hey guys i just noticed now that when i turn and go over some little bumps it makes like a clunking rattling noise from the right side sorta... i thought it was the ETD but it never happen last time just started and now when i give it some 1st = 2nd it sorta just hops all the way

could the problem be

ETD
steering rack
shit tyres
cv joints/boot

any ideas?

i still have warrenty so yeah any help would be appreciated

btw i tried to tighten the ETD cuz it was loose and i found that the sound was still there

Cheers Steven

[burak213]

hey boys i fcuked up my tie end rod bolts changing my springs today

whats the part number or proper name to go honda and buy a new one?

Steve, have you checked if anything loose underneath? and also checked the rubber boot on your tie rod end, if that splits that will create clunking sound.

rattling is prolly worst case scenario is driveshafts gearing near where your hub is. but hopefully not that. I've rebuilt my driveshafts cos of those gears f*cked from track days.

The nut or actual tie rod end?

If bolt, you can get it from auto one :)

Its M12/14 x 1.25/1.5 cant exactly remember. I think its the M12.

EP3 tie rod end is smaller than DC5 :(

[blk_shadow]

BTW.....EP3 and DC5 rod ends are different :(

yep, Ep3's are the same as EU civic's one

hey steven had the same thing happen to night, check ur mounts cause once i changed my mounts it was all sweet, could be the motor hoping out of place from the mounting position, check for leaks to cause if u still got stock then id be checking them

So its not hard? I'm just not the most gifted person when it comes to installing/uninstalling stuff. Might have a look this weekend. I've been keen to remove the foggies since I got the car but just haven't been assed :)

nah, just post up couse it look pretty good!!


Yo guys I got it on my car. I just removed a set of DC5 brembos and replaced with Modulo brakes. I can feel slight changes, the dc5 brembo produce a softer braking, while the modulo brakes produce a sharper braking. Both brake system are consider good, except if I were to go on tracks, I personally would prefer the modulo brakes with a more instant braking, especially when i'm on high speed. :wave:


Brief Reviews:
1. The modulo brake pad is slight larger than the dc5 brembo. The modulo brake pad measures: 118mm L x 72mm H. The DC5 brembo pads measures: 118mm L x 62mm H.
2. Since the pads is larger in height, this means the braking surface is also larger measuring from the edge of the center hat to the edge of the rotor disc.
3. And since there is larger braking surface and larger pads, this also means that modulo 4-piston has at least 10% enhancement in compare to the DC5 brembo.

Now I got a set of used dc5 brembos, anyone interested? :cool:

hey guys im looking into getting a ep3 and got a noob question can the dc5 mugen twinloop fit onto the ep3? or would you need minor changes cause i've seen one at a dealer around lansvale with a twinloop

[Philip Lee]

Mid pipe is identical between DC5 and EP3 but axle back isn't.

actually from header to mid pipe, they're the same.

but i guess anything can be made to fit.......

[air23box]

the tip and the muffler are different in length.......DC5's tip is longer.....

Realistically, an CAI would be the most effective when it comes to power per dollar ratio. But some people don't like the aesthetics of a CAI and prefer the bling of the GruppeM, each to their own I suppose.

[Perry]

If your going for mugen coz of the brand than dont forget to get the mugen grill to make the most of the intake.. but its only for bling i guess.

I have a fujita CAI installed now and i am very happy with it. However i am a bit curious about the significant improvement in terms of power by using gruppem. i believe that is the most talked/popular topic in this thread.:)

[Perry]

It use to be injen now GruppeM... different people with different preferences i guess.

[questera]

yup i have a mugen kit installed. That is apparently my only reason of getting the mugen intake. i want to keep it to 1 brand.

[questera]

do you have either one of them in your ep3 Perry?

[Perry]

For the Ep3 I'm usuing injen... would love to try GrumppM or mugen later but more leaning towards M dude to the bling.

[mtonep3]

anybody here using mugen intake in their ep3 rather than Gruppe m?

I have a mugen intake!

[Philip Lee]

no way i'd spend $1.2k for an intake. particularly the fitment issue of the Gruppe M with EP3 (i must add Gruppe M on some cars are good tho, eg Euro, M3 etc)

as Nepolian said, CAI is the best gain/value. i got Fujita becos it was $100 cheaper than Injen at the time. and $399 vs $1200, i can't justify 3x the cost for CF bling + a few kw here and there. plus i don't mind the hole in the engine bay.

would love to find a way to run a pipe for the CAI tho. it seems quite difficult.

:thumbsup:True philip. i might keep my CAI for a bit longer then. i should save my money and stop upgrading unnecessary things

[Nepolian]

I've had both (CAI-GruppeM-CAI again) and I can tell you that there is no gain in having the GruppeM. I loved it (bling) but no performance gain over the CAI.

[white_ep3_civic]

Hi I not sure if anyone can help. But I have found 2 error code on my ep3r. One code is P1298 and P0138. One is causing an engine light to come up. If anyone can help that would be great.

tell me get you got T1R catback with it too...they look hot ass.

[Mugen_B16B]

heard the catback its stock size so i dun really wana bother, plus this test pipe resonates the sound along act as a test pipe so its all good sleep sound with more gain

- need to get some engine mounts whats the best? innovative billet ones?
- headers?

what should i get?
i need the mounts so theyre essentiall and top of list
- what else to get some power? are headers my best option? anything else?

[ITRDC2]

sell ur mugen airbox lol, sell ur mugen twinloop, get some gd intake as many of the people here been mention about the CAI and get some better exhaust imo

[Philip Lee]

Not sure how good is the fcon. Maybe get a dyno run to see if the tune is good first.

Maybe consider a retune.

Or sell the fcon and buy a hondata ecu.

Does your car have any sussy mod? Maybe u can consider that. Modding a NA for power give litter gain and since you have a pretty decent setup already u might want to focus on other areas.

maybe some headers to go with the exaust and a highflow cat, mounts wise u got a few brands to chose from avid, innovative [steel or billet but both do the same ones just more bling], hasports but there 62A which isnt much more compared to the rest which are 60A or if u really wanted racey track spec then 70A +

yehh i check out the headers but there a bit pricey for decent ones, i found some cheap OBX ones but the reviews i read are all bad lol. Buddyclub had some for around 800. Can anyone recommend me any around the 500 dollar mark if there available?

500 = crap cheap headers, good headers sit around the 900+ mark, buddyclub for 800 is a good price, maybe try T1r headers? jdm yard gets these babies in

[Philip Lee]

cool let me know cheeers:thumbsup:

i have asked him to PM you.

so mugen twinloop isnt the best exhaust for the ep3 guys? what other exhausts do you reccomend on getting?

The money u spend on a mugen exhaust you wont get much power gain thats pretty much sums up everything.

[Perry]

Cheers dude

[Philip Lee]

you won't get a lot of gain tuning a NA car period (unless you spend big $$).

you may gain 10-15awkw from a cat back + CAI, a bit more with cams, some more with ECU + tune but we're talking about $4-5k already.

the difference between different branded exhausts are probably 5kw at the most.....

[Mugen_B16B]

stock headers are prob better then cheap aftermarket ones, id just sell ur hks ecu and get a k-pro

[Philip Lee]

stock headers are prob better then cheap aftermarket ones

x 2.

the stock header seems a well designed piece, equal length and stuff.

[JohnO]

could i ask what exhaust you guys running at the moment

[Mugen_B16B]

hey guys i cant rmeber how far back but who had the issue of knocking noise from the headers or exaust because they werent hung up properly or something like that, last night i gave it a go in 1st then shifted then big knock noise then i was like wtf.... but does anyone no the exact problem?

[Mugen_B16B]

could i ask what exhaust you guys running at the moment
stock, overall id get CAI then exaust after, no point goin exhaust with stock intake or if u want go get urself a t1r test pipe, its resonated so its quiet and will give abit of gain

[Philip Lee]

could i ask what exhaust you guys running at the moment

kakimoto mid + spoon street muffler

[Nepolian]

Sorry guys, stock header are good, however most aftermarket ones, cheap or not would out perform it. The obx ones are actually quite good in terms of performance but just lacking in quality. But having said that, still very good value for money. (Yes, I have fitted one to a car).

Headers would be at the bottom of the list in terms of mods for EP3. Order IMO would be;

1) INTAKE
2) 60 to 75mm cat back
3) Save up and do headers, high flow cat, RBC and ECU together so you only have to do one tune (maybe throw in stage 1-2 cams). This would depend on how much you want to spend!

I can tell you that there is no difference between GruppeM and CAI. People will argue with me, all I can say is some people like brand and bling, some people like mods that work.

Engine mount movement.......its getting a little repetitive!

or badly fitted exhaust.........more likely to be ^

[Philip Lee]

i thought he just did the mounts??

his exhaust is stock.....

[Mugen_B16B]

yeah mounts were done 2 monthish ago, my guess is the exhaust....

also whats the diff between rbc to stock ep3 ones?

[ep3_ctr]

anyone no what power diff would be between a gutted cat and sumfn like a T1R test pipe? Also noise diff?

[denrie]

kakimoto mid + spoon street muffler

How does the Spoon Street Type muffler sound? Loud?

[Nepolian]

yeah mounts were done 2 monthish ago, my guess is the exhaust....

also whats the diff between rbc to stock ep3 ones?

What mounts/exhaust you got?

RBC is about 5kwatw when tuned.


anyone no what power diff would be between a gutted cat and sumfn like a T1R test pipe? Also noise diff?

Gutted cat and test pipe the same principle! straight through without restriction. Test pipes are used generally for track/drag etc and can be swapped with a cat.....where as a gutted cat (decat) is more permanent.

[icecrm]

What is rbc?

[icecrm]

So nepolian, based on what you have said, would I be able to go to.....I dunno my local carline mufflers and got them to concoqed some headers up it would be okay?

How does the Spoon Street Type muffler sound? Loud?

Not at all. Just slightly louder than stock.

No, I wouldn't go as far as to say have one knocked up. Realistically, it'd cost you alot more to do that anyway!

TE37 is nicer on EP3. looks more bulky and fat. :D

spec wise is quite aggresive.

F: 17x7.5 ET+30 215/45/17
R: 17x8.5 ET+40 235/45/17

u can have the wider wheels at the front for track use.

i think for the currency now, u can get the mugen lip shipped and also pain job done together for 1k, but i really doubt the grill will be that exp, i think something about 500 u can get it shipped, but imo for the grill u dont need to get genuine :) but seriously front lip u need genuine, cuz only genuine come with the Mugen metal plate right in the front, for that metal plate there isnt any aftermarket copies around as far as i know :)

Sydney people, where do u guys get insurance?? Shannons wouldn't insure my friend and he doesn't wanna go with Justcar. Any other options???

Thx

[sai_ANN]

shannons won't insure him? why?

if i remember correctly...somebody on here is insured with NRMA?

[SuperSteve]

ive tried to get insured by shannons but they said no because im under the age of 25

[Philip Lee]

My friend is in his thirties, clean history and car nut. We dun understand y shannons rejected him (twice). Both times he spoke to female staffs (dunno if that matters) but we r lost.....

[sai_ANN]

ive tried to get insured by shannons but they said no because im under the age of 25

i got my insurance before i was 25 and all they told me was that i would have to pay an age excess (like extra $600 or something) if i had an accident


My friend is in his thirties, clean history and car nut. We dun understand y shannons rejected him (twice). Both times he spoke to female staffs (dunno if that matters) but we r lost.....

that's strange...did he try dropping names of car forums etc? try talking about doing driving courses etc?

[EGBOY]

can someone help me by posting up some common signs that my engine mounts r gone?
i kept thinking it was my exhaust touching underneath, but it seems to be gettin worse...

At the start they ask a few questions... if you fail them then yeah they will reject ya.

[Philip Lee]

WTF it seems like a job interview. My fd talked about owning a few performance cars in the past, doing track days, being forum members, going on cruises, modding and watching F1 etc etc. What more do u need really? Owning a goggo mobile or v8s????
Going to summernats???

^ maybe went a bit far?

Actually apart from the track day bit, all others are true.

True, but Shannons try to stick to the more historic and exotic cars where Just cars are the imports and modifieds. They obviously have different criterias when it comes to deciding cost of premiums.

speaking about another meet george. Me and gf went back to bbq mine for round 2. Im soooooooooooo bloody stuffed im gonna throw up ! !

When I clean my recaro's I just use Sugar soap mixed with water, does a really good job. Stain from jeans remove straight away.

[Rai-C]

yeah i wasnt sure about how to clean them because i didnt want that red to fade :(
ill definitely look into the steam cleaner if the sugar soap fails!

sugar soap sounds a bit simpler :P haha

Need some help ordering the right brake pads.

Read earlier on this post that EP3 uses the same pads as S2000, just wanted to confirm that and that its the same for the rear pads. I'm ordering QFM pads which uses bendix part numbers and bendix unfortunately don't have DC5R on their website but they do have S2000.

[Philip Lee]

Are u getting the HPX or A1RM? I thinking of getting a set of QFM too.

[Nepolian]

S2K and you cant go wrong!

Bendix catalog is spastic!

[ep3ken]

Are u getting the HPX or A1RM? I thinking of getting a set of QFM too.

I'm getting K750, can't remember the old name for it anymore but its the higher spec of the 2. I'm gonna check on stock today, its $145 for front pair + shipping ($10).

shelf that idea, guess its Ferodo DS2500 or TS2000 then *Sigh*

just to make sure, so S2K for both front and back??

it looks like Bendix has nothing for DC5R on their website. strange.

anyway i'm asking my supplier and have given him the info for S2000. see how it goes.

failing that i'll get some Project Mu B-Spec.

[Philip Lee]

ok my supplier has come back and he is selling A1RM for $119 per axle + $8 shipping (free if buying front and rear together). (price might be different for S2k pads tho)

the Bendix parts number he quoted was:

Front : DB1206 Rear : DB1142

but according to Bendix site, front pad for S2k is DB1452.

apparently he said DB1206 is for "DC5 Type-R Aus-Non Brembo", while DB1452 (ie. S2k front) is for "DC5 Type-S".

anyone can confirm which 1 to get for Ep3?

thanks

I think your supplier is telling you fibs DB1206 fits DC2R and Prelude VTi-R, i tried putting in the DB1206 last night and it is alot bigger. The diagram for S2000 on the bendix website matches my front pads. DB1142 only comes in K500 but will fit i've been told.

u dont like Ferodo DS2500 ??

[ep3ken]

u dont like Ferodo DS2500 ??

No Ferodo DS2500 are great apart from the price tag, $246 for Ferodo DS2500 compared to $145 (well for DB1206s) for QFM K750 A1RM.

$246 was the quote I got from Race Brakes, if you know of a cheaper supplier let me know :wave:

[SuperSteve]

is it Ralph moore in Mascot? the windscreen does cost a fortune ey? just got quoted $700 to replace them.

Ralph Moore in Mascot is the mob that replaced my windscreen. They did a top job aswell. I got mine done for 660. Was happy paying 660 because originally it was looking like 2600 to get a windscreen delivered from japan. ALSO windscreen obrian wanted me to pay 1000 bucks for a EU model windscreen, which if it didnt fit i was stuck with it.

[Nepolian]

I just fitted a set of pads in my car yesterday. The box says S2000! AFAIK all S2000 pads have been the same and is EP3/DC5 non brembo calipers. As for a particular "Bendix" part number, I don't know. But a logical conclusion would be that its the same as their listing for a S2000.

[Mugen_B16B]

hi all, im changing gear box oil tmr, which one do u guys recommend to go ?plz let me know!thx
oem, heard that k20 gb's are very fussy when it comes to oil, thats y some ppl use redline and stuff and find out there having problems with there syncros and bearings, so id assume honda would no whats best for there boxes so id stick to oem

also funny thing is that im doin mine tmr aswell lol, was gonna do today but i had to do some erins for dad so car was hot so didnt both, got tmr off so yeah

i agree with u there, last time i asked for ek brake pads and the guy was like we got ek1 sedan, hatch, ek4, i was like uhhh there all the same size but they all had different part no.

[Mugen_B16B]

also 4got to ask for those who have done there brake pads, did they flush there brake fluid? might do the brakes tmr while im at it, is it the same way u do for ek, from back to front?

[blk_shadow]

ok can you give me the exact spec and oil type from honda? as i said my mechanic said honda ask him to buy to different oil and mix together become the type-r gear box oil....

what? I've never heard about mixing 2 types of oil to make an oil for type R's box. DC5R and FN2R and DC2R uses the OEM Honda gearbox oil without mixing it up with the other oil......

who is your mechanic? I might ask him about this...

[Philip Lee]

I used the Honda gb oil too and no need to mix.

the names Damian and Im in the market of buying a ep3.
does anyone know wheres the best place to try and import one or does anyone have a friend or know of anyone who is selling one?
Im really interested preferably a 03 or a 04 model.
any help or advice on how to go about looking for one would be very appreciated.

thank you all.

P.S. i live in the Sydney.

here comes another for the sydney crew lol, maybe brisbane & melb join forces! jks
yeah look on carsales quite a few from syd and img has them occasionally

[damoqupak]

whats IMG? I'll google it.
I have looked at car sales but there isn't much. just two to chose from and I think it's a bit expensive. I though that a 02 model would go for 25k or less nowadays due to the financial crisis and also age of the car but i guess such a quality machine keeps it's value.

thanks Guys. I'll check out IMG and see what I can find.

does anyone know about this Tim guy in Kensington? dont know how he can sell a ep3 that's done only 24 kilometers. a minimum import is 40 kilometers.
maybe it's a typo but thes two ep3s ive seen on sale since the begining of the year.

im checking IMG out now and they have one ep3 for sale. looks nice. also has anyone heard of top sercret imports?

thanks heaps everybody.

[icecrm]

not always friend. I got my EP3 with 27k on the dial

[damoqupak]

dead set? nice..
where did you get your ep3 from?

thats one of the main reason I want to get one.. to hear it scream.. dam near jizzed my self everytime i watch top gear and hear it been ripped up..
ok maybe gone a bit too far there but I'm just so dam excited about getting one.

[icecrm]

i got mine from edward lee on parra road near the M4. they have one there i think. But i think there duech bags. Went through so much crap getting the car. But at the end of the day, im a happy EP3 owner

[icecrm]

well not owner, as my fiance owns the car, but a happy driver as i never let her drive hahahahaha.

[Philip Lee]

km is only a guide, always check condition.

EP3 is fairly reliable except for the usual engine mounts/steering column noise (both easy to fix) and becos K20 uses timing chain, this isn't an issue.

ps. another :thumbsup: for IMG

[damoqupak]

good avice. thanks heaps for that Phillip.

yeah so far IMG is looking good.

[damoqupak]

good advice thanks heaps Phillip. appreciate it heaps.

hey i just went to honda and bought the gb oil today and then i went back to prepare to get my mechanics done the oil changing and they said they are sure that some honda technicans advice them to mix some other oil with the honda oil for the honda engines with LSD......end up they advice me to try the new product come out from Motul called something FF cant remember, they design for the honda engine with lsd which basically the type-r engines....

hey i just went to honda and bought the gb oil today and then i went back to prepare to get my mechanics done the oil changing and they said they are sure that some honda technicans advice them to mix some other oil with the honda oil for the honda engines with LSD......end up they advice me to try the new product come out from Motul called something FF cant remember, they design for the honda engine with lsd which basically the type-r engines....
load of sh*t, i was just at honda and ask them and they said lsd or not, doesnt matter, there prob just trying to sell motul to u cause there prob a motul dealer and trying to sell there product rather then u bring ur own, most ppl i no with k20 lsd boxs all use oem honda gb oil

no we all know each other and they didnt force me to do so, just that the advice, and they are happy to put the honda oil for me, and they mainly do castrol and red line actually.

yeah true but its always good to know what you've done to the car yourself..

buying a moded car is cheaper but I want to do my own thing to it.
