Hmmm all very good points guys. I've got some thinking to do :)
Was that all mounts needed for that price Benny?Quote:

Hey do you guys what this "something" is?
What are you talking about? K24?? If so, nothing needs to be changed if you're using a Euro motor, all stock internals can be used.....not even the head....complete waste of a good K20!Quote:

i just heard from another thread that "something" has to be taken out from the k24 block. Not really a waste because the block of the k20 is seized..Quote:

Any suggestions? A rethreading kit I guess would be great but I can't get one right at this moment because everything is closed unless someone in the liverpool area has one and is willing to save my life right now....need to get the car out of the driveway.
Also would it be safe to just put some strong piece of metal through the pin hole in the nut and possibly drive it to JAX or somewhere and get the screw re-threaded?
Nevermind...It's in now. Persuaded it with a grinder.
Hey all, i'm debating whether or not to get a sunroof installed on my ep3. What are people's opinion's on this yes or bad? Ive tried looking for pics on the net but cant find any, or maybe im not looking hard enough, if ne1 can find some 1 for me would be appreciated.
From what I heard, sunroof will compromise the rigidity of your car.
If you don't care about the minute loss of performance then I guess it's ok.
if you ask me i'd so no.Quote:

I myself was thinking about a sunroof on my Ep3 but found out the roof would being fragile meaning the roof will vibrate at certain speeds but it would be anything.
glass roof is the word!
wow that would give u heaps of street cred plus weight reduction..... interesting...... hmmmmQuote:

anyone used ARC super induction box before? how does it perform?
just averaging a very mediocre 250ks out of 30l of 98 mobil or caltex. Around town ofcourse.
Anything apart from usual servicing that drastically alters a k20s mileage ? Bad fuel filter etc ?
to much vtec yo ! heheQuote:

such a hoon Ben lots of street cred there.
yeah bad fuel, use to only get 260km/30 cause had old engine oil and a indonesian filter and never dared to use up the reserve fuel. problem fixed oem filter and angloil got me like first run aorund town for over a week was about 380km now its averaging 330-360km. filling it like 35l so im guessing theres 10litres as reserve? try bp/shell instead? shop at coles as an incentive to get 4cs off cause im asian
twest is it urgent? try shift first, hannys?
full tank of vpower ill get 400-420
bp 450+
caltex 380<
anything else just isnt the right thing to do, i filled 2 tanks of freedom 98 octane e10 cause my friend told me its sooo good on his s7 rx7, i had fuel problems after a few days after the 2nd tank cause it picked up so much shit in the filter, took out the filter cleaned it up then put it back in and was all sweet, 2 weeks later i heard his 13b motor died LOL, his mech told him it was the fuel
sorry for the noob question but the search function on this forum isnt great...
bout to hit 80,000km on the ep3 just wondering if there's anything i need to know for service? (what engine oil do you guys recommend? etc..)
any info is greatly appreciated .. needs a service stat!
i used castrol edge 5-30, its wat christinano ronaldo uses apparently

Castrol Edge 0W40 is also very good for our car, Honda oil filter and Honda gear box oil.

hmmm they dont look like inverted tie rod ends. They look like ur ordinary standard design + the better rubber boot. Check with shift to confirm they are inverted that u are gettingQuote:
