Olly heads down memory lane by watching back his original walk around video on his Honda Civic Type R from nearly 5 years ago. Comparing all of the differences from before as well as all the bits that have stuck around, this is a deep dive into all the things that have been modified on this EP3 Type R. The huge parts list that has been added includes brands like Mugen, Solid Fab, Skunk2, Carbon My Ride, Buddy Club, Fibreworx, Acuity, Spoon Sports, Seibon and more. The EP3 is an amazing hot hatch out of the box but with all of these modifications, Olly believes he has got a near on perfect fun daily driver that you can enjoy on the back roads.

The amount of money you have thrown into this car makes me feel sooooo much better about how much iv spent on mine and still counting 😂😂😂

[@OllyRoss]

Hahaha! Yeah, it has been quite a lot over the 7+ years of ownership!

[@hondamanvtec2894]

He probably used the money he makes on youtube And well. Spend money, too Make money 😂

[@OllyRoss]

@@hondamanvtec2894 I wish I was at the level that would make that possible. I earn hardly anything from KZbin...

[@blade8768]

​@hondamanvtec2894 I would disagree, Olly has spent a lot of his hard earned money into his car, and he probably makes a few 100 quid from youtube at the moment, this channel is pure passion for his car and video editing 😀

[@blade8768]

Should get an FN2 on the channel, review it, and see how they compare to the EP3, in your opinion. Would make a cool video 😊

[@OllyRoss]

That would be pretty interesting. An EP3 owners perspective on it

[@sidathwijeratne7168]

Happy to offer mine, but it’s completely stock bar a factory-fitted LSD

[@joshsd7767]

Great video, what a journey you've been on with it!

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, pretty crazy to see how far it’s really come!

[@omegapharaoh6978]

Ive recently went back, and re-watched all your type R content so this video couldn’t have come out a more proper time 😅

[@OllyRoss]

That is wild! A serious commitment with how many videos I have made on this car!

[@moved-on3yd]

5 years, hard to believe. I forgot to ask how long you had it for when I spoke to you on Facebook.

[@OllyRoss]

Crazy amount of time! I have had the car over 7 years now which is wild!

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

Meanwhile us across the pond got a super neutered EP3 😢😢😢

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, that is such a shame because it would have been way more successful if it wasn't so average in the US

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

@@OllyRoss We got an economy K20A3, No LSD, VTEC only on the intake side of the camshaft. Great on petrol but got slug power 😂

[@matthewmaconaughey1991]

What rims are on there now , what’s the specific size and tires?

[@OllyRoss]

These are Enkei RPF1's. I have 17X8 ET45 but I have a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the DC5 Brembos and a 3mm spacer in the rear to clear the rear trailing arm. The perfect EP3 spec is 17X8 ET35 but you will need to roll the rear arches. The tires are Michelin PS5's in 215/45/17 but I will probably go for a 225 next time

[@sonicbs2286]

Hello! Can i ask you what is the fuel consumption of the stock car? I want to buy an ep 3 too, i like them.🙂

[@OllyRoss]

It is around 32mpg which is similar to what my car gets now too

[@jacobmckevitt7750]

where do you buy those side pieces (that are in carbon) in your engine bay? sweet ep3!

[@OllyRoss]

You can get them from Fibreworx and I think they are £260 ish. Thanks man!

[@runescape4dude4noob]

where did u buy those carbon fiber things on the windows

[@runescape4dude4noob]

i just imported an ep3 type r from japan (:

[@OllyRoss]

I got them from Carbon My Ride. You can use my discount code “OLLYP3” for some money off too: carbonmyride.com/collections/civic-mk7-ep3

[@runescape4dude4noob]

@@OllyRoss nice thx i might get 2-3 things from em

[@mikeymann6813]

Very nice man. Do you think you could ever part with it? Also what do you think it's worth.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! I hope I never have to part with it as they just don't make cars like this nowadays. In this current climate in 2024 it is probably worth around £12k so it is definitely not worth me selling it.

[@shazadali8160]

They sell the oem steering wheel new

[@OllyRoss]

I feel like I should do something else though. I have had OEM for so long that maybe it would be a nice change

[@rbru3465]

Love the car, how have you dealt with any rust underneath? The sills on mine are quite bad so need to look into replacing them if I’m to keep it/deciding if it’s worthwhile (cost wise)

[@GLJ-hq2ii]

Have a look at his Motion Motorsport videos😂

[@rbru3465]

@@GLJ-hq2ii thank you for pointing me in the right direction, appreciate it

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! I have a full series on this on the channel (or one mega episode) that shows the entire underside restoration process on the car

[@ItsBuster]

140k not run in yet bro

[@ItsBuster]

surprised you don't have bonnet struts olly

[@OllyRoss]

Hahaha! Still factory fresh!

[@OllyRoss]

Too sketchy for carbon bonnets so would rather not snap the bonnet trying to close it! Haha
