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 :(

well thats good to hear mate :) now i feel better knowing that our cars windscreens can b replaced alot more easier now. Few of us went through headaches trying to find someone to fit our windscreen on. I was actually going to get a windscreen shipped from japan which was looking around the 2500 mark just to get 1 landed then ontop of that i would have to find someone to fit it.

Yeah set backs suck :( im actually going to b getting new clutch and mayb gears n syncro's for my box soon :(

Steven, is yr clutch slipping or u just want an upgrade?

Yeah its a different sort of worn clutch. My clutch doesn't slip cause the clutch isn't worn out to as if it is smooth. It's just low if you know what mean. The clutch point on my pedal is high aswell. N my car has done 80,000 klms now and has had a few track days n drag days. Also I think my worn clutch is part of my gear crunching problem. Driving around normally gear changing is fine but when I change at 8.5k rpm 2nd gear either won't go in and if I persist it crunches :(

Mines the same. It's different, it doesn't seem like it's slipping but with me, driving normally it still crunches at times. Especially 5th gear?!

29-09-2009, 08:52 PM

don't mean to be a smartass or anything, but i thought cars that come with hids factory standard should have an autoleveling system? otherwise it's too bright? if you have to adjust it manually, then it's the same as the civic vi's headlights?

most JDM hid doesn't have self leveling. It's a eu requirement which ADR adopted.

im using gruppe m,looks awesome cuz cf made, very direct pushing when vtec kicks,but other member thinks fujita/ingen CAI is a better choice, cuz they said they are cheaper and more power gain...i really dont know...im quite happy with my gruppe m, but when rains too hard like a few days ago in melb i always worry about water goes in...

hmm...thats true....its one of the most expensive kits and one of the reasons i'm going for it is the built. anyone has any problem with rain with this kit?

tbh gruppeM has a great deep sound awsome awsome build looks sexy as! water isnt a problem because there is a drain hole on the bottom for water to go through people even use high pressure sprays to clean car and spray in there no problems but yeah... just very expensive!! not sure about power gains but i think supersteve got 13kw from just the intake stock i think reading back somewhere...

ive got a injen cai was half the price awesome sound and cheap and i can feel a difference in throttle and high end more... but thats me i always wanted a gruppeM but couldent justify the price to go with it also apparently the gruppeM moves alot in the engine bay? as some other memebers have said but yeah in the end up to you mate one day ill get one perhaps lols

welcome to ozhonda btw and grats on a ep3 hope to see you around so many ep3s in melb now but al eastside ahahaha well most of them

I got gruppeM, got no probs with rain and I think it's prob the best there is (well better be for the $$$$ it costs hehe), power wise it's very good as well, lots of different reports but approx 10-15hp@wheels (depends on dyno) but you can feel the difference and sound is just sick hehe, they do move a bit but so far I had no problem with that at all, I think that's just the way they were design and made

yeah they do move abit but with a bit of moding u can make it sit nice. My plastic crawl that came with it now is starting to show some fade from sitting in the sun though. Gotta respray :(

Hey guys, I just checked my engine oil level out of curiosity and the oil level (after multiple readings coz I was like wtf?!) was at the very bottom of the dipstick! I topped it up with my remaining one litre of oil, but the oil level is still slightly below the 'minimum' marking on the dipstick so I'll need to buy more, soon.

What engine oils do you guys use and have you PERSONALLY got any opinions on the performance of any of the brands?

I'm currently using OEM Honda Performance Oil, 10W-30.

PS, its only been a month and a bit since I had the oil changed! (did about ~4000km )

stock are great, gathers makes quality stock speakers, if u wanna change the speakers get an amp aswell or dont bother, i changed my fronts and they sound like shit compared to stock so i put back the stock ones, plus when u guys remove the door trim, make sure to take the handle cover off properly cause the clips break easily and the rear are pretty simple, just a cover and ur done

The clip that connects the cable to the handle is probably not clipped in!

Hi All

I get a creaking noise from the steering column when I accelerate from a standing stop.

Anyone know what the cause of this is?

Hi All

Do you get the noise also when u turn ur steering wheel side to side ??

If this is the case then its most probably a steering rack issue. Common problem with ep3's. I had mine make a noise which got fixed up at hanny's. Basically all they did was lube up the steering rack to stop the noise. That noise u hearing is only a rubbing noise and is nothing to worry about. I got told by mechanic and read on uk honda type r forums that its not a safety issue and just a annoying noise. Some people in uk actually just drive with it and ignore it. But i hate noises so i got hanny's to fix it. Alot of ep3's in uk had this problem and got their steering rack replaced under warranty only to later on down the track get the same issue again with the new steering rack. If you are good with lubing ;););) and can b bothered all u need to do is pull back the rubber boot on ur steering rack and spray some lube inside. Not sure what lubricant hannys used cause it was done a while ago and i forgot :(

its something about the steering boot not being greased up enough.. has happened to me a few times.. WD-40 will fix it temporarily though?

How you doing Phil?

just got back from Osaka. brought a set of Tein Super Street back and checked in and it weighted 27.4kg + rear camber arms as well. so wonder what you guys run as alignment.

was pretty tiring trip with the kids. managed to sneaked off to a Honda dealer for some OEM parts and had a great time doing translation on my iphone app. in the end got most of the bits i wanted but they wouldn't sell me a damn red H key cos i couldn't supply a key code and they won't sell blank key.....

also managed to see a FD2R close up at the dealership but didn't ask for a test drive. never saw a EP3 at all for the whole week and spotted a few FD2R on the street (some CW ones and a black one).

food was awesome, stuff were pretty cheap and i rate Osaka over Tokyo.

thanks heaps for the info.

would the immobilisor thingy work as my car has OEM immobilisor?? can Honda Australia recode the car + old key + new key?

ITRDC2

12-10-2009, 11:56 AM

thats the problem...i dont think they can transfer the signal from ur immo into the key since the keys dont mean to make for fl ep3s...but u can try to ask the lock ppl,cuz since mine is 02 model and dont even have immo, so its pretty much plug and play, just that i cant get the fob functioned thats all, cuz i have a factory remote, so i will just keep using it, but cuz i really need the fob to sit in the key cuz without that there will be a few holes there lol

p.s: check where ur key chip is, whether its inside the key or its in ur remote, if in the remote, u should be fine i think

Philip Lee

12-10-2009, 11:59 AM

yeah, without the right coded key, my car won't start. that's why i want to get the geninue Honda key from Japan.

or get rape by the local honda dealer when they sell me a new key and recode the whole car.

ITRDC2

12-10-2009, 12:02 PM

i dont think they will recode ur car as honda dont touch import cars thats what i heard, and ur ecu is apparently jdm, so yeah...but still, u can try luck, if the key chip is in ur remote, i bet it will work

My facelift only came with one key and it has an immoboliser
i paid someone to code my key and all and genuine honda key.
i paid $99 or $90 includes laser cutting, coding and the key itself
i have called other places and it ranged from 120-150
some were just generic keys also

when they code your key they'll have to recode your actual key again

i think he's trying to transform the key into FD2R's one, so that would be another issue..

do you want a genuine honda key? or happy with the generic ones that look similar? most master locksmiths should be able to do it. and they just need the key.
