There are a few EP owners in Melb we should do a meet sometime.
Agreed. I've met one or two but never had an EP3 meet before. Always one or two at every meet I go to though. If you can round some up, I'd be happy to come along to a meet lol. No idea where to find them though as not many post on forums.Quote:

How much can I expect a OEM replacement to cost from Honda?
I take it you have a mugen grill. Would you be able to tell me where you purchased it from?Quote:

Private sale off a member of these forums. Unfortunately, it's not genuine and fitment is not quite 100%. IMO, best to pay the extra $200 or so extra and get the genuine one. Try JDM Concept.Quote:

I have heard some good things, considering grabbing a set. only 950 posted!
Spend 990 then another 500-1000 on tyres, then realize that you could have bought some quality JDM rims for same price. Just my 2c
Fair enough. What quality JDM wheels can you get with decent tyres for that price?
Been looking around wouldnt mind a set of regamasters but cant find any.
man knows his stuff! if you want a cheap set of jdm rims goto perfectrun.jp get a set of works for cheaper than distributors here. when i bought my work 11r's 17x8 +35 from jdmconcept got charged 1880 before postage, checked on that site was only 1220
I think Nepolian might have meant second hand quality rims. Plenty of good quality rims for sale on these forums. There's a set of Regamaster Evos for sale on these forums too. Only just saw them posted last week. Have a search around, for ~$1500 you can get some pretty decent rims.Quote:

Whats the largest size before guard rolling?
ive fitted the 17x8+35 without rolling my guards, just had to slightly tap the rear guards up abit but doesnt count as rolling ;) i reckon you could get away with 8.5 ?
hey people in need of coil-over selection assistance, please visit the thread and give your 2c
thanks

was planning to get monoflex but its so pricey.
Hey guys what do you think of this?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Buddyclub...item563fb0d904
got the bc shifter on my car when i got it, imo its nice and alot more smooth then stock but dont think its needed i guess its just a personal preference thing
stock is pretty smooth anyways well for me it is.
Hey guys just brought a set of carbon skirts from Seibon, they're supposed to have great quality carbon parts. :)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SEIBON-02...item5190359ff8
Ignore the ridicuous postage price
how much was postage? i want the front lip
Same i want to know the postage price, I want the mugen rep wing I cant afford the real deal right now.
Postage was around $200. I brought it off ebay but not from that seller.
The front lip is pretty good. For anyone that wants a mugen wing
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EP3-Mugen...#ht_2571wt_905
Already in Aust
oh wouldnt look too bad, someone get one and when you sell it pass it over here ;)
i want the front lip but dont know how it'll look, risky biz.
I want to get a carbon fiber one too. However, I have bought the Fiber Glass one and installed since it is much cheaper costing $2xx off a member here.Quote:

I got my front lip for $300 but it is fiber glass.
There you go :)Quote:

Looks good.
I going to get the lip, skirts and rear pods in carbon.
Should look good
I'm thinking there may possibly be fitment problems with some of those considering the USDM front and rear bars are different to our JDM ones? I know certain brands in America make products to specifically match the USDM shape (eg: VIS Racing).Quote:

Well thats why I brought the skirts as I knew they where identical. As for the front I am assuming someone will definitely do the JDM model.
I am almost 100% seibon does them
VIS parts are on alot of UKDM cars, they would be the same as the JDM ones I assume?

Most US tend to switch a jdm bars anyways for lips.

- now adjust the cable
Ok guys can anyone confirm if the Preface and FL bonnet from the EU's are the same as ours?
Hi guys,
What exhaust size should i be running? ive been told either 3" or 2.5". Isnt 3" too big for an n/a 2L car?
Just wanted your inputs before i go ahead and buy one.
Thanks
2.25-2.5 is reasonable, 3 is unreasonable.
sydney ep3 thread closed?
damn sorry to hear dude,
ANy chasis damage?
May be looking at a new front. Possible shock and spring replacement too. front bar definitely needs replacing. I still think you should be able to get it roadworthy again as long as you get it all signed off by am engineer
Your panel beater generally is the one who you would negotiate that with. If you know a panel beater I'm sure he could get the FL front for you...If not my panel beater could do it. :))Quote:

Ultimate Jap in Smithfield has a an ep3...call them up and see what's left on the car. Otherwise talk to slowly a member on here...he has a red ep3 which still has some body parts on it if I am not mistaken.
I've got a headlight if you need one.
were you at unsw today man??
i got rear ended today. seems like a bad day for us EP3 owners
i nearly got hit in my right fender by a ute on hume hwy today and the bogan said it wasnt his fault for merging into my lane like a wanker.
Just installed some Shifter base bushings and Shifter cable bushings

Gear shifts are even better now! Definitely a worthy mod.
This guy in a SSS was tailing me and then i had to break he had no time...NEARLY ran straight up my rear...BUT defensive driving kicked in and I swerved around the car infront across double lines and went the wrong way through a roundabout..LOL....The guy nearly hit the car infront of me.....Full fail driving ...from kebab spec SSS.
Bit of a random question. But has anyone here ever fitted the stock EP3 wheels onto a 180sx/s13/s14/s15 or even a r32/r33 before??? If so did they clear the front calipers?
i highly doubt it will clear r32/33
Me? My car was safely garaged today...thankfully as I always attract cockhead drivers.Quote:

Umm... Tighten the tie rod bolts? Also check the to nut on the strut too. 17mm if I remember.
whoever needs prefacelift headlights pm meeee. btw do i have to split the wires for in order to install my fl ones?
sorry champ, didnt know posting those questions was forbidden here.Quote:

Did anyone buy the shadow locknuts from shift? I LOST MY LOCKNUT KEY! :((( It's a spline type key. I think it's 8 spline....shadow discontinued the item and shift doesn't have anymore keys. I really don't want to bash a socket onto it and take it off.
does anyone know if the master clutch cylinder on our ep3 is the same as the dc5r?
if not what is the part number?
yeh its the same. i got a dc5r clutch master cylinder in my ep3. need to order a new one from honda au soon. eu3 civic shares same too.
thanks
no worries mate
does anybody know where else we could get genuine clutch master cylinders besides going Honda dealer?
try ebay , oemacuraparts.com etc. A quick search of google should net a part number - then search this and find it.Quote:

Hey guys for next weekend im organising a meet/cruise
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...40#post3068740
Anyone know the Honda part # for the alternator belt of our ep3's.
Just discovered a crack on my ep3. Will need it sort it out asap before it snaps on me.
Not 100% sure if it is the same part number: 31110-PRA-013
Got it from this site: http://japancars.ru/cat/honda/index....nplblk=E__0601
Majority of the part numbers I've searched from there are the same for the JDM model.
Yeah i used that website too. I think 31110-PRA-013 is the belt without a/c so it will be alot shorter. Its roughly 1200 and we need a 1600 ish.
Found a UK site that does international shipping.
Good coverage of OEM parts for our EP3's. Take a look.
http://www.hondaoriginalparts.com/ho...hp?mod_01=9814
For those interested in facelift headlights. You can consider here but I believe they're not HIDs.
Hey guys if you want the aftermarket code for the alternator belt its 7PK1637 or 7PK1638. I found those two codes are the easiest to find on the part system that supercheap had. A variance of 10 in the 16** code is not too bad if you can't get the 1637 or 1638. This is just the length of it. It cost me roughly 40 bucks for a bosch one (with discount). For OEM, the codes are 38920-PRA-004 (thats for 1637) and 38920-PRA-013(for 1638).
Hey Guys,
Will the tyre size 215/45/17 fit on the stock 17" Honda wheels for a EP3?
Thanks.
yes it will fit
Cheers Johno. =)
Just out of curiosity, what tyres are you fitting?Quote:
