I barely see these around town and most of them are fairly stock. I think there are like five members or so on beyond that I've seen with "what I drive: ep3"

Let's see some pictures! I just lowered mine on megan coils + ingalls camber kit. Next mod is HIDs then after winter, header & exhaust.

Too bad it's winter and it's too late to have a meet.

I saw this red ep3 and it was totally stock. Who owns that? I've never seen an ep3 that color before :o

I have a black ep3 with barely any mods
hfp full body kit
front and back red h emblems
red vinyl sticker on steering wheel
megan racing coilovers

I'm looking at a good header/exhaust setup atm
header: dcrh or obx or save for a bcrh?
exhaust: hks hi power, save for spoon, or apex'i?

revelations
11-09-2008, 08:46 PM
I've seen a few Ep3s around Calgary... most look like they have been taken good care of.

I still have a few mods to do to my car... new rear lip and new front bumper would be the most obvious.

If you want anything that's not completely obnoxious then don't consider any race header. You'll gain some power but they're so loud.

I'm running the DC race header w/ 2.5" midpipe & Spoon N1 exhaust and it's deafening.

I'd recomend a race header and maybe the Apexi WS2 exhaust, apparently it's almost stock quick (before the header) and not too bad with the header.

403ep3
11-09-2008, 09:43 PM
Well I've been reading on ephatch that the dcrh is not that good of a header. I was also thinking about getting a custom made header with maybe a custom made exhaust but that would cost a lot of money. I'm looking to go obx and hks hi power..

obx and apexi ws2..that sounds good too.

I am looking to try and get 200+hp outta the stock engine or try at least.

was thinkin about picking it up next spring

Where are you picking it up from? I've been buying all my parts from the US and it's getting expensive as hell. Anyone know of any Canadian companies that sell parts at good prices? I'd buy at speedtech but yeah..I get no deals =(

petoria
11-10-2008, 04:50 PM
i buy some of my parts from a site called imageinmotion.com
there from maple ridge bc which is like 10 mins out of vancouver.
however, they're not that reliable on shipping, the last few parts i've ordered have came about a week after scheduled date...
but yahhh prices are pretty decent on the site

www.ephatch.com is your best friend. The vendors there sell almost everything. I have an 03 and it fits. I believe they the 02-03 are pretty much the same so yeah :dunno:

To redlyne: I heard the gc/koni yellow combo is very comfortable but I've never been in a car with it. There's also the Mugen and HFP suspension. Ride height is only adjusted by about an inch so it shouldn't be very rough..

I have thought about finding one aswell, LOVE the look of a nicely done EP3 (read: 88CRX) but stock they do look like vans..

403ep3
10-03-2009, 09:59 AM
I like my ep3. Right now it doesn't have that much power but it's good enough for daily driving. The shifter is not out of place at all, it is very comfortable.

There are actually some pretty nice ones in calgary that I have seen. Also, some not so nice (from what I like). There`s one white one with a buddy club body kit, not so much of a fan of it.

Mugenitis
10-03-2009, 02:42 PM
Yea i love mine to its a fun car and stock it handles decent and with some minor suspension work they handle like there on rails. the stock K20a3 is a little on the underpowered side but there great for runnin boost the compression is already decent for a low boost build. The K20A2 (RSX Type S) and K20A (CTR) are direct bolt ins and for my swap, the only issues were the ECU and a clip you need off the JDM wiring harness other that that its a smooth operation. as far as looks you all most have to go with the CTR wing or some thing aftermarket cause it makes the car look SOOO much more aggressive other than that it mine is like any other Honda in that second to third grinds when im honkin on it but it is a great little car and i would buy another one for sure.

Hey, I'm looking to get an ep3 really soon. I was wondering if there are major things that I should look out for when I check one of them out?

revelations
05-25-2010, 04:57 PM
^ www.ephatch.com


Not too many problems with the EP3 that I can think off the top of my head, one minor issue on higher mileage vehicles is spalling of the camshafts from running the stock 5w20 oil - which is too thin. Most owners run 5w30.

.jl-
05-25-2010, 05:22 PM
Ok, I'll ask the guy what oil he puts in. so 5w30 is good?

403ep3
05-25-2010, 05:50 PM
Umm there's also a small problem with a creaking steering rack. Other than that, nothing really!

Come to the ep3 meet if you get one soon! Date still to be determined

.jl-
05-25-2010, 07:36 PM
yeah the guy mentioned something about that. Thats what I'm worried about. The SRS light was on when I was test driving it and I asked him about that and he was like yeah, when you turn the wheel, the connection wire is loose. So I'm not sure...I'm having an inspection done for it on thursday...

Hoping to find a ep3 before Driven

403ep3
05-25-2010, 07:52 PM
Not to sure about the srs because my doesn't have that issue.

The steering rack creak is not a major issue and seems like an easy fix. Have a link to the ep3 for sale?

http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-2002-Honda-Civic-SIR-Hatchback-W0QQAdIdZ205887732

Theres the link. I booked an appointment to do an inspection on Thursday. The guy said his buddy is willing to may 9k for it but I'm pretty sure he is bsing. Depending on how the inspection goes, 8-8.5k is the max I'll be going

If I end up not liking that one, I'll be checking this 04 ep3 out next week

http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-2004-Honda-Civic-SiR-Hatchback-W0QQAdIdZ205522688#

I gave some thinking and decided not to get the first ep3. The guy seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about and he wasn't going to fix the SRS which was almost a grand to repair. I'll be taking a look at the 04 ep3 from red deer next week

Hmm for 8 to 9 I think the one selling on here from darkenergy at 140kms is a better deal. Its silver tho

Edit: btw, I got my 03 nhbp with hfp kit, winters and brand new all seasons for 11.3. Also, it had around 55kms. Just to help you gauge a good price.

If I didn't have a DC2 I probably wouldn't be selling the EP3, but the DC2 came first so it has priority :)
