The EP3 is a great car out of the box. Here in the U.K. they have a big following. They’re going to be future classics soon

I prefer the look of the ek9 much more. The EP3 as a factory package is admittedly better

On the last corner when the EK grabbed second it brought back so many fond memories of that cars handling

K20 in the EK, best of both worlds!

EK9にK20Aプラス6MT載せたらなかなか面白いかも

This is sick, love both cars, my favourite is the EP3 though, followed by the EG6 and then the FL5 - I’ve had 2 Satin Silver EP3’s, one a Premier Edition and the other not, my final EP3 being a Championship White Imported one, prefacelift, love the car, only have a Tegiwa Air Intake and some cosmetic mods and it feels lovely, I’m 21 now so insurance at first was a bit high, I’m looking to buy a EG6 in Championship white to do up now, a 1.5L (I suppose it’s a different EG name) - think they look sick too, Civics are the best. 💪🏻

I mean don't get me wrong like it shows the ep3 was quicker in this case but to anyone in the UK just remember this is the JDM ep3 and is considerably more well equipped then the ukdm variant - if it was the case of UK ep3 Vs ek9 then I reckon it would be a different story but I can only vouch to the ep3 (ukdm) feeling seriously lack luster when I test drove one

was the ep3 2L engine a response to people dropping in B20s into the eg and ek

The ek9 doesn’t have the torque or short enough gearing to pull itself out of the slow corners as good as the ep3

EP3 type R is so much better than EK9 type R. Ive owned both.

トルクがあるからっていうのもあるけども、立ち上がりに適したセッティングになっててトラクションがよくかかってる。 ギア比も合ってるのかな？

Lmao ep3 gapped the fuck out of the ek.

Swap b20 block into ek9 and...bye2 ep3

k20> b16b

Ep3 great car perfect engine but ek9 looks way much better

Of course the old one is gonna be slower. Lol who makes a newer car slower than the old?????

What show is this?

直線がほぼなかったら離されないのかな？

Damn ep3 slapped. I don't care tho lol. K20 is amazing. Chassis isn't that Interesting. 2750 lbs vs the Ek's 2300. Ek looks sexy....ep3, well does not. The front end really kills the car for me. And wtf is that shifter position.

Dumb comparison.
