EP3 VS EK9 decisions decisions

i dont wanna do a transplant mainly beacasue of the cost. And the brakes can not handle the car at the mo let alone with a power upgrade plus its a pre facelift ek4 so i will want to change the interior, lights etc soon as they look dated.
I dont bother with 1/4 mile times i prefer 0-60 im on 7.3 secs now with 17" heavy alloys, but could prob get 7 dead if i go back to lighter nimble 15"s.
thanks but transplant is out of the question

hmm, is it a b16A? 7.3secs 0-60 is a bit underated... 0-100 7.3secs sounds better....

Yeah, K20A is way too expensive to install on an EK body. It'd be better to just buy another car with K20A.
 
its a B16A2, its about 7.1 approx to 60mph but depends on the driver.
Yeah agree EK9 all the way but dont agree by ppl saying the ep3 is ugly the 9s front lights look like a frog. I have an ek4 so the body is pretty much the same except spoiler, slightbumper differnce on the outside but till u actually get inside not much difference. Yeah Ek9 i thinks
 
DAAMMM...:mad: i could hve baught whole EP3 wreck for £1500 last December when i only decided to keep the seats...:angry2::angry2:

any K20 project on EG or EK is insane... :nice:

My heart has always been with the EK9 for performancecause thats my no1 priority. its just that i will be paying £7500 for a 8 year old car, thats a lot of money to me especially if it is going to start looking old soon. relistically think there is only 4 tenths of a second in the 0-60 time.
Not really into modding as it compromises reliablility a lot of the time, Good tyres, a decat pipe, and poss a intake is all i need.
But respect to all EK9 owners EP3 owners and JDM EP3 owners think anyone who drives one of these is in a win win situation

Finaly someone who agrees modding cars is a compromise!
When i eventualy get my EK9 i will put a spoon exhaust on it and thats it! Ive always been a firm believer in if you start wanting to make your car go faster you then have to take brakes,chasis etc and a few more things into account and also safety, if i wanted a fast car i would just buy somthing faster, i know u will all say thats boring but i want trouble free driving!
