Hey guys, first post. A couple days ago, I put a deposit on a EP3 that has just arrived from Japan. Compliance has been carried out and is waiting to go in for inspection.
Car is pretty much stock, save for some Mugen Type-S brake pads (any opinion on these?) and POSSIBLY, some Mugen suspension. (Hopefully not just a sticker. Again, any opinions on their sports suspension?)
Haven't had a chance to test drive the car yet for insurance reasons but will get a chance once compliance is finished.
03 model, very clean interior and exterior, I'm hoping the drive is as good as the rest of the car.
What are some things to look out for when doing the test drive? Also are there any problem areas I should check out? Should I get someone to inspect the car before proceeding any further?
I looked at another EP3 and there was rust on the boot hinges, and mild corrosion on the steering rack area. None of this is present on the one I'm looking at now but please bring to my attention any problem areas.
Regarding Honda's, I've driven a AUDM DC5R, a DC2R and a EP3R so i'm expecting this to be equal to (but probably slightly better than) the DC5 and EP3.
Thanks for all suggestions and comments!
