8-) at last you have a car that is slower than my BB4 :lol: :twisted:

not much to look at the EP3's but a lot of honda for your money imo ;)

bodywork looks good and cant see much paint fade - red is such a difficult colour to live with :)
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

Nice 8-)

These things feel good to drive, the k series and 6 speed box make them feel so eager and Rev happy, good choice :)

Personally, I find the engine very bland compared to an h series. It revs, but... No excitement or feeling of grunt, was my experience.

I think we gauge excitement on different things Wurl :lol: I know what your saying there is a lack of torque low down if I remember but I just love the 9k rev limiter :twisted:

i think its the difference between the old mechanical vtec and ivtec you dont get as much of a kick
my friend calum had one at 240bhp and 9200 rev limit it felt totally different after being maped on the k pro with bolt ons it picked up about 70bhp in the mid range at one point
