EP3 Type R

Anyone know what's wrong with my car? When I accelerate it sometimes jerks as if I drop the clutch quickly but I'm not even holding the clutch down.
I just started happening and nothing's change other than the fact that I filled Caltex's 98 instead of my usual v-power?

Could be a case of worn motor mounts. Check your drivers side, trans and rear mounts for any cracks or damage on the mounts. If they are damaged, its a good excuse to upgrade to hasports if you haven't already :thumbup:

Nah I'm pretty sure It isn't the engine mounts, I just had hardrace mounts put in about a month ago.

I think so, last time I spoke to him he said he only comes and helps out on Fridays.

planning on inspecting a few ep3s in the near future (need to find a good one in sydney that catches my eye first) :) any tips on what i should look out for in them? eg. dc5r engine mounts arent that great (from what i have read).

The infamous steering rack creak (easily fixed with some grease tho, plenty of diys on it). 2nd gear grind/notchy gears/3rd gear pop out or reverse hard to get into (fixed mine by changing to Honda mtf). Drivers side motor mounts splitting (this is weak point that happens often on OEM mounts, best upgrade to aftermarket as it'll just keep happening). Worn clutch bearings. Clutch squeaks which can be fixed with some grease sometimes.

I have a question about brake rotors, does the hub center bore matter? I see that most advertise that it'll fit 02-05 ep3 but I thought the PFL and FL ep3 have differnt centerbores.

Turns out I need a fuel pump, mechanic told me to change the whole assembly, any ideas where I can get an aftermarket one? an upgrade would be better than just going back to OEM

yeah idk on 64,xxx kms probably just unlucky mine gave up so early.

EDIT: Also I'm looking for the whole assembly, is that possible or do I just have to get it off another EP3?
