^^ I knew it was a joke :). I first posted Zzzzz. Op knew right off the bat I was joking
Ok first to answer you properly. I am not new to modifying an EP3. My car has definitely been faster than your bolt on 8th. It was turbo'd at one point and quite frankly i'm past that phase at the moment. The car had a K20Z1 in it with the same transmission that the 8th gens come with, add my bolt ons and hey, guess what, an 8th with bolt on's would not fuck with a lighter car. A stock 8th gen makes the same power that my car has made currently so when i speak about them i was referring to a stock one to see what would happen.
shit just got real...
be jealous :P
Lol yup it got real (ep3 ftw) nuff said.
How so? And whats the big deal going on here? The guy said he wanted to catch a race with a 8thgen, and I said if he is ever in town, hit me up and I'd let him run mine. What just got "real" in here? Drama, oh yes.. the drama...
Despite what the OP may think, I am in my mid 30's, and have (and had) vehicles that are plenty fast lol. My ep3 was my beater car, and was still nicely modded. To me, I just wanted to build something that was reliable, fun to drive.
Just a little FYI (as if you care about my other vehicles) - my "other" honda dyno'd out at 10 less HP than your Ep3. Its a CBR1kRR with a HRC built motor in it. It weighs all of 440lbs or so. So regardless of how "fast" your previous turbo vehicle is/was, I doubt it was really as fast as you think it was. When I think of fast, I dont usually think of a car some young guy built on a forum.. I think of either hypercars, exotics, or bikes. And none of that 600cc pansy bullsh1t.
Just for the record op is in his mid 20's and a Honda tech. " some car a young guy built on a forum" is a little far fetched
Lol .. I dont ride.. I could give two fucks about a bike... I wanna feel that speed i got a few A10 gtrs to ride in.. Beauty of being involved and being positive is that you meet people and get introduced to things. Basically if you don't care about going fast in a car don't talk shit to someone that has been further on a subject than you have. I will not knock u on a bike.. I'll just tell you to ride safe and wish you the best. As far as the whole age thing, well experience is all that matters.. My car has seen my experiments than most and the only thing i have not done is supercharge or run nitrous, because both have no interest to me.
Im blabbing.. Anyways i was just trying to share my most recent endeavour, and i was just trying to inform you all. Thanks for reading.. Any more questions feel free to ask
those are really nice numbers.
if anything ever happened to my ep3 and the engine survived, i would drop my k20a into a 8th series sedan in a second.
only major change and positive at that, would be the throttle. using my enigine would delete drive by wire.
Hahahaha that young guy built is funny. I remember a young guy who built a 8th gen civic si the guy was cool until he got smoke by a toyota sienna lmfao. Now that sienna was fast tsk..tsk..tsk..
I think your comments are getting further from what I said. First, I NEVER said anything about the OP. Did I??????? Your taking my statement, and twisting it to fit your statements. I never said he was young, old, a tech, or a priest. Did I??? Please point out where I specifically said that about him. I said when I think of fast cars I dont usually think of what a YOUNG person on a forum built. That was not directed at him, you, or anyone else. Its telling you what *I* think of, when I think of fast cars. If I would of MEANT the OP, I would of SAID his name. I didnt. I made a GENERAL statement.
I said EXACTLY THIS:
When I think of fast, I dont usually think of a car some young guy built on a forum.. I think of either hypercars, exotics, or bikes.
Thats not a knock on the OP, YOU, or anyone else. But its stating WHAT I THINK. When I think of something "fast" it is either full blown drag cars, or high end exotics or supersport bikes. I did not say the guys car was fast, slow, or anything in between. If you can find in my posts where I knocked the guys ride please point it out.
How does this shit keep getting twisted? Never said anything negative about the OP, or you. You seem to be on my nuts about each comment I make, but now I am wondering about reading comprehension in this thread.
I NEVER referenced the guys age, or anything like that. GO BACK AND read my post. I think you are interpreting it how YOU want me to sound. But thats just it. I expressed my opinion on what fast is. If you are interpreting that as a slam against the OP, thats YOUR freaking problem man.
The OP said he wanted to catch a run against a 8th gen, and I said I'd be down, if he ever is in the area. Most likely it wouldnt happen, but who knows maybe he has family or something in PA/MD or something.
There is no problems with anyone on here, and I still enjoy the EP3.
And just so you guys understand how life works - there is ALWAYS someone with something bigger, better, faster, lower, whatever whatever - more than what I have, or you have, or what your friends have. Its life.
I didnt know when the OP was "calling out" a 8th gen, that by me responding, I would be the enemy, even though I owned the same car you guys all have.... If it was up to ME, I would own both cars. But mine got taken away by a drunk driver.

My last post in your thread -since its your thread - Your saying I am talking "shit"? Where did that come from?? I am not that type of guy, and no one here is talking shit, except klit... And how do you know that you have been further into projects than I have? I am older than you (now that your age bracket has been revealed by someone else, who said your in your 20's) I would bet my house, that I have been modding longer than you. And the only reason for that? Is that I am older. Nothing to do with money, or lack of knowledge or anything like that. I dont get where you think I was talking shit about your ride. Infact, for you to get around 180hp is reasonable out of this car, and is most likely fun to drive around in.
The most extreme project I have done was a chevy engine into a porsche 928 from Renegade Hybrids. That car put down 430hp back when I was 22. The porsche motor was taken out because it was an interference engine, and the previous owner snapped a belt, wiping everything out. I rebuilt that car with my father before he died. I got the shell for free, and only had to pay for the chevy motor.
I had to get rid of the car, because ALL the other things were going wrong with it, and it was an older 928. (I dont know if you know about porsche's or what) but then I purchased a 944 turbo S. Those cars used can still go upwards of $15k or more if they are mint low mileage, and they are 20 something years old. Ive owned everything from mustangs (supercharged), porsche's (2) (one turbo, one motor swap) , bmw (e36), VR4 mitsu, supercharged, then turbo charged tC and a few hondas and about 10 different bikes, and lots of other things. I dont understand how your saying I have no experience with projects, so I should stop talking shit... I have plenty of experience. All my "fun" cars have always been modded. I have been turbo'd, S/C'd, NA, and nitrous. The Nitro was put on a car that was already destroyed (a conquest TSi) , just to finish it off, so no, its not like it was tuned with it. But I have been hands on, on all my projects. So I cant say you have more OR less experience than me, and you cant say that either.
Anyways, Im going to drop it. The whole thing started because I simply said I would run you with my 8th, but I was saying my car was not stock.
I wish you the best of luck with your car. Take it easy, and calm down. Dont be so defensive. You called out wanting to run a 8th for FUN, and I responded, in FUN. Nothing was said about you, or your car that was negative. I think everyone here needs to chill out and smoke a doob.
