When I enquired about Nrma, they quoted me an extremely high amount compared to just car.

No one can spend all day at the track in their EP3.
For 99% of driving - a roof rack is quite practical. And they right
One looks decent. Just don't do it for image !

OP can I suggest it may be difficult finding due to the car being a coupe. You might find something that suits a Local non ep3 civic ?

EDIT read this thread - might help you out

Agreed.

The EP3 appealed to me cause it was FUN, fast, non-turbo (less problems) and practical. I wouldn't mind installing a roof rack one day to carry bikes to fun riding places.

hey guys.

Have 225/45/17's waiting to be put on, wouldn't mind getting some new wheels as well. Just thought Id grab opinions on width and offset. may or may not be getting spoon/brembo calipers so I may take that into consideration when chosing offest.
Was thinking 17x9 +40/17x8.5 +38 etc not too sure on the offset as I havent looked into what the rpf1 offers. Would be great if anyone could give us their opinion.. or better yet.. what your running at the mo.
Cheers:)

$1000 for an intake or whatever they're going for now. It's ridonkulous. Go Injen or aem. Just make sure you go cold air. I had an AEM and it was great (Easy enough to install and I guess you notice a slight throttle response change. Oh and that sexy note if you dont yet have an exhaust:P)

It's basically stock except for Pedders Coilovers and an s2000 Steering wheel.
First mods probably be I/H/E, obviously
Thinking GruppeM after what i've read here, but also don't wanna pay that much for an intake, because i'm a cheapo.
AEM v2 was also high on the list along with the Injen CAI. if anyone has any comments about these that be awesome (or want to sell me one) =] (i know about the search function)
Was also wondering what kind of oils you guys use because i wanna service my car relatively soon
Anyways, thanks for reading this!

Those specs will not fit over Spoon calipers. If you go 9s you'll need at least +30 to clear the calipers.

I see I see. I just cant decide. Could've had these wheels months ago. I get lazy. Thanks though:)

How do you guys clear round the back side windows?

There's that little gap that's close to impossible to get into!

Hopefully this might help some body with o2 sensor problems for the EP3.

As you guys may know sourcing o2 sensors are a pain in the ass for the EP3's in Australia. It's best to source DC5R o2 sensors. The primary from the DC5R bolts up perfectly to the EP3 manifold, but the secondary from the DC5R is way too short for the EP3. To fix this problem just splice up the secondary o2 sensors and wire up the DC5r sensor to the EP3 o2 sensor wires as they are longer and will be able to reach.

Soldering is not possible with the type of wires they use for O2 sensors, as it's some special kind of metal that won't bond properly with soldering ion, so to connect the wire's up use crimp on connectors instead.
