EP3 Type R

[wtfhax]

Ohh also guys. With the FL Grille. I'll go to the panel beater tommrow and take a picture...since the car is still there..YAWN!..and show you guys. It's grey rather than black and has a slightly different grille pattern.

How come they didnt get the type r grill?

[Twest]

How come they didnt get the type r grill?

It's A type R grille, just not the prefl one...since it's been superseded they cannot get the grille from it any more..doesn't make sense to me personally.

[Rai-C]

engine mount installation? best method?

[Mugen_B16B]

getting a forklift to help out with the mounts is the best investment yet LOL

nah jks, i did it myself, sides are easy just have something support ur engine so it doesnt sag down when u remove and put in new mount, for the rear, i got rope tied it around something behind the motor to lift it forward so that when u undo the bolts for the bracket and rear mount it should lift abit enough for u to remove and place in the new mount for bolting up

hope that helps

[icecrm]

[Perry]

I'd like the extra 1k in my pocket :p

Same George.

[Nepolian]

Yeh but I don't want to have to pay out $2000 for an ecu.

But u would get atleast get your monies worth. You'd end up having to cough up over 1k for e-managed tuned and then wished you'd gotten a kpro. U could get a k100 and save a little.

[white_ep3_civic]

What difference would it make between the e-manage ultimate and the kpro, if the car has minor mods?

[c01567]

[mtonep3]

What difference would it make between the e-manage ultimate and the kpro, if the car has minor mods?

[white_ep3_civic]

I don't see any major harm just don't give it too much and it will make the gear box feel crap when trying to select gears. Bit get it changed as soon as you can.

[Antv]

Hey guys i just bought an EP3 and very happy with it :)

will 6"x9" fit in the rear speaker stock area?

[denrie]

I don't think it does. I think only 6" and 6.5".

[Antv]

Cheers mate

[Philip Lee]

6 will fit but 6.5 might need some chunky spacer.

Regardless spacers will be needed becos of the oddball oem speaker hole.

[Nepolian]

As most of you know, I've had my car for a while and its hard parked as.....right!?

Well.....thought I'll give it a little drive this morning to the shops to get some milk!

Parked it far from any other car, walked 30m into a shop. 5 mins later come back and someone had nudged the front bar! Theres a gash in my lip and paint scraped off the bar.......

Seriously, there is no word that I can use to describe my rage!!

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[mizone]

Has anyone managed to fit 6" into the fronts without too much modification?

[Mugen_B16B]

6 inch will fit straight in depending on the magnet sizeu might need spacers, 6.5 is bigger so u def need spacers

was it just ur lip or the whole front bar?

[mizone]

Anyone have any pics of their setup? I don't want to do too much modification to the doors, but would like the extra quality of the 6.5 over the 5.25's.

[Philip Lee]

That sux George. U probably need some protectors on the front like the rear.

U just need spacer to fit speakers. Unless u have crazy big magnets. Just cut up some mdf and bolt it on. Get some stick on foam to seal the gaps while u are at it.

Btw just transfer my iPod cable from glove box to the center console. Much easier than I thought.

[white_ep3_civic]

Anyone have any pics of their setup? I don't want to do too much modification to the doors, but would like the extra quality of the 6.5 over the 5.25's.

The only difference will be the bass you can get. The 5.25 will not be as deep but will be the only difference. The front doors will need modifications as aftermerket speakers have a much bigger magnet than the stock ones are very small.

George that sucks sorry to hear that.

[Philip Lee]

I didn't need to mod the front door to fit my alpine 6" splits, just need spacers as I said.

[Perry]

Hey guys i just bought an EP3 and very happy with it :)

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone here has swapped out their headunits in their ep3s? How did you do it? I don't want to mess up the dash trying to remove it.

Thanks

[white_ep3_civic]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone here has swapped out their headunits in their ep3s? How did you do it? I don't want to mess up the dash trying to remove it.

Thanks

U gotta pull the panel around the gear shifter first then the panel around the headunit. This will then give u access to all the wiring.

[JohnO]

Hey antv were you the guy who had a look at the ep3s last week on Thursday?

[Philip Lee]

U gotta pull the panel around the gear shifter first then the panel around the headunit. This will then give u access to all the wiring.

alternatively u can take out your glove box and squeeze your left hand in and push the gear shift panel from the back.

[BongStyle]

ok, thanks for the help guys i'll give it a go.

[Philip Lee]

ok, thanks for the help guys i'll give it a go.

There are 2 screws at the base of the HU dash metal frame. have fun removing that lol.

[Perry]

I was so lucky there was no HU when I bought mine.

[Philip Lee]

still no HU now?

[Perry]

still no HU now?

Nah nah I got one now.

[Philip Lee]

so your car had the HU removed in japan or it never came with one??

[derby23]

hey phil, the pens you mentioned for scratches that you got from japan, what brand are they?

[Perry]

Headunit was out when i got it.

[Philip Lee]

hey phil, the pens you mentioned for scratches that you got from japan, what brand are they?

sorry mate, i seriously can't remember.

but i have used it abit and honestly it's not very good. the paint is water based and very thin so it doesn't cover up too well and need to reapply a few coats.

i wouldn't bother getting them unless u're in japan. just go to a local smash repair and ask them to do up a small can for you.

[Philip Lee]

Headunit was out when i got it.

but you still need to pull everything out to install HU right?


Wow, exactly what i was looking for. Was wondering how to remove that centre console. Thanks Phil.

no worries.

there are a lot of information on UK forums such as this one (http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/).

[derby23]

oh cool. thanks man!

[QUOTE=Philip Lee;2645861]but you still need to pull everything out to install HU right?

Hey guys i just bought an EP3 and very happy with it :)

[wtfhax]

Hey guys somethings wrong... when i start the car and when its nearly warm, the engine just revs by itself between 1-2.5k rpm like someone is tapping the accelerator every second (hunting?). So i turned the car off and then it wouldn't start. Tried to start it again 2 hrs later and same revving thing happened. What to do now?

[Nepolian]

Have you done any mods?

Sounds like an air leak! ie... vacuum line off.

I've got an injen cai and mine does the same at times but on when it's cold. I just assumed it was just cold

Really?! When I started in cold it would idle like stock airbox.. starting at ~2k and just go down slowly, and that was it...

So I dont think its just cold start and/or cold weather. (it was warm today anyway haha)

[Nepolian]

Just check all the rubber hoses mate :)

Regardless of weather or temp, the idle should not fluctuate like that!

[p3p5y]

If in doubt, take it to Hanny's. When I was getting a service done, a guy in an EK had the exact same idling issue as yours, wtfhax and brought it in to be fixed. Didn't stick around to find out what the issue was though.

[SuperSteve]

i saw a black ep3 going down horsley drive 2night prob around 6:45 ish. Anyone from here ?? was at smithfield

[wtfhax]

Just reading the UK forums and most say to go for a drive and hope it sorts itself out or to clean the idle control valve.

Anybody done this?

Sports organic feels almost stock.....wouldn't know it unless you're told!

Just use Honda MTF, unless you track your car all the time!

Yep, i love it! lol when your at the red light next to someone they froth nuts

And are you serious that it feels stock? shattered. My mechanic said it should be like 20% harder to push... hmmmm

[Jibz]

Wondering if anyone know whether the Buddy Club Short Shifter for our car is a shorter throw than our Type R's, or if its just shorter relative to stock Civic Si's (in the states).

[lil_foy]

Aslong as there is enough clamping pressure it's fine.

[Philip Lee]

Wondering if anyone know whether the Buddy Club Short Shifter for our car is a shorter throw than our Type R's, or if its just shorter relative to stock Civic Si's (in the states).

u want a shorter throw??

i find the stock pretty good already. i hate having to use higher force to change gear as some short shifter requires.

[typeRr]

haha **** it, you gotta pay to play anyway. im just shattered that my clutch started playing up on the same day my rego came home! ANOTHER 600 ****!

[SuperSteve]

I use MTF06 in my gearbox and I personally reckon it works great. Ive tracked my car twice with the stuff aswell and it holds up great under my sloppy driving. People say I hoon aswell so I say it works great under them conditions aswell. Having said all that I haven't used any other box oils

[denrie]

I got the Exedy Sport Organic clutch. It's only abit harder than stock. Didn't really feel a difference but mine shatters when it's cold. It bites abit better than stock but not really much difference.

[BongStyle]

guys im looking for a kpro!! anyone selling? :P keep an eye out for me!

[Jibz]

u want a shorter throw??

i find the stock pretty good already. i hate having to use higher force to change gear as some short shifter requires.

No, don't want a shorter throw, but I'm interested to know because my stock shifter seems to have a bit of play in it, I put in some shifter bushings but while it helped give a more solid feel when slotting in a gear, the wriggling at any point seems to be the urethane ball thats slightly worn after all the use.

http://www.uleiauto.ro/phpeuri/oiluri/elf/1076.pdf

did u use to use mtf plus or mtf06 ?? mtf plus was the one which i found made my gear changing pretty rough. MTF06 fixed that

[Mugen_B16B]

06 wasnt that great imo, it made the shifting abit smoother but still didnt get into 2nd as smooth, i think its prob my syncros

[Philip Lee]

my 2nd was a bit rough and i greased up the shift thingy while installing HU and it made it better.

[Mugen_B16B]

yeh thing bout this oil is at cold its still smooth and once its warmed up its even better but personal preference i guess, u should try some phil

[c01567]

[Mugen_B16B]

happy CNY bois! have u guys heard bout if its ur year [say im a tiger and its the year of the tiger] do u get alot of badluck? my sister told me this but i reckon its not true

[Perry]

I heard the same thing but I'm not year of the Tiger. Bad luck will hit eventually if you believe in it.

[Rivenscyr]

thought that when it was your animals year..it was meant to be goodluck?
im a rooster and last year was the worst for me, broke my foot 3 times in a row

[mtonep3]

I think it doesn't matter if it is ur year or not. But every year it's different, for example, where if your horse your best year is snake. And your worse year is mouse. Anyway it's all a myth :) nothing to worry about just wait and see what comes then ud know if The year is good or not :)

[Mugen_B16B]

touch wood and hope for the best hahaha
