John, you should be getting more km's from your tank. Might be worth getting it checked out. :)

Theres a couple of underwriters lurking on the web...cant think of any off the top of my head...let you know when I think of it!

I drive 10mins to and from work everyday as well, the car spends more time warming up then me driving it. I got I/H/E and I get 9-10L/100km. Even on the Great Alpine Road I still averaged 10L/100km.Quote:

Now the car was imported around 65,000km, so I assume they did a major then.
Should I do a major now, or should I delay it? The manual says the 80,000 is a major.
Thanks.
i personally changed all fluids straight after buying the car. if it's me i'd get the major done now for peace of mind.
get abit lazy to warm up the car before heading off. i'll refill next week or so and probably drive around for longer and warm the car up before driving? usually get more fuel out of bp ultimate rather than shell vpower.Quote:

How do you lot find the EPS ? IVe heard complaints of excessive torque steer with daily driving.
Ben, it really depends on how you drive (i.e accelerate & steer) that could cause this, but really 99% of the time it's not an issue.Quote:

I have a pre FL and acceleration at around 7k on a corner will make it torque like a bitch, but at the particular point I am usually hanging on pretty tight :)
And its a daily drive ..Suburb - Highway - Suburbs with zero traffic :) and and then return during peak traffic :(
Get around 620 - 650 Km on Ron98.
Oh and its noisy and my large ass finds the recaros very hard and uncomfortable.
Love every minute of it :)
Just wondering can u adjust how far the steering wheel comes out on the EP3R? I am guessing not cos its a type r and they wanted to save weight LOL
only adjustable up and down, could always pull your chair forward.Quote:

Anyway i been looking at the pre FL and FL EP3R
Is the Red Honda badge at the front bigger in the FL EP3R? Cos it looks gigantic in all the photos i have seen!
Yeah, Honda got complaints that no one noticed the H on the PFL's.Quote:

I mean seriously!!! that's ridiculously expensive for a 37 year old
I think you're looking at all the wrong places. Over 30 u shouldn't be paying over 1k......unless you have bad claim history. Shop around, also I find that phone calls net cheaper quotes for some reason! Something for u to think about u old dog :)Quote:

Thx
I have a Willans Harness installed, the eyebolt fitted directly into the seat rail. Not sure if they are using different eyebolts??? Im guessing they must if yours wont fit..Quote:

The online quoting system they use is pretty handy too. Couldnt be bothered getting phone quote so just went through their online payment facility - whole process took 5-10mins to complete.Quote:

pretty bs if you ask me
if I have 2002 model with stock HID, what type of bulb does it use?
The Stock ones are Phillips 4200k D2R. Phillips makes a 6000k but if you wanted any higher you'd have to go some other generic brand. Also don't buy D2S as they wont work. :)Quote:

hey guys im from victoria. wondering what's the registration process involved in buying a ep3R?
the car hasnt been reg in australia. what are all the fees that will apply (sorry for the noob question).
any help will be much appreciated!!!
Well......it'd need to be complied for it to be able to be registered. And then you'd need to have it inspected (blue slip/RTA in Sydney) by the relevant inspection stations and register as per usual at the road authorities.
As for fees you'd need to look at the authorities website!
I'd personally buy one in Australia so it can be seen and negotiated. A few in Sydney has gone for way under 20K.....cheap!!!
Dw found my answer
hay guys let me know if anyone loooking for an ep3 23K all mugen ....will be for sale in the next 3 weeks .... moving on to bigger and better things.. have about 5K ep3 of parts i will be posting for sale soon...

Questions for fellow EP3R owners -
Need clutch. Might as well opt for new mounts / flywheel at the same time - what are you lot using ? I was thinking exedy organic clutch kit , either FL OE flywheel or exedy lightweight flywheel - and innovative mounts.
Ill save on labour doing the entire job myself ofcourse. But where to purchase the above from , EBAY-links etc ? (dont tell me JDM YARD etc , i want to save some money :) )
Also , anyone replaced their clutch master cylinder ? mine was overly lubricated from the previous owners servicing , and within a few ks of ownership its squeeky as buggery :)
Where do you Sydney guys get your Honda MTF06 oil cheapest from? and how many litres is required for gb oil change? :)
dunno about the first bit but i think you'll need 2 bottle if irc.Quote:

hmm try mekong auto spares in canley if your in the area? they usually have cheaper prices if you want i can go grab a price for you since im in need of fluid changing soon.
Finally finished reading all 734 pages of this thread. Good read and good info. Answered most of my questions I was going to ask.
any of you Sydney siders have a FL flywheel lying around ? need asap !
Ben let me know if you ended up getting a aftermarket flywheel.
