OP, I have a DC5 Type R and had a EP3 before this.

I tracked it every month and did many hill runs in it as well as drove it everyday to and from work (100km each way).

They are incredible cars and one of the strongest motors from Honda with the H22a being my second fav.

If it's in good condition, regardless of being tracked or not, I would get it. You'll learn a lot driving it if you've never had a fast FWD before. They are set up very good from factory and once you start adding adjustable suspension gear you'll learn heaps, as well as have a very very well performing car.

The only issue I ever had with my K series motor was when a bird got stuck in the radiator and it heated up a little, but it never effected the motor overall, just at that certain time.

I plan to sell my DC5 soon and am going to buy the new Type R Civic that comes out this year.

I also own an SS ute (Australian poster) and have owned many many many Hondas. The EP3 is still my most memorable car.

Hope this helps.

yeah I've heard about the K series reliability. Thanks for your inpuit, the least I'll do is go check the car out on Sunday

Do it man!
They are such a good car.
With a bit of money spent on a new ECU (something like a Helltech would be ideal) and some cams / retainers to suit (TODA is what I use) you can set the rev limit to 9500-10k, if you wanted more power and to be able to stay in the higher revs longer (8500-10k) you could do pistons as well.

For not much work you will have a super fun car, plus, once you learn the car and have trust in it you'll out corner most average super cars on the track!

How quick did you get over the shifter placement?
I've had the opportunity to buy one before but couldn't get over how goofy it felt.

Yeah it's different, it does take some getting used to but it's really comfy when you get used to it.

The design comes from GT3 Race cars in Japan, most of the placement on the boxes they use are very alike.

it's just that I'm a poor as fuck wageslave, and if the car breaks, I've got no transportation and no cash for repairs either

for a car with high rev line that saw 220k km of track days and vtec dicking, i'd consider a couple of spare thousand euros just in case

If the car breaks, you can part it out and make double your money.

Win win ;)
