NOiiiiiiiiice
what colour?
Lol @ Torque steer...yes it does. Other things I have noted on my new 02 EP3..Its rough, can hear every bit of road noise, uncomfitable, the stock speakers suck and the torque steer...
Bottom line, I aint never selling it.
This car has put me back in touch with why I like to drive. No fancy traction do wiccy or auto stabilizing road whats it. Havent felt like this since my 76 LH I had when I was an apprentice all those years ago.
Yes my wifes Huyndai soccer mum fake 4wd is nice to take away on family trips(FYI they aint allowed in or near the EP3, but that will change I guess), but the ep3 seems to be in a whole different league for me, even test driving all the fancy cars the guys at work have has left me knowing I made the right choice.
K sorry for the rant, back to reality..
Oil change what breed and type is best for the K20A ?
Have no mods yet other than the Mugen TL, tho looks like the CAI is a nice idea.
Thanks again
Scott
CW FTW! Coming from a CL9 the ep3r is much much more fun!
Agree with the statement above!
Gear ratios are perfect love how it just revs and revs!
No mod plans as it is tuned very well from factory.
Anyone have a stock axleback they want to trade for a 2.25 custom?
Congrads guys. After owning mine for 2 years I'm still not bored with mine.
With engine oil, I used Castrol Edge 5w30 and gearbox is very sensitive so I stick with Honda MTF06.
Same as me. I've had it for 2 years and not sick of it yet. Not much done to it as well. Pretty much stock.
owned mine for 3months love every bit of it. first two weeks in was awesome and it got even better when i threw in a intake!!
weve owned our ep3 for about same amount of time lol. johno do you have a brother named truong ?Quote:

Hi All,
Just having some trouble with my EP3 atm, hope someone can help me out. My SRS Light came on a few weeks ago, I thought nothing much of it and decided to disconnect the battery to see if that would reset everything, which it didnt. Has anyone else had this problem before? If so how was it fixed? Or if no one has had this before, does anybody know how to fix it?
Cheers all and safe driving.
Does the horns and break lights work? check your fuses its using the case.Quote:

c1v1c - look in the diy section for a thread on how to reset your srs light system first, otherwise take it to a honda mech to check the code with their machine thing, to make sure nothing is actually not working. if the light is on, the bags wont work, so look in to it sooner than later!
in other news, since i got the car back from clutch work, i noticed one niggly thing thing.
my drivers window, if opened, then closed - closes to the top, pauses a moment, then comes down on its own to around the window visor level, and stops there. if i close it again, if goes up, pauses, then opens again to the same level. however - if i lock the door, the window goes up (as per my alarm) and stays closed - so i know the motor works properly. when i unlock, it remains fully closed, until i open and try to close it again.
ideas?

I'm a little different. After driving boosted car, when I get back into the EP I enjoy it more.
boost car prob fast but the fuel consuming is pain in ass i guess...Quote:

Haha.i still lurve it.
Hi Guys!
Just thinking about swapping my cw for a black one, yes no? Also, buddy club spoiler or airwalker front lip? thanks!
ep3's look best in cw......dont do it lol
Quick question, putting a K24 bottom end requires a lot of work?
Reason being owning a CL9 previously, K20 head on the K24 block required basically all the K20 components but now with the EP3...
all the components are there except the bottomend...
your thoughts?
stay with CW and get air walker!!!Quote:

I'm sure there's a little more than that otherwise a lot more DC5 owners would have K24 powers too.
Thanks guys! Does 799.00 AUD for air walker sound a bit exxy? That's not including shipping, let me know if you know locals who have it. Cheers :)
999 Automotive in Brisbane can ship mugen lip for ep3, its around $750 AUD shipped.Quote:

You're welcome! I was looking at mugen myself, why don't you get airwalker with me? I'm migrating back to brisbane soon, so you can be the one and only airwalker in melbourne.Quote:

Now worries just say you buy the $900 + another $500 for paint just a rough estimate.Quote:

Hello EP3 Owners,
I'm flirting with the idea of selling my current car and buying an EP3 Civic Type R. Would like an 05 update model in Championship White. :)
Can anyone give me some indication of pricing according to kms and year model? Also does anyone have first hand experience about dealing with an import broker (eg. J-Spec, Prestige Motorsport, SVi, etc).
Thanks,
Pete
Hi Pete,
I know IMG in Sydney just got one in and they are selling it, if your paying cash he will do a decent price.
just so you know ep3's are great cars. quick for na. but theyre hard to sell haha.
+1 to IMG
Well I think if u r not planning to keep it long, being $20k+ seems a little hard to sell but I'm not concerned as I'm keeping mine for a few years still and I think they won't be too hard to sell when price drops.
yeh i dont ever plan to sell mine.....its too good :)
yeah the problem is, it seems most people who wants an EP3 now would rather buy an import over local cars.
I went thru Jspec with Ben last year. Good guy!
Gotta be patient but haha
And its getting affordable with the EP3's.
Thanks for all of your input guys - much appreciated! :D
yeah go to IMG to check out that 04 face lifted. seems pretty good priced.
anyone heading to eastern creek this friday or sat for the world time attack thing
im gonna head down and try my luck at some motorsport photography hahahaha
I'm going there on Saturday Jimmy. What camera you got? I'll bring mine too! :P
I might come down too :) Also, does anyone know what light fitting the number plate bulbs are? Is it t10?
Also does anyone have some CW honda center caps for sale? My rear ones got faded by some stupid wheel cleaner i used...sigh.
Need some too, but for the silver rims :(Quote:
