Not watched the video yet but I can guarantee he says says the car is either ‘chuckable’ or ‘on rails’

[@mugenrr8202]

I only watch the Honda content 🤭🤣

[@twiggti3331]

MUGEN RR same

[@danwright7389]

The front bumpers are the same as on UKDM cars as they are all built in the UK, hence the UK badge fitted to the JDM cars

[@tomahawkmedia2546]

*Correction: engine was made in Japan, car was made in the UK, Swindon, Honda factory.

Is a jdm dude...

I make sure to watch all your Honda vids. There are few on youtube that capture Vtec cracking as well as you do.

[@Ironclad_hobbies]

I had one of these back in 2005. Had it a month before fitting a jrsc kit and K-pro amongst other mods. Was a very rare car back then. Sold it and bought a dc5 but always preferred the jdm civic. I’d still buy one now.

[@Crazzycarguy]

The mirrors are spoon blue glass not a standard part ☺

[@ACplanet]

expensivo!

[@Andrew_DC5]

Going from owning a uk ep3 to a dc5 you can tell just how good these cars are with an LSD! So much fun to drive.

[@MannyDelReal]

U still have one?

[@elliotpriddice6701]

My brother owned this before the new owner took it away had it from standard. Small details he missed. The H badges are diffrent as the original 1s were getting very worn out. the fly eye was on due to the headlights having slight colour pigmintation in 1. And the fly eye covered that as the jdm hid headlights were a nightmare to get hold off. The exhaust was custom made to go under the rear beam to get more angle. Only 1 iv seen with that set up. The fogs had the oil slik tint on them, as one of the fogs were cracked and then replaced with the non tinted 1s.the carbon centre consale was factory fitted with the jdms. And he should have shown under the bonnet as was very clean with carbon tegiwa induction and colour coded earth kit and was just very clean inside and out. Hes chuffed to see the car still on the road and still looking so well. Looks like the only changes that have been done is the wheels. Really smart moter

[@elliottjoseph470]

Man I really loved the enthusiasm of your review! And I love this car my god I must own one

[@ironeyes82]

Elliott Joseph Great car, I had a lot of hot hatches.. This is my favourite by far 👍

[@ITSAKKIS]

Where was the road with the gravel pal? Good video jack spent well!

[@andyyube]

Such a great lawnmower

[@quattropower34]

Well done, you did the car justice. I once heard of a Honda employee, building the car, buying it, then waiting for it to go to Japan and then come back for him to SVA and put on the road here, he waited months to drive it. Sounds like it was worth it.

[@dksam07]

I know the owner of this. It's a bloody nice car and he's had a few problems with it making it unroad worthy but it's now a beast and I see why he couldn't life without it. Nicely done Jack

[@hammond9866]

Haven't watched your content for a while but the reviewing cars is definitely a step forward.. or backwards but in a good way

[@hydrolics5449]

Damn that is seriously clean!

[@jaketaylor5470]

What these jdm ep3 like for tall drivers 6ft5 any issues?

[@woody555kl]

Perfect colour combination just a beautiful looking car

[@Frank-ro5bp]

Anyone know the details of the aftermarket wheels on the car? Love that you can use the H center caps.

[@EveMidnight]

I got a EP3 CTR myself, just bought the same spolier but it didnt come with a third brake light. Any recommendations on which one to buy or a website to buy it at? By the looks of it, the one on the video hasnt got the thrid brake light installed either. Thank you in advance.

[@rays7177]

How are those recaro seats for larger guys? 6'4" 120kg, cars not hard to find in Australia and reasonable prices

[@GMA2023]

Oooo man loved this so much. I am from Canada and i own an 02 type r white on white exactly what you just drove. That was sooo good. 🤯🤗😁🧙‍♂️

I had a UKDM ep3 at 230bhp and after 1.5 years of my Focus Rs Mk3 I still cant get used to it running out of puff before 6k rpm 😆

[@oz88og40]

Gotta love the sound of V-tec

[@Reeneybub]

Lovely jubbly!

[@brunomanco7529]

I own one just for track days, and it has many flaws. Front suspension geometry sucks. Caster bushings and roll center adjuster are mandatory at front. And 235/40r17 and shorter final drive (i have 5.33) and a LSD are pretty much mandatory as well With this u will have a great sports car, no turbo but very fun to drive

[@Saltermedia]

Dnt know why people hate on FN2 type r I love mine but each to their own good vid man👍

[@chappy2121]

I took out an fn2 at the same time as an ep3 premier edition. I bought the ep3. So much more communicative and just more involving wish I never sold it. But haven't had a car for 6 years. Few fast bikes since and a chaser jzx100 on the way

[@Saltermedia]

@@chappy2121 that's fair enough I used to have a ep3 years ago and while they prob are a bit better to drive I'm not realistically ragging the shit out my car all the time plus have kids and do alot of motorway so just nice to have the engine but a few extra luxuries as well. I agree for pure driving the ep3 is better but I find the FN2 to be more useful allround👍

[@madvauxjohn9294]

I really like these ep's but just cant seem to be able drive one big let down on honda the should of done reach adjustment on the steering wheel get seat perfect wheel to far away

[@TunedVXR]

Never owned one 🤷‍♂️ but I do love them,I have been toying with selling my vxr and buying one

[@TunedVXR]

@Motor City Cobra nice man, must be decent if you kept it for 10 years 👌 yea the vxr are only good for rolling starts and straight lines lol and not very comfortable to sit in imo, but I do love them. I nearly brought a type r going back a few years, but it wasnt very tidy.

[@trollhuntersuk5168]

I had a vxr mapped to 280 bhp was a great car, remus exhaust too sounded amazin 👌

[@gumpy4960]

Fat Splat also if you have ever watched best motoring the ep3 have proven to faster than the dc5 on a number of occasions. I also don’t get into the whole ek9 is the best because it really isn’t.

[@automotivediversity554]

The mirrors are from the jdm Honda access catalogue along with the carbon effect stereo surround and iridium lower foglights. I know the owner of this car and since his ownership he’s really pampered it. Also engines are not shipped from UK to japan! All cars were built here in UK with only jdm engines shipped then fitted before shipped back to japan. Please do your homework before reviewing a car 😂

I'd say FD2 is the best CTR - last N/A rocket

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

Brilliant video Jamie and yep it’s probably close to the ultimate civic type R. I almost brought a genuine JDM ep3 some years back and wish I did, amazing how a few small little things equate to so much and OMFG I’m the same pre face lifted cars look soooooooooooooooooooooooo much better and yep for all the same reasons you said :-)

The dc2/5 might have something to say but no doubt they're great cars 👌

[@BIAWolf]

@@gumpy4960 but the integra has a massively superior chassis

[@gumpy4960]

BIAWolf when driven by professional drivers both cars are nearly identical in terms of lap times, so clearly it doesn’t

[@BIAWolf]

@@gumpy4960 your one KZbin video your referring too unfortunately doesn't make many multiple years of motorsport history redundant sorry, the DC5 historically has always been quicker, as the dc2 also.

[@gumpy4960]

BIAWolf I’m not referring to one video, there are a good few, the dc2 was never faster than either the dc5 nor the ep3, and the dc5 and ep3 where nearly always equal. The ek9 was always the slowest.

[@lewismorgan7515]

Didn't Jamie say a while ago that he doesn't want to keep reviewing the same cars on his channel. I swear this is like the 6th EP3 on his channel.

@@covingtonrace1 I've had 3 of them in the space of 2 years mate. I had a 03 plate Milano red ep3 in 2018 and I sold it as the gearbox was on it's way out, then in February this year I got a mint cosmic grey 54 plate which I got offered £1000 more than what I payed for it so I sold that for profit and a week after I sold that I bought a nighthawk black on a 04 plate which I only bought to sell for profit. The only one I properly miss is the cosmic grey and I regret selling it as it was honestly immaculate and brilliant all round car and I had some serious fun it in :-)

[@herpderp1662]

The answer is no. I dislike ALL type Rs, but the newest gen is clearly the best one ever made. This grose looking fart can could have 50 grand of mods dumped into it and a 2019 would destroy it.

It's a race car with an endurance racing engine. It was designed to race, not please your ears. These cars are properly dangerous 😁 They don't work unless you thrash the bollocks off them meaning you go everywhere flat out. You'll soon become a hooligan in one of these. If you use the engine properly at least.
