If I ever get an EP3, I would so debage it and apply Jazz Badge on it.

DC5R vs EP3??

I have owned an EP3 and driven a DC5 many times. One of the downsides of the EP3, in my opinion is the electronic power steering which to me isn't anywhere near as good as the DC5 hydraulic power steering. The EP3 feels just too light and non communicative whereas the DC5 feels more direct and heavy. But either way you can't go wrong.

This guy in the US has retrofitted the DC5's steering in his EP3.
But yeah if steering feel is the main niggle for someone then they should just get the DC5 =D

No worries eskimo, it's an amazing build to read through!
Yeah EP3 headroom and legroom is great.
The boot is also pretty well sized, even more so if you remove the parcel shelf and fold seats down.
That being said with just the parcel shelf taken off I fit 3 passengers, 4 peoples worth of luggage and a guitar in the boot for a weekend away at Katoomba.
And I could still see out the back window! =D

Screw Honda Australia and their "JDM cars won't run on Australian fuel" mantra.
So many cool cars we never got, let me start the ball rolling:
70s - 90s
'74 RS 1200 Civic
'80 Civic S
'84 Civic Si (ZC powered)
'90 EF8/EF9 Civic/CRX
'90 Integra XSi
Post '90
EG6
EK9
EP3
Every single car above was not deemed to hit our shores, but every car above came with a higher level of trim and power than their Aussie poor-white-trash-cousins. It's like Honda Australia took a dump in our mouths and we considered it to be the best thing ever.
Where was our
JDM tune/spec DC2R and DC5R
Beat FFS!!!!! Despite the fact they showed it at the Sydney Motor Show
Don't sell me that "Aussie fuel bad" crap, I was driving an EF9 in the 90s with no change to tune and knew a guy who had an '86 Si in the late 80s/early 90s. How many JDM EP3s struggle to run on Aussie '98? None.
ok... rant off1988 CRX
1999 Integra Type R
2020 Civic Type R
