Had mine up for sale as i wasn't driving it and decided to drive it in the last couple of days and have now pulled it off the market, don't know what i was thinking ha ha and this is back in stock form compared to what it was.

ha ha thats gold mate - good to hear. Guess we better give u a big welcome, of course with you being new and all ;)

Wise move typercivic. i guess with the weak AUD, this is just the most logical decision.

i hope your knees are ok to enjoy the EP fully.

Hi Guys!

I'm new to this forum & I just recently bought my first car, an EP3 & I must say i'm loving it.
I know nothing about cars except to drive them, so hopefully you guys can assist me in the future along the way.
I look forward to participating in this thread & I'll post pics of my car soon.

damn must be annoying as hell selling off your goods then deciding to keep your car! haha oh well. say someone came to you with an offer though...would u still take it?

Shaun, yeh if someone came to me and offered a decent amount and was a reasonable offer would def take it as going in for surgery soon so it will just be sitting here for 2 months, just paid rego today and having it serviced on thursday as well before i go under the knife.

Is a bit frustrating selling parts then keeping it but at least the parts are staying together and are going to be on a good car with a good owner that I know so not so bad.

Hey guys.

Im looking at getting an EP3.

I currently own a DC5R, could anyone let me know what mods i can transfer? Below is a list of what i have.


Headers
Intake (gruppe M)
Exhaust
Engine Torque Damper
Coilovers
Rear sway bar and reinforcment kit
Front Strut brace
Upgraded front calipers and rotors
HID's

Also, if anyone knows of one for sale in Vic, in CW, please let me know.

Cheers

should fit:
headers
coilovers (needs dc5r front tie rod ends and shaving).

wont fit:
gruppem different part no.
exhaust too long
engine torque damper different part no.
i think rear sway is same size as jdm dc5r (or is that the front)
front strut brace different part no.
xenon hid stock

Headers - Yes.....but it depends on what you have!
Intake (gruppe M) - No
Exhaust - No
Engine Torque Damper - No
Coilovers - Yes with mods
Rear sway bar and reinforcment kit - Yes.....also depends on what you have
Front Strut brace - No
Upgraded front calipers and rotors - Yes
HID's - No......should already have it...unless they change it for compliance!

for HID, if your car is a comfort package, then u should have it regardless of pre or post facelift. i think bulb is different for FL so it depends on what EP3 u buy.

for engine torque damper, you might be able to get some brackets made up.

As an immobiliser is needed for an EP3 before it can be insured - Just throwing a general question out there about alarms with shock and / or motion sensors.

Has anyone had a case where their alarm has been set off by something other than a thief? Eg. Passing truck, someone bumping into the car at the shopping center (in car or person form), etc.
