who was the show off that parked there ep3 next to my evo at princess (vic) tonight?!
hey guys,
I spoke to my compliancer the other day to make sure they wouldnt tamper with my HID's and that I would get them back. But they said, EP3's dont have HID's they just have adjustable headlights???
Could someone please let me know asap so I can get back to my compliancer
I have a 2002 EP3 by the way. which from the japanese pictures has OEM fog lights, if that helps at all
Thanks
My headlights are HIDs and I've got an 02 EP3 if that helps.
what a load of sh!T.
what adjustible headlights??? nothing adjustible on mine unless the screws in the engine bay.
make sure your car is a "C package". if it is, it would have OEM HID regardless what year model it is. as i said, to find out if it's a c package, check to see if the car has power folding mirror and external temp display within the range/odo meter. just scroll through the menu and u'll see it if you have it. also all C package has tinted rear glass but some non C might be tinted afterwards so not a true indicator.
OEM foggies are optional parts so that doesn't help to determine whether your car should have HID or not.
hey guys,
spoke to IMG they said with the currency being so high in Japan their going to get CTRs from UK instead as their money has dropped with ours. I'm seeing them this Sat too to sit down and have a talk
I really want JDM one as opposed to it being better somehow.
Might consider UK model.
i know there is talk with like 10kws difference with UK and JDM but Andrew from IMG told me this possibly could be cause of the 91ron standard fuel tested in UK compared to the 98ron standard fuel in Japan. But he's not 100% sure.
Anybody know the differences in UK and JDM model Facelifts?
dont quote me but i believe uk lacks LSD and the interior might not be as good
i wouldn't get the UK model purely because it is not as good as the JDM one.
main difference being:
- inferior engine;
- no LSD;
- no recaros (unless limited edition);
- no HID;
- might have rust problem.
might as well get a used FN2R at low 30k. at least it's newer and Aussie delivered.
UK built the cars then gave the best ones to japan and an inferior product to there own people...so sad
Damnit.
I didn't want the UK one either. I guess i'll have to wait till it gets cheaper in japan and import during then.
Thanks guys, you guys been great help in making decisions.
You may be disappointed with the EDM version as all of the above points would make me feel like an inadequate EP3 owner, compared to the rest of the JDM EP3s out there as a lot of the niceties are missing.
What about looking some of the EP3s that are already here and are currently on sale? They are all JDM versions.
I am so dissapointed man. Been waiting a long time saving up to get this EP3 and in finally have to $ to get it but the currency went down.
p3p5y yea i've looked but nothing fits my budget. I'll have to wait.
