Check the engine mounts, its one of the popular things that needs to be replace often.
Ep3 turning left onto railway pde yesterday with gold wheels polished lip and rm01a exhaust?? Anyone on the forum?
I remember Hong debadging the flag and civic though. They looked like lm's
Saw a fl ep with mugen wing and black rims at fairfield station. Is it anyone here?
Saw a ep3 on horsley drive\cumberland hwy intersection. I was driving across on my horn. Anybody from here ??
bbs lm's are hot
hey guys need to get a new driveshaft seal as the one in the ep is leaking a bit.
Will the dc5 one fit or alternatively any suggestions on where to get one (honda have not been helpful)
hondas never been helpful, they dont even know what a ep3 even is... useless people. Try giving head office honda a call they got my part faster than dealing with peterwarren honda...
peter warren are hopeless.. rick damelian honda were probably the most helpful in terms of a honda dealership, but yeah can't go wrong with head office.
Got my helmet and I'm off to The Creek tonight peoples!!
Agreed. When they hear the word "import", they immediately deny you.
Once I was asking if Blacktown Honda could quote me a price on the o2 sensor. I told them I have an imported Civic TYPE R and told them I need the same o2 primary sensor as the DC5R.
Without even trying to look up the part for DC5R 02 sensor, (In a fobby accent) they told me they can't help me because I don't have a valid VIN no. So I was thinking in my mind, is it that hard to do a manual search for an o2 sensor in a DC5R??? Surely their computer database isn't that hard to search up unless it is poorly designed or the guy on the phone is computer illiterate and only knows how to search parts by typing part# and VIN.
So I told the guy I simply just need a quote for a Dc5R o2 sensor (primary) telling him to ignore that I had an import. Without a hint of effort to try, he denies me. I understand EP3 is not supported in Australia but I would appreciate to see an effort to try.
Went to Rockdale Honda, asked for the same thing but not mentioning I got an Ep3, they at least provided the answers that I needed.
yeah just leave the "imported civic" out of the question, seriously you quote them the vin and still their so clueless...facepalmmmmmm
These guys are so pathetic. The database on the sca networks i have at work even has the "imported" cars on it.
Its actually pretty good for some aftermarket parks like the shock absorbers i got.
hey anyone know a cheap place to get the cracked front windscreen replaced?? got a quote from obriens for $538
yeh im in syd. not bad price, cheers nepolian ill look them up
hey fellas just need some help.
has anyone had to get a set of new keys? i lost mine and never got another set cut.
if you have how did you get t done?
pretty sure our keys arent chipped.. just go to any locksmith keycutting place. cheap.
Spotted SuperSteve today at Berala. ^^
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?
spotted CW EP3 on hoxton pk road with gold wheels? anybody?
Spotted a cw ep3 at supercheap today. Was trying to find the owner but he left while i was doing a fitment for a customer.
I'd say 80% of ep3 owners aren't on here and have no idea what you lot are on about when you flash your lights and toot your horn lol !
The car was so high, it seems like it was raised or something. My manager even joked about it being a 4 wheel drive lol.
Im so friggen pissed off right now. Need to let off steam. Last night was at a house party in cabra. Parked my car on st johns rd about midnight my mate is outside having a cigarette. He sees 2 blokes start to steal my car they smashed the drivers side window and start pushing it up the street. He calls me and we give chase but we lose them. Call the cops they come cant really do much. About 5am they come back to the street this time the car is in the driveway i hear my alarm go off. I go outside and see 2 blokes taking the car outta the driveway. They see me come out an they take off in a waiting car. I am so f**ken peed off right now bloody no good car thieving ****s. Now i gotta go through imsurance my cars gonna be off the road ffs.
Btw when they first smashed my window my alarm didnt go off as well. They seemed like pros as well the smash was clean lucky my car immoboliser saved me
Hey All, Just registered on here, I have a Black 2001 Ep3, let me know if you guys are going for a cruise, I'll be in for sure
Hey IP_Freely sucks to hear mate. Can't believe the nerve some people have! Not only do they fail once but they come back and try again? FFS lowlife scumbags.
@Blackep3: welcome to the forums. :)
3 guys, Couldn't really tell but they looked middle eastern/aussie by the time they saw me they jumped in the car and took off, 1 bloke was chubby build other was skinny, didn't see the driver, they came in a Holden Commodore
@ Johno - the car was parked at my mates house
one good thing to take away is that it wasnt at your house i.e. its a lot harder for them to find it if they wanted to go for another attempt.
i wouldnt be driving to your mates for a while
did you get the rego number of the holden?
ouchies....did they take anything outta the car? and how's the insurance company so far? they still "investigating" or they happy to cover it?
how do u go bout finding a window 4 it here any other car the same size
if they cover it wouldnt they write it off?
on another note my o2 sensor shat itself...just lost afew days pay to get it replaced :(
I don't know how to multiple quote lol
Anyway wasn't able to get a rego they didn't want anything inside the car they just wanted the car. I swear if i ever see em again i'm gonna tear em apart.
I made a claim through Justcars they told me my excess is $600 so I have to pay that, but I did a check on O'Brien apparently they told me they got the window in stock and it will cost me $438 to change so i'm going to cancel the claim. Hopefully its the right window.
I can also get a window from Japan through my friend but its going to cost me about $550 and I have to wait 10 days.
hmmm you quote one thing then copy paste lol!
i would trust obriens with windscreens but side windows might be a bit iffy, unless its the same as the dc5?
Sup pimps checking in from JDM land.
Sydney peeps. How about a EP WSID night, dyno day, go kart or SOTS at wakie?? First week of March??
i stayed at ikekbukuro, well behind the kfc was bars,more traditional restuarants, pa*****o game things and guys in suits trying to advertise their play house. good and cheap food yeah Perry?
in for a dyno day or go kart and then kbbq?? :D
i'm up for gokart and dyno day with kbbq afterwards.
How long are you going for? Usual Tokyo-Osaka?
Fixed Lukies problem. Case of the broken driverside engine mount!
I too fel the same....until we walked from shinjuku to shibuyq ( or around there) - there is lines and lines of custom mens apparel shops.a fave was a hand made leather shoes and belts/ bags shop in some tiny high-rise shopping block. Very stylish. You just gotta keep walking and looking
I didnt get to spend enough time in shibuya except just taking pictures of the intersection and checking out the chicks at starbucks.
So with the ep3 event thing, George whats the verdict?
only thing i dont like about japan is theres no chilli sauce, apart from that everythings great!
Perry, only shopping would be Akihabara-yodashi if you want like gadgets and souveneirs pretty good place for last min shopping! 10 lvls of electronics?
