hey dudes, the Ep3 is now GONE and will be live here : www.7daysperformance.co.uk/?ref=adamivell make sure you buy through this link! leaving it here now for when its live! thanks so much for all the support for the videos!

My Mum bought one of the very first ep3 type r's, December 2001 Registered. We did the Honda Mac Appreciation course which was brilliant. It's the best car of a good bunch of cars that we have owned. Quick enough to scare the pants out of any passenger.

Can't help but feel like the pre-facelift EP3 just looks like a jazz 😂🙄

Love seeing you bomb it round near I live. They're some mega roads with some proper tight corners 😎

Always loved how honest and enjoyable you are when giving your own thoughts about it. Sick video as always mate! Looking forward to more sick content!

Your reviews are getting better and better. Really enjoyed this.

So close to 50k mate! Deserve way more but still progress🤘🏼 sick video as always man

Dude I just stumbled across this video by chance, never owned a civic and never will but if anyone were to sell it to me it would be you lad! Your personality is incredible! This platform is you all over! Keep at it man, genius stuff! 🚀

I like this video ... keep it up pal also well done almost 50 k!!!

Excellent video mate, i find it mad that u have gone back to basics and been great to watch. Jesse is just starting his journey modding one but again a great watch.. Surely u can sell him some mods 👍

Nice job Adam car looks sick 😍

Nice video bro I don’t normally watch your stuff but it came on suggested videos , other then that ep3 is the best type r because they are just dank !

Was working at MSC logistics in Gt Blakenham when these were new. Had about 6 off the trailer every week. Not sure on the type-r work after factory, but according to the manifests they'd spend around 6 months stored in Cyprus after leaving Swindon. Turns out it was less tax for Honda to declare them as imports than if they sent them direct to the dealers.

I want that car. I've got a NHB facelift but damn that premier interior is nice. Also everyone saying the standard EP seats are trash needs to try VAG from the same era. Bean bags have more support.

Good review! I've got a Cosmic Grey Type R which I've had for just under 2 months and absolutely love it. With regards to the front suspension it is so weird but I haven't noticed any bump steer issues with the standard setup. I think it's more of a problem when lowered.

Would love a low mileage silver prem edition but rare as rocking horse poop nowadays. They still look relevant today.

I love seeing passion like that, makes me want to get one now even more

a bonus with the 4 door (not really a 'hot' hatch tbh still a civic tho) is the back seats fold down flat and the space is big enough for at least 2 5ft 10in people to sleep in fetal position so you can spend all your rent money on parts and still have somewhere to sleep

Always been an ek guy myself used to own a 99 ek before i sold it and got an ek9 (amazing car but poor financial choice at the time) and imo the ep3 doesn't compare to the ek9. Borrowed a friends ep3 for a month when i didnt have a car after he bought it for the engine and it's an incredibly fun car, likes to kick the tail out sometimes in corners which is always fun. I own a polo gti 6r now (shoot me) and it doesnt compare in anyway to an old honda... fast but boring. Something about hondas just create instant smiles to the driver, I can see why you've stuck around them for so long! And why I subscribed here in the first place. Keep it up Adam!

Great review man 👍🏼 might be looking at getting one soon!

247, you been going to tdi north too much 😂

Fuck I saw this video yesterday and brought a 05 ep3 type r today. What a car.

Heavy review hit the nail on the head with the way they feel welldone BIG UP BIG UP

Hey man top video. I’ve just bought an Accord Type R which is the coolest Type R you can buy. If you can do a review/buyers guide on one as they are brilliant.

7:00 I couldn't hold my laugh xD

Awesome car the EP3! Future classic

Has anyone noticed with the type rs the plastic on the rivets that hold the make number down! They riveted it on with plastic coating over the plate 😂😂 most people would rip the plastic off after a week or two but unless you trimmed it with a Stanley you’d always leave some around the rivets

Adam nice review, thoroughly enjoyed that and you're right the JDM ep3 is far better in every way. I'm not mocking the euro version but it's the truth.

You’re right! The k20a3 sucks! Swapping to k20a2 with 6 speed 😍 near future! Great vids!

Miss my old ep3

Had one back in the day brand new Jan 2005 had it for 9 yrs until it was written off.. they're definitely a drivers car.. my only criticism is the lack of torque due to the engine being N/A..

Used to hv a ep2 but too many common problems but i want to try a ep3 insurance is too much atm maybe next year

I love these cars, I chose a Mk1 Leon Cupra R instead in 2015 when I had a chance to buy one. Would love too own one one day though.

Brilliant video bud, does my head in that your videos don’t get the views they deserve, Your so much better than a lot of the other car Bloggers, Back on topic , mate I bought my fd2 back in December and hand in heart it’s in a different league to other type R models , including the epic dc2. Just my opinion, I’m a big Honda enthusiast and just saying the fd2 is a mighty mighty machine 👌 look forward for when you finally do a video on one and you can see for yourself bud. Keep the content coming , channel has to blow up sooner or later.

The way he said review 😂

Yo, I have one of these but didn't know about the 247 ecu and map. Where do I start looking cos that sounds very tempting?

I love mine ❤️

i use to own one. always wanted one, unfortuantely i bought one from some dodgy dealer in leicester. My fault really. Blew up the very next moment i took it home. But for those 2 seconds of driving i loved it.

The only car I regret selling was my ep3 I'll own another one day

That’s why iv had 3 of them lol like said for the money can’t beat them, maybe a 182🤔 I really want a Dc2 but atm I might azwel buy a dc5 for the same money?

Give Calvin a bell mate is got an fd2 at his dealership

Sick whip !

Fiat panda has a shifter in the dash like that...basically a fast panda...basically nothing like a panda

The k20a2 and k20 were made here then the jdm one shipped over. Bump steer can be eradicated using either a rack raiser or inverted tie rod ends.

I want my EP3 back 😢

Such an awesome car 👌👍

Quick question will a rim size of 17x9 et30 fit on this car?

Where can I find one of these?

I'll be in that raffle 👍

Man, i regret selling mine last year to make way for my m3. 240bhp with the suspension pretty well sorted for b road abuse, the most FUN Ive had in a car, not the fastest thing on the road straight line but I never got out of it without a huge grin in my face. I would of loved to keep both but realistically I barely get the time to take 1 car out regularly so I would have been paying 2 lots of bills to have 2 cars sat on my drive doing nothing

The one car i wish i never sold :(

Get in touch with calvins car diary, he has an fd2, two good yotubers nice collab there

Keep the Honda and track it

Great cars. Do you find the clutch is quite difficult to manage in traffic? And the car lurches at low speeds?

I'm a vag man, Iv got to golf GTIs... ONE is a tuned manual and the other is a stock DSG, but iv always fancied one of these till someone told me the other day that you need to brake its neck to get it going, like literally haft to hammer it to get up to speed and apparently there not really that quick, and to make it faster iv been told you gotta throw loads of money at it and all parts cost a bomb, is this all true

Calvin's car diary has a fd2

You still do car reviews? Would like you to do one on a Peugeot 208 GTI, I've got one with a remap and cat back exhaust and its suck great fun.

I like pre-facelift way more

This was a bad video to watch because my Jordan still needs the brakes fixing, but all I want to do now is go and kick the shit out of it on some B roads. Cheers, sons crying now 😢😢

Monky London's got an FD2 coming from what i have seen on his insta, drop him a cheeky message and see if he will lend it to you 👍

Thinking about buying the Same generation civic but the 1.4 version and get a type r body kit or get a 1.4 ek9

Knowing that these are so cheap these days it makes me so depressed thinking that I still cant afford one :((((( I have driven one and they are great cars but out of reach for my poor ass XD

You didn't mention how the ep3 had the worst turning circle known to man 😂 I really want a set of jdm seats or Premier edition seats! The stock seats are seriously shit on a long journy!

Is the difference in the jdm ep3, dc5 vs ukdm that huge? I have an identical nhb prem and am thinking of upgrading. I need someone to tell me I won't be disappointed.

Watching this in 2021 is so depressing. People want upwards of £8k for these cars! Definitely missed the boat on getting an ep3 for 3k that isnt absolutely SHAGGED

Try contacting Calvin's car diaries

hard to find one this quiet these days

Really want a nighthawk black premier edition😥

What is the difference between ep3 and just a type R? Looking to view one tomorrow, wanted one since I was 14

It’s so good Count = 1,734

Which ep3 year is the best am looking to buying one

If a mk1 golf had this engine it would top this!

My car is waiting for you

How much was she?

Hasn't Bond still got his FD2? I'm sure he'd be down to help you out :p

The standard Type-R seats are atrocious, and premier seats are only on the rise.

When the vtec kicks in bye bye 👋

Wheres your fog light button?

Ford Ka comes with the shifter in that position haha, The Type R is basiclly a Ka :P

Now you've driven both, 172/182 or ep3?

would anyone know if this would be a good first car if you have the cash

I really want an ep3 type r for my first car so bad

Private driveway btw

247, someone smell tuna?😂

Always liked these, drove one and hated it 😂

Drove my EP3 past a pub last night and got called gay

My mgzs leaves it standing spin circles around it.

Anyone in here give me an honest opinion of trying to own one of these at 21 as your 1st/2nd car

you need to calm dwn mate if you wanna drive fast

EP3 are great cars, just upgrade the brakes! Standard anchors are💩

#247

Fiesta ST vs Civic Type R EP3 =P

It's not the price of the car it's the price of the insurance lmao

Corolla TS is even more of a bargain as EP3's are starting to rise.

Did someone say Clio 182??

Your gonna regret that 😔

That mic is bad

EP3s are slow and vtec is over hyped although they do look good

man those roads are fucking horrible

Too bad they’re ugly and loook like mini vans
