I got an immobiliser installed today but the guy who did it didn't link up the central locking to it. I tried to explain to him that i want to only have 1 remote not an immobiliser and honda one for central locking.
Do any of u guys know if its hard to hook up the central locking to an immobiliser? Also maybe hook up the indicators so it will blink when i lock and unlock the car (i know this immobiliser has this function).
That kinda shit can only be handed down from one legend to another and cannot be bought! So has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?Quote:

I'm planning to buy RE11 (205/45/17) from the states.
I was quoted $957.61 delivered via FED Economy (3-5 days) which converts to approximately $1050- $1100 with today's AUD-USD currency.
Just curious to know what you guys think of the price?

You don't have to go to Campsie. They have a few branches for their company called Jobsons Discount Tyres. They're an authorised dealer for Bridgestone.Quote:

Hey guys, reckon if i wet the seats down to clean it, will it wreak the sensor under the driver seat? And does anyone know how to remove the seats from the car?
theres no sensor under the driver seat if im correct. the seatbelt sensor is in the seatbelt buckle thing where you click it in.
hope this helps
Hey guys,

Also is there anyway to remove the beeping noise when u leave the key in the ignition and open the door? I dont understand why honda put it in... so fustrating...
That's to warn u b4 u close ur door with ur keys in the ignition. If u need to open ur door, turn key to accessories and u won't hear the beeping noiseQuote:

I've serviced twice and it appears to be the case for the 5L Motul bottle and 5L Royal Purple.
So I ended up needing to buy a 2nd bottle to top up from half to full. And I don't think I got a oil cooler.
Its part of the immobilizer laaaa..Quote:

After a whole day of wakefield i got just 2/3 a tank left.
As ben said, either you do very short distance drives or you let the car idle all day lol?
i do very very short distance drives barely 10kms a day and that gets me max 310kms out of a tank as soon as light appears. been driving more to the city to kensington and gotten around 370 with mix of peak/offpeak traffic
Ok i dont know how u guys are getting 400+ km!!!!!! I am nearly on mid tank and i am only on 170km..... People say the second half on the tank drops alot faster. So i think i might only just get above 300km. :(
Also after going into a carpark my petrol drops alot! I swear when i went into car park my tank was like 3/4 full and now its nearly half full......
People who get over 400+ km do u drive long trips alot?
lol abit of vtec here n there. and yeh i rarely do any highway driving everywhere i go is short distance stop n go conditions :(
hahaha the only time i let my car idle is when im going to use it so it gets warmed up before driving.
i usually average 350km/tank, looks like this tank will be less than that lmao
should get more kms when youve got less than half a tank, less weight. Steve knows ;)Quote:

a log of the km's/tank of my ep, since I got it:
44lt/495km
48.3/531km
44.4lt/500km
43.97lt/523km
39.2lt/457km
41.7lt/517km
haven't logged the past few weeks coz I'm getting pretty good km's, but the last tank I got to 530km just as the light turned on!
70% freeway driving, moderate vtec use, normally shifting between 4-5k... 45min trip to work each way.
wow 531km with 48.3L. Thought the tank was 50L..... so u had 1.7L left lol!
I guess average city driving EP would be around 300-350 then. My trips are probs around 25-30km.
nah i dont really notice that needle going down in a car park, probably shouldnt.
I usually get around 300km b4 light comes on now. 90% vtec n my car pops alot. My car is running rich....... rich in vtec yo !Quote:

Hey guys, I picked up my EP3 2 days ago.. so far I'm loving it.
However, how do you remove the A/C dials? I want to get more clearance to the DIN cage.
i do 28km trips everyday and i would return 420-450kms on a full tank.
yeah man hear you coming down the roadQuote:

Hmm. I wouldn't really consider it short at all. I was thinking short distance would be 1-3kms.Quote:

You just remove the screws that mounts A/C dials. I remember that's five of them.Quote:

I've removed the 3 screws which hold the dial unit to the fascia. Are there more screws I'm not seeing?Quote:

Filled up today, 23.47L drove 220km. So around 10.6L/100km
Wow... so many mods for so cheap.Quote:

Sounds like your steering rack may need greasing up.
I had this before as well. After greasing, it's gone and hasn't been back since.
hey guys, quick question, does anyone know what size the bolts are for holding the i-vtec plastic cover down are? I bought my ep3 without it on and i dont have the bolts for it
Hey quick question guys, I'm not sure if I'm going crazy.. but my odometer is not keeping my last option in memory.
E.g. I have it switched to Trip A, I switch off the car, switch it back on, and it's defaulted back to the miles reading instead of Trip A.
I'm sure it wasn't doing this before this morning.. =\
Nevermind, it was a blown fuse in the engine bay (10amp one).Quote:
