[Lukezen27]

Personally going back to oem or mugen/hard race myself for daily !
Dont kid yourself guys.....stiff mounts only make you look cool. Pain in the arse for a everyday car lol. Leave those stiff mounts for track use

Yeah they suck balls for day to day driving....

That said, anyone selling there OEM mounts? mainly the drivers side oil filled one I blew up at the drags last week?

i've got mugen suspension(found out the day i rotated my tyres) and they feel pretty good once you get used to them and missus doesn't mind them either.
infact, the only person complaining about the suspension is my bastard of a friend who loves his evo and compares everything to it.

Far out Grant. How many chicks have you been going through? What a stud!! =P


Anyway, What do we need to do to get rid of the 180kmh speed limiter?

I thought my engine blew last night when I suddenly had lost of power on the main straight of eastern creek.
Then I realise this thing is JDM and has a 180kmh limiter.

Century is quite good, they have high CCAs and normally 2 years warranty. I havent changed mine yet, i still have the JDM ones on.

[Nepolian]

Kpro/Haltec etc would help with the speed limit!

[Jibz]

My car came with the HKS "Speed Limit Defencer" which is just added onto stock ECU to remove the speed limit!

I have a Kpro now, so no need for the HKS part. Anyone interested?

Either clean ur wheels every day

or run OEM brake pads. anything aftermarket...ANYTHING...will get dust

[JohnO]

No point spraying it matt black, wouldn't you rather a free gun metal coating?
After you clean the wheels use wheel protectant and usually lasts abit over a week in good weather non of this temperamental weather.

Hi all New here. Finally got my ep3 Friday after almost 3 months of waiting. I am over the moon, getting it registered tomorrow. Can't wait to go for a proper cruze as I only have a permit at the moment. Does any one know if there is any other ep3 owners here in Darwin?

[bigbaby0223]

[bigbaby0223]

Thanks!

[KIKNHRD]

I failed the MVR pits because of my HID lights how do I get around it. I went to an auto lec. They reckon I'd should look into finding some second hand ADM headlights that might fit. They think it will be too hard, time consuming and may not work if we try to swap to normal globs. what should I do? Is there a forum section on this?

[Philip Lee]

That's bullshit. My compliance guy swapped out my hid and replaced with normal heligen. It was quite easy to hook up. I remember it was only 2 wires run off from the plug that hook up to the HID ballast.

He kept my HID bits so I could return everything to OEM HID relatively easily.

[Nepolian]

Yes!!

[Philip Lee]

Ok just went to the garage and managed to find the wiring and light bulbs I pulled out to put the HID back. I recall I took some pic on how they are connected to the plugs. Lete have a look later.

[KIKNHRD]

Really!! ok no worrys I guess my complacence guy should have done that too. Dodge bastard. I'll find a diff auto lec and get them to do that. Thanks heaps

[KIKNHRD]

Sweet I'll come back later for a look see cheers

[Philip Lee]

Oops I just remember mine is facelift so the wiring is only for low beams. But let me find the pics so u can show your electrican for reference.

We tried today to put the halogens in and disconnect the ballast. Due to only having one globe and high and low beam controlled by the sleave that moves back and forth. We could not get high and low working properly. looks like I may need to purchase a second had set of lights to put in so I can register it, then switch back. Does anyone know what lights would fit a preface lift ep3 (none HID)??

[Symphorced]

Depends on the clips that you have in there mate. You could just get H4 bulbs and then modify some pieces of wire to hold the bulb in.

Just got my Mugen front lip installed today, come home to park it in the garage and SCRAAAAPE - a huge chunk of paint is now missing. FML.

[[daan]]

Duuuu that sucks. BTW I just bought an Ep3 on its way over from Japan. Where did u get your mugen front lip from? I wanna get the grill as well. Pre facelift model oem would be nice..

Australian EU headlights will fit,

[NightRyder]

As Perry said, you could just get a set of second hand EU civic headlights, cut the main wires that connect the power and hook the wires up accordingly and you're done! :)
It might be too much hassle to dismantle the existing HID wiring just to change the bulb n balast.......a suggestion anyway. :)

Bought it second hand (though never used or primered/painted) for $200 off someone from Firesport. It's a replica one made by TopMix in Hong Kong. Made perfectly though as the lip fits perfectly flush and I even got the bumper cut to have the air vents to cool the brakes. Really love the look of it.

You want a pre-FL grill on a FL EP3??

[tunacnt]

does anybody know if a rear lip off a SI 2004-2005 ep3 would fit on a 2002 ep3r ?

If u pull out the fuse cover either it is on the inside of this or somewhere there, there is a fuse diagram that should indicate where it is

Mine burnt before. It's located at fusebox on the engine bay near the battery. And yes it is 10amps.

if the EU is sold in america ( as a different model ) check this site out

its in the US - but you can find almost anything relevant to our EP3's , for a fraction of the cost here. Shipping is cheap too !

Just look up the net for wreckers in Syd and Melb, someone will have used EU lights for sale.

Lights designed for use with RHD cars have a cut-off like this:

Where as lights designed for use with LHD cars have a cut-off like this:

RHD lights are designed to direct more light to the left side of the road and vice-versa for LHD lights - so oncoming drivers don't get blinded.

mmm having that issue again with the grinding/clicking/squeaking/knocking sound when i turn the wheel left/right @ low speed (max20km/h)

took it to my mechanic , hes not sure what the problem is (said it could be driveshaft issue or powersterring motor).

i mentioned it could be the steering rack although he said that was all fine..

any ideas fellas?

Thoughts on the stainless steel 60RS that JDM Concept sells? The titanium one is out of my budget haha.

[Poeter]

I haven't heard 60RS in person for an EP3.

However, I am judging on the basis that I've got a titanium fx 50RS for the Jazz. Comparing that to a mate's J's racing 50RS c304r, the stainless steel sounds like any normal cannon exhaust in my opinion. By that I mean, it sounds droney, farty and low pitched. To me that sounds crap but maybe not to others.

It's the same for the js'racing c304r for civic fd1's. Sounds droney, farty and low pitched.

So my personal conclusion is to only get the titanium if you're getting j's racing brand. Otherwise it's just bling but ordinary cannon noise.

[Symphorced]

Thanks for the input mate. Might just go with the full TODA system then. A droning exhaust would be too much for me - need the EP3 as a daily right now.

[bennjamin]

if you are just putting on an exhaust (header / cat / catback ) dont bother. It will be noise / drone and not much else !

Not happy at all about this but at least i got my money back (minus 60c due to the exchange rate).

Correct! They've got the ball type ends to suit the OEM rims.

I believe the Kics Revo nuts have a tapered end, so it won't suit the OEM rims which require lug nuts with the ball type ends.

I believe the Kics Revo nuts have a tapered end, so it won't suit the OEM rims which require lug nuts with the ball type ends.

lol im not too sure mate , wouldnt know because i havent used them with the stock rims :)

isn't a 70k service just a minor service? should be like 150 or so at hannys

anyone know if the PreFL HIDs are easily replaceable bulbs ? Mine has some awful 6-8000k bluish bulbs that do nothing on the road. Pretty sure its the standard C pack with the car....Id want to replace them with 4300k white ones.

anyone know where I can buy mugen style front lip and front grill in Melbourne?
I found them in ebay shipping from UK but the shipping fee is very expensive.

thanks for that i'll call them up and see what they say.. anyone know where i can get stock suspension for the ep or know of anyone parting? these teins are driving me crazy.

why not try the mugen suspension? i've got them on and it's not too bad. quite smooth on the minor bumps. bumpier on the big ones.

hi guys,

just wondering if 2003-2006 model EU civic front guards will fit 2001 EP3??? or are ep3 wider?

[Philip Lee]

mku, i think they would but not 100% sure.

front bumper between EU and EP are interchangable so the guards towards the front of the car should be the same design.

[mku01]

ok i'll order them and will find out soon :)
thanks philip!

Anyone replaced the strut tops with camber tops? I think there's a bit of play in my Mugen SS top mounts and I'm wondering if theres a aftermarket solution available, rather than just replacing with the stock item!

Not aware of any tops that can be fitted without mods. There are generic camber tops which will need some work to have fitted. But remember that OEM and mugen struts are quite large and may not have the movement unlike the others!

That's a fair point.

Is anyone able to confirm whether the Mugen shocks are just a revalved OEM shock? If thats the case, I'll likely be looking at replacing the strut top then with a new oem one.

essentially yes they are. The upper strut mounts are compatible with each other

Does Showa make OEM EP3 shock as well? I thought Mugen SS's body is pretty different from OEM because it feels lighter.

HID was probably taken out due to compliance issues and never replaced. Most EP3s that were imported to Australia are C packages.

[stienerv2]

Theres also power folding mirrors, privacy glass and erm thats all i can remember at the moment. All the ep3s ive seen are c packages.

[bigbaby0223]

I think power windows are a part of the c package as well.

Has anyone had 3rd gear problem on their EP3 ? I had problem with mine. After driving long time at high speed ... I found that it's impossible for me to shift down to 3rd gear unless I fully stop the car.

Hey guys.... just wondering if any of you experience any trouble trying to remove or change your EP3 frontliight bulb..

I got my car a couple weeks ago and now one of my lights died.. I notice mines different from others...

I took a photo of it.. below:
http://users.tpg.com.au/adsldql3/misc/ep3light.jpg

And this diy doesnt seem to work for me o.O

http://forums.clubep3.com/showthread.php?t=748080

I cant remove the cover its so weird, and even if i remove the bumper, i had trouble trying to get the light out.. one of the bolt is hidding deep inside and my ratchet couldnt even reach it

BTW... mines came with xenons i think? i bought it like this..

[cvc88]

just wondering if mines different from the other ep3s here in aus....

otherwise im thinking to change the 2 headlights so I can have easy access to the bulbs in the future... What do you guys think? if so, where might i'll be able to find them in Sydney?

please help! i really want to get my lights fixed soon

thanks!

[spookz]

Most EP3's in Australia have factory xenons - just like the photo in your first post.

The pictures in the link you posted, are for headlights which have halogen globes - e.g. the Australian EU Civic.

Sorry dude, I've never needed to change my globes out on the EP3.. perhaps someone else can shed some light.

[bennjamin]

Just like to add - the factory hid setup is pretty shite. Its a hid bulb setup from a euro or other projector setup in the open reflector housing of a base civic. Little viewing angle and lots of wasted light.
Im thinking of retro fitting halogen bulbs.....

[bigbaby0223]

I bought a set of rachet with extension the other day to take my headlights off. Just need the right tool for the job. I think you have to remove the front bumper to change headlight bulbs. EP3 uses D2S light bulbs for the HID, not 100% sure though.

[spookz]

01-03 EP3 uses D2R bulbs. The "R" bulbs are designed for use with HID reflector housings. There's a little black/grey square that covers the bottom half of the globe.

Thanks for that man! I'll buy a new ratchet with extension, test out my bulbs and if its faulty i'll buy the bulb that you just mentioned..

BTW, I dont need to get the same K bulbs do i? I really like the 6000k bulbs, but i dont know whats my current one..

or do you guys reckon its best to buy a whole new headlight, something that is more easily accessible in the future? o.O

6000k should be fine as long as you're getting the correct bulb (D2R).

A whole new headlight from Honda would set you back $400 each side and will still be the same? If you mean aftermarket then I have no idea but I wouldn't trust those eBay ones.

[cvc88]

Thanks Symphorced, i will buy the 6000k =]

Anyway... today I had time to remove the lights and found out that the bulb actually poped! So i went online and bought a new set of bulbs so thanks for the help guys!

Also, just wondering.. As i was taking the bulb out, i noticed that the bulb actually doesnt sit properly on the socket? like the plastic area on the bulb is as big as the socket so it doesnt fit into it nicely... Is it normal? I tried many ways to make it fit it perfectly.. but it just doesnt fit?

The 2 metal pieces can hold it down though, but its crooked.... o.O

[spookz]

If they're the OEM bulbs, they'll be 4300K like all OEM HID systems.

If you only switch one side to 6000K, it'll not match the 4300K on the other side. So be sure to switch out both if you intend on going with different Ks.

Though, assuming you are running 4300K and you only switch one side out, one side will still be more blue/white compared to the other as HID bulbs get bluer over time. So if you're fussy, you'd probably wanna switch both at the same time and keep one as a backup.

[cvc88]

Yeah i will do that... and bloody hell, i start to find this car is getting annoying..

Was testing out my light cause it was crooked and points down.. maybe cause i didnt fit it back in properly, AND NOW THE HIGH BEAM DOESNT TURN OFF! farrKkk....... been switching the lights on and off and flicking the switch back and forth many times, but high beam just doesnt want to turn off!

With the new bulbs you purchased? I know with aftermarket HIDs, high beam always stays on whenever you have your low beams on. I just de-pinned my high beam.

[cvc88]

I havnt put on the new bulbs yet.. still waiting for it to arrive..

I read online and people say it may be the fuse... I dont know how to check that, might need to bring it to a mechanic -_-"

[Nepolian]

Did you turn off he high beam??

[cvc88]

Did you turn off he high beam??

Yes the high beam is turned off. I've been flicking the switch back and forth to turn the high beam on and off, it still doesnt work, it just stays on high beam

But here is the current situation, i dont know if would this be affecting it.. The left bulb poped, so i took it out.. disconnected right now... Would that affect the circuit within the HID causing it to stay on high beam? (but it was working fine with one bulb until i flicked the high beam on once, and it just wouldnt go off now)

[Nepolian]

Short answer is I don't know. But if you pit the left one back in and see if it goes back to normal. Since it started playing up when it was removed!

Hey bud I'm no expert at all but I have to swap my HID's out for rego (Pre FL). When we were working on them we noticed the high and low is controlled by a solenoid which control's a sleeve that slides back and forth giving you high and low. Maybe you blew the fuse that controls the solenoid??

I run them pads and they squeak when cold n hardly when warmed up. Mayb ur's are starting to get glazed by the sound of it. Try bedding them again n see what happens. But b4 going hard on the brakes b sure to check u got pad left, maybe u might b low on pad.

It depends on how cute Ferodo is and whether he/she is your type. For me if she is smokin hot, instructions would be a couple of dates, nice dinner, girley movie. That should get her in the mood. May take longer depends on the 'feel'.

Now, if your lucky enough to get to bed Ferodo and then she turns to you and say I love you and can't wait to have babies......that's when you slam on the brakes.

Now if Ferodo is anyway like the guy from Lord of the rings, the thought would never cross my mind and you'd have serious issues......please go ask Lukezen for advice!

[bennjamin]

Squeals are from the pads themselves - generally when pads are clamping below the working heat range the metallic fibres protude and rub against the discs.

Btw i have no idea why anyone here runs any aftermarket pads on the street - oem pads are silent dont eat your rotors and work 100% fine in all situations bar heavy track use.

[JohnO]

needed street cred to catch up to steve.

[Poeter]

Ben's right. OEM pads are good enough to be honest

I've used them for 3 track days and still got plenty of meat. Good enough to have fun but maybe not so much if you want the best braking performance and getting ultra fast lap times around Wakefield.

For street use, DS2500 isn't really put to good use. It's put to good use when it sees high temperatures on the track otherwise it's not that much better for street braking.

I use endless NS97 now. It's only a bit more expensive than OEM but cheaper than DS2500. Very low in dust and performs better than OEM. May not be as aggressive as DS2500 but this is because these are more for street use.

[Philip Lee]

NS97 is awesome. together with Endless RF650 fluid there was no fade at all for an afternoon of trackday.

[flubbar]

heya guys! i'm thinking of going for a group buy for the gruppe m intake from exposed. lemme know if ur interested!

back to topic:
currently using the OEM and i reckon they're good too. not much brake dust compared to the ferodos. But if i were to go trackday, i'd buy a set purely just for that and change back to the OEM once i'm done.

[SuperSteve]
