SS are still liveable. Only when the road is shit such as hume hwy at Bass Hill, it's jumpy as.Quote:

Maybe soon. You?
Wanna go for a drive but don't know where to
I just installed my FUJITA CAI last night :). I think I have fallen in love again :).
But I think I cut the hole in the fender a little bit too big.... Water can splash onto the filter.... Can you guys post some photos of what your CAI look like.
Also do you guys know any EP3 wrecked so maybe I can get another front left fender plastic wheel arch thing?
how bigs the hole?Quote:

Wakefield first time in the ep tomorrow wish me
Luck la ! Hope i thrash my 1.13xx pb on road tyres - somehow
Think i will destroy only nangkangs !
killing nangkangs is the noble thing to do a anyway Benny boy :)Quote:

Its probably around half the size of A4 page (A5 size). But I wouldn't have been able to fit the pod without cutting that big because the back section (bottom of the filter, plastic part) is sticking into the wheel arch by like 1cm.Quote:

Haha. Well after I drove home last night I had a look at the plastic and it was wet, but it might be just what your saying water dripping away.Quote:

get some new shoes! that was my plan till I got mounts to fix and bushings to replace and some dre beats earphones. =(
btw guys 165 for a set of lca bushings is reasonably priced right?
Nah don't think i will get an ECU anytime soon. I don't even have headers yet.
I was thinking about getting rims but.... i want 17x8 so i need a camber kit. How much are camber kits for EP3? Should I just go for coilovers with camber adjustment?
Re Fujita, just use duct tape to tape over the holes. I used this for the 3 years I had the car and it was still nice and tight when I took them off to take out the CAI. Get the heavy duty ones at bunnings.
I'm looking at 18x8 :)Quote:

If anyones after a Haltech

Has anyone got any hub dyno figures for our cars with I/H/E?
Anyone know where to source out a FGK Legalis R catback or mugen front lip for EP3 besides from nengun or jdmconcept?
YesQuote:

if he was to purchase an injen cai would there be a crossover notice.
Na if very noticeable with and without the injen dudeQuote:

geez, so there is a crossover? standard. i ripped first and second. no different note.
ps when we checked his oil level it was low or close to nothing. top it up. should it be alright now?
YeahQuote:

hopefully, he just brought it and i told him crossover should be decent, my pervious dc5r stock with just injen screamed.
if we cant notice it. what other problems will we be facing?
will test tomorrow and let you know. thanks fellas.
Do any of you guys know if dedy at top one puts in full synthetic oil when servicing? I think he put in some valvoline 15w30.
Checked my oil today and it was down to half way so i thought i should probably top it up.
What oil should i use to top it up?
Interesting Lukezen, coz my car made 144.9KW on a hub dyno with I/H/E, and was faster than a kpro tuned dc5 (jdm engine) with basically the same I/H/E parts.
I'm wondering if my car has some mild cams done by the previous owner in Japan.
maybe the solenoid? when i had my ep3 it was a pretty noticeable difference well maybe because it was my first car, intake just gave it a better note. was the car warm when you gave it?Quote:

jibz- so there is no sound difference.
is there a crossover sound on a jdm k20a?. abit confused now.
Hmm.. I got 152.3kw on a hubcentric dyno with just GruppeM and a tune (if you can call it that) on a VAFC2.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b3...4/IMG_0001.jpg
Got stock air box here. No obvious crossover sound as well.Quote:

How many kilometres has it done and how often do you vtec it? It also seems like your burning quite a lot of oil, so for maybe next service go for a slightly higher grade. I normally use full syn 5w30 and my car barely burns any oil. Check what type of oil it is before you top it up, like if its full, semi or mineral base oil.Quote:

Ok, so maybe I don't have cams :P, perhaps a REALLY healthy engine? will see when the Kpro goes in. Just felt there must be something different because when dragging other EP3's/DC5's I'm usually quite a lot faster with similar or (supposedly) less mods.
All EP3's are JDM K20A here. Honda did a good job on engineering the airbox's resonance chambers to silence the intake sound. you can try a Hondata airbox mod to see if that makes it a bit louder (involves cutting the main partition of the airbox to make one large chamber instead of two). Otherwise, going with a Injen will be guaranteed loud cross over.

Hey PeppeX did you find the answer to this? I'm also wondering...Quote:

Haha, thats why I asked for hub dyno's in my post, just thought since you replied, thats what your reading was!

How many kms on your ep3?
I doubt spoon/mugen is that much better. Most of the $$$ spent is towards the branding imo.

How's fuel economy going for you luke?
can anyone tell me the part number for ep3 oem window visors?
Cheer
JDM yard has OEM for cheaper that HondaQuote:

hey ben how'd you go on the track?
I'd doubt mugen spoon would use anything other than remodelled exedy parts. Then whack a hefty price tag on it. Most of us choose exedy sport cause it does the job at a decent price.
Slow ! But fun :) Average timess on terrible nankangs. But they arent dead yet - coming to another trackday soon :)Quote:

Also had a dyno day bout 18mths ago at my dyno for the hondatech forum. not a single honda car passed the 180hp mark on the same dyno. Of course you can say environmental factors do come in.
Also please note: my Dynpack is newest one here in Western Australia.
Have fun debating!
3000km. But heard VTEC does eat alot of oil. Maybe i should take my own oil next time or do you think valvoline at dedy is good enough? Maybe buy some off dedy to top off the oil inbetween services?Quote:

What oil do you guys use in your EP3? Brand and viscosity?
First service = mobil 1 5w30. Second service = penrite enviro 5w30. Always full synthetic. Hondas new feo is also 5w30 full syn, so maybe some of you guys can try that.
castrol edge 5w30, two services done with it so far on the ep :thumbsup:
and seems like my oil burning has reduced a lot since my fresh spark plugs were put in the last oil change... 16 days since the oil/plug change and no drop in my oil level... prior to that I was topping up approx 200ml every few weeks.
