Could be quite interesting, have you got any more pictures?

It's a shame this is happening to an EP3, there aren't enough of those around now. And they were a true "Type R" design, as opposed to more recent models which are a little flabby for my tastes.

Exactly! Should be red though, they are quicker

One of these is a perfect hot hatch track car IMO.

Yeah, great motors, loved my one. Although Black ones are the fastest.

Na, black absorbs heat, expanding metal thus making it less aerodynamic. Cmon, it's simple

Bookmarked.

[rallycross]

what sort of cost to get the cage done, ie cost to fit (and is it a motorsport cage?)

I think you might have confused an EP3 with an EK9, I'm learning all about Hondas having just picked up my DC2!

Errmm, as said there are loads of these cars around, tens of thousands just in the UK.

Red turns pink!

[Petrolhead Tom]

That is a very nice base to start from!

Yes, I blame reading PH after I've just got in from nightshift, I was indeed thinking of the EK9.

[IanUAE]

Very nice. We run two EP3's in the UAE Touring Car Championship (1 with h pattern box 1 with sequential box).

[LottieB]

Good start, are you thinking of racing or just trackdays?

[trackracer]

getting there slowly but surely
