Hey guys how will you know clutch is getting worn out? Think too many clutch starts killed my thrust bearing that's for sure so had the clutch starter disabled.
Your clutch is worn when there is slipping. If your thrust bearing or clutch release bearing is dead, it will make rattling noises when your depress the clutch pedal.Quote:

I encountered my first episode of that dredded vibration noise when driving in heavy rain last night... I'm glad I read about it briefly a few mths before I purchased the car... Or else I be scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck it was!!!
I did a bit of light reading last night, couldn't really find any posts with a solution to the problem other than bending the heat shield on the exhaust or adding extrators.
does ur car sound like a tractor, v8, a big deep drone noise ?? I use to have this problem when i had my stock header butted up to my aftermarket cat back. Read that alot of owners of dc5r and s had the same problem and when they changed their header the problem went away. Later on down the track i finally upgraded my header and i havent once had the problem arise.Quote:

*note to self: don't drive in heavy rain
The squeaks can come from 2 parts. The clutch release bearing and/or the fork pivot. My mechanic told me it ain't a serious problem.Quote:

I had similar squeaks with my Jazz.
I had this noise 2days ago when it was wet. Lasted for 10seconds only though. Maybe my engine mounts are starting to go?Quote:

I ve got this while there was heavy rain too! still could not figure out where the problem is, 2 times already, only happened on heavy rainy day. sounds like the exhaust was dragging on the ground and hitting something.Quote:

The clutch and the brake pedals, it is very difficult to take out the clutch and brake assembly as the bolts are hard to reach so you must take out the rubber pedals and replace it with the dc5r pedals. So in this case you have to take out the rivets on the dc5r pedals which is abit of a pain but yeah its the only way.
The deadrest pedal is a straight bolt on.
and i got my pedals for around 130 from memory, which included the rest pedal.
cheers
Thanks for the infoQuote:

Thanks heaps TanitY!!
Rep pts up!!
Just 2 more questions, is that price for brand new pedals from Honda or second hand wreckers?
and finally, might be a hard one, do you have the part numbers of the items you purchased?
speaking of pedals...
will the mugen pedal set fit our EP3's ?

No worries mate,Quote:

However i have found a place where it sells it relatively cheap brand new. really good site for honda parts from the usa. and with the record high strength of the aussie dollar this is the best option. $226 brand neww
http://www.icbmotorsport.com/jdmindc5tyrp2.html
Or if you dont mind second hand you can find these pedals like i did for around 150.
Sorry mate i dont have the part number for these pedals.
Hope it helps anyways.
cheeers
yeah they would fit on the ep3 but the accelerator pedal would probably be a huge pain to put in.Quote:

well from memory the accel pedal you cant remove the plastic cover on the pedal so if youre going to install the mugen pedal youre probably going to need to screw the mugen pedal ontop of the old plastic pedal, and youll probably have a extra thick accelerator pedal if you know what i mean. lol.Quote:

LOL. As much as I like anime and love EP3 but this is nuts.
Otaku + EP3R =

mugen dc5r pedal set from memory is the same as ep3 and im currently using them. Kit comes with clutch, brake, accelerator. But as tranity said the accelerator is a pain in the ass. U need a flat head screw driver and u need to pry the top part of the plastic cover open so u can slide it off the accelerator pedal
oh no, i feel sorry for that ep3
lawl...that ep3 looks cute. if only a cute little japanese girl drove it...i'd be all over her...xDQuote:

According to wiki these are the specs
2001-2005 JDM Honda Civic Type-R (EP3)
- 1,998 cc (1.998 L; 121.9 cu in), 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) @8000, 200 N·m (150 lb·ft) @7000:
2001-2007 JDM Honda Integra Type-R (DC5)
1,998 cc (1.998 L; 121.9 cu in), 220 PS (160 kW; 220 hp) @8000, 206 N·m (152 lb·ft) @7000:
Wiki also had another table
http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...Capture-10.png
I tried to match up the specs of the DC5R and EP3R engine to find the redline, rev limiter and vtec engagement of the two.
So can someone just confirm whats the redline, rev limiter and vtec engagement of an EP3R.
i'll tell you now rev limiter is around 5-6 when stationary but Steve will give you the exact value cause im not a hoon king. vtec is like 6200rpm +- , redline 7.8+(this one im just guessing cars too far)
a jap spec dc5r >ep3 but ive seen so many videos of the total opposite occuring =) plus it was more expensive than a ep3 on best motoring.
I think the difference is the ECU but the engine is the same.Quote:

anyone know this guy with this EP3R?
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...ode%20matchany
converted to FL front headlights
if you guys have the time, if you could check your boots under the spare tyre and see if theres a puddle of water.
much appreciated!
did a quick search but couldn't find a definitive answer. which plugs suit the ep3r?
can I use a ngk iridium: BKR7EIX
or do I need the ones with a 1.1 gapping: BKR7EIX-11
I was also recommended to get the ZFR6FIX-11
I have a spare set of the BKR7EIX (with standard gapping) its not listed on the box or the ngk site, i'll have to measure it and check. Just seeing if I can use them or should I just buy some new ones with the correct gapping?
oh btw, checked mine last week... no puddleQuote:

Hey JohnO are the photos u took of ur car Japanese EP3 headlights? Whats the difference?Quote:

dam..... just spend 3 hours giving the outside of the car a good clean. Washed twice, waxed, applied a new coat of rainex on the windscreen, polished my headlights aswell as my visors and now the weather report is saying its raining 2moro.
FAIL ! !
I was planning on washing my car tonight but I guess I'll hold off till the weekend.
....HAHAHAHAHAH can one of you guys help me sand the crust off my headlights so i can polish it to look brand spanking new im a noob.Quote:

And then its shinny for a week or 2 untill the sun destroys it again :(Quote:

Scratch X cuts a little deeper than Swirl/PlastX. I use that on my headlights then wax it, they have been pretty good ever since (~1 year)
Oh cools never thought of using scratch x just saved me 15bucks.Quote:

Autobarn is good for ordinary stuff. I'd say about 50% of EP's came with visor. Yes, mine did ;)
Anyone in Sydney with a oem ep3 muffler want to swap with my spoon n1 axle back ( plus cash adjustment) ?
Loud n raw in vtec !
Yo Ben! Can I buy your axle back instead?Quote:

You can buy it if you find me a oem or similar muffler :-)
Btw I spent a few hours stripping all old alarm/ stereo wiring from the previous owner. Took out seats and carpet , also took out all sound deadening because I can. 15kgs less ( firewall matting and under seats) should get me some rep rofl.
