American Honda. They decided to take out the K20A and pop in a K20A3 (Same engine as base mode RSX) into the Si. Just like how we get a K20Z3.

If he has good tires, you will lose seeing that you only have intake.

It depends on the driver of the ep3, usually they all powershift at the tracks.

But try it out at the track, see what happens.

Don't shrug off ep3's so quickly, they actually aren't that bad at all. If he's tuned with i/h/e it would probably be a good run (bench racing).. I would guess that both of you would run high 14's or so.

Go hit the track and let us know, remember to post timeslips.

But...in the end...the EP owners have K-Pro and all the K-Swap options and we don't. No K-Pro FTL

i know a guy with an 05 ep3 with wheels, intake, exhaust, hondata i think, and a few other things. and the thing beats my fg2 in the 1/8th every time because his tires are sticky as shit. He never spins, perfect launch everytime. and i have the shitty allseasons

by 40 i start to catch up but its too late

the a3 k series is the retarded child of the honda community. Sorry to the ep3 owners but sans 5k or more for serious, serious f/i applications they're dead in the water.

I went to the track last night and watched my buddy run.

There was about 8 Civic's from new to ep3 and stock to modded to hell
The wife has some video's on her camera. I will post the links when I get them up.
