Honda Civic Type R (EP3)

[Mello]

Hi,

 

Anyone knows how much is a EP3 now?

Which PI carries them?

 

Will it be difficult to get repairs and parts for PI cars?

[Ghostrider]

Get the JDM specs and not the Euro Spec one....

 

If you intend to mod...the euro spec very little parts...in fact I think still got no ECU support for it...but the JDM one got many parts liao.

 

Resale value could play a part too....

Hi dude,

 

me also curious to know how much the EP3 is going for?

 

Of the DC5,EP3 and RX-8, which would be the choice?

Take into consideration the

1.FC

2.Performance

3.value-for-money factor.

 

Thanks..

FC wise..the RX8 wld b much much thirstier than the DC5 and EP3..afterall its a rotary engine..

performance wise if all 3 cars are stock..the DC5 wld emerge the best..as its track ready..

value for money factor..this is up to each and every 1..watz ur priority?looks?speed?acceleration?cornering ability??

[Skywalker]

Just wonder what's the difference between the Euro and JDM spec EP3? tot is about the same.

[Ei8hteeninch]

Definately looks but not flashy distracting looks.

acceleration of course!

cornering ability moderate but must handle well.

speed moderate. stability at 150km/h should be fine.

 

Im a confused guy but would that be the ITR?

[Ghostrider]

I would go for the RX8....poser factor.

 

Not hot with TeePee

Nice styling

RWD

Rotory Engine

 

Next I would take the DC5....for the styling and wonderful K20 powerplant....

[Ghostrider]

Slight difference....especially in the electronics. JDM got tonnes of ECU to chose from....Euro specs one like now also dun have.

[Mondeost220]

yup ITR is the DC5...

[Ei8hteeninch]

I have another question!

 

WHY would someone buy the EP3 instead of the DC5??

Isn't the EP3 more expensive than the DC5?

 

Thanks!

[S2P2]

last i heard, EP3 is 10K cheaper....

 

CARDINAL.....need u here

[S2P2]

hhhmm....how do you define "track ready"

[Ei8hteeninch]

okay even if its 10 k cheaper, i still wanna know why pple rather the EP3 over the DC5??

Reasons...

1. Hatch-lovers?

2.??

[S2P2]

personal preference? why are pple going for BMWs when there are other cars that basically handles as well and performs as well?

 

Aiyah, certain things got no solid reasons one....if you ask me, i will go for EP3 and not the DC5....nbz, all the chaos ah bengs are driving it man.

[Ei8hteeninch]

hahaha yeah quite true. I too prefer the EP3. Just that the DC5 preforms slightly better?

And that the 0-100 launch is a half a second faster?
