Hi there i am in the market for a Type R Teg DC5. However i have seen the EP3s are quite readily available online. How are these cars being imported and should i buy one over a teg, For the same money as a 100,000km teg i can get a 19,000km EP3 which is faster. And still looks the part. Are they able to be complied in NSW? What mods have to be done to them to comply? By this i mean what can be doged up by the importer to sell them? I am looking at a 2005 model on car sales. http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/HONDA/CIVIC/New%20South%20Wales/csn5323027.aspx

Also is it safe to buy these cars???? Surely a car with 19,000km with no mods should be fine?

Don't mean to be biased but buying a AUDM DC5 with 100K kms for $33.5K or there of, compared to the JDM EP3 with very low mileage, I'd buy the EP3 anyday. :)

Low mileage car = better resale value later (not with heavy mods of course!)

EP3 is very nice and quicker than the latest civic type R audm version...

worst thing about it is that shifter lol coming out of the dashboard other than that its a very tidy lookin car

a quick question for EP3 owners.

does the steering wheel have tele adjustment or only up and down?

thanks

Though U have never driven the EP3 I drove the civic VI in that year and although it looked awkard it was a nice drive, it was second hand and for the money I went for a new Jazz

I would consider a EP3 has crossed my mind many times but the price is hmm add a few more and you can get and EVO, but its not all about outright speed

riviera the location and position of the gear knob might look unusual but drive a ep3 then come back and let us know what u reckon then. B4 i purchased my car yeah the gear knob did look very weird but after driving it its awesome. Its out of the way of passengers leg and changing gears are quick and smooth and also once u change gears u can place ur left hand straight back onto the steering wheel you dont need to move ur arm much at all.

Philip Lee with the steering wheel it can only b adjusted up and down.
