Bruh you’re still breaking in. I’m at 250,000 miles and I just replaced stock clutch and suspension. I live on a dirt road and this car is a tank, everything works. Once you get to high miles just spend the $5k to drop a new engine in plus other parts (as they break) and you get a “new” car for super cheep every half million miles. This car is so fun to drive it’s worth it to keep it alive.
I'm the original owner of an 05. I have been beating the crap out of mine for 16 years, and am still not done with it. 176,000 miles, stage 2 exedy clutch, chromolly flywheel, DC intake, magnaflow hiflow cat, partially modified catback, cheap racing springs(haven't purchased those coilovers i want yet), Tanabe strut braces, eBay short throw shift kit, a bunch of carbon fiber bs, a few alignments, a whole bunch of tires....but it has been a reliable platform for over a decade and a half, and I only kinda want to get rid of it. There's just so many possibilities with swaps because it was k powered.
I have a 03 si civic and I am planning on changing the whole suspension. Does that change they way this car is driven completely or there isn't much difference?
i got an ep3 last year after driving a corolla for most of my driving life and i have to say the ep3 has made my everyday drive a blast. I look forward to getting to drive this car everyday.
haha i have a 98 corolla currently, thinking of upgrading to an ep3. Not sure if I should buy the SI next year or save up a bit longer for the typeR. What one do you have?
@@Carlos-rw7ny haha i have a 98 corolla and i just got an ep3 si with 260k miles.way more reliable than the corolla and im not use to the power it has yet.the shitbox corolla was burning a gallon of oil a week at 200k miles
MotoIQ has a great video on how to fix all of the suspension geometry and steering rack issues with the EP3 for relatively cheap and no custom fabrication. That's a big deal for EP3 owners.
you chose wisely. I have a black 05' with 108k I got for $2000 and its a dream come true. So much fun to drive. Don't have to worry about car thieves at all with the rally shifter. The whole speed thing is like lowering your ride. Its cool having a 0-60 in 5 seconds until you get a ticket cuz speed limits are 45 city 55 highway and you've hit 70 in 3rd gear.....or you lower your ride and tear off your front bumber trying to pull out of your driveway. this car is the best of both worlds. enough zip to pass up a semi and quiet enough inside to enjoy your music. this car is a steal and I don't see them on the road which makes me feel even more spiffy. It will run for 250,000 miles with ease if I want to drive it that long. Very happy with mine. nice vid.
Ep3 life! I've got an 03 that I've had for 3 years now. It's so dope take out the rear seat cushion and the backseats go flat. I've moved twice with this car and it can hold more boxes w the seats down than my old Tacoma. I'm about to build a sleeping platform for the back of the ep3 so my wife and I can use it like a mini camper.
I recently bought a 02 EP3 with 112k miles for $2.7k it came with a AEM CAI which I didn't need, but it made it sounds great. I learned how to drive stick with this car and took it wherever I go. I once took it from LA to SF and no problems. I also went to a car meet and its great to see that I was the only EP3 there to appreciate. I only have this car for a year now. My EP3 is going to be one of the best cars I ever owned (besides my 92 Acura Legend) I got thumbs up from another EP3 driver as well as a 05 Mustang GT a few weeks ago (they actually just like the anime/weeb stickers I have been putting on it), so this video made my day. Another thing I hear about these EP3s is that the UK folks loves these cars. Yeah, the engine is not "true vtec" from our UK counterparts, but once you drive it you will not be disappointed. It's i-VTEC for crikes sake. Thanks! This made me believe there's hope for these cars and believe that the EP3 community still exists.
Thank you for the great comment! Yeah its a rough world out there for Honda people, let alone Ep3 drivers. Just gotta own what you got, and what you got is an awesome driving car that many people will look past. Its sad but makes the EP more special. Ive gotten thumbs up from alot of people, mostly in JAPANESE cars but its still cool to see others appreciating this car
I have had my EP3 since 2010 (black 02’), its a FANTASTIC car!! they aren’t really rare out here in so-cal but they are usually stock. I have a K24A swap waiting for her maybe next year to get some more performance out of it. but all around great car!
I bought my 03 ep3 because they had said honda will stop making hatchbacks at that time but truly this car has been one of the most reliable cars i have ever had. 350,000 mls and still going if when the engine stops Thinking of swapping a typeR into it.
I don't know much about the technical details of cars in general, but I do love my 03 silver 2-door minivan si ;) I bought it brand new and I have almost original 185k miles so far. And I think the shifter is a lot of fun! Thanks for posting this video!
Picked up an EP3 a couple of months ago for $900, needs some TLC but I got it going as a daily, excited for the plans I have for it. Do what you love and be different just like the EP3
Really good plan. The k20a3 in my opinion isnt as bad as they say, but obviously the k20a2 is just way better. Lowering the EP3 is by far one of the biggest improvements you can do for the car in terms of looks!
Currently, h&r springs with truhart shocks, full Polly urethane bushings, recently I replaced oem motor mounts accompanied with polyurethane inserts. The ride is greatly improved with no rub at all on the stock wheels and tire size. Occasionally I'll scrape but I found that it's only on my mud flaps so no damage.
mine came with lowering springs an i also have the limited edition HFP wheels on it honestly i don't plan on selling it at all especially that i learned stick on this car trust me one day they are gonna be worth a lot.
I don't know about you, but I kinda wish they would release the EPs in the US and Canada as the LX and EX trims along with the sedans and coupes instead of just selling it with just the 3-door version of the Si, otherwise would've made it better.
Just 6 months ago I got a White 03 EP3 150k miles for $3.6 and it came with coilovers, type r wing, HFP lip kit, Rays CV-Pro wheels and Apex catback. Engine is fully stock, even the intake.
Bought my 02 in 2008 with 42k on it for 10 grand. Now it has 210k on it (factory clutch still!) and my 16 year old is about to take it over. Looking for another one with lower miles. Best car I've ever owned!
I’m doing payments on a 2003 si and the parts are a little hard to find where I’m from and especially the bumper. It needs the front bumper, passenger fender and headlights but I already got the fender but the bumper is hard to find
My only complaint about ep3’s is the price of parts. You can upgrade ef,eg or even ek so much cheaper because all the parts are dirt cheap. Hopefully another 5 years or so our parts prices start going down.
I just picked one up after a coworker raved mad about it. Got it for 2600cad 150km on the body. Engine was swapped at some point. Tons of mods. My first Honda, not gonna lie I’m excited to take delivery tomorrow
just bought one with 62k in florida with no rust a couple months back its been a bit of work to get it tight new struts and springs tie rods ball joints brake rotors A/C but man it is a fun car and the engine is honestly fine stock i drive it 80 miles round trip and it does the job great. only thing im gonna look into is probably a midpipe and just sound deadening for my commute but i love the car.
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.
Bought mine for a 1000 bucks had a broken sterring rack found a brand new one for 80 bucks now i have a brand new car ep3lyfe now ive spent over 2000 in parts ive never been more happy with a honda
I have a si R ep3 (I’m in Canada) it’s awesome I need to replace my driver door but it rips with its k20a2 i got surprised and everybody smiled while I take them for a spin!!
Just hit 220k on my blue 03 SiR, it is 100% stock exept the mugen wing i installed on it since i always hated the stock one that is sooooo small lol. I only take it out when its warm and dry outside during summer months. Those models are getting harder to find here in Canada.
I have one but it's pretty rough I'm in the process of fixing it got a lot done needs control arms now o2 sensor and front wheel bering and maybe a cat and it has a lot of dents in the quarter panels but it's coming along
I’ve had my black ‘04 for about 5 years now with 196000 miles and I’ve just recently learned its called the ep3. Its like I’ve unlocked a secret world where I can finally find videos about my car without having to sift through every other si that comes up when you search “Honda civic si 2004”. A friend told me I should put a turbo in mine but as far as I know all of it is stock so I think I’m gonna work on suspension and tires/brakes first. Any suggestions for what to get for my ep3? Specific brands that is. I’m not looking to drag, just have more fun driving. Maybe I’d take it to a track down the road but I’m not trying to gut it or anything lol
Dc Racing, Tanabe, Skunk 2 (Dont get the headers), Tein, AEM, Injen, etc. All great brands! I lowered my car about 2-3 inches, its not slammed by any means and drives like a dream with stickier tires. Best handling car Ive owned. Defiantly get hondata ecu tune. I am keeping my NA, since I like the reliability over a boosted set up
I have a 02 Honda Civic Si EP3. I have A straight pipe exhaust to huge mufflers so it’s a little bit louder than stock, HAI from AEM. Bought Headers for it 4-2-1. Then I am going to get a reflash if I still have the car by then.
Wow great find, less than 75K doesn't even hit the extended warranty mark and for $3200! Mine is at 152K and have only replaced the ac compressor and condenser, and some door lactuators.
would make me so nervous i got mine and immediately did fluids and even valve adjustment maybe im crazy on the second part but the first is cheap peace of mind.
I have owned a prelude and I love that car definitely super smooth. But now I own an 04, Ep3 it is peppy fun little ride... definitely not that fast but peppy
Why you end up getting rid of it? I currently own a prelude and struggling with electrical problems. Honestly am considering getting this car as a replacement.
I am a European and also drive a seventh Gen Civic (EP1) and I think this car doesn't look small at all. It's the perfect size. We have far smaller cars over here! xD
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.
I just got an 02 with 130k for 3k. Intake headers and exhaust came on it. Im re-doing the suspension this weekend ( i hope) and lowering it a little, nothing crazy. I love this car though. I really think in 10-15 years these cars will be very collectible since there just arent that many around. On a side note if you dont want your stock air box after you add an intake hit me up! =)
Guys i recently came up on an ad for a 2003 honda civic si hatchback ... the car is in super mint condition only 115000 driven and it looks amazing overall.. the owner is asking for 5900 bucks.. is that a fair price? I really dont want to let that car slip away
Honda civic si for life 320.000 miles and still pushing her name is nellie and for a daily driver she has never one time left us on the roadside. As we have many cars we still drive her every day. She is quick and she is a part of our family. I love what your doing but I gotta ask you to please stop saying God #%@n ..... So I can keep watching. Your a great guy but please stop cursing the Lord.
Got my 05 in black with 180k garage kept in Florida. Got auctioned off to a guy in Massachusetts (where I live) and I bought it off him before he even touched it for 3,500
Mean Peak what parts do you have ? I randomly came across this video, havent got the chance to watch others. Maybe we can get a run in but mine isnt stock lol
Jxvierrr Right now its got DC race headers, tanabe midpipe and a spec D muffler. Upgraded brakes, suspension. Doing intake and tune in the next few weeks. Power is currently up from stock as is right now. Once tuned be interesting to see how it keeps up
Jxvierrr Short ram sadly (i daily it, dont want my engine to flood) still should be making 170 whp. Oh i can see that, the ep3 has a good amount of torque at 3k but once your vtec kicks in its over haha
Not gonna lie I had one that was white and in the light it had like pink stripes down it but I wrecked it and I was just chilling with my gf and I started thinking about my car so I left her and watched videos about the civic SI I miss my baby do much😭😭😭😭
i got an 02 took about a yr to find a decent one / yeah its a k20a3 but remember the em1 had 160 hp we have that plus a bump in tq love this car get them now before they become collectibles
The shifter is the best thing about this car. Hard for people who haven't driven it to understand.
Yes its just perfect
So you can grab the steering wheel faster while hitting hyperspace 😎
Man every time I drive someone else's car now I just grab the air because I'm so used to the shifter being high up
The position is cool but the feel is weird
@@woapaggin6803 for me it's the opposite lol
This car is so underrated. But so worth it. The connection between you and the car is something else.

a tip: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Gary Leonel Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
Or rebuild

I love this generation of the Si.
I still have my EP3 that i bought 16 years ago. 146k 02
I have an 02. Lol swapped a k24 accord motor in it with a turbo.
I still have my 2003... getting it painted. This car kicks a$$$$$$$
I have 170K on it now. Still runs strong. Might do a K24 swap with a6spd and LSD.

Totally agree. The more Ive owned this car the more Ive cone to appreciate it. Thank you for the comment and insight!
I have an opportunity to own one of these on a trade for my four door gsr...should i?
Ep3 gang
2000 DOLLARS ?!?!!!
You seem like a pretty chill dude researching this and watching your vid def makes me strongly consider it
I finally picked up an ep3. It’s 100% stock. I’m very happy with it.

Preeeeeeluuuuuude 💯👑
i own an ep3 si too :) saving up for k tune coilovers after im done with the suspension ill swap the engine to a k20a2 but for now daily it.
Really good plan. The k20a3 in my opinion isnt as bad as they say, but obviously the k20a2 is just way better. Lowering the EP3 is by far one of the biggest improvements you can do for the car in terms of looks!
what mods have you done to your ep3
Currently, h&r springs with truhart shocks, full Polly urethane bushings, recently I replaced oem motor mounts accompanied with polyurethane inserts. The ride is greatly improved with no rub at all on the stock wheels and tire size. Occasionally I'll scrape but I found that it's only on my mud flaps so no damage.

Pierceton Mazell I have some k sport lowering spring buy my car jumps too much it gets annoying , any recomendaciones?
"Embrace the egg culture"!
The way you explained the shifter, is super accurate😂😂😂🤙
Thinking about buying an older civic just wondering if anyone who read this can tell me what year to get.looking for hatchback that runs for ever.
I liked this car when it first came out. I was hurt when the Type R version won’t come out in the US. Only other country’s
Just hit 200k miles on my 2002,,I had to replace clutchh kit at 140k,,but it's fun to drive and cheap to maintain
I still daily my 02 ep3 and now has 263k origional miles.
Nice
I don't know about you, but I kinda wish they would release the EPs in the US and Canada as the LX and EX trims along with the sedans and coupes instead of just selling it with just the 3-door version of the Si, otherwise would've made it better.
Just 6 months ago I got a White 03 EP3 150k miles for $3.6 and it came with coilovers, type r wing, HFP lip kit, Rays CV-Pro wheels and Apex catback. Engine is fully stock, even the intake.
Nice! Looks nice and will run great for atleast 100k miles more. The k20a3 is a tank
I had a 02 white ep3 loved it so much fun to drive 👍

That shifter like placement is actually good asf it's just boom there type shit
Will a type s k20 plug and play with this ?

just bought one with 62k in florida with no rust a couple months back its been a bit of work to get it tight
new struts and springs
tie rods
ball joints
brake rotors
A/C
but man it is a fun car and the engine is honestly fine stock i drive it 80 miles round trip and it does the job great.
only thing im gonna look into is probably a midpipe and just sound deadening for my commute but i love the car.
Mines was Identical to yours same year and color. Bone stock, I topped out at 145mph.
I have a prelude, it has a number of electrical problems and I might end up selling it for an ep3 😫

How can you buy a used car without immediately chanding oil and fluids?
would make me so nervous i got mine and immediately did fluids and even valve adjustment maybe im crazy on the second part but the first is cheap peace of mind.

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.
EP3 Owner here 138k miles with a k24a
I just got an 02 with 130k for 3k. Intake headers and exhaust came on it. Im re-doing the suspension this weekend ( i hope) and lowering it a little, nothing crazy. I love this car though. I really think in 10-15 years these cars will be very collectible since there just arent that many around. On a side note if you dont want your stock air box after you add an intake hit me up! =)
I drive a b6 a4 v6 now and I’m looking at an ep3 😂
Guys i recently came up on an ad for a 2003 honda civic si hatchback ... the car is in super mint condition only 115000 driven and it looks amazing overall.. the owner is asking for 5900 bucks.. is that a fair price? I really dont want to let that car slip away
idk if you ended up doing it, but i would have pulled the trigger on it. sometimes they’re hard to find man, i’m looking for one now.
Honda civic si for life 320.000 miles and still pushing her name is nellie and for a daily driver she has never one time left us on the roadside. As we have many cars we still drive her every day. She is quick and she is a part of our family. I love what your doing but I gotta ask you to please stop saying God #%@n ..... So I can keep watching. Your a great guy but please stop cursing the Lord.
Got my 05 in black with 180k garage kept in Florida. Got auctioned off to a guy in Massachusetts (where I live) and I bought it off him before he even touched it for 3,500
No rust? Lucky af cause Hondas and rust go hand and hand :c
My dream honda. That and a ap1.
Get coilovers bro and a type r or Mugen replica wing 👍🏻 I love my ep3 too.
I love my EP3
I see your from CT right ?
My brother has an Ep3 so much fun compared to my fg2. Just slower but still enjoyable
Yep from CT. Yeah the EP3 isnt even that bad imo. Tuning it in July which should make it comparable to a stock FG2
Mean Peak what parts do you have ? I randomly came across this video, havent got the chance to watch others. Maybe we can get a run in but mine isnt stock lol
Jxvierrr Right now its got DC race headers, tanabe midpipe and a spec D muffler. Upgraded brakes, suspension. Doing intake and tune in the next few weeks. Power is currently up from stock as is right now. Once tuned be interesting to see how it keeps up
Mean Peak cold air or short ram ? Should be a good run 🙂 considering my brothers car pulls ahead for a few seconds then mine just pulls off
Jxvierrr Short ram sadly (i daily it, dont want my engine to flood) still should be making 170 whp. Oh i can see that, the ep3 has a good amount of torque at 3k but once your vtec kicks in its over haha
Not gonna lie I had one that was white and in the light it had like pink stripes down it but I wrecked it and I was just chilling with my gf and I started thinking about my car so I left her and watched videos about the civic SI I miss my baby do much😭😭😭😭
Hell yeah i own a ep3 k20a im tryna supercharge
Got bummed ☹️ in the UK 🇬🇧 the ep3 type r only came with the k20a2
USA kinda got scammed with the ep3

Super affordable I just got me a remanded OEM alternator for 600$ lol
