Kenneth.

Haha, it's all happening in Chatswood!

I noticed the white Sportivo with wing tips, didn't realise it was you Mark! Definitely got my attention! Good work. :)

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.

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
  

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. ;)

Haven't touched this thread in months.. anyway the car still looks.. the same. :P

I did however, rotate the wheels this morning..

New mods arriving soon!

Exhaust sounds good! Dude, catch up soon!

Inspiration looks the business.. but please don't mount your number plate like that.. looks out of place on the WRX :)

Dark blue pre-face ZZE Levin/Sportivo with genuine JDM headlights in Chatswood today

Look up Project Kics. They do a 10mm hub centric bolt-on spacer. :)

(You may need to buy the hub centric rings separately depending on the sets you find..)

Can Honda's drop by and say hello too? :D

Nice work with the choice of wheels! Next stop.. LOWtown.

TTE spoiler looks sweet! It's like a smaller version of the EP3's spoiler.. :D

Think I spotted Seby's Corolla at Olympic Park Maccas a few evenings back..

Spotted John's ZRE parked at Rhodes today.

JESSEA, JVN11L, ZR6XY, and a few other Sportivos at the Canibeat x JDMST meet at JDMyard.

Raised the rear.. 2" drop all round now. Functional height ftw!

'nuff said!

Spotted Bill in the Blue Bombshell cruising down Dawn Fraser Avenue the other afternoon.

*like*

Goodluck keeping it mainly stock! ;)

wth happened to Cuong's car??

Spotted a white pre-facelift Sportivo with offset racing stripes in red in Lidcombe this afternoon.

Heh, something was seriously wrong with that STI.

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

These are what my hub centric rings/spacers look like - Sorry I only have an iPhone pic:

Correct! I will be looking at running 215/45R17 when I get some new shoes..

New shoes will ofcourse be 17x8 +35.. heeheehee.

Thanks guys!

John, the wheels are 17x7" wide with a stock offset of +45 (+25 effective). ;)
