Ah I remember my two green 99-00 civics I've had. Good times with those cars. Then I got hooked on RWD. I'd get another Honda if it was cheap and I had money to throw away

I have a friend who had a full build-up on an EP for a track car(he's a former East Coast Honda Challenge champion),and it was the most pathetic thing ever.He's back to an EG now.

Re: New to VADriven (Intro with Pictures!)
as a fellow ep3 owner, take my advice:
the chassis as a whole is crap if you're trying to track the car. th center of gravity is high, a lot of body roll, and HEAVY. if you try to reduce weight, you'll only get so far, then you'll try removing the sunroof and etc, and effecting the stability/value of the car.
even if you wanted to drag race the ep3...the weight is an issue. along with the small fenders, reducing the width of drag slicks/radials. u're essentially stuck with a max wideness of a 225/235.
the suspension is also crap for tracking. yeah yeah, German cars have McPhearson setups and they do fine...but it doesnt translate to the EP3 well at all. BUT, if you decide you want to do suspension work, PLEASE go ahead and get all new RSX-S equipment (struts, springs, coilovers, sway bars, etc) they all fit perfectly, have higher spring rates, and can go lower with less problems.
do a mild drop and wheels at most on the ep3, and DD that. leave the sti for a track car.
