No such thing as bullet proof, a car is only as good as the service it gets.

From experience Honda and the Vtec engine are bloody expensive to repair, I had an Accord 2.2 Vtec it was great until it went wrong, thank god it was a company car.
Was bloody quick though.

Look after it and it will look after you.


Yup a car will only be as good as it is looked after! I can tell the previous has ragged this car a little bit, but it was relativly cheap for what it was and i dont mind a challenge!  :grin:

A mate just put a B18 from an integra in his EK, dayam its quick! Definetly some inspiration for this cars engine in think...

First brand new, showroom fresh car we bought was an EP3 CTR, great car, I never felt it lacked torque as it certainly lacked the stodge that of the Mk4 1.8t it replaced so it all evens itself out.  Only thing that I felt let the car down was the feel of the switchgear, they were getting things to look right at this stage but the buttons, indicator stalks, etc, just felt too flimsy in my hands.  That and the front seats mechanism not remembering the position when the released for rear seat access, well annoying.  Everything felt it was designed to an exact brief, not over engineered and certainly not under, just right.

The earlier cars just look to old granny for me.

Yeah i know what you mean about the interiors, can be abit flimsey but not as bad as i thought it would be! Also the seat this is anoying  :grin:

Looks sweet! Vtec Yoooo is the way.

Tegiwa Imports? ha

There's no tegiwa parts on my car!.... except a brake stopper...  :grin:

Looking to get some MeisterR's soon  :smiley:

Nothing wrong with Tegiwa parts, i have one of their carbon fibre intakes on my EP3 rather than get the gruppe M for twice the price. Sounds rude!

Did the brake stopper actually do anything?

Meister R's!! Get on it mate, its either them or some tein jobbies with the EDFC??!
