I'm not sure to be honest. I bought this from a guy on jdmst.
My original center console had scratches and bumps. Most likely the previous owner had parked in the sun for prolonged times.
So I bought it to replace it but didn't realise the cutout until I installed the headunit. I much prefer the original one. Owell, still looks flush and all.
It came from a model that had no A/C and climatic. I had to reuse my own original controls which fitted perfect without any problems.

yeah white is getting dull. the usdm si in blue is nice
I reckon white is only getting dull for us because we are the only ones that recognize other type rs on the road. Most of my mates who dont know much about cars love the white body with white rims because it is pretty much unique. However everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Spot on man only the owners know it. To everyone else it's something they don't frequently see or don't notice it which is a good thing no attention from the Po Po.
How do you remove the number plate light bubble things....I've read that you are supposed to push it to the left or something and twist, it wont move... :(
To mr. Unnamed: there's a pfl and fl mugen grill.
And I second steve, search the forum! Many pages...but lots of info.
I still like the cw! Great for summer and attracts the looks by ppl who've Neva seen the type r.
Doesn't attract the popo until they hear/see you rev to 8000rpms lol.
Yeah u would know wouldn't ya fubar :p

Maybe I should just drive an evo and let the ecu do all the driving :D
ep3 is quiet fun to drive imo. Find ur line, brake, then turn in, and when u accelerate u can feel ur lsd pull ur car around the corners. Only thing that sucks is when ur going to fast and u get to much understeer >_<Quote:

gotta go pick up my trophy of shame on monday..
stock recaro doesn't hold me at all. need to use legs for support. so bought some harness and hopefully it will be better.
Don't worry too much about how the Recaro's holding us in, its not like we're going that fast around the track!
Best way to learn around a track is to do two or three track days within a short time so you learn quicker. You forget if you leave it for too long!
Yeah I pull the legs out it helps a lil but still I'm all over the shop. I full lean into the turns haha
But as nepolian said u just need a few more track days to get more practice.

Hey i have been told by others that if have a mugen twin loop u should stay with all mugen stuff (mugen header and intake) to make the most power
The mugen twin loop came with the car, but i don't really want to fork out a leg for mugen header or intake.
I am thinking either getting a Gruppe M or Injen intake. Or maybe AEM V2 or Fujita.
Also what gear are you guys in when your going 60km/hr? I am usually in 5th and sit around 2k rpm is this normal?
Talk with nepolian he can answer all ur questions :)Quote:

Gruppe m is just around the price of a mugen box or just slightly cheaper. Imo mugen airbox just looks like stock one maybe it's lighter and uses a mugen filter and that's about it also you'd want a mugen grille to make better use of the intake.
I've been told by a few ppl.
Anyone know where the engine number is.... i cant find it :(
What gear are you in JohnO at 60km/hr?
Engine number is like below throttle body. 60 well it kinda varies 4/5th usually keep my revs below 3 for normal driving.
I'm curious who told you that tooo... I've used different aftermarket parts on my old cars and it works fine.Quote:

I wouldnt say it was absolutley necessary though.
So i cant really see the engine number without removing the throttle body?Quote:

is it closer to the left or right (intake side) of the throttle body?
Anyone bought Injen or Fujita intake from US?
Our dollar is strong so i thought it would be a good idea to buy in the US to save a couple of hundreds :)
Should i go Injen or Fujita?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fujit...Q5fAccessories
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INJEN...Q5fAccessories
After googling a bit, ppl said the filter in the Injen is better than Fujita. What do u guys think?
its on the right of the bottom block just really hard to see with such a tight area. looks the same to me =) its all in preference of the brand!
@peppex: driving constantly at 60km/h...
5th gear: 2450rpms
6th gear: 1950rpms
I regularly drive in sixth gear at about 60km/h coz I can and to piss off pol who can't. But once it drops, I'm out of sixth gear in a jiffy coz no power.
Wow thats even higher than me. Pretty sure i am at around 2200 in 5th around 60km/hrQuote:

Overdrive button or a 7th gear just to make it special! xDQuote:

btw...anyone know what kinda light bulb and how to change the light in the ceiling above the gear stick, the lights which u have to push in to turn on?
my driver's side has blown, while my passenger side still works. not sure if i wanna change it just yet as i can always use the passenger side light.
But its not what SuperSteve uses !Quote:

Abit high on revs with 6th gear but it's still at a very sane level unless you got yourself cannon exhaust.
If I'm not wrong the revs on dc2r on 5th on the highway is higher and louder due to less sound insulation.
could also be because they have a B18 engine rather than K20A. (thanx victor! =D)Quote:

The centre ceiling light, driver's an passengers. All other things are fine. Anyone know how to fix this? If it's the fuse box, which one is it and what to do?

luckily some nice person saw the incident and left a note on my windscreen with the rego and description...
currently being investigated with the police...
hey guys,can anyone clarify whether ep3 recaros and rails will fit straight to dc5r?
Ie. The seat will still tilt normally and not hitting the roof lining etc. Thx guys

running 215/45/17 proxes t1r, pretty good but the speed is off from the odo. when i pass those rta trailer things that moniter speed i kept it at 50 but told me 48, tried a few times and kept getting -2km less.
220s for 8inch? or maybe 225 Perry
speedo is always slower on most cars. by going 215/45/17 you are actually bring your speedo closer to the actual speed.
Yep, according to a few gps's and the iPhone etc...Mine is spot on!Quote:

let me know what you end doing with this peppex, i want to do the same but cant find a solutionQuote:

sadly they police can't charge the driver for leaving the scene of the accident, as I didn't have a witness name or a specific time (there was a shift change within the hours I specified). oh well, at least now the ep gets fixed!
wow just went through the whole dr honda engine build thread *DrooLS*
i came. steve hes got the same tubing for the gruppe m as you! how many hp gain if i give up the crappy plastic one for the metal??
