Exactly what I wanted to type. :thumbsup:

People jump to conclusions too quickly and assume things without experiencing it themselves.

The EP3 is a good track machine, I have tried and tested it on calder park. The gear sticks actually complements shifting quickly on the track. One of the best FF I have driven.

I'm with you bro.....I reckon they corner better then DC5R....especially on tight track like calder or winton....

Whilst we're on EP3's, am I the only one who thinks that sitting at 3600rpms or so is abit high whilst just doing over 100kms in sixth??

Or is it just the gearing in my car??

There is nothing wrong with it, the standard final gear ratios on the K20A on the JDM EP3 is very short, around 4.7

I even have a spoon final drive ratio of 5.1 which I have yet to fit into my EP3. If you think 3600rpm at 100km is high, how about 5.1 final drive? (approx 4k I think) hehe

0.38 seconds? What you mean?

Poor fuel consumption yes, but it does not matter much to me, my car isn't a daily driven transporter, it's setup for more track runs and weekend days.

I have a toyota for daily.
