Haha all good Kevin~ : )
Thanks for the reply. My mate spun the bolt around and what do you know... it pushed the top of the hub in, adding neg camber. Stupid jax.Quote:

This may sound like a strange question, but how many kms do you guys think the rubber on an ep3 clutch pedal would last before it wears out?
I only ask because I had a look at a car on the weekend with very low kays but the clutch pedal rubber was completely worn through. Should I be suspicious?
Hey guys,
I put my 235/45/17 semi's on today and the rear is scrubbing...I used a mallet and heatgun and rolled the rear guards asmuch as I could so they were nearly flat against the inside of the guard however the rear still scrubs. I'm running Aragosta Coilovers dropped around 1.5-2inches all around. I even stiffened up my ridiculously hard coilovers all the way and it still scrubs.
Alignment for rear:
Camber: -2.62 and -2.34 LH/RH respectively
What else could I do to stop it from scrubbing?> I was thinking about rasing the rear 5mm-10mm and see if it stops rubbing. I am going to a trackday on monday and really don't want it to chew through my new semis :(
Also it's mainly the right hand side that's scrubbing the left isn't scrubbing as much...Unforunately I don't have adjustable camber arms either..Not that you would want more than 2.3-.5 of camber anyway.
It's prob scrubbing on the inside (on your coils itself)Quote:

I honestly don't know, I'm assuming these aragosta coilovers for the dc5 are somehow causing it to camber more...Even the guy at jax said it was unusual.Quote:

I'm with TwestQuote:

Because according to the jax machine I am getting 2.3degs LH and 2.78degs RH camber...That definetely sounds off. OR...the coilovers somehow changed the geometry alot.
So no one’s got any better instructions or diagrams on installed the air spoiler under the front bumper?
you might be on to something there TwestQuote:

Benny will know!
BENNNY do ya thing?
dc5 coilovers not oem, I have a strong feeling it is that. Put the car onto my mechanics wheel alignment gear and same results.
luke see if the below link can be of any help~ :DQuote:

Bit hard to describe, but the lip slots into bumper. Just under that there is a raised edge which is held in place by plate(s), that have a 10mm bolt(s) holding them in place.
You could probably get away with cable ties or self tapping screws.
Self tappers would be a lot easier, or cable ties if your lazy!Quote:

car looks hot with the BBS' man
After dinner tonight, I noticed my battery light had turned on, my gf pointed out the speedo wasn't working and also the EPS light came on!!! I did notice the steering being a tad heavier than normal and the car felt a lil sluggish at first before I noticed anything.
So glad I found this thread on the 3rd google link I opened: problem-check-engine-light-battery-light-speedometer.html
Got the torch onto the fuses under the steering column and what do you know, I had blown a 10a fuse. I'm assuming it is the alternator one. The diagram on the fuse panel says to look at the manual. I swapped the fuse and everything is working fine now.
As mentioned in the link, does anyone know if the alternator could be stuffed? Hence, blowing the fuse???
Anyone else had the same issue?
I think i'll be changing my secondary o2 sensor soon, just in case I get another CEL light coming up for something else!
I freak out so much every time the CEL comes on. I'd probably crash the car if the CEL popped up while I was driving haha. Did the manual confirm that it was the alternator fuse?
Also, in regards to the prior topic of conversation. Got the front underspoiler on. As it's a universal one, sort of just used self tapping screws and screwed them into the plate and then trimmed the edges of the lip to try and match the OEM one. Definitely a case of good from afar but far from good. Will post photos tomorrow.
I don't have a copy of the manual. I think it was fuse no 4:Quote:

Anyone have a copy of the manual? or can anyone confirm the fuse numbers above? the ones that refer to the book.
My CEL has been on for a while now and I have kind of forgotten about it. I know how you feel though!
Hey guys,
Any ideas on where I can purchase aluminium shifter cable bushings kit for the EP3? This is the bushings that you replace underneath the hood, below the stock air filter.
Just installed aluminium gear shifter bushings under the gear knob today. There is a marginal difference - more solid, but I feel it can be further improved.
Cheers.
Bought mine from here http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...725111bb5c1c24
But the Shifter base bushings made a bigger difference than the cable bushings.
Thanks Peppex. Are there any differences between cheaper aluminium cable shifter bushings that find on say, eBay for $30 compared to the anodized, branded ones such as Hybrid racing (~$70)?
Not sure, but I think Corsport ones will be fine as they are a big shop in the US. Try to get from a power seller on ebay which also sell other quality parts.
guiz
whats involved with replacing PFL headlights with FL headlights ?!
Standard PFL are shocking. Well , my standard bulbs are shit and just about dead.
Yeah I'm also quite interested as well was thinking either change headlights or get fogs. I think for both the left and right FL headlights cost about $1k. But if you already have the d2r bulbs will they work? Do they come with the ballast?Quote:

Hey Johno. I heard you selling your EP3? Will you be parting out some parts?Quote:

Floor mats contact:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...are-negotiable
Personally, I'd be having a good think about the "friends" you keep around you.
1. They knew exactly what to look for (gruppeM, floor mats)
2. Broke into your car and not the other EP3
3. Knew you were away(?)
Usually the first thing ppl steal from type r's are their recaro seats not the useless things like mats and spoon socks.
Some weird theives.
But i agree with symphored, it might be someone you know who doesn't get along with you well.
druggies, not planing on stealing anything, but just opportunistic.Quote:

The floor mats have sold but thanks anyway!Quote:

I agree with you too but I have no idea who did it.
Next time I wont leave my car alone when I return to hometown.
And I have suggested the owner corporation to install CCTV in the car park.
Luckily they didnt steal my recaro!Quote:

Guys
Got a leak somewhere
Water in the BOOT
Anyone had this problem,,,?
HELP
Luke, I don't have an ep3 but in my experiences most book leaks are either bad boot/tailgate seals, rubber plugs on the boot floor or tail lights loose or broken.Quote:

Good luck byuddy
Yeah I've recently seen a dc5r with the same problem. In his case was that the rubber seals of one of his taillights was gone.
Lucky its an Ep3. Put the rear seats flat, jump in the back with the tailgate shut and get a mate to spray it with a hose ..inspect... I would say rubbers or tail lights
Check the welding in the boot , check the central plug welded under the spare wheel - water can flick up under during extended periods of driving in the rain. It can easily get in around the small holes and sit in ur bootQuote:

Yeah that's common with our cars. Same as mine! Lol but no problem with the parking lights. Haven't heard from you in a while!
Havent heard from you in ages Denrie where u been?
