Always loved this model. Many do not. It's the last proper Si hatchback (USDM) Honda made before they went 4 doors. An I loved how the shifters high up in the middle console, very rare (odd to some) location that Honda has never done since. Plan on getting one as a daily while my Evo sits pretty in the garage.
What a down to earth lad. The sentimental aspect of this build puts a bit of shame on a lot of others! The fact he doesn’t seem to care about the social media side of things also speaks a lot. Sometimes, just do it. Don’t shout about it all over the shop. Of course, no offence to Adam and the people who post decent content. Just the people who post filler for adverts and little else…
Adrenaline pumping, youthfully exuberant pocket rocket of fun and character. You don't always need a turbo to have a fast car. Honda were just the best from 1990 to about 2006. Huge aftermarket support as well.
Love these cars man such a unique car to Drive and maybe Daily if you have the money to insure it but who doesn't love a K20 Civic Type R Supercharged what a beast this is The True question is Adam would you ever own a EP3 Civic Type R and if so what would you do with the Animal if you had or brought one?
Turbo ep3s are insanely good, but I didn't want to go turbo, the amount of power I'm running fwd is perfect for my setup, any more power I'd be breaking traction too much, without a built gearbox or 4wd
@@jasonboyle7203 different times back then wasn't it, they are 20 years old now! Just think they probably started designing the k series in 98 perhaps?! People say how slow they are standard but for a 2.ol 16v n/a they are incredible at 197bhp. Alot of hot hatches were n/a through the 90s, and when the mk2 focus st turbo made 225 and the megane 225 came out they were basically 20hp extra with a turbo, the k20 is the best 4banger engine ever made 😀
@Steve Vento you can get fast response turbos. Use a smaller one for faster response. People often think turbos are laggy. Although some aren't. Most the time it's boost threshold with an incorrect inlet manifold
They are rubbish the standard calipers, and have rebuilt these a couple times, they are reconditioned like new calipers, pads and disc on the front fully working fine, no binding, but just got super hot! Big brake kit desperately needed 😬
@@JDMz really? Click 182? I can't see them being much different to the original type r ones? The megane brembos are the good ones, had my eye on them, but not ready to spend anymore at the mo, big brake kit will be next year now I think, I chucked new pads in Last weekend bedded them in properly and they've come back to life which is lucky 😁
I was super nervous on camera! Could talk about the car, mods what I've done with it for hours normally, as soon as the camera was rolling I lost my words! I asked Adam before we started to keep me chatting and keep it rolling as I feared I'd loose what I was saying 🤣
@@jackwatson5400 Yeah right I've got a dc5 Integra black 😂😂😂😂😂 in the 90s i had s2 turbo only Ford i have had,, Honda man me😂😂😂 EK 9 an EP3 now a DC5 JDM not British crap
@@slapntickle8249 not a very nice comment to leave on a car that Kev has spent years making it his own, if you think it’s poor and not very quick then that’s your problem the ones who know that car know it’s fast

I have got Facebook, and literally just made a TH-cam account to comment on here today, but no Instagram
That’s a fantastic build. It really has that quality oem + feel to it. Really well done.
Sound epic with that supercharger.
It's just so perfectly modified! And what a nice dude man! Big hats off to him! The carbon is siiiiiick!
If i ever had an ep3 thats exactly how i would have it! Epic Epic Epic! Owner is a top bloke! Not a rattle not a creak nothing. Hats off to you mate!

What a great spec ep3 all the right bits in all the right places, wish i'd have kept mine now.
What a car man😍, gives me so much inspiration to do something similar with mine. Hats off to the owner on this👍
Finally, a fucking decent sounding exhaust on one of these. Well done sir. It sounds so good!
I had an EP3 running 258bhp CPL Racing Kent, I sold it and bought an Evo IX running 520bhp, if I am to be honest I had more fun in the Honda EP3.
What a great little build. Peck should have never sold his ep3 if only he could get it back.
👀
6:25 very relatable! 😅
Not what I needed to see in my feed whilst I'm trying to save money!
Solid little back road Rippa! Slick video and that 4K looking Crispy AF.
Love that supercharger whine! Adam were you filming whilst on a trampoline?
Nah man this £3000 camera just isn’t that good with stabilisation but the block button works just fine
@@adamivell Was only joking Adam. You did the guy justice as ever. Cracking car.

I have had one before mate but I don’t think I’d have another for now, pretty content with my line up !

It's Kev the Rev!
Jackson whine 🤤🤤
Great feature!
Lovely clean, well molded car
Quality video lovely car .. would love a supercharger on mine .. maybe one day 🤙
Another great vid 👋🏻
Perfect ep3!
Ep3 all the way Just needs boosted

@@k20jackson94 i had a ep3 for 7 yr no big bills But if mine was like yours would be well chuffed Lad.
It is boosted. Supercharged and turbos are "boosted" forced induction. Lol
@@JDMz did ken that just ment from factory.

What are the wheel size/specs? Amazing car mate!
I know superchargers give it the low down torque it needs but will always prefer turbos

Kev you forgot to plug our “jdm” wind deflectors haha
Adam bro I have a dumb question, would a turbo kit(just the hot side alone) from an ep3 fit into a dc5 chasis, cheers brotha
Are you the one made 257 at TTC with bolt on mods ?
Hey, yeh that's me 😁 that was last September, were you there?
@@k20jackson94 no mate, I’m the one asking show custom vstack intake on FB
@@jackckng5316 ah right. You want to see the vstack?
What exhaust you got on there ?
Dc sports 421 to solid fabrication 3" system
Shame Honda recently closed the Swindon factory,end of an era.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that brake was binding up standard ep3 callipers are 💩

Let the man talk m8 , good video but gs lowise let the man talk
Hi mate if you hadn’t realised he was really nervous, everytime I saw him struggling I helped him along & he thanked me for it.

If you count the amount of times “yeah!” Was said in this video you’re talking thousands
Hi Adam, do you know if he has an insta page as I wanted to ask a couple of question about his EP, cheers, great video also
He doesn’t mate
No worries cheers bud
What's up with all the reviews? Are they doing well on the platform?
I don’t have any modifications to do on any of the Cars atm, so it’s good content to make
@@adamivell Fair enough. Missing the garage content that's all.
@@GeorgeHampl me too, miss the boys, miss peck whos moved away, just dont have endless money to do this
What steering wheel is that
Dw should have watched the whole video first 😂😂
Do people actually declare all mods on insurance? Uk?
I always have done. Doesn't seem to affect my premium
Nope.
Are the disk not wrong around
No they are the right way, we're also stamped left and right
Is every guy in UK now on youtube doing these kinda videos? :D Camera focus is nowhere to be found and really "steady" camera handling :D
Love to see you do better buddy, will subscribe and wait and see
@@adamivell I'm not into doing videos like that, can't stand being in front of the camera. You still can sub :D
@@adamivell Also I'll give you an invite to do a video when my rear engine mini will be finished ;)

Classic modified car TH-camr, “tell us about the mods then!”
And proceeds to interrupt and talk 5x as much as the owner 🙄
Go do better then
Love Honda's but this one is poor you sure it charged 😂😂 that whinging is just the gearbox lol 😲😲 turn that charger up that's no Honda 😂😂
