I'm thinking Skunk2, been around for years and have great reviews across all vehicle makes. Any suggestions on other names would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to order it now while I'm away:) and have a little prezzie sitting at home when I get back:P

Try this mate . . . http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/intak...vs-skunk2.html

Save your money and get the RBC. Did I mention the price?

Edit: The 'well known, good quality brand' you are buying here is one called 'Honda'.

Faarrk. I tried finding something like that but couldn't find anything hey. Thanks man:)

Totally disregard that other post.. it was some crazy guy, doesnt know what he's doing:P

Just ridiculous that they can be basically the same, and for $500 odd cheaper.

It's more common than you might think mate, especially with cars that have a cult following like the EP3, people see a part all nice and shiny, and they assume they have to pay through the a$$ for it. Its not always the case. There are plenty of EP3 parts that do the same job as their very very very expensive counterparts for a reasonable price. Plenty.

hey guyth

i hate the feel of high rpm shifts, especially 2nd to 3rd. ive read discussions on how solid engine mounts improve shifting and general driving feel.

th ep3r is only a weekend warrior for the street, so between hasport and innovative engine mounts, which do you guys recommend. i dont mind the vibrations, i jsut want my high rpm shifts to feel smooth and slick.

Im running Hasports as I heard the bushings in the innovative mounts starts to "oval out". Currently running 70a in the rear and 60 on the front and side.

when flooring it you can really feel the power going to the wheels. Solid base and cable shifter bushings also help with shifting.

Try Honda original parts?

Arm and a leg I'd say plus they won't have it order in part from Japan probably don't even make anymore.

jdmconcept and the like can source it for you. unless your car is 30 years old there will always be OEM parts floating around. even brand new

skunk2's been going through some hectic shizznit lately too. there was a massive incident on the k20a.org forums where they revealed that skunk2's been falsely advertising their parts AND how their parts have fked a number of peoples engines up etc. u might still be able to find it.
skunk2 also put a bounty for the personal information of the forum members who revealed this - this was on the k20a.org forum and on skunk2's site.

not sure about you but i wouldnt support a company like that regardless of the gains i can get!

anyone know what are the SR recaros in the ep3 04 models? looking for lowered rails but just dont know what version they are
