EP3 Type-R queries

[JT361]

Hey guys,

I'm considering buying an EP3 Type-R, a 2005 model, what should I be looking out for? What Milage can they do before getting troublesome? Any input would be greatly appreciated

Hey JT,

This may be of some help to you, http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?8...

I don't think mileage is a big thing on these engines, just make sure you get one with a full service history.

Look for bad modifications as its rare to find them standard now, History obliviously, crunching in 2nd and 3rd gear, vtec coming in at just under 6k and pulling hard, Check for oil leaks and the useal.

3 Year warranty on a 2005 CTR?

I wouldn't expect that to cover a lot!

Welcome to the EP3 club. You will love it.

I love mine, but thinking about changing now after 2 years of great motoring.
Great decision to buy one.
Mine is a 2003 with 50k miles.
