Diddo to that!

[veecee]

i saw 2 ep3r's this last wkend - 1 on parramatta rd parked at lights on sunday and other at rhodes shopping center on sat. Both about midday.

Steering isnt that bad - u just got to learn to feel wat the rest of the car is doing as u dont get as much through the wheel as u did before the digital era
May have been me on Sunday if its the stretch of Parra Rd between city and Stanmore.

+1 on an EP3 meetup before X'mas!

[Mugen_B16B]

after christmas? ill be down syd on the 2nd lol

[icecrm]

May have been me on Richmond road

[EGBOY]

what does it mean by shit, like not responsive or precise or lack of road feel?


its overcompensated with the eps system and just makes it feel like your not driving the car, your fighting with it. i'm thinking of getting rid of the eps system totally and just run a manual rack no PS.

[kriZy]

anyone bringing the ep3 for show @ the autosalon?

[Seren1ty]

So anyone wanna organize a meet? Or we could all tag along to a cruise this Friday - meet at caltex at heathcott @ 7:30pm. All u need is a full tank of fuel and be prepared to go for a 2-3 hr drive / cruise through some open roads and apparently some excellent b-roads aswell. Was originally a ford meet but it's open to all an a good chance to smoke some aussie trash lol

[xtercii]

I guess 0-100km would be pretty hard for individual to measure and it would be pretty inaccurate as well?

[bradb16a]

i'm up for a meet someone make it happen

[denrie]

anyones EP3 engine mounts break or stuff up? mine did today and i heard that oem EP3 mounts are weak...

[mp-]

I also heard the same. I heard that the ep3s engine mount is fairly weak and is the most common prob for this car. :( (how much would it cost to replace/fix anyway?)

[typercivic]

they are known to be soft and weak, that's why sometimes when driving the car might feel jumpy as such when shifting. there are different mounts available ranging from about $400 upwards + labour depending on the exchange rate.

If you go for uprated ones then there will be more NVH in the cabin, it's a trade off really. When i had my car i went for a J's Racing strut brace with engine torque damper as a stop gap solution and just set it on a low to medium stiffness and it worked well but it depends on what you are using the car for be it just street driving or track work as well.

lucky Gavin from IMG gave me the number to his mechanic so im just going to replace the left engine mount for $50. Gavin also said that im like the 7th person that complained about the engine mounts...sucks!

[denrie]

so when are we having and EP3 meet? lol lets have one before Christmas!!

[p3p5y]

Did IMG recommend you to their mechanic in North Concord? They were the ones they referred me to when I had some warranty issues that needed addressing.

Also will you have to supply the mounts as well for them to replace it?

[denrie]

Gavin recommended me to go there its ABC something its off parramatta rd. not too sure if its in North Concord though but it might be. I didn't have to supply the part they ordered it in for me.

[mp-]

i spoke to Andrew from IMG and he told me that if ur still under warranty, they will fix it for u.

[Mugen_B16B]

anyones EP3 engine mounts break or stuff up? mine did today and i heard that oem EP3 mounts are weak...

yeah there pretty soft, im getting mine checked up today along with a steering rack problem, just waiting on the news of how the mounts are if there still ok ill prob just get a strut and spoon torque mount but if there stuffed then new mounts

[denrie]

yeh my whole car and engine is shaking. but if u get aftermarket mounts like hasport or avid there is alot more vibration aswell.

[denrie]

what does EP3 do quarter mile stock??

[Mugen_B16B]

got my car back from my mechanic, need new mounts cause there stuffed lol

anyone using different mounts in there ep3's that could give me a run down on how they are? i was thinking avids

[denrie]

Mine to i'm thinking whether i should get a Hasport, Avid or just another OEM replacement. Avid and Hasport has alot of vibrations because the mounts are really stiff.

[Mugen_B16B]

i was thinking innovative, they have 3 types so im guessing the lower ones shouldnt be to harsh compared to avid and hasport

[typercivic]

Mugen mounts are basically OEM replacement, have heard from others who have tried them that if you want to put something that is a bit stronger but pretty much feels as if you have stock mounts then Mugen is the way to go.

[Shinobi]

ive got avid installed on mine..car rattles vibrates.i miss my oem mount :(

[denrie]

where can I get innovative mounts? and how much is it?

[Mugen_B16B]

the states, looking at 500+ shipped

i tried to look around for mugen or spoon replacement inserts but couldnt find any, u got a link or no who i could get them from?

[denrie]

nah i don't sorry. try looking at the Spoon or Mugen website type it in goodle and theres and english page there might be one there..

[EG5]

Innovative , Avid Racing , Hasport = They all will produce very similar vibration. But those mounts will handle any abuse on circuit or drag strip.

If you want something abit stiffer than OEM , try Spoon or Mugen engine mounts.

[mp-]

what is the result of the mount being stiffer? is it heaps of vibration?

[Mugen_B16B]

spoon/mugen ones sounds good, know where i can find a set?

[denrie]

I am going overseas soon for about 2 months. Is there anything i should take note in? like not starting the car for the whole 2 months or anything?

[typercivic]

Disconnect the battery or just have a trickle charger on it so the battery doesn't go flat,

have as little fuel in it as possible and when you get back take it really easy on the car as the fuel will be stale,

and also give the car a good clean before you leave as you don't want any dirt or bug poo etc etching into the clear or dirt on the wheels just caking on and so on so on.

Cool! Thanks for the info. I'll make sure i'll do all that before I leave! Thanks again! :p

[typercivic]

No probs, happy to help. If i were you, use a trickle charger as then you don't lose radio stations and also don't have to worry about then resetting your power windows as well.

would u recomend stuff like that if going away for 2 weeks?

[protege]

Hey guys, Im currently new to the Honda scene and just sold my S15 and was looking at buying a civic type R, I fell in love with the Ep3 and the current shape one. Just wanted to check, how are parts like? expensive? are they hard to get? are there many around? how quick are they? I had a silvia so parts were cheap and easy to get.. When purchasing my ep3 is there anything i should look out for to make sure its genuine JDM? as i've been told there from the U.K but japan also?

any help would be appreciated.

[Mugen_B16B]

parts are pretty hard to find, used i mean but if ur talking brand new theres a few traders around who can get the goods for u but prices wont be very friendly

imo i reckon ep3's would be harder to get now cause of the current us dollar so low i doubt importers would wanna import until the dollar goes better so ur best chance would be to look for a private sale, EGBOY and EGADS are both selling there ep3's with minor mods so thats a bonus

i heard that only the jdm ep3 came in champ white and UK came in other colors? correct me anyone if im wrong, cluster 180km, lsd gb, thats all i could think of atm but thats my 2 cents

[denrie]

EP3R/DC5R Top Fuel Carbon Fiber Intake is now up for sale...anyone interested?

[protege]

Well im looking for a Ep3 atm, anyone selling one with mods in melb? pm me price mods etc!

thanks!

[typercivic]

would u recomend stuff like that if going away for 2 weeks?

it wouldn't hurt with all three of those things but being 2 weeks it isn't as much of an issue, the only thing i would really take into account is the battery as it is a pain if it goes flat. The other two it is more up to you i guess pending time constraints to clean the car but it would be best to do that obviously.

[stoj19]

what is with everyone and moving from S15s?

and how do EP3 stack up against them? I reckon if they were both standard the EP3 would seriously have a chance against the S15

[SuperSteve]

stock jdm ep3 up against the aussie s15. S15 i would say would have no chance but if it was jdm s15 then mayb might b a different story

[EK1.6LCIV]

I'd rather the EP3, as S15s have a badly designed box when compared to previous sil gens (S13,S14).

Saw one of the EP3s the other day at Honda getting something for it, very solid car, still yet to drive one

[Malenic1981]

Boys just had my car dyno tuned with apexi vafc2, mods are gruppeM air intake and Fujitsubo RM-01A catback exhaust, result is 175hp@wheels, my tuner recon I could get 180 if it was cooler day but here in perth it was just over 30 yeaterday so yeah pretty hot. Anyway car is running very smooth and makes power all the way into the red line.
I'll try to put dyno sheet up soon. Overall I'm very happy with the result, it's making more power than my S2K and DC2R use to make.

[egads]

thats just over 131kw, very nice, though pity about the weather. there is definitely more in it since i made 129.8kw, but your mods > my mods

[Poeter]

Does stock ep3 dyno at around 120kw atw?

egads' results is pretty good considering he has only mugen airbox and mugen catback i believe.

[Malenic1981]

i got told that good header (prob toda) would give me maybe extra 10hp at wheels and more power in mid range, definitly something I want to get in future, but at the moment everything is so expensive cos of our $$$$ getting farked :(
One other thing I like about this set up is sound, it's almost like a stock car when driving normaly but once you hit 6000rpm it changes to lovely sound, and I think gruppeM makes more sound than exhaust hehe.

[egads]

Does stock ep3 dyno at around 120kw atw?

yes, give or take. 120-125kw. :cool:

Gotta love gruppem.

I got one on my jazz and it sounds awesome when the throttle opens up.

But the filter itself cost an arm when you need to replace it :(

epic! lol

mmmm I really need to upgrade from the stock intake, but I'm very happy with a complete stock EP3 at the moment

[SuperSteve]

yeah ep3 do around 120kw at the wheels give or take a lil

when i got my ep3 i got it dyno'ed stock and it was 119.3kw. Now ive got a gruppe m and toda cat back exhaust and doing 137.6kw. I gained quiet abit of power once the intake was installed and also the awesome sound of the engine opening up when in vtec :D

malenic try and get a dyno when the weather a bit cooler :D bl that the weather was abit warm that sucks. Also yeah the gruppe m makes more noise then the cat back yeah ?? thats what i reckon aswell ! ! lol

[Malenic1981]

Man very hard to get cool weather in perth at the moment, today was like almost 40 hehe, prob have to wait until summer is over.

yeah gruppe does make more noise than cat back hehe

does anyone know how often does filter need changing in gruppeM??
and how much is it

[Poeter]

i think after 30000km you need to replace it.

Last time i checked and found it was very expensive. Most gruppem intake use the same filter and cost $300+. Especially since our AUD is not very good, it will hurt our wallet quite dearly.

[Malenic1981]

30000km?? that's ok, it's gonna take me at least couple of years (if not more) to do that much, I work away from home so I don't get to drive it much

[xtercii]

get 3in exhaust and top end headers from the states and crack 150kw!!

[Malenic1981]

3" exhaust would be too noisy for everyday driving

[n5920787]

I want to get a Gruppe M intake but the best price i found is $1,166.
http://shop.xposed.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=78

Anyone know any better prices?
& does anyone have a injen intake?

[egads]

says australian gruppem distributor, but is it authorised?

[kriZy]

$1,166 your kidding me right!?

steve, how much did you get yours when our AUD was up?

[SuperSteve]

$1,166 your kidding me right!?

steve, how much did you get yours when our AUD was up?

i got mine when aussie dollar was good and when gruppe m japan had a discount going but i think they stopped it now. I paid a total of 850 bucks

cant u get a k&n filter cleaner kit to keep it clean and make it last longer ??

[typercivic]

i got mine the same way Steve did, paid $870 odd i think.

Just get the k&n cleaner kit for about $30 and do it every 5000km and you will never need to replace the filter, blow it out with some compressed air first then follow the instructions on the cleaner kit.

[Malenic1981]

Ok went for drags tonight, was pretty good with lots of different cars, anyway my best time was 14.5, also did 15.07 on my first run, 14.7 and 14.8, I'm pretty happy with 14.5 I didn't strip the car or take tyre pressure down, so it was same as driven on street, my biggest problem was wheel spin on take offs (pretty much first gear), power wise I love ep3, once I hit second gear and get grip it flys.
Room for improvment? yes definitly, I don't think I need more power just more grip, with more grip I think car would be able to brake into 13s, plus some weight reduction it could be pretty fast, well I hope in 09 I'll be hitting 13s hehe
My mates did 13.2 (Evo 6 TME), WRX STi 13.3 and Lexus IS-F 12.8 (love that IS-F)

[kriZy]

14.8?

an EK4 could do that with simple mods (zorst + CAI)
not tryna put you down Malenic.
I just expected more from the EP3

[Mugen_B16B]

12.8 in a ISF!!! woah nice time

[Malenic1981]

14.5 was my best time, as for EK doing that time with CAI and zorst, good luck mate hehe, don't know if you ever went for drags but it's not that simple, I use to have DC2R I was doing 14.7 with it (later my mate managed 14.3), with S2K I did 14.9 so EP3 is pretty good
if I had better traction 13s would be very possible, power of EP3 is not problem here it's just traction on takeoffs

IS-F is bloody fast and powerfull :)

[SuperSteve]

14.5 is a good time for ur first time considering u havent had ur car for long :) good work Malenic. Go acouple more times and u should hit the 13s for sure mate. EP3 has power its just the launch that screws us up because as u stated the car wheel spins heaps. Ive taken my car to drag way once and my best time i did was 14.1. Im going to purchase bridgestone adrenalins and i reckon the car will easily hit the 13s for sure because i ran the 14.1 with my worn out kumho tyres. Cool thing was aswell i cherped 2nd and 3rds :D (haha it feels good at the time but means nothing i know :( )
Also on the night i went to the drags there was another ep3 there aswell. His been there quiet a few times and he just has a airtake intake setup and catback and his best time he has managed was 13.8. So yeah power and grip is good but it also comes down to experience of the driver aswell and knowing how to launch ur car.

Good work again Malenic let us know anymore times u do later on down the track :)

[Malenic1981]

thanks man, I'll go again when they restart drag season here

Yeah i was was there if it was at eatern creek. I spoke to him too and Nepolian did 13.8 aswell with Intake and Catback. Anyone from here that was at Great Western yesterday and was beeping at me? lol

[Malenic1981]

what sort of speed do you guys do at the end of 1/4??

[EP3EVA]

i wanted HID for my EP3 R so what bulbs it is??

yeh i want to buy from this Trader:

[SuperSteve]

but on my 14.2 time i had a top speed of 161km/hr

weird :S

[EP3EVA]

and yeah what type of headlight bulbs do EP3 R have??

sorry just so noob Q's there!.......just want to make sure before hand!

[Malenic1981]

hmm I had 157km/h on my 14.5 run, too much wheel spin hehe

[SuperSteve]

hmm I had 157km/h on my 14.5 run, too much wheel spin hehe

yeah probably the wheel spin gets the km/hr up ! >_< goddam wheel spin lol i gotta learn how to launch better

hey what rpm did u launch at ??

[Malenic1981]

on my best run (14.5) was around 3.5K, but I was sort of riding the clutch, the other times it was 4, 4.5k

[EG5]

on my 14.1 time i had a top speed of 157km/hr
but on my 14.2 time i had a top speed of 161km/hr

How long does it take to install the injen intakes & how do you guys find when driving through puddles, any issues?

& .nhi. was that you I saw lastnight at marketsquare?

[Poeter]

Well you can't drive through puddles. You must avoid puddles at all costs.

You risk having hydrolock on your engine and the damage becomes irreparable.

Nah my EP3 is all stock! Probably going to fit a CAI sometime in the future as I really want to hear my VTEC open up! Custom catback ex, go intake first :D

[SuperSteve]

i reckon u will unlock more power with aftermarket intake > upgrading ur stock exhaust

i found that the stock intake is really restrictive with my car

Plus u will hear ur vtec more aswell with aftermarket intake :)

[EP3EVA]

Yeh i tho of CAI..SuperSteve i know you got Gruppe-m and it make good power out of it.

But are they are $1,400 to my door!!..hell so Expensive.,

I have look at other CAI but all of them to need to remove front bar and wheels..plus is scaring driving in the rain...unlike Gruppe-m,has the best CAI setup but just a bit too expensive!!

yeh could anyone now still can get it for 1k to melb??

I have a clay bar actually and was going to give it a try over the holidays. Just need to get off my lazy arse...

I learnt a really neat trick recently to remove road grime. These are the little brown spots that usually sit on the lower couple of inches of the body work. A friend told me to try "dissolvit". It is a citrus-based cleaner used to remove gummy type residue like sticky tape residue. I was a bit sceptical but I thought I would give it a shot on a car I'm selling. And it worked an absolute treat! The road grime literally ran off the body work. I would give this a shot. It is citrus based so it won't harm your body work if you wash it off.

haha the intake was pretty quick to install... i got a lil help :P... but it's easy to do on ur own.... and i havent driven through puddles... avoiding it is the best way

how do you shut your bonnets to avoid pressure dents? drop it shut? or rest it down then push it closed. i say this as my sisters polo has pressure dents on the bonnet due to this reason. what is the best way/ proceedure to close the bonnet without denting it?

spotted a pre facelift CW EP3 with Buddyclub front bar and wheels at Sunnybank Plaza this morning. anyone here owns this?

[dyljoy]

I saw this car couple times around sunnybank, I thought the car is yours?

[Philip Lee]

nop. mine is a facelifted.

there is another facelifted around Sunnybank which is owned by a lady. she's on OH too.

[dyljoy]

oic, then I thought her car is the one i met around before, sorry for missunderstand about that coz i am not familiar with EP3.

[Philip Lee]

haha no worries man. i very rarely park my car in public places. actually that car is stock with BC coilovers so this bc front bar one is a different car again.

EP3s are getting popular.

[dyljoy]

Ya, agree, but I just wondering how come EP3 always in white or blk on road here? coz they just have such colour?

[Philip Lee]

JDM EP3 has CW, black and red. Silver is available for Comfort Package as well.

CW and black are most popular, red is the rarest.

[n5920787]

Was my first car, and although it was an auto, guess it grew on me over the 3yrs i had it.
Cried when i totalled it in the rain though :(

Guess that's wat made me really like the EP3 even though the difference between what i had and the EP3 is heaven and earth!! hahaha

I have just found a set of wind deflectors for an EP3 sitting under my bed from when i had the car, they are not the JDM ones but the other type that everyone in the U.K uses. I think it is Heko brand(search on google) and are free to a good home. I am in W.A and can wrap it up etc and send it off as long as the buyer pays for postage.

Just let me know.

That's $1,150.00 to your door?? can you still get it for that much?

That's $1,150.00 to your door?? can you still get it for that much?

Currently Xposed is selling for $1287 inc shipment. Unless you know someone going to Japan then you can get it for 650. Or you can wait till our dollar gets up to 75ish.

Shit your Car look so clean, yeh i heard that you want to go lower?? why?? is low enuff(just rite)

hmm the black rubber thing is it a sticker style rubber you just stick over the lip??

or is it a extension thingy?

Where can you get if for $650 if you know someone going to Japan????? Please tell as I have a friend going to Japan :eek:

Speaking to my friend(jap dude), he told me that you shouldn't be paying the full 92000 yen thats currently advertised on the gruppe m site if you are in Japan. He said you should be looking at paying no more than 50 to 60 000 yen for new intake.
When is your friend going?
