Sydney EP3 thread

[RMEP3R]

Hey all, got my EP3 about 3 weeks ago. Haven't registered on here earlier, been enjoying driving it too much! It's white(suprised??) needs a cv, can't be bothered with warranty etc for something i can do myself. Any pointers as to where I can get a new one or if reconditioning it would be the go??

Cheers!!!

If you are looking for genuine parts Amayama.com supplies direct from Japan at about 1/2 the cost of Honda locally.
You can also look up parts numbers on there using your chassis number via the epc-data online.

thanks bluey will do mate

So did you manage to buy any stuff from them?

I've looked at them before but have't bought from them yet.

[onecoop]

Hi there,

Yep I have bought 3 lots of stuff off them and wouldnt even consider buying locally now unless its something I need urgently or less than $50 all up.
Even including postage cost my parts were over 50% cheaper and when I replaced a door rubber which was damaged Honda locally quoted me $130 and it cost less than $60 from Japan.

They stuffed up once and sent me the wrong part which I was a bit worried about but they were very apologetic and sent the right part at their cost a couple of days later with instructions just to throw the incorrect part out.

That cemented it for me, its the way that people handle things when it goes wrong that makes you keep going back. Stuff Honda AU and their hyperinflated prices, its no wonder they arent doing so well against the likes of Mazda these days.

[Poeter]

Thanks onecoop for the feedback of their service.

Can always get a UKDM/EDM cluster. They have 260kmh as their limit.

How do you reprogram it though so that the kms are correct? Or can you just swap out a part of the cluster easily?

Good question. Not 100% sure on that.

Having to see the dc5 guys put jdm cluster on their audm dc5, so I would had thought it is possible with the ep3 as well.

Perhaps the time when you need to reprogram is if one was to convert from miles to kmh. An owner from Perth had once looked into this.

I got fogs lol. But I haven't wired it up yet.

[uniqlo]

Don't mean to rub it in that I have fogs..

but what's this front bumper? Doesn't seem to be the OEM one..

Mine (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_lTHFNnF-AkTHpNYTR0Skhtb1E)

OEM one (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_lTHFNnF-AkcWoxLWZ6U2lYOTQ)

what exactly is the difference between c-package? other than the fog lights?

OEM one (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_lTHFNnF-AkcWoxLWZ6U2lYOTQ)

looks like an Australian delivered eu3 front bumper. Though are the FL ones 2 piece? So you may just be missing the lower lip part.

Both are facelift one has the lip and other doesnt.

FL ep3 users the same FL front bumper just without the lip and grill.

[uniqlo]

So does that mean my one is missing the lip?

And the bumper is in fact two pieces?

[Perry]

Yes it's just missing a lip.

[uniqlo]

Awesome.

Does anyone want to part with their FL front lip? lol

[Perry]

LOL how come you didnt get one?

Luke was that you I saw this arvo?

[uniqlo]

No idea =(

Just how it came...

[Icebox]

Awesome.

Does anyone want to part with their FL front lip? lol

i just had a look at the picture you posted, lol its not the front lip you need to replace its a the whole front bar~~~

EU models surprising dont come as a twice piece at the front from what i remember.

i hope you find a FL bumper soon, good luck! lol

[Lukezen27]

LOL how come you didnt get one?

Luke was that you I saw this arvo?

Your talking about the Grill part?

[Icebox]

Your talking about the Grill part?

nah the grill is definitely a type r 04 one, just the bumper because it looks like more EU then jdm ep3 even if, he finds a FL lip i dont think he can mount it on to the bumper.

thats just from what i can see from the image really

Well if you are going to change the lip, you definitely will scrap as your car is already low.
