Honda EP3 Civic Type-R Tshirt

The Honda EP3 Civic Type-R was first introduced in 2001 as the third generation of the Civic Type-R series. It was based on the standard Civic hatchback, but with several enhancements to make it a high-performance sports car.

Under the hood, the EP3 Civic Type-R featured a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated K20A engine that produced 197 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission that provided a thrilling driving experience.

The EP3 Civic Type-R was designed with a sporty and aggressive exterior, with features like a front spoiler, side skirts, and a rear wing. The suspension was also upgraded, with stiffer springs and dampers, and a limited-slip differential for better handling and cornering.

In 2004, Honda made some minor updates to the EP3 Civic Type-R, including new front and rear bumpers, a redesigned grille, and improved headlights.

The EP3 Civic Type-R was only available in Japan, Europe, and a few other markets, and was never officially sold in the United States. Despite this, it gained a dedicated following among car enthusiasts, who praised its combination of performance and practicality.

The EP3 Civic Type-R was produced until 2006, when it was replaced by the FN2 Civic Type-R. However, it remains a beloved classic among Honda fans, who appreciate its unique place in the history of the Civic Type-R series.
