But for a one man show on a budget you will be MILES ahead with the EG/EK/DC2 cars. Hell, even the CL7 TSX is a better base (Real Time Racing and Spoon both gave up on DC5 development and switched to the TSX/Accord)

As an EP3 owner I can confirm all of this. For your purposes, OP, the earlier model Hondas would be better.
There is just way more support, and you can build a more capable vehicle for less money.
