oh in that case that sucks...i have eu ones too. oem ones look really good with the dark tint areas and the amber/orange thing on sides....
btw its so fkn hard to find wreckers for ep3r.....im trying to find a rubber moulding thing that holds the window in place but still no luck....ffs
i can get u guys a pair of ep3 hl if u like, shoot me pm plz
can anyone pop up a side by side photo to compare the two lights? i never noticed a difference

the headlights came like that and I been trying to source the original as well.
I got a gut feeling its a diy jobbie, because there are still honda marking on the headlights

any tips/things to bear in mind for buying ep3R?
im thinking of getting one fairly soon. they all show very low kms and good condition!
any help would be much appreciated
do the usual checks like any other cars. Check for driver and front mounts if its showing tear they are usually first to go.
poor EP3 with the door damage @ the usual spot
lol
Generally reliable car. just a few issues to look for:
- engine mounts as said by Perry. common problem, not costly to fix;
- steering rack noise. also common issue, just need to grease it up;
- central locking stuff up. just need to replace it, aftermarket stuff will do;
- lever on the recaro falls off, very easy to fix, can be DIY.
also check the following:
- check the equipments to see if you are buying a normal type r or a Comfort package (most common);
- check if the car has factory HID if it's a C package. (some RAW replaced them with normal helogens);
otherwise general used car checks.
i think u need to replace the tie rod ends and drill some holes bigger.Quote:

Hi guys, I'm in Perth and would like to get an EP3 but they are hard to find here. I need your recommendations as to any good and trustworthy dealers or private sellers from over east to get one from. I wanted to get one from JSA but after some research I think maybe not. Any help will be good guys so that I can join your ranks!
I just sent you pm ;)
Cheers nepolian and phil!
btw has anyone heard of BC coilovers? Any good? recommendation?
i had bc coilovers on my ek. they were good recommend for bang for buck mate!Quote:

Lol they are stickers..
Guys with no CF covers, u r just jealous! They're not stickers, as if Honda would just make stickers to stick on! They are CF moulded in plastic that sticks on to the panels.....so lets end this debate haters! ;)
well $200 + shopping for a piece of bling that doesn't cover up the whole panel (bits of silver bits exposed around the air cond dials etc). each to their own i guess....
yeh they dont look that good, so just give them to me.Quote:

Hi everyone, anyone here with an ep3r running buddyclub racing spec coilovers? I got mine installed but my left front wheel has extremely bad toe out which is to the point of being un-drivable, my mech says the coilover might not even be for my car as the suspension geometry changed drastically which it shouldnt have when changing to specific coilovers for a model, even though my front right wheel is straight as an arrow and the rears fit... any help is greatly appreciated.
hey, i got them on my car.. so what was your question?Quote:
