EP Type R Mods

[Shaun]

hi im considering purchasing an EP Type R civic, but my main concern is mods, after much searching a cant find anywhere in Australia that can supply mods of any kind for this model? can anyone point me towards some websites maybe?

[bennjamin]

mostly the same mods to a local DC5R. Its practically the same engine and engine bay /suspension setup etc.

[Shaun]

thats excellent news, so any brake upgrades coilovers , strut braces etc for a dc5r should fit the CP?

[PaZzMaN-R]

you looking in the wrong places dude.

what mods are you after?

[Shaun]

nothing in particular, just mods in general, i just want to know that if i buy the car im not gonna have to buy every mod of UK ebay! high priority would be suspension mods though

[Perry]

most EP3 mods u pretty much have to get it from japan e.g traders on the forum

[Nepolian]

Heaps of traders on the forum can get you almost anything you want.

[NightRyder]

Indeed, the traders here are a great source.. :)

[aaronng]

Also, look at UK and Europe. They have heaps crazy EP3R mods there.

[Shaun]

lol shaun wants a ep3r...
sick of ur evo3 already???

[Shaun]

haha damn u busted me!


nah i aint sick of my evo at all, i love it, but im on a licence suspension till like mid next year, and i just discovered ep3s where available for import, so i would love to jump behind the wheel of something a bit more modern and as exclusive as an ep3 when i get back on the road. but if it ends up been to expensive or whatever to swap over ill gladly hold onto the EVO, well see how it goes! :)

[NightRyder]

Dude, don't want to be sounding like your mother...lol...but from the sounds of it you are one of those hoons who have done something that was stupid to have your licence suspended... :(
If you do get an ep3, may I suggest you learn from your mistake and not abuse the ep3...hehe...it is a delicate machine that yes is fun to drive but not fun if you act stupid with it... :)

Either way the evo is also a good machine, though again, you should try to be a bit more mature and sensible with these lovely machines... :cool: :angel:

:thumbsup:

[Shaun]

hehe yeah your entitled to your 1st opinions, thats cool, ill have u know my licence suspension came due not for speeding, not for racing not for any kind of hoon behaviour, yes i was in the wrong, but i do feel a slightly targeted by the police at the time. but anyways...thats a whole other story. :cool:

[Shaun]

That sounds about right, as usual range is dependant on kms, cond etc....

I just send email to IMG importers with few questions regarding EP3, hope they can answer it quickly because I'm thinking of changing my S2K for one of these, but will see nothing decided yet.

As for parts oz honda traders are good and most of other tuning shops can order you stuff in, not a big deal for performance parts.

[Riced_Civic]

Buddyclub is you best bet for parts for the EP3

[Shaun]

yeh i just found this, check out the kit under 'racing spec aero' section, looks crazy
