[SuperSteve]

[Mugen_B16B]

You all a bunch of hoons ! *cough* hey guys question, when u take ur first gear 2 redline and quick switch 2 second, does it go in smoothly or sometimes does it not want to go in and crunches ?
depends, sometimes it goes in smooth sometimes it doesnt and sounds fkd, i think my 1st and 2nd syncros r fked cause my friends type r and s both go in with ease, how much is it to get 1st and 2nd syncros replaced?

Anyone know where I can source this item the middle section of the bar which has been cut off for more flow to the radiator?

http://ekhatch.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/yellow-ep3-203816.jpg

[Mugen_B16B]

its a mugen radiator duct but there discontinued, u can get them in the states, one of the traders from there just finished fabricating one couple of weeks ago but i think it was goin for 400us or 500us, cause the genuine mugen price was something like 700-800us

[Mugen_B16B]

[Philip Lee]

[Mugen_B16B]

Mine wil look similar but with FL headlights

[Philip Lee]

3 digits only will cost at least $2k here.....

[SuperSteve]

hmmm that must b with a stock civic si header. Would b interesting to see what gain a ssr header would make over a jdm header.

[Nepolian]

hmmm that must b with a stock civic si header. Would b interesting to see what gain a ssr header would make over a jdm header.

^^Yep, gain would not be as much with JDM headers and also the get their readings from a hub dyno.......which reads higher again! realistic figure on JDM would be 3-5kwatw.....but its not always about peak power :thumbsup:

[Perry]

stick with stock I'll say

[Nepolian]

stick with stock I'll say

Yes and no, I gained 2-3 mph and dropped .2 secs down the quarter when I changed just the headers. I don't think my driving had improved that much :p

But, yes you're right in that it'd be one of the last things to change when modding. Having said that, I wouldn't go spending $$ on body bits either....but thats just me :)

[Perry]

hehehe body parts for me at the moment.

[blk_shadow]

do you guys know whether J's 3D GT wing requires to drill a hole on the OEM spoiler on EP3?

[SuperSteve]

anyone know how much i would b looking at if i were to get my 2nd gear syncro replaced ?? Also would it just b the same part out of a dc5r box or because our final drives are different its a different part ??

[SuperSteve]

hehehe body parts for me at the moment.

u can try ask jdm concept i think?cuz they are j's distributor

[Nepolian]

Same box as DC5R dude!....You can buy mine :p

[Mugen_B16B]

how much it normally cost to replcae syncros?

[i-vtec]

Yes and no, I gained 2-3 mph and dropped .2 secs down the quarter when I changed just the headers. I don't think my driving had improved that much :p

But, yes you're right in that it'd be one of the last things to change when modding. Having said that, I wouldn't go spending $$ on body bits either....but thats just me :)

on their site it says for jdm and ukdm ep3 to order the dc5 ssr headers.

from what your saying not much gains in headers as it will prolly be the last thing to mod before cams and all etc.

[EP3-R]

anyone know how much i would b looking at if i were to get my 2nd gear syncro replaced ?? Also would it just b the same part out of a dc5r box or because our final drives are different its a different part ??

also been thinking about 2nd gear syncro/ selector fork. Let me know how you go?

as for the DC5 matching, be sure to check the year as im pretty sure the facelifted model may have diff ratios.

[Nepolian]

Facelifted usually means that, new look not new parts...... 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear in all K20 6 speeds are the same and the rest only differ in final drive, lsd and 4,5,6 gear combos.

[gd1_nz]

hey guys, is anyone here running Bilstein adjustables on their ep3? If so, how would you rate them?

[Mugen_B16B]

i dun think anyone here has bilsteins, plus if u got a EU3 i wouldnt bother, just wasting ur time, better off with some tein ss or cusco's

[ITRDC2]

just heard that for the 01-02 jdm ep3 ecu doesnt have immobilizer, anyone knows?

[blk_shadow]

Dont think they come with it. Easiest way 2 tell is when u turn the engine off,is there a green key blinking light on ur cluster? And red blinking light continuously on ur dash?

[k0e1]

ok guys problem with coilovers again.. =='
After i adjusted the height as pictured

My mechanic goes to be that i cant raise it up since im missing one ring which apparently locks it, and although i have raised it up right now it will eventually fall back down. any comment on this? if so anyone know where i can get spare ring for the tein superflex

[Philip Lee]

Try fulcrum suspension for spare ring. They are the tein aus distributor. They can rebuild tein so they must have spare parts.

[Philip Lee]

Dont think they come with it. Easiest way 2 tell is when u turn the engine off,is there a green key blinking light on ur cluster? And red blinking light continuously on ur dash?

01-03 (ie pre fl) doesn't have the green light on the dash so they don't have o immobilisor.

The red light is most likely fitted during compliance.

[ITRDC2]

ok....if so what will happen if i change over all the key cores into the FL key cores(the laser cut ones)? will it allows me to start the engine?

Hi guys,

Currently going through the process of importing a 02' CW EP3R and I've read the whole......446 pages before I made my choice :P

From Melbourne btw, a bit of novice so hope I'll be learning a few things from you guys when I get my hands on that car haha.

Thinking of maybe writing up an 'import process experince' thread to help those in the future that are thinking of importing but dunno where to put it :P

[KaZe86]

hey guys has anyone changed their clutch yet ?? Im looking at getting a new clutch because i think mine is pretty worn. Anyone used excedy or orc ??

[Mugen_B16B]

i was told best one to go for which is still daily streetable is excedy organic

[Rai-C]

gg boys, i cracked my windshield! $$$$$$$$$ there goes mod money.

[Mugen_B16B]

i remember it was like 600 or so in sydney to get replaced, ask perry and supersteve, there was alot fo pages about this b4 u got an ep3

[Rai-C]

i got quoted 500ish plus fitting :(

[SuperSteve]

gg boys, i cracked my windshield! $$$$$$$$$ there goes mod money.

Ralph Moore auto glass in mascott. They were the only place that could do my windscreen n they done a top job !

[EP3-R]

i got quoted 500ish plus fitting :(

I got quoted a stupid price from Honda ($3100.00). Went through O'Briens who went through some supplier in SYD and it set me back $905.00 but my insurance covered the first $750.00. So $500.00 doesn't seem that bad. It did take about 2 months to actually get the screen though. Guys at Prestige motorsport I think may have a hook up.

[SuperSteve]

i was told best one to go for which is still daily streetable is excedy organic

Thanks mate. I'll check it out

[Rai-C]

getting one from obriens.. total cost inc. fitting = $504! not too bad.. honda quoted me $680ish NOT inc. fitting for a genuine one.. but i would have to wait 3-4 weeks. then the price of fitting would have raped me.

[Rai-C]

oh and i should add that i called them today, and im getting it tomorrow. very speedy.

so your going through Obrien? coz i remembered Steve tried them and they could get it or something coz the aussie model is different to ours.
Steve I finally booked mine to get it replaced heheheh

[Rai-C]

yeah apparently they had EP3 windshields in stock lol i was pleasantly surprised

[Perry]

hahaha about bloody time ! ! !

[SuperSteve]

hmmm that is a surprise. Just double check they arent confused with the EU model because o'brian did quote me to replacing my windscreen with the EU because they thought it was the same. I then asked what would happened if it didnt fit and they said i was stuck with the new windscreen. I went to check out a EU windscreen at a auto glass shop in campise and they measured out a spare EU windscreen to my ep3 and they were different. Just double check brother !

[Perry]

yeah apparently they had EP3 windshields in stock lol i was pleasantly surprised

I called at 4.30pm the dude got so confused isnt funny about the windscreen.
Me: " just want to know if you have an replacement windscreen for a 2003 model 3 door Civic Type R"
Operator: "Yes we do"
Me: " Can you double check if its for the 3 door or 5 door"
Operator: "It only came in 5 door for a honda civic"
Me: "So your telling me you dont have one for a Honda civic 2003 3 DOOR CIVIC TYPE R"
Operator: "Sure we do but its for a 5 door"

I gave up LOL
enough said.

[KaZe86]

correct me if im wrong im not sure where i heard it from but yeah not sure!

[Mugen_B16B]

+50 abit to much around 35-45

and steven u will need new rails

[ITRDC2]

yeah a guess so....ok now can say bye bye to a set of that comes with ad07 used only 1 yr.....

[Mugen_B16B]

spacers might work but not very safe

[white_ep3_civic]

Hey, just wondering if Whiteline's DC5 front Camber bolts will work on our EP3's?

Here (http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail.php?part_number=KCA416)

Also, without any mods, is it possible to run any sort of negative camber on the front? (say, -0.5 degrees?)

the fixed back brides should be ok as they are side mounted but the reclinable ones need different rails as they are mounted from the bottom.. I have a bride zeta II in my drivers side but its got a bride rail but looking at it, it looks as though the standard seat will work with it as they are side mount as well. What are you doing with your standard seat??? i need one.

[KaZe86]

hey thanks for the reply i have yet to get a bride i might be getting one thats all just wanted to know if i could use the standard rail but seems i cant so yeah maybe i wont get the seat unless someone from melb has one i tend to like to get stuff straight away hate waiting!! lols

obriens actually called me back to confirm it was a '3 DR EP3 Honda Civic Type R IMPORT' and it was a perfect fit! side moulding rubber thingos are pretty worn out though.. umm steve was the campsie place 'campsie windscreens' or something, some asian lady named dorothy runs the place? cos thats where IMG pointed me to go first, but thier aftermarket supplier gave the impression that they werent getting any EP3 windscreens in anytime soon due to low demand!

so yeah, all is done, i have a new windscreen and it only set me back $524 lol it was $504 then an extra $20 for the top moulding. i could've had my INJEN CAI by now :(

[Mugen_B16B]

sucks when there are setbacks lol

Ebay probably the best and quickest..

[Mugen_B16B]

make sure its the folding ones if u wanna keep it stock and genuine haha

[Rai-C]

unless you didnt get a c-package one.. then it'd just be wierd having one folding side mirror lol

[Twest]

I only need the actual mirror inside, not the whole housing. I will check ebay, helpful as always ozhonda forum goers :)

[Mugen_B16B]

np, we r nice people dont be afraid to ask ur one of us now lol

[pair08]

hi boys

more questions hope you don't mind :)

- trust the japs haha my car only has one key (no fob or second) now i know this might have been covered earlier but with the fob i'm not fussed coz i'll get an aftermarket alarm but the key do i need to take it to honda australia to get it key? (i have pre-fl model)

- can anymore confirm the 'civic' badge on the rear is the same badge as the EU3/sedan badge as mine comes debadged and it looks sort of empty haha wanna get it replaced.

cheers boys

[Mugen_B16B]

badge is the same so ur sweet there

the key is a problem cause i got the same problem, but i got a key thats been cut but no chip in the key but a separte unti which has the chip in it to click on the imoobilizer, so id go to a jay car or elctrical car place and get a few copies and get some keys cut, thats wat i did
