Exactly like a dc5r to maintain.

Around 80,000ks the clutch will go , also clutch master and slave cylinders -
Then it's a normal Honda.

Great daily car , handles great. Watch the
Torque steer at funny situations like sharp turns up hills etc

thanks for the info!

drive my car 24/7. Love it

no problems what so ever. And like ben said, careful of torque steer. I use to drive with 2 hands on the steering wheel but then i decided to drive with 1 for the extra street cred. Nepolian has the ultimate street cred though

good daily car, comfortable recaros unlike the dc5 recaros.

they dont hold you in place as good when youre really giving it haha

somtimes it be like i want tighter/higher bolsters or something slightly higher than what we got.

just a normal honda really as long as you don't do any body damage. seat is comfy but sometimes i wish i have the SR3/4.

re clutch master and slave cylinders, are they EP3 specific or DC5 ones will work?

thanks

No problems so far and dynoed at 122kw stock

You make me feel bad. I just bought mine for $20.5k TODAY with 60k

Hopefully, after work when I pick it up, it will make me forget all that.
