That looks really good Phill

[Twest]

That gauge looks really cool, I've wanted something that had a range thingy in it, I just like knowing how much further i can go without filling up. :)

[white_ep3_civic]

Does anyone no if the speed limiter can be taken off without a new ecu? I want to to the shift track day and don't want a crappy lap time cause of the limiter. Thanks

[Philip Lee]

i think device like Apexi RSM works but i'm not 100% sure if it'll work on the EP.

[Nepolian]

[JohnO]

hey guys finally got my ep3 today and i was wondering is there just 2speakers in the car? looks pretty wierd though. might have a good run through later tonite and have a look at everything but yeah best car ive driven! better than my sister's lude

[wtfhax]

2 front and 2 in the back

[Mugen_B16B]

2 front 2 back is pretty much sidebyside with the seat, maybe y u cant here it

[Philip Lee]

Ep3 speakers are optional so the previous owner might just fit the fronts.

Best way to find out is to adjust the fader off the headunit.

[JohnO]

alright thanks guys gonna have a fiddle now

[Rivenscyr]

i called up IMG today, from what ive been reading in earlier posts, i expected a nice girls voice. instead i got gavin :/
i was thorougly dissapointed

xD

[JohnO]

ahaha yeah man everytime you call up img gavin answers the phone. i missed out seeing the girl when i picked up my car today :(:(:(:(:(

[Rivenscyr]

so what does she do there? far out, i want to head out there.. but i know as soon as i see an ep3. Ill want it. = bye bye to my savings :/

[JohnO]

i think she does secretary work? maybe jap interp? who knows but one thing for certain, she is cute!

yeh when i walked into the warehouse today 2 extra ep3s sitting there but i think its been bought. worth the money riven fun and fuel efficient if im sensible.

[Rivenscyr]

i drive an automatic 4wd. you have no idea how much i want one :/
but ive gotta keep the pajero for a couple more months, then dad will let me sell haha

[Jibz]

My car came stock with regards to power mods so I doubt I have a aftermarket ECU, but my car isn't limited to 180km/h.

[wtfhax]

hey guys finally got my ep3 today

did you get the one with the blackened headlights and ambers?

[white_ep3_civic]

You wont hit 180 at wakey :(

Steve hits about 165kph and me at about 173kph.........with a stockish EP3 you should be right :thumbsup:

That sucks! I had a look at an aerial shot and it looked pretty long. Thanks George.

[JohnO]

did you get the one with the blackened headlights and ambers?



nah the stock one normal pre-fl hl +foggies...so much minor things i gotta do now which i didnt pick up when i first had a look at it

[Rai-C]

lol i like how we all know whats done to every EP3 that is in stock at IMG at all times haha

[wtfhax]

nah the stock one normal pre-fl hl +foggies...so much minor things i gotta do now which i didnt pick up when i first had a look at it

[wtfhax]

if u mean basic functions, it should work.

if u mean speed limit thingy, i'm not sure.

[Perry]

did you get the one with the blackened headlights and ambers?

Dont think he bought that one.

[Perry]

You can always get a defi D-link oppose to the apexi.

[JohnO]

yess got them fat blinkers! are there any other blinkers i can get its full ugly man

[Perry]

Lucky my ep3 was the ones from the first batch that OMG bought in. downside is I didnt get the foggies and visors.

[JohnO]

hey perry think the side indicators could be interchaneable with the dc5's one?

[Philip Lee]

yess got them fat blinkers! are there any other blinkers i can get its full ugly man

how does this fat blinkers look like?

a few RAWs fit Mitsubishi ones (like my car) and i just swapped then with clear 380 ones for <$30 a pair including lens, bulb and bulb holder. (honda charges $30 for a single lens only, rip off).

[Philip Lee]

hey perry think the side indicators could be interchaneable with the dc5's one?

depends on the shape of the hole. if the hole is already bigger than Honda's then u'll need to weld up and paint = big $$$

[Philip Lee]

Lucky my ep3 was the ones from the first batch that OMG bought in. downside is I didnt get the foggies and visors.

foggies are useless anyway.

visors are good if u open the window often but it creates a huge blind spot.

actually i perfer to have side blinkers on my car as i drive in peak traffic often and i'd like ppl to see me when i change lane.

bling bling factor for me sometimes, I understand having side indicators will be useful in peak hour traffic.

[JohnO]

Yeh I Just want slimmer indicators that's all will get a picture up of them round ones

[Philip Lee]

this is mine:

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ab13558ab0.jpg

[bradb16a]

just a quick question is anyone running spacers.. with there rims...
whats the max spacer size with a 8 inch rim so the rim site flush... running 5mm need more any help would be good ..

[Philip Lee]

just a quick question is anyone running spacers.. with there rims...
whats the max spacer size with a 8 inch rim so the rim site flush... running 5mm need more any help would be good ..

it depends on the offset of the 8" wheel too.

[SuperSteve]

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ab13558ab0.jpg

Nice phill ur car looks nice

[Philip Lee]

haha Steve, it's just a stock looking FL with wheels.

but it's an old pic (pre lowering) to show the side blinkers to JohnO.

[Perry]

Looking good Phil I cant wait till I get my Fl headlights.:thumbsup:

[Philip Lee]

Perry, u getting OEM headlights with bulb and ballast?

[Perry]

Perry, u getting OEM headlights with bulb and ballast?

I only found the headlights at the moment found a site which the shop is based in HK, waiting for reply on the ballast.

[JohnO]

Car looks good Phillip now I gotta see if i can replace mine

[Philip Lee]

I only found the headlights at the moment found a site which the shop is based in HK, waiting for reply on the ballast.

probably just get aftermarket kits.

[bradb16a]

it depends on the offset of the 8" wheel too.

offset is 55

[Philip Lee]

^ another problem, the rear seems to be able to fit wider wheels/less +ve offset wheels than at the front.

also if u run camber kits, i guess u can always make it fit lol.

i think 8" + 35 - 38 would be good depending on camber, so maybe u want to run 15 - 20mm spacer.

however i'm not a fan of spacer. best advice is to get good sized wheels instead.

[Perry]

probably just get aftermarket kits.

I dont need OEM bulbs right? I would like to get stock Ballast due if I get aftermarket kit ill ending up looking at Beloff HID kits.

i bought a set of mugen mf10 17 x 8 by 55 brand new i did have much choice of offset as they were the last set and they dont make them any more .....
i have them on my car for about a year know but after putting tein mono flex coilover the inside of the rim hits the shock tower in the rear.

[Philip Lee]

u can run aftermarket kits. my fd's car is running aftermarket on OEM housing.

however, make sure u get all the caps as u'll have to buy from Japan if they're missing. CL9 etc all have different sizes and won't fit.

Cool thanks.

[c01567]

i have no side indicators! XD

[Perry]

Dont worry same with me.

[denrie]

Me to, I like it without them but.

[Philip Lee]

i prefer not to have side indicators for look but i want them for safety.

i guess ones mounted on mirrors like CL9 (and UK FL) would be perfect.

I am looking into that option making the car more modern.

[Philip Lee]

i think someone has done it in sydney.

but unless u can track some mirrors from wreckers, i'd think they won't be cheap.

Yeah I remember someone posting a pic of it the EP3 was at the Auto Salon as well.

I'll sell you my foggies! lol

Pull out your indicators and measure how big the hole is and compare to the size of an indicator you like (dc5/s2k/dc2/etc). If your hole is smaller then you can fit it easily and i'm sure IMG would be happy to chop up your fender to fit them.

[white_ep3_civic]

I was in the McDonalds drivethru and noticed white smoke bellowing from my engine bay, i pull over and the overflow bottle is sending coolant everywhere......notice the heat gauge was past the Red line and both radiator fans not working, this is a thermostat problem yea? I have to drive with my aircon on now so the thing doesn't overheat..........YAWNNN

[wtfhax]

^ Take it back to IMG

[p3p5y]

If you have an issue within 3 months after purchase, then yes, IMG as well as as all other dealers, have dealership warranty. They'd most likely send you to a place called ABC Automotive Repairs in North Strathfield to do the work, but to speak to IMG first.

[SuperSteve]

lol. couldn't see clearly as she was behind tinted glass.

Dam :(

[Twest]

I speak to Gav, he said to check the car's coolant level when its cold and see if it's just low first, otherwise it might be the thermo or the fan switch.

ITRDC2, I like the front as is with stock grill. Personally won't bother with mugen grill.

put it this way, I dun feel your car miss the grill.

I'm not a fan of the mugen grill on ep3, particular FL ones without the mugen front lower bumper

[Antv]

Hey guys quick question....where have you mounted your tweeters?
i dont think i wanna drill holes into dash or anywhere really....

[JohnO]

anyone running gruppe m ?? well when you install it do you have to take the rubber piece out so the scoop tip fits when you close the bonnet or can you leave it on?

[ITRDC2]

no u don't need to,some one will cut the part along the scoop,but u can still able to close if not cutting it

[ITRDC2]

hmm I will consider it,but I was gonna get the whole mugen look and sooner will get the seibon mugen style grille to put on,that's part of my project

[JohnO]

thanks didnt really like the idea of cutting it unless i can find another rubber piece for it

[mtonep3]

I got the pods from ebay UK, they look alot better than in the picture, very happy with them.

[white_ep3_civic]

Here is a pic of the cf bonnet for the ppl asking.

[white_ep3_civic]

Has any1 got a stock air filter I can buy? I priced them up new and their near $50

[pair08]

[Antv]

so you havent drilled holes anywhere?

[white_ep3_civic]

so you havent drilled holes anywhere?


I just got a hole cutter and cut the hole that fit the tweeter pods that came wit the speakers. I'll post a pic up if u want

[Twest]

I also bought the tweeter pods, they look great. My tweeter was pretty big so i had to cut out some of the plastic tabs inside the pod and glue the tweeter in.

[ITRDC2]

guys does 17/8.5/+30 fit our cars nicely?

[wtfhax]

guys does 17/8.5/+30 fit our cars nicely?

roll guards + camber!

[typeRr]

no need for camber, just rolled guards.

[wtfhax]

no need for camber, just rolled guards.

the fronts are going to stick out without camber

[Philip Lee]

8.5 + 30 would extend 34mm compared to 7 + 45 (stock)

whether your car needs camber depends on if it's lowered or not i supposed. the front is pretty wide, u can't really roll the front guards....

[Perry]
