![]() Today's Car of the Day is Hot Wheels' EP3 Honda Civic Si. EP3 is just a Honda chassis code denoting the hatchback Civic made from 2001-2005. I realize the graphics say Type R, but the FE was an Si and they didn't change the casting so Si it is ![]() Comon, anyone who's looked at my sig had to see this one coming! ![]()
![]() More info: Honda Civic Si ![]() A bit of interesting trivia for ya; for this generation of Civic, the only hatchback versions sold in North America were Sis. Here's my other examples of the casting. ![]() I would love to be able to track my Civic someday, and I wouldn't mind a bit if it ended up looking something like the Hot Wheels version. |

Support your local demo derby.

I'd agree with that. Pretty good casting for a HW. When I was in High School, this car came out and all of my rice racer buddies wanted this car more than anything at the time. Actually compared to some of the imports now, this car seems slow at 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.Sir Crafty |

It's when you get behind the wheel and start using it that you notice why it's so great

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Nice ride! And don't worry about the "Type R" logo on it. At least its on a Honda. I've seen "Type R" on all kinds of cars, almost none of which are Hondas... |

Sad, but true. There wasn't much difference between the Type R and Si anyway, especially cosmetically. |

And Photobucket images have been restored. I don't trust them, and will be replacing them with uploaded to the forum images anyway, but tonight, these are still on Photobucket. Cue dozens of replies of 'I can't see the pictures' tomorrow if PB removes them again. Regardless, they will be brought over to the Garage specifically. Tonight though, let's consider this an experiment.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Is type "R" a blood type?
