DC-5 beats EP-3 in just about every aspect. Better handling, more power (iirc?), more practicality and much less common.

Even a DC-2 would be a better bet IMO than a Civic Type R EP-3.

Insrance is a lot higher on a DC5 though, better choice of the two. FN2 can be had for under £10k now

Intergras give me wood. Much nicer looking than the Civics imo. Only thing is I think that gash red interior a lot of them (all of them?) come with is terrible :sick:

Only in japan due to higher Ron, they make the same power once on our stuff. LSD is only benefit, but then they are a few insurance groups higher. Seats are the same as the premier edition models.
