i sold my MX5 for the EP3 and it used to be red yes. sold it to a young chick who seems to fell in love with it so i guess it went to a good home....

yeah meet over the easter weekend would be great. maybe some where around Sunnybank and prefer during the day.

[Philip Lee]

man u guys run hardcore stuff.

i just want some better pads (maybe disc). calipers are definitely out of the question.

endless SSS good? how about CCA?? for street application only.

btw just got insurance renewal letter. got hit with a $80 increase for nothing (no claim/changes). not happy jan....

Ring them up and say u want to cancel ur policy cause its too expensive,they want your moey so they will drop the price :)
thy EBC Green Stuff pads, got them on the GT4 at the moment, there great, good for locking up :p (No ABS FTW!!!!!!)

[EG CIVIC]

err what's wrong hehe

the interior is big enough for 2 adults + 2 kids.

we have another 5 door hatch tho....

interior space is exactly the same as the 5 door hatch?
have used a baby seat in the EP3R?

[Philip Lee]

i can't say if the interior space is exactly the same but i have no problem sitting at the back personally and i'm 6 feet.

never fitted a baby seat either. only boosters.

[rpm boy]

cant wait till tomorrow, test drive and hopefully buy 2morrow, im excited

[Philip Lee]

private or dealer? good luck.

[burak213]

rob u sound excited enough to buy a car on the spot, be prepared to walk away if the dealer doesn't meet your price.

[rpm boy]

private or dealer? good luck.
Dealer, advertised for $25.500 20-22 is what im aiming for


rob u sound excited enough to buy a car on the spot, be prepared to walk away if the dealer doesn't meet your price.

... well excited yes, but getting myself into more debt isnt what i had in mind so walking away if its not up to my standards is the way i will go till i find another one, plus its an upper hand for me if i want to bargin some more :p

Wow, you have some bargaining skills if you pull off that price, surely you won't get it. It would be hard to import at the moment for that price wouldn't it. The prices of our cars should be going up due to the dollar as shown through prices of parts.

... i would imagine they would have payed for it b4 the dollar had gone up.. its a fairly low price to start off with so theres no harm in trying the bargin. if its not this one it will be another one, im not in a rush, things are going to keep going down cause no one is buying nething cause there scared of there jobs etc etc plus its not advertised nemore for some odd reason so i wont have any competition

[Philip Lee]

not really as price in Japan has dropped.

well yes there is less demand but also less supply as hardly anyone is importing atm.

but unless the dealer is desperate for cash, i agree that it won't be easy to pull such a deal.

[KaZe86]

hey guys anynews on the rear number plate parkers?? and how to get to them??

also on another note my automatic window when i press up all the way *auto* it goes up hits the top then goes back down a bit it wont stay there?? does anyone know whats going on there?? pissing me off i thought if i hold down or up the buttons it might reset it but it doesnt work please help

Cheers Steven

[Philip Lee]

I had this problem b4. Turned out to b when the window was on its way up it was rubbing against the rubber inside the window guides which was enough to make it stop and go back down (Must b a safety thing just incase someone hand gets caught the window would stop and go back down mayb ??). My mechanic found it and sprayed something from a can i cant remember sorry.

oh nice steve i will check it out later thanks mate

REAR PARKERS ANYONE?? :wave: ahahaha

[SuperSteve]

oh nice steve i will check it out later thanks mate

REAR PARKERS ANYONE?? :wave: ahahaha

nps bud. As for the rear parkers. They are designed so that u can click them to 1 side and they should come off and u can replace the globe but beause its plastic the clip i think gets stuck and if u try to push it to the side u might crack it. My mechanic replaced it by taking the plastic cover off the hatch door and going in from behind. Or do what i did for ages, at night time b4 u take off, turn ur head lights on, walk to the back of ur car and tap the parkers till the filaments touch and turn on hahaha

[Mugen_B16B]

hey steven im pretty sure u gotto pull the plastic cover inside the boot off to get them off, i could be wrong, i also had a look but didnt see anything from the outside so im guessing u gotto go from the inside

[KaZe86]

hrmm interesting ill try the side click thing also with the taking of the plastic off its just to plastic screws that are under the boot i snap one already... -_- thanks for that guys i will try later

[stoj19]

I seriously don't understand, haha. On carsales a great condition EP3 which is completely standard is $27,500+. Below that they aren't registered and have other rims etc.

Getting an EP3 for $20k? sure it is an EP3? lol

Serious I didnt really like the Polo Gti for some reason oh yeah Philip I replied back to you on clubitr about the steering thing wasnt much to the answer though sorry.

[burak213]

yea might need to be dropped a bit.

[Philip Lee]

Serious I didnt really like the Polo Gti for some reason oh yeah Philip I replied back to you on clubitr about the steering thing wasnt much to the answer though sorry.

hi Perry, thanks for your reply. it's ok, just a discussion so nothing urgent.

i dun feel for the current one but next one seems a ripper. and the beauty for VAG cars are you can flash the ECU (for <$2k) and instant power gain.

anyway i've gone very OT now......

[Perry]

Cool Cool my misses was looking into a Gti Golf or even a R32 before the Ep3 but the price is just too $$$ at the moment

[Philip Lee]

your gf got a FL right? price for a used GTI starts from high 20s so it's similar to the FL EP3.

i like both so i got both haha.

[Perry]

[stoj19]

[NightRyder]

Kaz (steven), in order to change the rear parker lights, yes you need to remove all the internal plastic covers (on the inside of the hatch door). Starting from the top of the rear window, by yanking that out before removing the side plastic covers off. Then, finally you need to unscrew/remove the two plastic clips on the bottom of the hatch (you will see them as you lift the hatch door up) and then yank that plastic cover off.

Once that is all done, you can see the two parker light leads and it just takes a matter of patience and time to reach in and twist the rear parker housing out to change the parker lights. :)

Does that make sense?..hehe...otherwise PM me for further details. :cool:

i just want to no if the steel will make the drive feel more soft compared to the billet

[Nepolian]

Hey G, bit late notice...LoL...no sorry bud can't make it.

Neither will feel soft, even if you get the 60A. Unfortunately you'll get a decent upgrade in vibration through the car :(

Steel or billet no difference in performance, just looks and material.

[Mugen_B16B]

i 4got who got the mugen ones on here, i think it was steve but how do they feel compared to stock?

[n5920787]

i 4got who got the mugen ones on here, i think it was steve but how do they feel compared to stock?

I know most ppl with Mugen Mounts said there aint much difference or it feels stiffer than stock. I just ordered Hasport mounts. What are you ordering?

[Mugen_B16B]

innovative billet or steel, 60A

its like 150 cheaper then hasports and does the same, both dont come with front mounts anyway

[icecrm]

has anyone changed the number plate holder lights, and if so how?

[Nepolian]

has anyone changed the number plate holder lights, and if so how?

With great difficulty. You've gotta take off the whole rear plastic cover to get to it. Try not to break the plastic clips. I think I broke 1 or 2 on doing it.

A complete BIIIARRCH to do!

Where have you been? Just lurking around!

[Mugen_B16B]

lol go back 3 pages and read til latest, its been covered

also anyone in bris got innovative mounts in there ep3/dc5, i wanna see and feel how much vibration there is

[KaZe86]

has anyone changed the number plate holder lights, and if so how?

Hey mate,

i just done my yesterday took me about 40 mins i was fully lost ive been asking about it for a while but yeah you need to...

-take off the top plastic part from the top rear brake light x 4 white tabs

-then the left one x 2 or 3 tabs

-then the right one x 2 or 3 tabs

-unscrew the screw in the inside handle to pull down the boot

-unplug the 2 tabs from the bottom of the boot then rip off the whole thing x 6 or 8 tabs

it will be very hard to rip off the plastic parts dont be scared just rip them off i did break about 4 or 5 tabs i think lol but yeah and also some other clips but had to be done i think lol

and that should be it un twist it and bam

hope that helps

[Mugen_B16B]

just cars 950

[Philip Lee]

17x8 either +32 38 or 44?? which is best and y

8" with +44 probably won't fit (hit the sussy) at the front or very close. my 7.5 +48 is very very close.

+32 might be too far out at the front, so probably +38 would be the best.

i guess do a test fit to be safe.

just wondering how easy is that the pod filter will suck in water from raining and car washing thro the hood/bonnet drain!!?

thanx!

highly doubt you will get rain sucking up form the pipe unless you drive through a MASSIVE puddle lol but yeah most people get scared but its safe my mate has one on his dc5r and no problems i used to have one on my corolla sportivo also no problems i reckon you get mroe air down there but yeah im sticking with the gruppeM!! :thumbsup:

was going to get the gruppeM too,but it was too expensive around the $1,300 shipped.

[denrie]

Yeah, I went to IMG today and there was 3 EP3's. 2 JDM and 1 UKDM the UKDM might be selling around 23K Gavin said...

[Nepolian]

Had both gruppem and cai. Not as much difference as you think!

Theres about 2 or so kw mid range less with cai but theres about 2kw above 8K so realistically, CAI is good for top end power without losing much in the mid area.

And yes, thats on the dyno!

Wouldnt buy a golf due to the price of parts and service and i couldnt afford it neway. and turbo isnt as fuel economical

[stoj19]

thanx for the fast reply!!

Yeah, I can't understand paying that much money for an intake and you also have to slice up your car which you can't put back to standard :eek:

[Philip Lee]

you buy performance cars and fuel economy is a major concern???

re mods, spend around $1k for a ECU reflash and you get 40ps & 50nm (at fly). $1k can't even get you a Gruppe M CAI for EP3 at the current exchange rate....

service cost might be more expensive but interval is longer (15000 km vs 10000km).

anyway the mk5 GTI might be over your budget by around $5k but it's a great car. not saying EP3 isn't great. as i said i love both for different reasons.

[Philip Lee]

Yeah, I can't understand paying that much money for an intake and you also have to slice up your car which you can't put back to standard :eek:

cf bling man. that's the price you have to pay :p

anyway Super Taikyu DC5R runs the stock airbox (possibably due to the rules) so i guess it's good enough for me. i just can't justify spending so much for minimal gain. although i must admit the sound is awesome.

yeah true i did hear that there isnt much difference with the 2 but in the end its about personal preference depends on what you want really i want the gruppeM full stop. lol thats just me i had a cai in the past so this is a change also with refrences to dynos and such for gains and no gains its hard to compare also unless its been dynoed within the day short periord because remember that every dyno is different every day is different taking into account the outside temp, oils, tyre pressures, tyre tread left so on so on but yeah if i were you wait up and get a gruppeM *to EP3EVA *

thats my 2 cents on it

Define performance car ! :p i understand what your saying, but compare an EP3 to a ferrari or r35 GTR and its a shopping car :) but im getting 13-15 litres per hundred (boost, what do u expect) so fuel is a major consideration in the buying process and unless your doing "spirited driving" above 5500rpm the fuel consumption is good :) but i guess you could call it a sliding scale more performance more fuel etc on which the EP3 is in the good side of the scale

As for the Golf, most of my past time is working on cars (i grew up in a servo, and past experiences have detered me from the Vw's BMW's and Audi's of the world which is comming from a servicing/fixing part of view cause they go like a bat hot of hell, its just little things that i think about that turn me off that other people dont really think about. That and i will never buy a turbo again....too many things that can go wrong

i'd think EP3 and GTI are in the same market. similar size, hatchback, around 40k (3dr) etc etc. so we're comparing apple with apple here.

13-15L/100km?? that's higher than what i get from the GTI (average 11L/100km). but i'm on about 9-10L/100km on the EP3 so i guess you have more fun than me :p

[stoj19]

Yep fuel economy sux... boost comes on low and strong so fuel is there to back it up = crap fuel consumption

Yeah i like the look of the golf but the turbo is what wrecked it... Would deffinately buy an R32 golf if it were in the price range :p

[stoj19]

custom is strict for the private import application evaluation as one of my friend did import ek9 from HK to melb.

no one dare to import facelifted EP3 nowadays, due to too expensive will set you 35k plus.

So whats with the UKDM EP3's being cheaper than the JDM's? How much would an 04 CTR EP3 in Grey be worth here from the UKDM? Cant be many grey ones in the country?!

[blk_shadow]

So whats with the UKDM EP3's being cheaper than the JDM's? How much would an 04 CTR EP3 in Grey be worth here from the UKDM? Cant be many grey ones in the country?!

UKDM is cheaper cos it doesn't come with recaros, momos, and different engine tuning and I believe different ECU tuning as well. (JDM is quicker at top end and higher revving, while UKDM is good on low end power)

whereabout are you from? i'd suggest speaking to IMG (http://www.internationalmotorgroup.com.au) if you're in sydney...it's definitely BS that you can't import the FL one (maybe they can't themselves, but who knows)...

but yeah...like kongu said...it's probably going be too expensive to get a FL one nowadays thanks to the horrible exchange rate...i was just lucky enough to get mine while the dollar was strong

JDM EP3 Championship White wins. (in my opinion)

No matter how few silver etc there are in the country, Championship White is the colour Type-R's are renowned for and will be worth more than the other colours.

PS. (Sorry if this offends anyone, but it is a fact the CW is the unique Type-R colour)

HID's

this is a good question.

i dun think any local Honda has non projector oem HIDs. i believe the bulb is different to projector ones.

[KaZe86]

Doesnt matter where in the rev range, the JDM K20 is superior!

TRUE THAT YO!! lol

i was thinking of blacking out my headlights i like the shadow chrome headlights but black does look good what do you guys think?

[n5920787]

u want just the bulb or the whole thing?

u talking about what lights? headlights? tail lights? interior lights?


Yeah need whole new headlights. Too many scratches on mine left by the previous owner. One of the downsides of getting a used car.

[Philip Lee]

dun think u can buy the whole type r headlight here. will need to be imported i guess.

[stoj19]

Will the 2005 projector headlights fit in ours? Because if I had to change my headlights in my 02 EP3 I would put in FL ones I guess

[rpm boy]

IF it helps for the headlights, doubt they will fit properly like any other aftermarket ones though :p

it's been discussed many times...fits the same...but has different wiring...

iirc nepolian was going to give it a go...not sure whether he's done anything yet...

[FlyingChicken]

whereabout are you from? i'd suggest speaking to IMG (http://www.internationalmotorgroup.com.au) if you're in sydney...it's definitely BS that you can't import the FL one (maybe they can't themselves, but who knows)...

but yeah...like kongu said...it's probably going be too expensive to get a FL one nowadays thanks to the horrible exchange rate...i was just lucky enough to get mine while the dollar was strong

Melbourne! How is it up there in Sydney?

[EP3EVA]

what engine oil you guys are using and how many litre of oil you put in when changing oil?

[sai_ANN]

Melbourne! How is it up there in Sydney?

i'd suggest that you speak to IMG anyway...i'm sure they would be able to send one down to melbourne or you could always come up and collect it...

sydney is currently very gloomy and crappy weather for driving around... :(

[Mugen_B16B]

dont do that! u got genuine headlights there, unlike some other members along with myself who got EU headlights.....

[Philip Lee]

i use Castrol Edge 5w30 and will try the 0w40 for the next change.

u'll have a little left from a 5L bottle.

do u recommend redline?

[rpm boy]

lol...i did some unintentional wet weather drifting around a roundabout in my ED yesterday during the heavy rains...shitty tyres + wet roads = fun! ehehe...

Have u got a bigger sway bar at the rear of the ED? Ep3 has nice oversteer through a corner, power off a bit and the ass of it comes around.... fun IMO

[Philip Lee]

do u recommend redline?

never tried Redline engine oil.

but i have tried their gearbox oil in the past (not in the civic). seems alright but i wouldn't put it in my civic tho. heard horror story on clubitr.....

[rpm boy]

why do u want to put redline in it? get royal purple or go to honda and get it from there... spent more now and u wont have to rebuild your engine for a long time

[ITRDC2]

i think redline is not the cheap one at all, and actually redline is the most recommended engine oil i heard around

[chargeR]

I use Red Line and it works okay. I have used both 10W-30 and 10W-40 in my car for the last 2.5 years, 15 track days in all weather, and my car is yet to blow up. My car is on 125,000kms now and I started using it when it was on around 70,000kms.

Red Line is too expensive for daily use though, just use FEO and change it often.

My K20 isn't JDM though :p.

[Philip Lee]

find the option list (http://www.honda.co.jp/ACCESS/past/civic-r/index.html) for JDM EP3 if anyone is interested.

click on "modulo", "exterior" etc on the left.

[Perry]

spotted another ep3 this time its Silver

[Malenic1981]

Guys don't put redline oil in your EP3 gearboxes, I did and it wasn't good, I was lucky I only drove car for few kms other whise I could have fu#k up my box, I'm speaking from my own experience, I changed back to oem and no truble at all.

I am guessing you used the shockproof? I wouldn't put that blue crap in any gearbox unless it was being changed very often. Red Line MTL is quite good however.

[Malenic1981]

it was shockproof one, bloody expensive stuff but not good for EP3 box

[KaZe86]

dont do that! u got genuine headlights there, unlike some other members along with myself who got EU headlights.....


yeah it was a thought only i was thinking if i got the normal chrome ones i'd do it but yeah these are not that bad if anything ill buy a set

do you guys know if J's make a rear strut for our car? also if they have a rear sway bar or anything??

Cheers Steven

[Poeter]

no one dare to import facelifted EP3 nowadays, due to too expensive will set you 35k plus.

Wow, still 30k +?

I saw a white FL model, 2004 with 41000kms for 29k on carpoint.

[blk_shadow]
