hay guys has anyone got a shift boot laying around they want to get ride of pm :)
Hey guys, I'm at a bit of a crossroads, I'm wondering what sort of power we can get out of the EP3's? I know that they arent bad from factory, but I do love civics, and am wondering with pretty reasonable mods, I/H/E, KPRO, a good tune (hipower?) maybe some more mods? what sort of figures I could expect?
If you're gonna use Hipower to do the mods for you, then its best to ask them....Quote:

Many brands out therein all three combos, but will all net you similar gains. Not gonna get into a brand battle here about which is best. You'd expect to spend anywhere between $2000-$4000 varying from used/new etc....
I/H/E KPRO/HALTEC: 130-140kwatw
Properly tuned and there is lots to gain mid range. $2000-$2500 depending on dealer/tuner, used/new etc....
CAMS: 140-150kwatw
Again, many brands to choose here. $1500-$3000 fitted. Some will need supporting mods like H/D tensioner, valve springs, retainers etc add $200-$1500 on top.
After this you'd be expecting to open the wallet for a build. Like a stroker kit, K24, turbo or supercharger. Argument is endless so don't start on whats best.
My best advice is work to a budget and with a builder/tuner or you may be very disappointed.
hehehe mods like them can cost u heaps of #### dollars :DQuote:

Matt rps13 has a ep3 thread which he keeps updating and i recently saw him do a rail swap and it was a good 5cm drop which is pretty lowwwww, its in the introductory forum. The suspension is pretty good i reckon from factory, the dc2r is a rawer car than the 5r/ep, nearly went deaf in my mates dc2r on the hwy and couldnt even hear the radio lol.
B-series VTEC sound > K-series VTEC sound imho. Much more agressive crossover!
no way ! k series is better. U just gotta hear it with the right intake !Quote:

Attempting to adjust headlights - could someone please post a picture of the nut which I'm supposed to turn? Had a search but couldn't find anything. The ones on international forums seemed different?
yes the bay is too tight man, stubby fingers :( ,built for the jap hands!
Yup no room man. I was planning to fit a oil catch tank but realised there is no decent room to mount the thing.

also it's better to use 10w40 or 5w40 for the engine oil?
thanks for any advis
no gud brother, the gb oil from motul is alittle too hardcore my suggestion is castrol syntrans i think it was 75w something, running that in mine and its very smooth and quick. however engine oil ive stuck to motul 10w40 300v felt a big difference when i first had that put in compared to the anglomoil 10-40. my $0.02Quote:

I am using 75w90 motylgear oil and it needs to be warm up a little bit before normal use. You can avoid this with Honda MTF because those motul oils are design for more of a racing use.
5w30 is more suited for sportier cars like ours but you can go for a thicker grade like 10w40 for summer.
i am more prefer motul 10w 40, as i use it in my b18, happy with it, but not sure should i use 5w40 or not, as car will be daily and will no be use on drag or track. 5w40 is what the book recommend
has anyone had to get a new set of keys before?
if so what did you do?
Step 1: Take keys to locksmith (Mr Minute) etc.....Quote:

Step 4: Take key for use.
anybody reckon i could use a DC5 injen intake in our car with a little bit of modification? lol a friend of mine has a spare one lying around and i was wondering if it was even worth trying.
PM lukezen, he just fitted one!Quote:

Hard way to learn about only having 1 key huh?

+1 on lukezen being a cool guy. just saying.
no heterosexuality intended at all.
has anyone had to bust open into their drivers side door?
i noticed there are 3 screws on the end is that all thats needed to open the door and access the lock?
There's likes 2-3 screws when you take the silver cover off, pull the under handle off and there's 3-4 screws. Once you've gotten that out unclip the bottom first working your way up the sides. Unplug the window switch, push the plastic lock out so you can take the metal cable up.
cheers Johno I'll try thatQuote:

Abit too big I believe! Will need to work on bigger guards or 5 degree neg.Quote:

Damo did you manage to get the door off?
Hey guys, I love s2krazy's wheels he's selling, 17" Gold Advan RG's
Here are the specs
17 x 7.5 +48
17 x 8.5 +50
5x114.3
Now I'm pretty sure the offset won't work? Am I right? I love the design and colour, Ann ep3 friendly alternatives?
I know the stud pattern is fine but
17x8 +37 (unknown tyre size)Quote:

well our offset is 45 stock, i'd personally go for an offest 30<x<40 for abit of lip :) , too low you might have clearance issues?
7.8 + 48 is fine but offset is slightly weak for the backQuote:

Spotted my old EP3 today in botany. Has purple rims. I want another one lol
I'm not brilliant with working out offsets, but does this mean, they will be to wide? or tuck into the car too much, as I want something that comes out a little more.Quote:

stock wheels are 7" wide +45, so being 7.5 or 8.5 means the extra width needs to go either inside, outside or a combination of both. this depends on the offset.Quote:

7.5 + 48 means 9mm less inside and 3mm more outside which isn't a huge improvement over stock.
+1 lolQuote:
