[JohnO]

10w40 all the way! used oem, anglo oil- anglooil felt better than oem. gonna try motul 1040 next see how it goes with motul ff lsd

Has anyone used Royal Purple Engine Oil for the EP3?

I've used it on the Jazz and it's very good but not very sure how the k20a will respond to it.

Try Motul X-cess 8100 5W40, suitable for winter and track and oil temps are pretty stable, its a little cheaper than royal purple

[Zilli]

caltex 380<
anything else just isnt the right thing to do, i filled 2 tanks of freedom 98 octane e10 cause my friend told me its sooo good on his s7 rx7, i had fuel problems after a few days after the 2nd tank cause it picked up so much shit in the filter, took out the filter cleaned it up then put it back in and was all sweet, 2 weeks later i heard his 13b motor died LOL, his mech told him it was the fuel

LOL i shit myself putting that shit in my 2000 model ford courier let alon my toy car...LOL

Well only the newer cars are designed to take e10. Older cars are not compatible with the e10 fuel. So it made sense that his 13b died eventually.

hmmm they dont look like inverted tie rod ends. They look like ur ordinary standard design + the better rubber boot. Check with shift to confirm they are inverted that u are getting

[iQQ]

hey do you guys think Work Meister S1 17x8 +13, 17x9 +15 would fit our cars? like any chance at all?

Like the wheels, will in fit? in short....NO!

[Philip Lee]

just stick an over fender on and the wheels will fit lol

[JohnO]

I tried on 17x8? +35 and they fit flush

[Antv]

I tried on 17x8? +35 and they fit flush

were you on stock suspension and did you need to roll guards?

[JohnO]

Yeah stock suss, nope didn't need to roll, cleared the brakes pretty well, turned the wheel to the full lock left and it was all good. Gonna have to get the actual figures again off my brother but it was 17s +35. but if you lower it I think you may have to get the guards rolled.

Nvm I didn't take a photo Looking down the fender.

Yea I feel for you. Some of the rules are ridiculous.

The rules , are as they are over years of trial and error and development. The rules are dictated by YOU as the members/newcomers. The rules as they are make perfect sense and are not an issue for 99.9% of members on here. I strongly dislike when users are lazy , don't read the rules and then cry foul against THE MODERATORS for being Nazis or unfair. Get the **** out if you don't like it.




Anyway , to keep this on topic - how big is the OE cat back piping on a ep3 ? It looks TINY from underneath.

[Mugen_B16B]

i think 2 inch? might be wrong but seems like 2 inch

[Nepolian]

Ben.....its about 52mm, so yeah about 2 inches give or take. Its the headers which chokes the engine......

[bradb16a]

good luck and good bye, everyone drive safe and dont waste to much money on your build in out.
regards brad

[JohnO]

so the oe headers restrict flow? can you get like other headers and still use th oe cat? eg toda headers or whatever?

[Mugen_B16B]

i dunno, ive heard that jdm headers arent to bad, first mods u would do are intake then catback then headers

[SuperSteve]

i dunno, ive heard that jdm headers arent to bad, first mods u would do are intake then catback then headers

yeap first mod definately the intake u will definately feel the difference !

[Antv]

dont you only gain 2-3kw atw with aftermarket headers? since the oe headers is already efficient 4-2-1 compared to the dc5r 4-1?


so the oe headers restrict flow? can you get like other headers and still use th oe cat? eg toda headers or whatever?


yes im also curious if you can use the stock cat if you go for toda headers or so

[Poeter]

Quick question, is the engine check light suppose to come on before we start the engine? I noticed mine never comes on before ignition which seemed strange. I have a feeling my engine check light has failed. If was to be the case, does anyone know how to replace the engine check light bulb?

[Lukezen27]

Dude! I gained 5kw from Adrian installing nothing more than a DC5 intake tube..

118kw stock 122kw after

[tunacnt]

just fit my mugen grill, expected it to look better. maybe it'll look better with the lip aswell?

[iQQ]

hey do you guys know what the HIDS on our cars are? someone said it was 6000K but just wanted to make sure..

[JohnO]

Eng check light blinks on then turns off straight away as you start the car.

[Poeter]

Eng check light blinks on then turns off straight away as you start the car.

Yea that's what I thought which is why I found it strange.

So I highly suspect the check light has been blown or has been tampered with prior to my purchase of the car.

To make matters more frustrating for me, I've plugged in my Greddy infometer and it tells me I got one 1 error code ( but doesn't state what it is). The infometer couldn't show signal for the o2 sensor and give af ratio. From I am also speculating that it is probably my O2 sensor that has failed. I remember p3p5y posted several hundred of pages back on this thread that he had the engine check light problem and it also came down to his primary o2 sensor.

I'll be contacting my mechanic to see if he can find what the problem is.

[Twest]

hey do you guys know what the HIDS on our cars are? someone said it was 6000K but just wanted to make sure..

they are 4200k, But the highest replacement d2r globe i've seen is 6000k.

[Poeter]

Spotted an EP3 parked during after-hours at UNSW upper-campus carpark yesterday.

Looks stock but lowered ride height. Anyone here?

[damoqupak]

whats the best intake you'd recommend?

also out of all the EP3s i test drove the one i bought is the only one that i saw have the mugen tag in bedded in the dash near the gearbox..

[Antv]

most people would say gruppeM. that would most likely be just some aftermarkter mugen logo bling unless yours was ep3 built by mugen themselves :D

[damoqupak]

dude i think it was because it's not a sticker it's built in the dash solid like engraved.. I flipped when i saw it and i think the car was chipped. when i test drove it first time it hit 110 before it red lined the guy was like "Faaarrkk now i know why you want one of these.." i flipped too but it took him over a month to get it complied and once i did get it back it didn't go as hard.. i bet it had a mugen chip. I'm looking at getting it remapped but no1 can help due to mugen being hard to source and import when your in AUS.. not to mention expensive.. dam!

yeah most seem to have the gruppeM intake.. intake is first on my list.. hope Santa can help out :]

[Antv]

110 in 1st gear before redline? thats crazy
maybe it was demodded to comply or the fact that japan has higher octane fuel....i have no idea lol. maybe someone else has something to say :)

[Philip Lee]

Personally i'd get Injen and save the money for a cat back.

[damoqupak]

hahah I'm an idiot i should of been more specific.. I mean 110 in 2nd gear before it red lined.. hahahah
yeah i think it was taken down to comply.. kind of spewing about that..

[Philip Lee]

Undo the glove box and look at the damn ECU.

Mugen ECU is not for street use anyway. just get a Hondata when u have done I/H/E.

[damoqupak]

I dont know about doing anything to the exhaust.. I'm just getting into all this car talk I've been mostly a ball player and gamer all my life.. when you mention cat back does that mean moding up your exhaust right? if so all the modded EP3s i drove with after market exhausts were loud as hell.. annoyed the hell out of me and i couldn't hear the V-Tec screamm..

so your saying better save the money to get a better cat back for more KW?

[JohnO]

I got a gruppe m, it left a hole in my arm. sound great though, injen wouldve given the same performance and all but i was too pussy to cut things. catback is exhaust to the cat converter, man you hear the vtec crossover with anything its not hard to notice anyways. Show us a picture of that mugen thing on the dash.

[damoqupak]

Philip you've totally lost me but once I finish work I'll look it up. I couldn't get much from Google about I/H/E.
whats that stand for?

[damoqupak]

I've made that mugen symbol as my profile pic but it's not coming up.. I guess coz I'm a newcomer..

[damoqupak]

aiight that's the symbol near the gearbox.

can any1 see my profile pic? I dont think it's showing up

there are some cat back exhaust that are not too loud. i have spoon street one which is very quiet at idle and sounds good when vtec. i heard RM01A are not too loud as well.

a gruppe m intake will cost around $1.2k. you can pick up an injen CAI for around $400 and a nice exhaust for around $1k. i know which one is better value.

it's not too hard to install the injen and there is only a few plastic trim that need cutting. just seal up wiht duct tape after you have finished installing the CAI.

I - intake
H - header
E - exhaust

[damoqupak]

cheers philip.. I'll start doing some more research and learning a bit more about it.

[Poeter]

gruppem don't cost 1.2k now, does it?

I just checked xposed's shop and it cost $981. But still dear and the filters cost $240 when replacement is required. They don't last forever, they only last for a number of washes and mileage.

[Eskimo_firefighter]

Philip you've totally lost me but once I finish work I'll look it up. I couldn't get much from Google about I/H/E.

I/H/E = intake, headers, exhaust.

[damoqupak]

you can replace the filter with a K&N right?

[Poeter]

It's a K&N alright but it's exclusive to gruppem.

[damoqupak]

sweet but expensive.. my budget for a intake is 1k.. so i was expecting to pay that much.. cheers mate..

[Poeter]

Maybe you can ask one of the ep3 guys to show you the gruppem in the next sydney meet.

good to know the price is dropped. but then u would want to get the silicon intake hose as well.

[damoqupak]

i was about to ask when's the next syd meet... someone told me they've stopped going to them.. I've seen some of the gruppem intakes on the web.. other brands make you relocate your battery to the boot.. fark dat man..

[Philip Lee]

other brands make you relocate your battery to the boot.. fark dat man..

there is only 1 i know that needs the battery relocation.....

[damoqupak]

which one is that? i think its the one from JDM password their carbon fiber one which they say is the best..
i found the mugen intake but i can't find a picture of how it would be places.
I've made an inquiry about if the batt needs to be relocated..

[Philip Lee]

yeah password JDM.

mugen takes over the stock airbox space.

[bennjamin]

Also does anyone know if the dc5 tie rod ends and the ep3 tie rod ends are the same? dc5/ep3 coilovers are interchangeable so should the tie rods also be?

[Philip Lee]

They are different. Not interchangable.

[Nepolian]

Need to run DC5 tie rod ends. Easy fix would be to run DC5 inverted tie rods :)

Could you guys read the last post and tell me what he is saying? Because I think I've misinterpreted.

The shift ep was running a 1" drop in the rear and 1.5" in the front with the stock coils, he sent them to the UK if I remember correctly and he said it handled much better than if he had changed the whole coilover and it cost him around $400 or something like that.

But then i guess this wouldn't increase firmness I don't think.

I must admit when i first got my EP i was an idiot, I soon toned it down and had some more respect..

[damoqupak]

5 days old.. nice Tony.. congrats champ.. i know the feeling once you get one your loving it..

[Poeter]

Yep. I showed him mine and he was in love. Lol

Why when you can get decent springs for that price which will also increase firmness?

[Poeter]

Saw Johno's photos on the reflection thread. Awesome pics of the ep3 group.

I should have came early to join you guys but arrived when cop stung the meet. It was funny to see how everyone was legging it in the end. Reminds me of Fast and Furious.

hahahah man noway...

hey whats considered a defect nowadays? cold air intakes?

[Nepolian]

hahahah man noway...

hey whats considered a defect nowadays? cold air intakes?

Nah, any exposed air filter....ie SRI without a cover of some sort!

[Poeter]

If a cop is really picky and need work to fill up their quota/expectations, they can do you for anything non-standard.

That is, they could still defect you with a mugen box.

I think I remember reading a thread here or jdmst that a member had been defected for the mugen airbox as well. It was an outrage when I first read about it.

[damoqupak]

Mate that is dead set farked up.. those c*nts just try and ruin everything.. I've only ever come across 2 good coppers the rest of em were c*nts...

[damoqupak]

do any of you use the Honda FEO ultra synthetic oil for you EP3 engine? its only 5-30w.

[JohnO]

Nah switched over to 10W40 motul, at the moment still using 10w40 angloil fully synthetic

[damoqupak]

thanks Johno.. I'll give it a try..

is that what most ppl use on their EPs?

[Philip Lee]

i use Castrol edge 5w30. seems good.

[JohnO]

depends on seasons right? thinner during winter and thicker during other seasons or other way round?

[damoqupak]

yeah Jonho i heard about the same thing..

0-40 in winter and 10-40 in summer..

i could be wrong....

i've been using 5-40

[Philip Lee]

I'd thought 0w40 or 10w40 for summer and 5w30 for winter.

[damoqupak]

I'd thought 0w40 or 10w40 for summer and 5w30 for winter.

isn't 10-40 thicker? because the oil thins out the hotter the temp is.. so in summer i thought you go thicker oil and in winter you go thinner..

I was born in a generation too late :)

Georgey boy has a white one!!!

[Philip Lee]

I'd thought 0w40 or 10w40 for summer and 5w30 for winter.


isn't 10-40 thicker? because the oil thins out the hotter the temp is.. so in summer i thought you go thicker oil and in winter you go thinner..

the first number means the thickness when cold. a lower number for winter would probably be better so they flow quicker on start up. and you should warm up the car before you go hard.

the second number is when hot so i'd use a thinker oil in summer than winter.

[659cc]

U got EP3....finally :)

Haha George! Yeah I've always had a soft spot for EP3s (over dc5rs) and was really sold when Poeter gave me a ride @ 8500rpm - its highly addictive!

Upgraded from a Jazz to a bigger Jazz with double the power :P

Whens the next meet at?

cool.. thanks for clearing that up for me.. yeah i heard 5 minutes warm up before you use v-tec..

[damoqupak]

hey fellas.. is any1 here with the EP 3000 plates? PM me..

[mtonep3]

Hey does anyone know roughly spoon headers are worth?

[Nepolian]

cool.. thanks for clearing that up for me.. yeah i heard 5 minutes warm up before you use v-tec..

Should actually let the car fully warm up before using vtec.

[Nepolian]

Hey does anyone know roughly spoon headers are worth?

$200 for usability and $800 for name and bling.

[Twest]

what happened to that talk of us getting some ep3crew stickers for our cars? we need some i reckon :)

[mtonep3]

$200 for usability and $800 for name and bling.

LOL so they are not actually any good??
because my mate offered me $1200
it included sard hi-flow cat... not sure if im getting ripped or not... but cant really find prices for it anywhere...

[JohnO]

EP squad wouldve been nice. Gonna start packing for my jdm trip.

[damoqupak]

Saw Johno's photos on the reflection thread. Awesome pics of the ep3 group.

I should have came early to join you guys but arrived when cop stung the meet. It was funny to see how everyone was legging it in the end. Reminds me of Fast and Furious.

where's the reflection thread?

fak harry's yeah?u know the sard cat already worth about 1k...plus the spoon he bought in new for 7xxxx yen. the total value is over 2k already....but i'd say u should be going for j's header as ur running 60rs, but u also need an ECU man...

[Antv]

does anyone have j's racing front strut or c pillar? or knows how to install them?

im having problems installing the front one as the brake reservoir and the aircon line thing is in the way of the bolts on left side.

[egads]

aircon hose goes into the brace as shown, might need to bend some things/remove brackets though.

[PeppeX]

I am kinda second doubting buying a EP3 considering the price for it... I am on first year of greens so no turbo for me. But the turbo cars are only 2-3k more than EP3, so i dno if i should wait until my fulls (Subaru WRX, Audi S3, Golf GTI). The WRX and S3 both have AWD so thats already worth the extra 2-3k. So why is the EP3 still so expensive :'(

Also i cant see the EP3 holding its price as well as the Audi and the Golf, so 3 years down the track the EP3 will be worth less than 15k

[Antv]

do you need a relocation kit for the reservoir ? or do you take the reservoir off and put it back after installing the strut?

thanks

If you owned an ep3, then you would know why its only 2-3k less than turbo cars....in most cases its quicker than them :) I have raced an s3 and a wrx and the ep3 holds it's own...the wrx i raced actually lost so bleh. Golf GTI is slower than an ep3, it's alot heavier plus no where near as raw and 'race' oriented. The only reason the ep3 is losing it's value is due to the very large increase in the amount of ep3's imported.

imo of course.

I agree wit twest.. go drive an EP3 and see the difference.. the balance and power in the EP3 is almost perfect..
the only GTI thats beaten me is my mates one which he remapped to 210kw.. I surprise the wrx drivers but I've cut down on guys who want to take me on.. I haven't taken on a s3 yet so I can't say which one is better..
I'm driving a stock EP3 and the amount of cars I've kept up with or sometimes get in front of is ridicules.. especially the work they've done on it and I'm stock..
also petrol wise its great but only if you use BP ultimate..
I also don't think the value of the EP3 drops that much.. 3 years ago when i wanted to get one it was between 28 and 30k.. now ppl still try to sell them between 22 and 24.. most importers will try to sell it to you for 25k..
well that's what I've seen since I've been looking for one.. to be honest since I've got mine I haven't thought about getting anything else..
I had a dealer trying to convince me to get a evo 7 or 8.. once he imported the EP3 for me and i took him for a spin he soon realized why I wanted the one..

Not everything’s about the racing!!
Design, function and the beautiful aesthetics of the EP3 sold me years ago, not to mention coming with a K20A straight out of the box.

They were out of my price range till just recently so the price drop was great news for me.
I also have an EG5 JDM B16A SiR-II TURBO running 13.2s on street rubber!!
Heaps faster than the Rex’s, Audi S3 or Golf GTI but I still opted for the slower yet nicer EP3.

AWD is completely unnecessary for in and around town or even the track IMO,
Plus the extra weight of the AWD running gear makes them a tad sluggish and costly on fuel
Now having said that, the EP3 is no slug in any case and can keep up with AWD turbo boys no problems.

Just lookup the Australian Rally Championship stages and compare times between the turbo AWD EVO or REX boys and the N/A FWD Civic Type-R

Not to mention the huge costs involved in service and repairing European cars.

[PeppeX]

Lukezen27, damoqupak and Twest thank you for your replies :) U guys always seem to be able to convince why i want a EP3 again :D

But tbh the back seats in the EP3 is a joke it doesnt even have headrests. If my friends just sat in the back of the car they would not think the car is worth 20g (especially if they dont know hondas).

I own an auto and i've only driven my friends manual from time to time, only learnt the basics (shifting and hill starts), i cant even blip properly to downshift so i dont think i can really go test a EP3 lol, the owner will think i am a time waster :(

[Mugen_B16B]

yes the car doesnt come with all the luxrys of headrest in the back, but for wat you get its an amazing car, just test drive one then go test drive a wrx s3 or gti and u will feel a total difference, ive only driven the wrx and gti but imo the ep3 just feels alot better, and its not just straight line, cornering is another bonus, hence the car been made as a Type R its gotto perform on the track aswell

[Mugen_B16B]

u can come test drive mine in brissy, u can buy it aswell :P its for sale btw

[damoqupak]

champ you'll be surprised how much space and how comfy the back seats.. yes its not as luxurious as the s3 or gti but for the cash you know the tuning of the engine and rest of the stock features is all honda type R unique and a lot of thought was put into it.. also its loaded with cup holders :]
its up to you.. i was the same.. didn't know if i should go the euro type r, evo 7 or 8 or the ep3.. skylines, gti's and wrx never got my attention way too many of them on the road... ep3 is still a rarity..
I dont know if you've seen this clip but watch it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaYW1mUE8RI
it's top gear's review about the ep3.. I was sold when i saw this clip..
but in the end it's up to you what you want.. do you wanna drive your mates around or do you wanna enjoy driving a car?

P.S. dont worry about manual.. you'll soon get a hang of it.. i was the same when i switched from auto to manual but you soon realize that it's not as hard as it seems.. just stay positive don't ever doubt yourself..

Wait so u were on ur full license and u chose an EP3 over an evo? Was it cos evo was too expensive?

Yeah i have seen the video, but top gear is more of a comedy show. Love the show, just started watching it from the start again. I basically search up civic type r EP3 on youtube every 3 days to see what new videos of the car is up lol. I wish people to upload more videos, i just cant get enough of it.

Was the EP3 ur first manual car?

Well said :)

[Nepolian]

Yep! A lot of us here are full licensed and choose to own the EP3....I myself sold a 400hp R32 GTR to buy the EP3 and don't regret it. But having said that there are some of us here that have had all types of car, unlike the P platers who only think about power and/or luxuries etc.

Owning a Honda Type R requires are certain understanding of the car as a whole......? May not make sense to you (it does to me).

If EP3 isn't your taste to begin with, I'd suggest that you don't buy one. Mazda 3 auto may be your friend if that's the case.

[icecrm]

hey guys. finally took my car in for a new clutch on thursday, got a call friday advising of 2 busted engine mounts. Should i go for stock or aftermarket?

I seen some Mugen ones for $450. are they any good?

I just went for the innovative ones, alot of the guys run them. It's personal preference is what I've found.
Go for a drive with someone who has innovative mounts and then go for a drive with someone with the mugen mounts...steve has them :)

nah EP3 wasn't my first manual and yeah i do have my fulls..
the reason why i chose the EP3 over the evo is maintenance and petrol plus there's not many out there..
I'm just not the biggest fan of turbos i love the NAs.. If i was going to get a turbo i would of got the evo 8 MR but it was out of my price range and too much on petrol.

I totally agree with Nepolian. If you have doubts on EP3, you are likely better off not buying one because you will sell soon for a turbo or a luxury car.

To really appreciate it, you need a deeper understanding of the Type R. It's not a car anyone can buy and be happy with. I personally don't think you should take words from someone else to convince you to buy one because driving one and see it driven would already tell you alot. I believe that is enough to convince you. If it doesn't, don't buy one.

I bought an EP3 because I drove one, sat in one and also enjoyed the driving sensation from its type r siblings. Not solely because someone is telling me it s quicker than another sports car.

If you're looking for straight line speed, get a turbo and you probably won't need to have a hard life trying to defend Honda's are quick. This is one of the reason why some drivers don't own type r very long because they feel beaten by the more powerful turbos

Second gear chirpies are so yesterday Benny :)

[Twest]

does anyone know a yellow dc2r with numberplate sus-1*r? Little guy tried racing me in his HOONDA.

I thought it was funny, i want to contact this guy.

[Mugen_B16B]

any of u guys got a set of oem engine mounts in sweet condition? none of this cracks and leaks bs lol if u do lemme no, i might be parting out the injen and innovative mounts so gotto find myself a set of stock ones

[bennjamin]

You can have mine for $50 dude - will be a couple of weeks before I take em
Out tho. will perfectly suit the part-out - to sell situation !

[Mugen_B16B]

Damnit, LOL. I just bought new innovative mounts :(. Nevermind. How much is the injen?

Ohh shit LOL... I meant innovative. Good catch Mugen_B16B

[Mugen_B16B]

never new injen made mounts :S u mean innnovative right? hahaha

took the baby down the strip for the first time tonight, was nice weather, cold and dry best time i got was 14.1145 on a shit 60ft 2.215, i managed to get 2 runs in properly and 2 fuk ups, first one was 1st gear poped back out which im not sure wat happened, second one i miss shifted 2nd

wat rpm u guys launching at, i no the car is worthy of getting into the 13's

[Nepolian]

On street tyres, launch around 4-5k with hint of clutch slip. Couple of us in Sydney have gotten 13.9s with cat back, sri. So potential is there but no room for errors :)

I've got a faint chirping noise with my clutch.

Exactly same symptom as this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdVJ5vnO6Jg

Noise stops if i lightly rest my foot on the clutch without depressing more than 5% of the depth.

Does any know how to fix this?

After doing some research, my speculation is that it's either my clutch release bearing is wearing out or my clutch master/slave cylinder are having issues.

I do know my clutch fluid are a bit dark, perhaps bleeding it with new fluid may fix it?

I really hope it's just the old fluids or clutch cylinders. Otherwise fixing the clutch bearing would mean taking out the gearbox to reach it :(

whens the last time oyu changed the gear oil? should do it 15 to 20,000 kms.. I'm changing mine in the next 4 to the Honda MTF.. try that first before any major work..
anyways thats what I was recommended and found out on the pommie forums..

[Poeter]

Yea will be doing gearbox fluid soon as well but i doubt that will fix it.

Shifting is still smooth as is but will definitely bleed the clutch fluid and do the brake fluid at the same time.

Does anyone know much Litres is needed to do a full brake flush?

[Nepolian]

one bottle (500ml) if you're good. Two to be safe :)

[mizone]

Which one of you keeps writing off your cars, my insurance went up $200 this renewal. ughhhhhh...

[Poeter]

Thanks.

I bought 3 500mL Motul RBF600 and 1 Motul 5.1 for the clutch.

Another question, for valve clearance, do you think we can use the same spec as the civic si service manual for US/Canada?

I'm a bit hesitant since they use the k20a3 not k20a.

[SuperSteve]

you guys hoon too much down south. i actually got a reduced premium this year lol
How do u get away with it up there :p

[Poeter]

LOl they are better drivers up there. They don't crash and have accidents like some of the Sydney folks here.

[Nepolian]

Its general knowledge that cars are more expensive to own, register and insure in Sydney....

Qlders are lucky!

BTW....Thinking of selling my recently acquired FL front bar and lip. PM for more details!

yeah, RPF1s with blue rays nuts...

Hmmm there are a few local places that are really nice and most people dont know where to find them..
Boat Harbour is out near one mile beach and is really nice, and at the right time of year you can see the wales swim past.. But Shoal Bay has to be one of the nicest places.
Where about did you guys stay?

it does! saved me a few times wen i need to go out and the fone's about to die.
it's pretty good that while music's playing and if someone calls you...the music slowly dies down so you know a call is coming. crappy part is when u plug your earphones into the fone and the music is blasting into the earphones and not the speakers. (tried it out coz i wanted to use my earphones to pick up calls while driving).

[k0e1]

quick question where about can we get a replacement for the bottom/lower arm for the Ep3? or is there another compatible part that the ep can use ?

Hi All,

ust a quick question, I got my Rego Papers today. I have owned my car for nearly 1yr and am the 1st owner in Aust. Now on the Rego Papers is says that an inspection of the vehicle is not required, has anyone else had this appear on their Rego Papers?

Cheers

Aren't new vehicles under 3 years old exempt from a pink slip ?
How is a 8 year old vehicle ( ep3r for example) exempt ? Does it apply from it's imported date as "new" ?

My guess is becuase of the inspections our cars go through when being imported??? Not sure though, as this is my 1st import, I will ask my dad and bro as they both have imports...

Oh. Mine doesn't charge :(

Which iphone generation do you have? I think my iphone is too new for my pioneer deck to charge. Older generation of iphones used firewire charging which is my pioneer's method of charging unfortunately.

my alphine charges the 3gs
