The Problems With The EP3 - Why I Sold It
While the EP3 was a fun car it had a few problems that led me to sell it after a year of ownership. Some of these issues are with the car in general and some are with my specific car. Here is why I sold it.

This is hella unfortunate... After a valve adjustments, why ep3 has been smoking and burning alot of oil.

Installing the first step towards tuning my car with Hondata. Went with a Injen SRI instead of the CIA due to a multitude of reasons.

    I decided to sell mine it just needs to much to make good power like 10 grand if you dont want to go turbo i had the 4 lug version and that made it worse. They are great cars honda just didnt give us the enthusiast version. It can be made great but for a cost i wasnt willing to pay

    I had an integra GSR that had typical NY rust- fixed all the rust cleaned it up and sold it for 6k and the od clicked 300k the same time the buyer was test driving it. Made 4K on that car. Now, I’m in GA. We ain’t got time for rust here.

    We did this on 2004 EP3, and we wound up putting it back in. That weight centered the weight distribution. The car is my wife's daily driver, she is petite 105 soaking wet. She drives it like she stole it and has had the car since new. She complained that removing the seat made it unpredictable. So remove at your own risk. It is not a race car, this is a really quick grocery getter that encourages taking the long way home.

    I bought an 02 Civic Si recently and my impression of the car is it’s a money pit that’s hard to work on. Having a new ignition switch module replacement and 2 new programmed keys cost me $1600 - yes, without an ECU change you have to go to the dealer. From the moment I had to pay that repair bill I hated the car in particular and Honda in general.

    1:57 I-VTEC is on all K series, not just the fuel efficient/economy motors like the K20A3. What makes I-VTEC different from the original VTEC is the introduction of the VTC system which all K series have.

    Saw the box in the thumbnail. Same headlights I got in for my silver EP3! I already have LEDs I pulled out of my CR-V that was my late father's. When I get off work today, I'm pulling in the garage and firigin up the space heaters. It's 30 degrees here in Michigan right now. Really wish we didn't have to pull the bumper off. I had a 93 EX coupe that had been lowered before I got it. Had to drive it up on a ramp to change the oil. Had to pull the bumper off before I could drive up the ramp lol.
