I think I would be tempted by the 996 if it wasn't for the fried eggs. I can't stand the fried eggs. |

EP3's are love it or hate it. |
Was in the Meh camp for EP3, but as it ages its sort of growing on me. Weird |
my brother goes through cars like underwear. prob his longest running daily was an ep3. it did everything really well for a daily driver. fuel economy, peppy, easy to park, comfortable, cargo space. it's a JDM GTI. I thought it was pretty fun to drive too. He would admit that his mistake was he started to mod it. It was a pain to lower, aftermarket exhaust made it a heatscore and the tuning he did (i think it was kpro) made it less driveable. Buy one - keep it stock. |
The steering geometry is pretty bad, stock. Lowering it without taking extra steps, just makes it worse. I think it's pretty cool that it's assembled in England and easy to upgrade the drivetrain, since it's essentially a base RSX. |
Assembled in england is a good thing? |
drove a stock EP3 home as a demo before. had factory HFP kit on it. it was great fun. super fun to toss around. squeals tires. seemed pretty roomy inside and the shifter was nice to use. I think they're quite under rated. some of those EP3 civics could be had for under 4k. EK hatch backs nowadays are over 3k for a decent shell......... makes the EP3 a great bang for the buck honda hatch if you dont mind its looks and stupid suspension layout. |
EP3 has been on my radar as they are cheap and a more powerful k20 can be dropped right in without any fab work. |

With the pre-facelifted cars, I also think the stock brakes are too weak. The facelifted cars with the 5-lug switch comes with better brakes (taken out of the RSX), but I have never driven one of those facelifted cars before. |

https://www.hondata.com/kpro The 5 bolt cars are more desirable - especially if you can find one w the factory bodykit. I can't remember why lowering sucked so much. Still think they are great little dailys though - at that's coming from a die hard euro car guy |
^ it is a euro build though! haha hence some love from euro guy |

The rear suspension design on the the EP3 / RSX is also very poor, although I no longer remember exactly why that was the case. In the competitive motorsports world, the generally accepted solution is to keep the rear spring rates as high as you can / tolerable, and keep the rear suspension from moving around too much. |
Decent price on a clean looking 3.2 G50 Targa. Get a set of Fuchs and you're good to go. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...208692914.html https://images.craigslist.org/00b0b_...m_1200x900.jpg |
