The cables move to the tranny the same amount, all it does is change the leverage of where the shifter is and pivot point. It goes into gear all the way
Steevnb * yea, I had the choice to pick between the tsx and the ep3, so I test drove both, tsx manual, and It was fun! Just didn't handle that great bc it's a sedan, but I want the engine, what wiring harness do you use?
Hey sucks i didnt find this vid for 4 years.. do you still have the EP3? hows it doing rn or did u sell? they went up in value recently they are starting to get hard to find decent looking ones i got 2005 EP3 with 98k on the shell and the k20 base it was a decent motor but i now got a K24A2 and 6 speed k20a2 type r Trans. its tuned 93 it got 226HP its alot of fun a huge difference but alot of wheel spin on 16s true DC2 TYPE R rims.. what tires would u reccomend?
I ended up selling it years ago. That’s a nice setup on its! I would reccomend trying to fit a 245 tire in front. For daily driving maybe a continental extreme contact sport or if you want something more agressive some Bridgestone re71r or Yokohama aoh2
Mecha Mark awesome bro!!! Do u also have a racing seat? Bc I know using harnesses on stock ep3 seats are very dangerous... but awesome I'll sub to you !
U have to send the ECU into hondata and they do it for you. It gave u launch control, a little bit more horsepower and torque to complement intake and exhaust mods. It was noticeable. But in my opinion you should save and get KPRO bc u can tune it
@@RedlineRicer just got my hands on a 02 and it needs alit of TLC. I'm going to focus on suspension first but it's good to get info from somebody who has gone down that road already.
Are you experiencing any tire rub with that size wheel. I have 17x8 wheels with stock struts and they rub. Wondering if you had that issue or since you have the d2 coilovers were you able to avoid that?
andyt713 for me. It's fine! But keep in kind the d2 racing coilovers are a lot thinner than the stick struts so it doesn't touch the tire. Also, my offset is +45, and with a 17x8 wheel, it doesn't hit my shock, but it hits my rear beam (linkage in the back) so I have a 4mm spacer to make the offset in the rest +40. Offsets are a very tricky thing. Hopefully that helped!
This was like 3 years ago lol whej I was building it. I sold it right whej they were still worth a good amount. Nowadays ep3s are like 1-3 k where I live
Sunny Yu get one! It's really popular in the Honda Community. I would say go for the seat I have, the limited edition seat, as the padding is better, the material is better and it's actually pretty comfy. It isn't as comfortable as a sparco evo 2 seat, but if you get the "large" size, it's comfortable. Not once have I had pains from driving in the seat, but that being said, I haven't driven for longer than 1 hour at a time... hope that helped! And please subscribe if you haven't already!
sounds good. im actually running buddyclub rails on sparco evo 2 seats sad to hear not as comfy :(, but ill see about that. The fitment doesnt work impossible to line up the last bolt so gonna decide on the buddyclub just so my fitment is right. Do you know the sizing for regular and large? I'm 5'7 170lb
Sunny Yu my waist size is a 31 or 32 and I fit fine, I got some space, but it's to a minimum, I would say go for the large, but it's up to you!! If your waist size is under a 30 I would say go for a regular
@@RedlineRicer I really like my EP3, but was considering AWD for winter. I'll need to do a lot of chassis upgrades (I bought it lowered) bc it's really squirrely on ice. Either that or try a WRX.
Super dope homie. Just picked up an ep3. Gonna be a long journey, but one step at a time. Thanks for showing the catback sound too. Super solid.
Just bought one yesterday! This video is awesome inspiration!!!
I just want to upgrade the shitty stock suspension on my 02 ep3 Bit by bit. Then after that swap out that slow ass a3. I cant wait..
Ep3 was fun!! I now have an mr2
Al fin un vídeo traducido GRACIAS!!
redline racer you're popping up in my recommended now wtf. i was just looking up ep3 videos lol. good shit
Thanks so much!
hell yea bro she is looking right!
Nice vid man! Great to finally see all you have on the car!
Im loving the car
Very Nice bro 🤙
Sweet ride
Nice EP bro
Nice vid man, you just got another sub!
Love it! Blue is my favorite. I have a lot of similar mods but yours is way cleaner!
I miss my ep3! I sold it
Nice 👍 👍🔥🔥
7k in mods? I wouldve copped a k20a swap and have 3k left over.
Norlan Buno more of a suspension and momentum guy, not really into the power, have other faster cars
$7000 spent on car, lists all ebay special parts
JJL Wow
Tuned by Ebay 😂

Does the short throw really help that much with feel and could it wear out any shifter parts prematurely?
The cables move to the tranny the same amount, all it does is change the leverage of where the shifter is and pivot point. It goes into gear all the way
Not too shabby... but do you have 2 stage butterfly vtec 😉
Swap in a k24A2 and you can keep the ep3 5speed transmission .
Steevnb * the ep3 5 speed fits on just fine?
Yeah bro I did my research it just bolts on ! I seen it on ephatch . So you don't need a 6speed it would work with 5speed plus hondata reflash!
Steevnb * thats awesome! I'm going to look into prices for those motors!
Yup just make sure it comes out of the TSX because some come out of the accords and those have the same hp as the k20A3
Steevnb * yea, I had the choice to pick between the tsx and the ep3, so I test drove both, tsx manual, and It was fun! Just didn't handle that great bc it's a sedan, but I want the engine, what wiring harness do you use?
Terrible wheel refurb you painted over the curb rash 🤣😂
Car looks good tho 👍

you think some 17 x 9 + 35 offste would fit up front?
Bro i have a white ep3 and those exact same harnesses lmfao and i plan on starting my channel soon
Mecha Mark awesome bro!!! Do u also have a racing seat? Bc I know using harnesses on stock ep3 seats are very dangerous... but awesome I'll sub to you !
Redline Ricer stock seat but its a daily. Might track it once or twice. @darkfugginmarkhaaan is my insta if you wanna see it
hey mate, where you buy the mirros? so good car
ebay
SLOW 🐢🐌 my ep3 k24 swap with handata only spent 2500
Hey I've wanted to know what did you need for the k24 swap?
@@DavidTeleiosis hondata ecu, passenger side crv motor mount. and blox throttle body adapter, thats it i believe
Doing a K24a2 on mine, fortunately i bought mine with all suspension aftermarket
What did the re flash on the stock engine do? Increase power? Increase efficiency? Both? How does one go about performing the reflash?

Wow, i got my car for 2900 and it came with the same setup as you suspension wise.
Where did you get your mugen wing??
Aaron Tuvera off a local guy here! Theres some fake ones on ebay though! Also seibon makes one!
Does the rear Cusco bolt direct ?
Part # 332 541?
Thanks in advance
Yes
Where did you get this stuff
im not hating but 7k is too much for a stock ep3 even with the whole suspension setup
im buying a k20/k24 swapped ep3 for 5k and its mint.
This was like 3 years ago lol whej I was building it. I sold it right whej they were still worth a good amount. Nowadays ep3s are like 1-3 k where I live
@@RedlineRicer fair enough. Still so much fun for the money these little cars

Your rotors are backwards.
What’s the point in the oil catch can?
You're not running RE71R...
Anybody know where to get a roof rack made for this car to carry a cargo box?
I've got an 02 Si EP3 and have been considering an 04-06 WRX... Still not sure. What do you think?
love the wrx. what dont you like abt your ep3? if it's the looks, or the power or that its fwd, then go for the wrx.
