely worth the price and no regrets.

 

I love mine, it handles like a Go-cart. Fun to drive, you always catch someone eye, most people have never seen one of these kinda cars.

And (back me up here guys) you always hear " Wow look where they put the shifter!!!!"

I don't look back on mine, just take it for a test drive, do what I did, find the cutest sales girl, tell her you want to take the car for a LONG test drive, brought my sales girl out to lunch, we put about 50 -60 miles on the car that afternoon.

 

does the position of the shifter bother you guys? im just wondering becuase im consdering to either get the EP3 or DC5-S in a couple of months...

It's more ergonomcally correct and more comfortable than most cars I've driven.

 

i mean so u do prefer it over the more traditional way?

 

Absolutely. There's a reason that rally cars have their shifters console mounted.

 

thanks bro

 

sure thing man. Seriously, just take one for a spin. That's how I was sold on mine.

 

yeah ill test drive both before i decide

 

Best civic I have owned stock. Everybody has so HIGH expectations when they see "civic SI", remember, it's just a civic.

If your looking for power, do a swap or turbo the damn thing. Every civic model needs to be swapped or turbo'ed to satisfy some peoples needs.

I bought an EP3 and just started my project and this car is just amazing.

 

**** SRT-4 crap, it's just a wanna be Import

 

Does anyone know how much it would cost to drop in a K20A2 into my EP3 and what mods do i need to make to it, tranny, ECU, etc.?
