King motorsports ep3 in Stuff magazine

[Type X]

2 page article on page #66

about the mugen ep3 and laymens terms on the aftermarket parts

the specs are kinda shitty

base says 19k
total value of the king ep3 is 48k
and 1/4 = 14.6

so if your reading the mag and you have NO idea about cars
it gives off the impression that even with 30k in it :)

its slow

but nice to see in a non car mag

Stuff is moronic when it comes to cars.

You can build the same car for alot less and get better times on the quarter mile while still being a daily driven car. Although it does sound alot better when you say you have spent alot more than you really have.:)

Ugh, bad specs, you can probably beat that 1/4 mile time with less than $2000 (2 slicks + hondata + springs + motormounts + CAI + midpipe + some light gutting) but I dont think the car was designed specifically for the drag strip, or those stats are exactly accurate anyways... its still dead sexy.

The King/Mugen EP3 is nice, but only some learning disabled would spend $48,000 on a damn civic. Get a 'real' sports car if you've got $50k to spend.

Your right! Look damn good though!

Contrary to popular belief, not every car is modded to just go fast in a straight line. :D

baby, slicks hondata motormounts intake and midpipe, you'll be PAST 14.6, no need for gutting.

but yeah, yay stuff.

But then again, it's illegal to drive a real sports car on the streets.

I dont think nobody would ever spend 48G'S on an EP. No matter what you put in our cars it is still gonna be a Honda Civic. It is still incomparable to most european cars. It is a reality.

[Dunrick]

i would spend that money...that cars pimp


plus whoever drove it at 14.6 in the himalayan mountains sucks at driving


(spelling might be wrong, my bad)

The thing about 1/4 mile times is that its a big indicator of traction, while they are used to compare power. Imagine if the Si came stock with even a slightly sticker tire like the ES-100. All the initial braking, slalom and 1/4 mile tests would have been skewed upward in all the magazines.. making the car more highly recommended.

As for spending $40K+ on an EP3, I'd be looking in the hatchback for the relocated engine, and up front for the TSX wishbone suspension conversion.
