I am still working out what i do with the car and whole situation but will know in next few days.
Steve, parts i have are rm-01a, gruppe m, vafc 2, front 4 point underbody brace, carbing rear tie bar, J's racing strut brace with etd, rear cusco brace, another J's racing strut brace. Also have tein SS(with camber tops) on the way, won't chuck it on the car so will be brand new for sale when get here.
The gruppe m, rm-01a and vafc 2 are on hold pending couple things but can't see that changing, front + rear underbody bracing along with front strut with etd have someone interested.
will let everyone know as things progress as well and what sells and what doesn't etc.
Steve, you might be interested, i have a silicon hose to replace stock air pipe as they are known to split with a gruppe as it moves. pm me about that if your keen.
Yeah man you just let me know about those things we talked about
thanks
hey why don't u sell this together with Gruppe M hehe.Quote:

Well I started importing one without even ever seeing one in person, and few days ago typercivic took me for a spin in his and it just put smile on my face hehe
pretty cool car with great NA performance
sorry guys, yeh the coilovers will be here in about 3 wks is what i meant.
yeah very tru. I gotta build up a relationship with my car :oQuote:

- specs can be found using Google. there are tons of information from UK as the EP3 were made there. however JDM cars have more power, LSD, recaro and Momo.Quote:

i also bought my car without driving it and i'm very happy with it so far.
EP's are pretty much the same as a DC5R in terms of reliability. Never had an issue with anything (touch wood).Quote:

Dont compare this to a 93 MX6, different era, different quality!
Best thing for a noob to Honda is to go for a drive.
yup
i was convinced when my girlfriend bought her ep3 (which i drive always, she is not allowed to drive hehehehe) and i have ditched my s15.
i do sometimes miss the power but just overall drive is amazing in the ep3, fun and reliable. does not feel like its gonna blow up if i give it a hit

hey guys,
im looking at purchasing an ep3, wanted to ask for afew opinions of ep3 owners or people that might know abit about ep3's.
are there common issues about ep3's i should look into upon inspections? mechanical, body?
as for aftermarket parts, are the dc5r parts basically the same or similar (exhuast/suspension/intakes)?
are the cars any good? pros/cons? would you recommend people to purchase the ep3 over the dc5r?
is the depreciation rate of the ep3 higher than the dc5r?
and lastly what did you guys pay for your ep3's so i can have some sorta indication to what price i should be paying.
thanks,
willy
nothing major, just the same for all used car.Quote:

those things you mentioned are not identical with DC5R. mods that are common to K20 will be pretty similar.
EP3 is jdm spec while our dc5r isn't. which means ep3 has more power, bigger wheels etc.Quote:
are the cars any good? pros/cons? would you recommend people to purchase the ep3 over the dc5r?
the major con on ep3 would be the fact that it's an import with all issues common to all imports being insurance and parts etc.
dunno on this one.Quote:
is the depreciation rate of the ep3 higher than the dc5r?
02 ep3 can be bought for aound 25k while facelifted (04 on) would usually be over 30k.Quote:
and lastly what did you guys pay for your ep3's so i can have some sorta indication to what price i should be paying.
what kind of price for insurance should i be expecting. ive tried afew online quotes and the vehicle doesnt exist due to being an import.
wondering what you guys are paying for insurance?
$1600
^ $1600?! who with?
Its different for everyone. You need to find out for yourself. Just call them, shannons, just cars etc.....Quote:

can the EP3R fit golf clubs without folding the seats?
i'm interested in getting the EP3R too.
i pay <$800 a year with shannons with an agreed value of $30k.
i dunno how big the boot of Dc5 so i can't comment but EP3's boot is bigger than jazz and about the same as Golf.Quote:

i think dc5s is bigger since its a coupe
EP3 has 313L:
http://www.honda.co.jp/factbook/auto...img/03_p01.gif
can't find any info for DC5.
I think it'd be quite similar, as the DC5 is a coupe and has less overhead space throughout due to the slope of the hatch.Quote:
