Since we never had a real CTR till the FK8R and now FL5R (I've one on order), I've been modding mine for two decades, includes k24a2, JRSC, Quaife LSD, willwood 6 piston, Konig Hypergrams, Feels coilovers etc...keep up the great channel!

      Appreciate it man! It’s mainly just info I have picked up over the years plus a bit of research over a couple of days.
      The FL5 is on my list of cars to own! The perfect modern all rounder, just like the EP3 but with all the bits you want from a modern car.
      That must be a riot to drive! Some tasty bits on that! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    Great, thanks for those. I've had mine since new from Sept 2003, and there's some facts I didn't know!. Mine's a late pre-facelift (53 plate), and it does have rear head rests, so I'm not sure when the last pre-facelifts rolled off the line? One random fact was that the earlier versions had dual valve springs (inner and outer), whereas the later ones had single valve springs. As mine is a late pre-facelift, my tuner said when he changed the cams, that mine was fitted with the stock single springs, so was not an issue swapping them out straight for the Toda single springs. The later pre-facelifts were pot luck on what springs you got. The R build numbers never seemed to make any sense chronologically, and seemed to just randomly come out of a parts bin. Mine's 19652 in NHB, pre-facelift, 53 plate

      Apparently the head rests were added to EU cars in 03 due to law changes. The JDM cars didn’t get them.
      Oh wow! That is interesting! I never knew that!

Definitely wasn't the fastest my VTEC swapped 91 Integra was wayyy quicker.. but now I currently own a 93 Si I'm going all out on. Oh lil fact too.. 02-03 EP3 rear rotors are a direct bolt on for 92-95 Civics and 94-01 Integras since they are 4x100. I'm running the EP3 rears with DC2 R calipers.

    Re prices of pre facelift cars I was under the impression non AC was £15,995 and AC was £16,995. The 30thAE came with AC as standard so was the same price as a normal pre facelift with AC specc’d.
    Price was same for facelift cars (£1000 premium if you wanted AC).
    Did premier EP3’s come with AC as standard? And were these £16,995?

    @Jmsborland97 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    the Recaro logo on the JDM seats is just completely random, which is also the case for the 30th anniversary edition. I've seen them in white, beige and black and they don't seem to follow any pattern either, I thought maybe they did it by the year of the car but that doesn't seem to be the case. Mine is a 2003 and the logo is black, if anyone else has a 2003 let me know the colour 🤷‍♂
