Kenneth's JDM EP3

Recommended Posts

Thanks man! You mean the Huffy Slider? Or which bike?

Almost all of my shots are taken with a Canon 450D. Photos are taken with different lenses, but all the recent ones are taken with a Canon 17-55mm lens. The 5 shots involving the Huffy are taken with a Canon S95 point and shoot camera.

Yeah the slider! I think you posted a while back, no? Looks like hella fun! :D

Damn that's a nice lens! No wonder! Haha I'm planning to get Sigma 30mm f1.4!

P.s. love the stance!!

132.2kW with a GruppeM intake on an otherwise stock EP3. That's roughly 10kW from just an intake.. :P

Nice little EP3, I prefer the look of these over the new type R's.

Awesome power from just an intake, I'm curious as to how much the EP3 weighs, should go real quick if its a light car.

And how do these go as a daily driver, they go ok in the low revs?

Thanks mate. According to the specs the EP3 weighs in at 1,190KG (equipped with air con).

They are great as a daily drive, heaps of usable power throughout the everyday rev range (1~4k rpm). Even better when it hits 6,200 rpm. ;)

It varies across different Honda engines and also depends on the model it's in.

For example:

  • K20A engages at 6,200rpm - JDM DC5R/EP3R
  • K20A2 engages at 6,000rpm - AUDM DC5R
  • K20Z1 engages at 5,800rpm - AUDM DC5S
  • B16B Type R engages at 6,200rpm - JDM EK9R
  • B18C Type R engages at 5,700rpm - JDM DC2R

Although I own a Corolla, but I am a fan of Civic Type R (except FN2)

If Honda brings in FD2 instead of FN2, and lower the price a bit, I would have bought it..

I don't want to buy an old car for daily driving..

Honda charges $40K for a torsion beam rear suspension in FN2, WTF !!! Even a sedan has double wishbone

What future mods do you want? Are you going to track?

Your car has huge potential. The K series engine is the state of the art

Thanks Ben! Same here, not a fan of the FN2. I hear Honda Japan is no longer going to produce the Civic.. could that mean no more JDM Civic Type Rs?

I'm aiming to hit the track sometime in September. Wheels should be here sometime this coming week. Will order new tires then as well.. followed by another wheel alignment. Thinking of running slightly less camber all round.

looks super slick man love the ep3 nice to see one in beautiful condition

Thanks mate! It's in an alright condition for an 8 year old car.. pretty happy with it.
