Awesome video mate. I got a 2004 ep3, all standard as thats the best, only 92k on the clock been in the family from new. Was given to me by my dad for free, Never gonna get rid of it what a car.
I had a civic vti back in the day, had a Vauxhall nova and Ford escort before that. Needless to say I caught the vtec bug! Was flooring it one day and a ep3 came past me with ease and I then knew what my next car was.
Great video and yes to the stickers. If your a Spoon enthusiast then i dont see why not. Will still maintain the clean look as the colour of the stickers suit the theme of the car
I don't like stickers. But that's my opinion. I am also thinking of installing an intake manifold. What advantages does skunk2 ultra have over rbc ported? 🤔
Thats fair enough. I guess I'm the same, hence why there aren't any other stickers on the car. There probably won't be too much difference. I got the the Skunk2 Ultra in black because it looks sick but it also gets the best hp per £ in the Tegiwa test: www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/?p=2443
Great video! rate the shoe collection only have 1 pair of dunks myself from 2003 as I'm more of an air max guy (probably got around 20 pairs of GRs and a couple raffle wins etc) but definitely need a couple more dunks.
Thanks man! Oh nice, from right when SB began (again)! I only have SB/Air max crossovers or collabs. I have all three colour ways of the Eric Koston 1/Airmax 90 shoe "Koston Heritage"too. Even the Dunk GR's are raffle shoes at the moment! It is crazy!
Alright matey, i’ve recently gone from an ep3 to an s2000, id be happy to let you have a go in it. Probably give you a good idea on them and costs etc as the kind of mods you do, i do as well, nice subtle exterior/engine bay mods, and bargain bolt on mods, would always stay Na
You could pick up a prelude for a reasonable price and go down the boosted route, not a lot of UA-cam content on them Or maybe even go down the German road and get yourself an old 190e or 90s c class or a 3/5 series
I think I am looking for something different to the EP3 for the next car. Some sort of "sports car", which is why I'm thinking of the MX5. I have always wanted one too. The german cars aren't too appealing to me at the moment. These are all valid recommendations though! Appreciate it!
@@OllyRoss MX5 has been done by car throttle and Jesse Collingham, although they have alot of tuning potential I dunno it just feels boring compared to the ep3 (only my opinion) Keep looking, what about an IS200/250 beautiful car, practical, can get luxury interior, loved by many....potential is there to help grow the channel
Haha! They are cool but that engine maintenance doesn't sound fun! Too used to reliable Honda engines! Plus, if I was to turbo or supercharge, that makes it even more unreliable! Haha
Thanks man! I really appreciate the support. I would love to create more content but I just don't have the money to make videos on the Civic every week. Especially now as the car is almost finished. What would you want to see from me Twitch?
@@OllyRoss not financial advice but get a thurst master wheel pedals handbrake gearbox and go sim racing. Forza Motorsport or asseto are my favourite, the amount of hours I have with my EP3 at the Nürburgring on Forza Motorsport online xD...Also twitch helps build you a steady community if you do it fairly regularly, 2 times a week maybe, taking the same time of the same weekdays.
i will be selling my k24 ep3 type r to buy a lexus is-f. i will also sell my gs450h so i can daily/track the is-f. as you live in uk an 135i /m would be a great option.
MR2 is a great idea, you can get twin turbo or if you want to stay n/a go for the 2.0 gt 16v I had the 2.0 gt and it was hella nice the i interior is a wonderful place to be Rust is a big problem to look out for on the sills and the the inner rear arches
Weird, watching this video, and I spoke to these guys today regarding mapping and installing inlet manifold amongst other things and a remap... And that's exactly why I haven't installed my inlet 😁
Fair play. I feel like a turbo or supercharged build next would be cool. It would also be something different to the Civic. Got to experience it all really! Haha
I know but I just don't have the money at the moment. I could do an entire MX5 build for the price of a standard S2000. If I grow the channel with MX5 content, I may be able to afford the S2000 afterwards.
@@OllyRoss that is a very good idea, I'm trying to grow a channel on the Honda EP2 so hehe not a K engine, but that is 10 million times harder to grow than having a Corsa for example, so, although I hate the Miata Olly, it's a very smart play dude and I support that 😁
Thanks man! I understand your struggles. Its a sick little car! Why do you hate them?? I just have to think realistically so I think its a clever move!
@@OllyRoss It's because I'm a Honda fanboy isn't it 😅. Too common for me, S2000 is the way to go buuuuuut in order to grow, you have to appeal to the wider audience so you're doing an extremely smart play!
@@OllyRoss not atall ek4 is a totally different car different suspension b seriers engine and can do a lot more with them because Japan has more to offer for them than what they do ep models. Plus it would be mega cool to have both models in your collection/fleet You could make one a road car and one a track car with a nice kanjo livery on it
Ep3 is one of the funnest cars out there maybe not the fastest but its so addictive and plus it still looks amazing for its age. Great video. 💯
Great video bro! Good to hear you’re looking to keep this in the long run👌 also I think put on the spoon sticker, it’ll look good
Thanks man. Yeah, its just too good to get rid of. It's looking pretty mixed for the stickers at the moment. I still can't decide! Haha
Awesome video mate. I got a 2004 ep3, all standard as thats the best, only 92k on the clock been in the family from new. Was given to me by my dad for free, Never gonna get rid of it what a car.
Thanks man! Trust me, although the standard car is great, with a few of the right modifications, it takes the car to another level!!
I had a civic vti back in the day, had a Vauxhall nova and Ford escort before that. Needless to say I caught the vtec bug! Was flooring it one day and a ep3 came past me with ease and I then knew what my next car was.
Haha! Pretty simple for you then! That bug never lets go does it? Haha
Great video and yes to the stickers. If your a Spoon enthusiast then i dont see why not. Will still maintain the clean look as the colour of the stickers suit the theme of the car
You should buy an S2k ! It would be a great addition for the channel !
I know! I would absolutely love one but I don't know if I can afford one at the moment!
Can’t wait to get one of these I had a corsa vxr Nurburgring loved it how it sounded but love the type r more and hitting that Rev limiter mint
It is a great car! You won’t regret it!
Awesome looking ep3 type R one of my favorite civic model lineup.
Thanks man. I am glad you like it. Yeah, it’s definitely up there for me too
@@OllyRoss no problem bro

Great content as usual 👌🏾
Define interested in the cost breakdown video when that gets released.
Thanks man!
Ok cool, its good to know that it has some interest!

Maybe an RX-8 for the next build? Definitely affordable to buy and all the money you save can be spent on engine rebuilds lol

Subbed mate ..any ep3 fanatic Is a friend of mine ..🤙🤙
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Great videos 👍
Just wondering where did you get the Mugen front grill from? I got few really rubbish ones not worth putting on 😂
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking them out!
I got mine from HZ Dynamics a few years back.
Great video once again!
Thanks again! Glad you are liking the content!
You can look into getting a dc5 type R maybe
I think that is too similar to the EP3 really... they are sick though!
I suggest you try and pump your vids and or get on twitch or some to enable you buying that s2000. I would support you!

I've only now found your channel after watching old Carricarus videos from 2012... "Caddy's a girly girly girl." My you've grown up ^^
Nearly 10 years ago now! Haha! Crazy how things change isn’t it?
@@OllyRoss Certainly is. Glad to see you're still doing well. Do you still talk to James?
I certainly do! I speak to him all the time! We have a Mario Kart battle tomorrow evening!
@@OllyRoss Great! Glad your friendship still stands.

Stickers must go on the door ! Do it nothing to loose
Personally i wouldn't put the sticker on the ep3
Maybe with a crazier design or if it already had stickers. I see what you are saying
MR2 would be a cool build and if you are ok doing a bit of metalwork then you can get one really cheap
Yeah, that's not a bad shout. I shall have a look into them
@@OllyRoss happy days 😁
MR2 is a great idea, you can get twin turbo or if you want to stay n/a go for the 2.0 gt 16v
I had the 2.0 gt and it was hella nice the i interior is a wonderful place to be
Rust is a big problem to look out for on the sills and the the inner rear arches
@@ahmedjabbar7467 yea I have my own mr2 and well it’s a bit... crusty😂😂
@@padraigrab08 🤣 the old girl might out live us all
Been looking to replace my astra vxr for once if these for the last 6months but it's hard to find a good condition one 😭😭
It took me about 6 months to find my one in 2016! It will pop up soon!
@ben dover whats your budget? One on autotrader atm for 9900 35k miles
What headunit is that you have?
I have a full video on it on my channel 👀👀👀
I personally own an fn2, should I sell it and get an ep3?
I think it depends on what you are using the car for? I am going to say that the EP3 is better but thats because I own one! Haha!
Can I ask for a link for thw red recaro pillow tyoe thing on the top section of your passenger seat?
I actually got them from a stall at Japfest a couple of years ago so I don’t know where they are from. (I have the drivers one in the boot! Haha)
Nice video mate, I just sold me ep3 :(
Thanks man. Sad times man. I hope it was for something worthwhile?
Don’t do the stickers it’ll look awful
Fair enough. It would probably work if I had more stickers or a crazier looking car.
get in touch bro, lets speak about mapping :)
👀👀👀 I have sent you a message on Instagram
Weird, watching this video, and I spoke to these guys today regarding mapping and installing inlet manifold amongst other things and a remap... And that's exactly why I haven't installed my inlet 😁
@@jelly12903 Hey Jelly
this guy is turning into cars with jb (if he gets an mx5)
Is this a compliment?? Haha
@@OllyRoss yes!
@@jamesbaker8894 ok nice!! I will take that then! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 haha!
sickkkk vid
My guy!!
What about a 350z?
Not a bad idea. I need to look at some prices for them to see if it is affordable
@@OllyRoss I'm saving for one myself at the moment. Cheaper than a s2000 and still keep the N/A feel
Fair play. I feel like a turbo or supercharged build next would be cool. It would also be something different to the Civic. Got to experience it all really! Haha
I'd say no on the stickers mate. Doesn't really fit with the "clean" look of the car. Plus everyone will just think they are 99p ebay copies anyway! 😂
That is why I have been so on the fence! Haha, so true! The fakes are everywhere!
Don't stick any stickers on it buddy....
Get a Toyota MR2. So many mx5s on UA-cam right now and the MR2 is just as cheap to mod, and it's mid engined!
That is a fair point. That is why I haven't got one already. I shall look into the MR2
@@OllyRoss do it! also, the FB owners group is awesome. Much much much better than the EP3 group where all you get is a bunch of unhelpful responses.
Would you recommend this car to a seventeen year old
Unless you have deep pockets, I wouldn’t bother! Insurance is crazy for young drivers with this car!
S2000, they're so much cheaper in the UK than other places
I know but I just don't have the money at the moment. I could do an entire MX5 build for the price of a standard S2000. If I grow the channel with MX5 content, I may be able to afford the S2000 afterwards.

Ek4 for next channel car
Would be cool but do you not think it is too similar to the EP3 content?
@@OllyRoss not atall ek4 is a totally different car different suspension b seriers engine and can do a lot more with them because Japan has more to offer for them than what they do ep models.

What?! You're over 28?!
Not yet. 27 in a couple of months
