Must be some type of a flaw with the OEM screen. Almost Everyone here has had a screen replaced. RaiC.....don't forget speakers too......"how come I don't have rear speaker" blah blah blah LOL!

Your seats are exactly the same as mine, however i think the driver seat should have 2 flip tabs. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
Both seats should have two flip tabs. Both seats are also interchangeable so u can get even wear out of them. In all they are the same seat. You can even switch the reclining knob around if you wish to.
cheers thanks guys...
I had a quick look on car sales shortly after I posted and found some with pics (hence I deleted my first post), all of them had the knobs on the inside... cool they're interchangeable.
Hey guys sorry about the noobie question!! i'm planning to buy a 04 facelift model.... How can i spot if its a jdm or ukm? Thanks
3 eas to spot ones:
1. Check VIN - JDM starts with EP3-1xxxxxx
2. Center dash design around audio is different
3. Speedo runs to 180kmh for JDM while UK cars show mph.
Dyno results and combinations

Thanks alot phil. I went to look at it the car is really nice But it not that great condition. When ever i wanr close the bonnet i have to push the gruppe M down and the owner said that it have to get sand and its the same for every ep3 with gruppe M. apart from that im alrights with it , still havent make my decision yet...
Exact same happens with my Gruppe M. You're able to close it without holding it down but it scrapes it. Definitely has nothing to do with the condition of the car if that's what you're getting at. :pQuote:

Or the above variations with a different, cheaper, catback - such as the Skunk2 or RM01A.
Thoughts?
^ only way to deal with the scrubbing from the gruppe m is through cushioning it with thick tape or 3m tape on the bonnet and behind on the replacement scuttle where the top of the intake sits. havent had issues after a good tape down.
Love the rm01a, a great exhaust, felt bottom -mid range pick up combined with gruppe m.
fixed & upgraded my bulbs to LED's today... T5 I thinks the size is, for future reference.Quote:

are u talking about the bonnet scrapping the scoop when u close the bonnet ?? Easy, get a file / sand paper, start filling/sanding the edge that is hitting the bonnet, FIXED ! Part of the installation instructions is that u have to file the scoop if need be
Whats the price range for 2004 fl model?
fack that man! tape is the answer. :)Quote:

I think SuperSteve's got one and he said it roared like a tiger! Or was that one of his gay experience stories, there's so many I get confused. Now he's got one thats as fast as a concord cause A380 do go all that good.
Induction is good as the OEM ones are prone to split.
x 2. i'd get it with Gruppe M.Quote:

shh george ! i thought we agreed we wouldnt mention anything ! doh` ! and CORRECT ! i DID (somebody gots it ! ) have the sfs induction hose, fit perfect and it is more tougher then the stock induction hose. HOWEVER using this sfs induction hose u loose the benefit of clamping the radiator hose to it as u could do with the stock oem induction hose but MEH ! i think i gained 25kws low range from it ??Quote:

Hey guys, anyone got some spare oem wheel nuts they want to get rid off? I bought my car with aftermarket ones and want to go to the track, i hear it's not a good combination lol
hey matt, saw your car at JDMST meet on Tuesday but never seen you around your car.Quote:

What's the issue with tracking your car with aftermarket wheel nuts?Quote:

OEM nuts usually have diff design to aftermarket nuts. They are not interchangeable as they won't sit and secured properly otherwise.Quote:

oem are acorn style ( rounded bottom ) - and generally only suit steelies or OEM rims. Some aftermarket rims DO have this rounded seating.....but most are TAPERED ( 45 degree angle) thats where aftermarket lugnuts come in
Has anyone done valve clearance of the ep3?
I'm curious to find out if the specification from JDM K20A would be any different to the UKDM K20A2 or AUDM K20A2.
While doing valve clearance, anyone think it would be a good idea to change valve stem seals while the rock cover is open??
To do the seals u need to remove to cams and valve springs. May aswell get some upgraded springs and cams whilst ur at it!
LOL sounds like an idea but more $$$ and more research needs to be done.Quote:

Still , it's a job that needs to be done every so often and rarely mechanics will do it.
Nah. I'd really like to see a ep3 in a racy rare kind of colour tho. Green or blue or perhaps yellow !?Quote:

Reason I ask is im ordering some parts on teh internetz and need to know !
thanks
yours not jdm ep3? jdm ep3 is Just K20A. european ep3 is k20a2 same motor as RSX type S
I have a jdm ep3 - While the engine number isnt the same alot of the parts are ! Just asking what part numbers and parts are sameQuote:

and the K20A isnt the same as the DC5S from the states... but it depends what parts you were getting, alot of stuff is interchangable between K-series?
lol...what?! when did i agree to DIY paint job for ppl? o.0?Quote:
