Which Rotas are you talking about?

And I personally say no to replicas, especially ones made from the phillipines

Sounds abit tight with that offset, might want to keep it at 45 if youre going 8 inch wide.Quote:

hey guys next on my list for mods is headers, which of the 2 do you think would suit with injen intake and fujitsubo rm01a cat back better???
Spoon or Toda?? or no difference
from what i understand if going 8" wide that +42 or +45 would be best offset like Nepolian said.

Why would you keep the wheel the same offset if you have wider wheels?Quote:

I had +43 only with a 17x7.5 wheel and it would rub the inner chasis on full lock or hard cornering.
+35 is a good offset, Im running +28 and I think its too weak.Quote:

So a staggered offset might be a good idea.
Use this website as a guide
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
But also take into considering different rims and height of car affect the outcome.
That is hot. Go for it man... no need to think twice:pQuote:

Thanks Chi for the info, i think i will definitely get the +35 offset all round. I think that would be the best setup.Quote:

^ i have a set of rays se37 at 18 x 7.5 and they're around 7kg each (wheel only).
so i guess most quality forged wheels at similar size will be bang on target.
does anyone know how to remove the headlights for an 02' EP3?
If its like a DC5 you will have to remove your front bar to access the bolts underneath the headlight,
thats right, you have to open the front bumper. i did it once
is it hard to take the front bumper off?
^ i hate the screws underneath. always a pain to do up.
it is not too hard.Quote:

make sure u get a mate to help out when u're poping off the bumper so you don't scratch the paint.
i have a diagram to show where the clips/screws are but it's at work. i'll post it up tomorrow.
btw why do you want to take the bumper off?
ohh yeah alright then kool thanks heaps! i wnt to change the lights not the xenon's...thanks!
^ u sure they can't be done without taking the light/bumper off.
can the DC5 Mugen intake fit on an EP3?
Well according to nengun website they are different part numbers
17200-XK2-K0S0 Honda Civic Type R (EP3)
17200-XK5-K0S0 Honda Integra Type R (DC5)
However I think there might be a chance the DC5 one will fit the EP3, because the airbox bolts onto the stock Airbox mounting brackets and I'm pretty sure the DC5 and EP3 airbox is similar.
But i dont have anything concrete yet.
Will dig up info on the net and see.
lol okay thanks heaps :P
any one know offset of stock ep3 wheels
Its +45Quote:

isn't that the 04' Facelift or is it the same? thanks heaps! it's a massive help...
^ should be the same.
thanks :) i'll try it later on today...
Does anyone have an ETD forsale before I order one?
does anyone know if we can get FD2R's here? if so how much?
is it worth having a ETD if i upgrade to some nice solid innovative engine mounts ??
I had ETD went to innovative mounts.
No need for ETD as the mounts itself is quite stiff.
And I would rather go for stiffer mounts than ETD as I said many times, ETD will cause more strain to the mounts than reduce engine movement.

Well I will be tracking with 75a next Fri and give you an outcome on that.
However I know of a few ppl using 60a and seem fine with it.
But i like it nice and stiff lol

good stuff. let us know later if the vibration will settle down.
did you fit them yourself?
good stuff nepolian :D im going to get some innovative mounts mounts when i can and i cant wait to see how they go :D
im still waiting for my toda cat back exhaust >_< should b hopefully arriving this week i will let you all know how it goes once its installed with dyno results b4 and after hehehe
interesting note...the original post i made all the way back on page 1 from last year bout the EP3R forsale in that car yard, how i said a bit overpriced...drove past yesterday and i swear that EP3R is still sitting there..from October last year!! im bout 85% sure its the same one but i could be wrong
that poor ep3 is still waiting for u shaun hehehe
yeh bad! grrr i still want one but cant justify the cost coz my mitsubishis value has dropped a bit more then i would have liked...that and im scared im gonna miss turbo 4wd performance! lol
hehe if u live in sydney u should come to the ep3 meet up and take another look at ep3's hahaha Let the droolage begin haha
Shaun, you know you want it!
drool over the ep3s while some of us drool over the evo
Some of us did drool over an evo but changed to an ep3 at the end. :)
Still would consider an evo for a family car...hahaha :D

Get Avid mountsQuote:

I will b tracking my car but i use it daily and i dont know if i can handle the vibration, UNLESS, with the stiff mounts in time they settle in and dont vibrate as much thats probably when i go for the stiffer
Yonas informs me that the avids are rated at 62A. Now when I fitted the 75 on the DC5R it was much the MACK truck as well. Realistically, 60-75 pffft! there would'nt be that much difference.Quote:

The mounts will settle after a few weeks.....I dun feel the vibrate anymore......I've been using it for years .......big :thumbsup: for it.....Quote:

Except for when you get the mugen ones, which I have been told that they dont do alot? No first hand experience tho!
Nepolian is right, I spoke to a few ppl who have tried the mugen mounts and they said it's more OEM replacement than an upgrade(stiffer mounts) so it depends on what your after.
I was going to try innovative mounts but am thinking of selling my car now so have put all car part spending on hold.
Anyone in W.A interested in an 05 silver ep3? :)
Why you want to sale it??? I'm gtting my in few weeks
selling already??Quote:
