Squad.
Hi guys. I am new to the forum so please forgive me for asking any silly question.
I have recently bought a 2002 EP3 and found some problems this morning when i was driving to work.
There was a griding / squeaky sound (dont really know how to decribe it exaclty) when i steer. It only happen during low speed (below 30km/h), mostly when i was parking. I tried keep turning in a constant speed (5km/h) and the disturbing sound keeps going.
I have heard that there is a common issue on EP3s with the steering rack. Will that be the problem in this case?
Also i will try posting a video or a record of that sound tomorrow.
Thanks
Hey guys
Could you tell which O'briens you rang for the windscreen. Phone number would be great. I tried our local branch...FAIL.
Why must things be so hard when you live in the middle of nowhere
maybe EPcr3w so it enhances the EP3 bitQuote:

in case you don't know what it is, it is something like this:

i have fitted some on my last car and it was very good and i want to get them for the EP3. the link above is made by a UK shop called Tegiwa. i wonder if there are other brands that make these stuff for our cars. (Cusco doesn't make one for the EP3).
How much of a difference did you notice when you had this installed on your last car?Quote:

This part is 28 pounds shipped here (roughly aud$50). So quite cheapish and I think it's very good value for money.
But I just wonder if there are other alternatives. If not I'll go ahead.

Well I'd be happy with anything < aud$50 shipped. Do u have more info of the local distributor?
Thx
Lol I thought GB is not allowed here. Maybe u can ask the syd guys and order together and I'd do the same with the bne guys.Quote:

hey guys need alil bit of help. Im preping my car for track day and i thought mayb i might take out my rear seats 2 save some weight seeing im a big boy lol.
I can remove the bottom bit of the rear seat but i cant figure out how to take out the back bit. Usually u got a few bolts holding it down but i cant see any.
Thanks for the info. O'briens have been in touch and the glass is on its way to Townsville. Should be all done before easter :)
$390 installed...A little dear IMO, but what the hell.
Thanks again.
PS god damn the EP3 has bought all the Mazda SP, holden and ford dickheads out.....Everyone wants a piece of it.... So far I have refrained from obliging...dont know if i can hold out much longer....
Hey yaQuote:

Can anyone tell me what the most aggressive wheel size/offset would be for an ep3? I am looking at some 18x8.5 +30. Is this going to be too wide/too crazy an offset? I really wanna fill the guards
Too wide even with camber and rolled guards. 7.5-8 inch and 30 offset max IMO... otherwise it'd be too difficult to manage and would have to run big camber.Quote:

hey guys took my short ram off the other day, to get a blue slip, and sadly i no longer have a cross over sound - either that, or my exhaust is drowing it out
this makes me :(
question:
should i invest in a cold air, or will the hondata air box mod give me the sound i love, without the bother of money spent
which will then make me :)
try the air box mod, its free
I doubt the airbox will give u the sound but if u r gonna spent $$ , get a Cai.
Hey guys,
The ep3 that crashed was my friends girlfriend, ashleigh. Some dickhead that blitz a red t-boned them...she broke her pelvis and her friend broke her collar bone. Car is pretty much totalled. Poor girl. Keep her in our thoughts, and remember before we try and run that amber light next time the repercussions that can occur.
Twest,

does the american ep3 intake fit, i think they run a k20a3 - and i imagine the direction of the pipe to the front would be the same since it's the same chassis-ish .. but would it connect in to the throttle body as per normal??
Yeh, just used a flathead to pop the mesh out.Quote:

mine fit fine, no mod to the CAI kit at all. all bolt on and play.
DC5 CAI won't fit our car (except probably the Mugen airbox).
hope everything is ok man, glad that she is ok and a life is way more important than a carQuote:

Got a big crack (about 25cm long) on my windscreen while driving back up to Sydney =( How do I go about getting a replacement windscreen?
Just got mine ordered through O'briens.
Everywhere else just tilted their heads, frowned and said I gave them an incorrect VIN number......
