seat up, jazz's boot is deeper while length and width are similar. also Jazz's hatch goes lower and easier to load.
anyone here tried fitting a baby seat in the back? just curious...coz i've never been able the find the anchors to hook up the baby seat.
picture slideshow would be VERY appreciated! =)
i have fitted a booster but not a child seat. if you take out the boot mat and the board, you should see a clip at the bottom. you can put the hook there.
extract of the JDM owner's manual, refer to the 2nd and 3rd pic.

About to install one in my EP
Just started my clutch job on the ep3
All good..... Except front swaybar endlinks seized so I'm cutting them clean off.
Dc5 shares the same endlinks right ?
Yes the dc5 and ep3 share the same endlinksQuote:

Flubber knocked up that asian girl hard, hes expecting triplets and will need 3 baby seats on the back of the ep3 lol
Lol grant can't believe you hooked up with her only to knock her up ;).
thanx tony!
lawl...you guys are bastards...hahahaha
I just bought this exact model! I installed it myself after jb hifi telling me it was $280 to get it done. Works great, gps is instant on, but the issue I have is the faceplate around the HU doesn't fit due to the curve of the dash piece, I'll take a pic later and show you, and if you want I can pm you the way to get an oem logo on the startup screen instead of the kenwood o eQuote:

just exedy organic - already have a lightweight flywheel OEM so just machined that and chucked her back in. Yet to bother hooking it all up "looks at car thru garage with curses"Quote:

hi guys, quick question, not completly ep3 related, but im doing an install of a headunit on my ep3 and it has a gps reciever, it needs to sit on the dash, right underthe windscreen, i worked out there is enough space between the door and the car when closed to have it feed up, but because the dash is a little slippery, it doesnt stick with electrical tape, has anyone done something simmilar? any ideas? i was thinking dabs of hot glue gun...
double sided tape?
3M double sided tape?
3m double side tape+alcohol wipe(kfc) + pressure(1mins of it)
Another suggestion is that you can attach it under the dash just above the head unit bracket inside using cable tie and double sided tape. This way it would be hidden away from the top of your dash and your dash would look clear and clean... :)Quote:

The GPS receiver is usually quite powerful so you won't have any problems with signal strength if you do choose to tuck it away.
could you put it on that little platform thing under the coinholder/ashtray if the unit is small? would it still pick up signals?
was thinking of getting the gps unit for my alpine or just go and get a portable garmin,slim gps
Racetap works a treat too. Those things stick really well
Hey Steve does your exhaust give you a headache? or any droning noises when you drive?
sent from my iphone.
what headers you lot running ?
After a bit of chit chat and mish mash - the big thing holding back our car is the header + cat/catback apparently , and just the addition of a decent header and cat back helps considerably. Plus I will supercharge the ding in a few months so why not.
kiddracing gets OK reviews. Cheap too. Any comparisons to say the might TODA or similar headers ?
Nope the toda cat back is perfect for me for daily driving also its not that loud to attract attention when driving normally. Its loud when vtec though I find

Toda powahhhhh ! I'm using toda header. Did gain mid range from them I felt. Haven't really tried any other header thoughQuote:

That's crazy man reading the thread up to date, reading through 300 pages was hard enough
Oh did u import one? Why didnt u just buy one here? Thought all that shipping trouble wouldnt be worth it especially when theres exactly the same car in aus for sale. If u were importing u should have imported a FD2R :DQuote:

would be the same price as people selling in sydney wouldnt it or be slightly higher cause we got more floating around the market.Quote:

Question is do you like your car the way it is? I say come to an EP3 meet up and experience this for yourself if not sure!
