The EP3 was Honda's first Type R built outside Japan, manufactured at the Swindon plant from 2001 to 2005. European-spec cars ran the K20A2 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine - 197 bhp at 7,400 rpm, 145 lb-ft at 5,900 rpm - through a close-ratio 6-speed manual, without the factory limited-slip differential fitted to JDM cars. That gap shows up repeatedly in what EP3 owners buy: a Kaaz or Wavetrac LSD conversion is one of the more common differential upgrades on this platform, addressing a factory limitation rather than chasing extra power.

This collection covers the EP3 build in full rather than one category. On the chassis side, Powerflex and Hardrace bushing, ARP fasteners for head and rod bolts, and coilover options from BC Racing and MeisterR sit alongside braking upgrades - Brembo OE discs and pads, Ferodo and Pagid compounds for track use, and braided lines. Drivetrain coverage runs from OE-spec Competition Clutch kits through to multiplate and Stage 4 options for cars carrying more power, plus lightweight and ultra-lightweight flywheels. On the engine side, ARP head and rod bolt kits, Cometic gaskets and DeatschWerks injectors support builds moving beyond stock internals, and the exhaust range spans Cobra cat-back systems through to Spoon Sports and HKS components for cars built with a track focus.

A handful of parts on this page are shared fitments rather than EP3-exclusive - several ARP kits and ID-Workz's own oil filter are listed as compatible with both EP3 and FN2, reflecting the shared K20 architecture across the two generations, and some engine components (DeatschWerks injectors, ARP head studs) also list Integra DC5 compatibility given the related K20A. Product titles flag these crossover fitments, but it's worth a fitment check against the exact spec of the car before ordering anything engine-internal.
