Em2, ES civic in coupe version.....US got all the good stuffs
'Tis true. California has TONS of modified hondas, but we also have the most thieves out here too. If you check the Socal forum in honda-tech, there's new thread about stolen cars everyday. It's hard to keep a good looking honda in Socal.

Although the EM2 has some good style, don't let the looks fool you. The motor Honda stuck it with is really weak. The EM/ES comes equiped with a mere D17 that barely pushes out 127 hp over here. Bolt-ons, Cams, Pulleys barely gives you any gains on this motor. Only thing you can do to these is turbo or swap a K-series in if you want to see gains.
Only thing good about the D17 is saving gas. With the situation Bush put us in, gas is over $1.21 per liter [$4.60 per gallon] just for 87 octane.

in US they have 07+ Civic coupe, 08 Accord coupe, and this EM2 as well. not to mention the Element and Ridgeline as well
No worries..you guys have the DC5-R, EP3-R, ITR and the new 4 door Civic Type R all in RHD. And when I was browsing around in the appearance forum, you guys also have better photographers than we do. It kind of evens out I guess..

I don't really remember how i found out about OH. Must've been in someone's signiture. We do have a SocalCivic.com which I'm a part of and I think there's a member on there who's from Sydney but I'm not quite sure. He drives a light blue ek. His name just slipped my mind right now.

hehehe, bro, we don't get the EP3R nor FD2R. most people have the EP3 from private import, not from a dealer. FD2R is just a dream to have one here for a road driven car.
