What an absolute legend, by far the best car I've owned and still almost 6 years down the line, I'm still not bored of it, I always turn and look back thinking it's such a good looking car 👌

more importantly the sideskirts, were the clips go into the body, water leaks in from here and causes rust on the sills from the inside, which not many people knew until now, common the ep3 and accords the way the side skirts are designed, and because it rains so much in uk water ends up flowing through down into the sills from the sideNot too much of an issue were the temperatures are high such as japan as once water gets down there it evaporates quickly but in the uk because of the low temps water just stays there an eats away at the metal

The peak of EP3 content ❤

ive loved my EP3 since i bought it in 2014. its a 2002 in Milano Red. Ive swapped in a K20A2 / 6 speed to try and capture a bit of the Type R essence a few years back and its a joy to drive. It has been showing its age but i still love it dearly. Very cool to see the man who designed it and hear his story. 👍👍

Very interesting interview. It is a design which has aged unusually well. It’s also a model which has been modified perhaps more than any other, which is why it took me 3 years to find one in original condition.

Great video, would like to see more of him and his collection. He has great taste in cars too, I own/owned most of them

Use to prefer the EG/EK shape Civic, but as EP shape is getting older and rarer they've aged quite well. Surprised his never driven a stock one and his not got the stock Enkei Wheels on it cause I love the look of them.
