EU as in UK version of the EP3? If so, i believe it should fit.
yeah to my understanding is EU is the civic hatchbacks we have here, but i was under the impression that its a different chassis?Quote:

EU is the 5 door chassis....released all over the world with a d17 SOHC power house. Apparently the suspension is quite similar to the EP3R - you MIGHT have to shave the rear a slight amount off the lower bush (ala DC5R suspension)Quote:

Lol my bad, forgot about the 5 door versions of our car :P

That's all I know
Yeah I also kinda thought this as well. I didnt think the EP3 would share the same suspension setup as a EU/ES.Quote:

places/people/prices would be good thx
your actually correct, they dont share the same suspension setup, so i was talking to my mate,and apparently they have a different kits for EU and EPQuote:

it should fit, the civic si is running the same ep3 chassis so you shouldnt have much problems with it.Quote:

and yes, the civic si mounts will definitely fit.
was planning on the innovative 85A, just wanted to make sure the SI fitted the Type R :pQuote:

Does any one have a diy on how to pop out the tie rod ends and remove the whole tie rod from the steering bracket?
Hey just wondering where you guys buy OEM parts from? I'm after a drive belt and MTF. Would you go to your Honda dealership for this? Thanks.
Yea but they have to order from Japan.Quote:

Yeah I just picked up a few bottles of MTF from my local dealer today :)
Has anyone done a Jdm dc5 brembo front brake conversion? apart from needing s2k size rotors and possibly spacers for clearance; through searching, i'd apparently need jdm dc5 lca, axles and knuckles. Thing is i'm not sure if they are talking about the non-jdm ep3 and whether or not this applies to the jdm ep3
Spotted a ep3 with white volks on the m4 exit to parra just now. Waved and said hi. :D
That was me!! from the looks of it, you live a street infront of me small world hahaha, but sorry if i was speeding nature calls LOL~Quote:

Undo the nut until it is flush with the end of the bolt. Start hammering. Did this once before. Came off pretty easily.Quote:

For th actual tie rod itself are you saying to undo it from the boot in the middle? Is it necessary to fold back the crush washers between the steering bracket? As you said it doesnt seem like an easy job at all.Quote:

and spacers as its only used to clear your rims keep in mind after going s2k rotors I think your offset will be different so rim selection will be different as well. I thought about going with that particular brakes setup but instead of using s2k rotors you could get custom mounts which will retain using your original ep3 spec rotors that's just another option though. Honestly if you track alot than do it other than that ill go for the bling if it's cheap. It all adds up budget what you want first, sometimes it adds up just getting aftermarket ones instead.Quote:

I just love the way they set the car off at every angle, where as with stock, on certain angles it looks wingless and resembles a pimped out mini van lol Then again, this is personal preference... :P
I've always wondered about the Mugen wing with the cf middle blade part. Is it a variant of the Mugen wing? Is it just custom cf wrapped from a normal one?Quote:

The original mugen wing is made from fiberglass, but it does look mean with the colour coded sides and carbon fibre or black middle, which is the route i might take if i ever get around putting the money for one lol
anyone willing to part out theirs? :P will even throw in oem + cash lol
Hence why I went with Seibon instead of Mugen.Quote:

Thanks
