5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY HONDA CIVIC EP2!!

[@TachySteve]

I have a USDM k20a2 6-speed swapped EP3. I love it! I completely agree that it has the turning radius of a shopping cart with no front wheels. I fixed the lack of of power by swapping it. This is an awesome car!

[@SamBakingTray]

when would america be able to import the type rs from over here? recently got my ep3 type r back on the road and i agree the turning circle is soooooo bad my caddy van has a better turning circle lol

[@kamilnowak623]

Pretty much everything has a better turning cirlce, unfortunately it didn't improve in VIII gen, I really wish it would be better. In Jazz mk II for example its great, so it is not "a Honda thing'; rather "a Civic thing". I wonder how it is in another generations of Civics.

[@teamimuscleuk38]

Bro your A/C is on because your setting is to blow at the windshield! Top knob on the top setting. Try to change it to blow at your legs or your face? Also being on “auto setting “ that puts the A/C on

[@elaxel1469]

the wool glove for the knob is hilarious

[@SickWill]

My mum knitted it for me haha

[@arturseversons3444]

as for #2 - get rid of the stickers, get rid of that extra bit on the spoiler, oh and you also don't have to straight-pipe it, that's certainly not, as you say, "the rule" 🤦🏻‍♂️ and finally - diffusers belong on the back of a racing car, not a 1.6 civic. So to sum up - you've riced it, and complain about people calling it a *rice rocket* 🙃

[@hisheeelijah1482]

Thank you you put my thoughts into words

[@timo80ssmedia24]

it’s peoples personal preference don’t really have a say as it isn’t your car 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ydap3790]

You can actually roll the driver's seat. Pull the little thing on the side and it slides forward

[@AaronGleeson]

I had to get my input shaft bearing fixed on mine. Decided it was better to just replace all of the bearings whilst I was at it. £650 it costed. Hoping it'll be sorted for life now.

[@edwinmenten676]

The worst thing on the civic ep's is the vague steering. The sticky steering wheel, doesnt center when coming out a turn.. Change the steering rack slider for a delrin slider, and regrease the steering rack. It will be a lot better afterwards... 😉

[@Itsbambam25]

The only part of your car that makes it rice is the diffuser you have mate! Im from ireland and i own one myself and mines is nowhere near rice, but we classify that diffuser/rear splitter a “rice” mod

[@deangriffiths9740]

Just got a 2005 plate type s 2 litre what can i do cheap and easy to get a bit more power 👍👍👍

[@jamesrichards5601]

I assume that's a 5 door model? To be fair the motor is already pretty good as it's part of the K-series engines, so you're best bet is to start with intake mods for better induction :)

[@krishanprasad20]

over in london anything thats aesthetic like the fake tow hook is considered RICE, function over form smh

[@theun-personing5674]

The seat slide might be only on the left because of getting out into moving traffic as annoying as it is.

[@Super-650]

You didn't mention the factory rattle when the windows are opened, the ridiculous screen washers (really Honda?? still??) the lack of intermittent wiper speeds and the 1960 style bonnet prop :) Enjoyed the vid. Oh, btw, the fan type screen washers off a Citroen C4 will fit and give your screen a proper blast!

[@redlineracing4947]

Following up on your comment. The Windows didn’t rattle from factory. When rebuilding & degreasing and re greasing the window mechanism it eliminates all rattling, even at high speeds, even over bumps, even at 80mph +. Also I swapped jazz washers onto mine & they were shit. No different to be honest & the original 4 jet streams grew on me.

[@Civicep2802]

What wheel spacers do you have?

[@cathymcevoy5208]

So a mugen does fit this model...?

[@Xiko.Navara4x4Adventures]

i totally agree with ya on the Rice cooker, but i would guess that its because of the angle of your spoiler, dont get me wrong i love the look of your car mate =)

[@w5kky]

Every thing I hate about his car it’s not a type r

[@TheLoveMovement83]

but looks like one

[@ukunboxings2242]

Glad mine is coming with a Type R spoiler and a M2 Cat Back Exhaust.

[@MINGxLIFE]

How Many km’s did the car have when u Sold it ?

[@haydensmall8826]

??? So it’s just mine that slips into neutral from 5th gear , And how the seat rocks back and forth because of the dodgy stock washers and how awkward it is to change any bulb on your driveway ?

[@ligmaballs_69420]

Is this the same thing as the type s?

[@BozoMedia]

surely it has vtec!

[@rockshox6868]

It does

[@jerrycolombo]

vtec is written on the engine cover

[@OHVisuals]

Can someone clarify if straight pipes are legal in the UK ?

[@MrCHRISSHIELDS]

Nice vid So true Just got a 2003 type s .The hand brake is slack and front disc's thin ,Need to get use to turning circle, Look for wishbone model not strut's as mine is a little better turn.

[@leemurphy5253]

Would the insurance be really expensive for a first time driver?

[@bradleyjohnston2910]

I got mine when I was 19 for 1650

[@leemurphy5253]

@@bradleyjohnston2910 that's actually not bad, thanks

[@kris985]

With a black box the insurance for an ep2 is only like £1100-£1600 a year

[@slamm-zb6lz]

If u wanted more umff then why wouldn't you get the real one bro?

[@carolinesinclair7700]

Nothing really to complain about

[@dragod7233]

turning circle is terrible, i had bmw before and it had smaller turning circle for allmost a metar and it was some 40 cm longer

[@Tucnak2o0]
