Olly meets up with the man behind the design of the Type R EP3, Julian Thomson. Julian has his very own Honda Civic Type R EP3 as he tries to employ the philosophy of “Drive what you design” and in this video, we discuss the design process as well as the the final design shape. Julian is a huge fan of the hot hatch, owning many others over the years including a Renault 5 Turbo GT, Golf GTi, Ford XR2i. Nowadays the FL5 Civic Type R that his wife owns as the current daily is welcome alongside a Clio 182, a Lotus Elise (that he also designed) and many more cars in the fleet.

What an absolute legend, by far the best car I've owned and still almost 6 years down the line, I'm still not bored of it, I always turn and look back thinking it's such a good looking car 👌

more importantly the sideskirts, were the clips go into the body, water leaks in from here and causes rust on the sills from the inside, which not many people knew until now, common the ep3 and accords the way the side skirts are designed, and because it rains so much in uk water ends up flowing through down into the sills from the sideNot too much of an issue were the temperatures are high such as japan as once water gets down there it evaporates quickly but in the uk because of the low temps water just stays there an eats away at the metal

ive loved my EP3 since i bought it in 2014. its a 2002 in Milano Red. Ive swapped in a K20A2 / 6 speed to try and capture a bit of the Type R essence a few years back and its a joy to drive. It has been showing its age but i still love it dearly. Very cool to see the man who designed it and hear his story. 👍👍

Use to prefer the EG/EK shape Civic, but as EP shape is getting older and rarer they've aged quite well. Surprised his never driven a stock one and his not got the stock Enkei Wheels on it cause I love the look of them.

4 wheels on each corner!? What a good idea😂 They was always known as the ugly Honda until that last sort of 10 years. Showing my age in the Honda scene here but they aged very well and I think the design grew on everyone over time

This was a heart breaking design coming from the EK4. I never understood those headlights, I used to called this the Japanese Scenic (Renault). 😂 Now I wouldn't mind owning one but need to found a solution for those ugly headlights. 😅
