looks wise, i think.

speed/power, feels quicker.

handling, not sure yet, seems good, but the tyres are 5 years old so need replaced before any hard driving.

only complaint i have is the electronic assisted steering malarky, lets it down in that department.

i reckon the ek9 on a track would be better, the ep3 doesnt feel as agile.

yeah it just sorta wanders a little bit, its a bit like corsa c steering.

the diff is quite snappy at low speeds, its pulled me to one side a few times now, ek9 never did that, this one must have torque

If only the steering felt more responsive, i'd have bought one myself
Still, looks awesome.

cost me just over £10.5k, well worth it though.

extras are hid's, lsd, stiffer anti roll bars, more power, different gearbox ratios, recaro seats, umm...more probs lol.

That's alot of money. I hope your happy with it mate, gotta admitt, I am a massive Honda fan but I dont think I could justfy spending that much money on a Civic when you could of had maybe an Evo V instead. Stunning car tho! Keep us up-dated on the mods!

compared to a uk model of the same age, and if you could get one in the same mileage and condition, i think its worth it.

i could've went out and bought a supra, evo, anything, but the running costs are scary, and i knew it'd be a good car from my last civic.
