Description
Looking for a modern classic that hasn't been ruined by heavy modifications? This EP3 Type R is the perfect example of why the K-Series engine is legendary.
The Performance
At the heart of this car is the high-revving K20A2 engine. Most importantly, the VTEC engagement is still strong and aggressive. It pulls cleanly all the way to its 8k RPM redline.
To enhance that signature soundtrack, it has been fitted with an upgraded intake system, giving you much more induction roar when you hit the crossover, without sacrificing the car's reliability.
The car also sits on lowered springs, which gives the car a much more planted feel through the corners and in general driving.
Exterior & Condition
The car is in good overall condition, retaining its sharp, timeless silhouette.
Wheels: Sitting on its original OEM alloy wheels, which are in good condition. A rare find as most have been scuffed or swapped out.
Bodywork: Currently sporting the clean, stock look plus an aftermarket fibeworks rear lip (with the original lip available for an added price), and a mugen style spoiler which really adds to the car. Facelift front bumper currently fitted, slight crack on the nearside. There is also the option to purchase an aftermarket front bumper in the form of the Aerokit Spec R-2 in nighthawk black.
Why This EP3?
Finding an EP3 that hasn't been "track-abused" or over-modified is becoming increasingly difficult. This car offers the perfect balance: the reliability of a mostly stock setup, the enhanced sound of a quality intake, and the peace of mind that the engine is still hitting VTEC hard.

VTEC pulls exactly as it should I'm happy to demonstrate the car's full range through the gears during a viewing, but I will remain behind the wheel for the duration.
