yeap, I called and spoke to Arthur who then got the prices from Haks. This will be the LAST mod !!..
Kpro and tune will cost another 2k.. and I really don't want to spend anymore as I've just spent abit over 2k on headers and intake...

and
http://seiboncarbon.com.au/products/...-civic-si.html
one is jdm one isnt. can anyone confirm what is the actual difference? thanks
wow, my Tegiwa exhaust is already delivered to my door. I placed the order on the 27th November and it's arrived so quickly... woot.. now the anxious wait to have it installed. I'm tempted to go to another exhaust shop, but Hak's seems to have a good rep so I'll wait.
Cheaper than what I paid.Quote:

I'm still deciding whether to get headers or not lol. Cause if I do then I need kpro and tune later. Sigh.
Yeap, cars are a money pit. If I was single and didn't have a mortgage, I'd probably spend all my money on car stuff ahah
Ahahah. Indeed. Once you have mortgage it gets crazy lol.Quote:

any ideas? checked vacuum hoses seems fine. I've plugged the temp sensor into the CAI it only goes in 1 way and it just squishes in place right?
you mean its fluctuating between 1100 and 2000rpm at idle? Usually its a common problem with a bad idle air control valve or 02 sensor, first thing i would do is take the iacv out and give it a good clean with carb cleanerQuote:

Must have been the ecu learning to close loop? Not sure all is good thanks. I might clean the idle valve anyway car has a slight misfire on idle.
any recommendation for 100k service in Melb? western suburbs
Just a noob question..
What are the differences between Facelift and Pre face, is it just the light fly wheel, front and rear lights, front bumper?
What about motor wise, same power or different?
Just Researching before I purchase one, but I like the Pre face more then the facelift.. My opinion lol
under the hood is mostly same; there are very very subtle changes but its mostly exterior differences like you mentioned. you also get a bigger red H badge on the grill lol personally i have the pre FL but like the stock FL front end better, but pre FL with mugen lip/air walker is win. I never really liked the altezza look on the rear lights in the FL model.Quote:

The rear lights on FL, yuk! Never liked the idea of altezza.
Both come with lsd and yea air walker is a lip. you can always get the fl and swap the rear lights to pre fl?Quote:
Originally Posted by dc2screama

I see alot of headlights on eBay.. anyone tried any of them?
Aw good good, looking to buy one next year, just doing some research!
Any common problems with them?
Or if l plan to lower the car?
Nah is rather the preface over face lift.
There just some about the FL I don't like, preface is more aggressive
Yeah Iv seen a few of those depo ones out on eBay, id imagine you would have problems with fitment or something..Quote:
Originally Posted by doosra

Cheers, I'll probably steer clear of them. Sounds like they could be more hassles.
lol i hope so, because shes got everything planned out ;DQuote:

So tempted to do a brembo conversion >.<
Does it matter much in terms of efficiency between a 100 cpi and a 200cpi cat? I assumed a 100cpi cat would flow better, but i've read around saying that a 100cpi cat would normally need more structural support in the build to prevent the cells from collapsing and such, and these supports restrict air flow and therefore make the gains negligible compared to a 200cpi cat. Looking at PLM headers, it comes with a 200 cpi cat, just wondering if it's worth getting a 100 cpi one.
Are u referring to the byp package? I think it comes with 100cpi.Quote:

oh fukQuote:

Tell me about it. Well my one had slight manufacturer fault which could be fixed so he said I could have it for 550 which is still $20 more expensive than a new non faulty one.
And these shops wonder why they lose business to traders on the Internet . . .
what kind of imperfection did the headers have ?Quote:

edit: dw it's a coupon code lol
Just the bolt bracket at the bottom part of the header doesn't line up so the bracket needs to just be moved so the bolt can go through and be tightened. Nothing major.Quote:
Originally Posted by Icebox

Is it worthwhile getting new engine mounts even if mine are still fine? I'm considering hasport mounts from Jdmyard since they still have their 20% off sale..thoughts?
Also, hardrace, hasport or mugen mounts?
Defs worthwhile, i'd go with hasports, im running 62a in the front and trans and 70a in the rear, vibrations aren't even bad, and become even less noticeable once they wear in. Hardrace is hardened rubber where as hasports use polyurethane; mugen apprently doesn't feel must different from stock and is also rubber.Quote:

Haven't installed headers yet. Next Monday will be going to haks
Question: on the odo, what's trip B represent?
Link comes up with "product not found" btw, but if its the link to the dc5 or ep3 hasport mounts set then yea they're the ones. Just check with the hardness rating cause they didn't state it.Quote:

So I'm like well I don't remember resetting it 1.5kms ago so what givesQuote:

Pretty sure they reset when they hit 1000k, which would explain the above.Quote:

I'm more unsure about the o2 bung location, is it too near the core? most bungs i've seen start where the pipes straighten out... Also did you guys get the slip joints welded?
Hi everyone!
I'm in the market to buy a EP3R facelift model. I'll be in Sydney from 26th-31st Dec for a holiday and wedding. I'll likely be taking down cash with me to buy a car.
I have been in contact with 2 dealerships with EP3R FLs in stock - Unique Motors and IMG. I hear IMG has a very good reputation amongst Sydney enthusiasts. Anyone have any dealings with Unique Motors located on Parramatta Rd, Five Dock?
Also, would anyone here happen to be trying to sell their EP3R FL?
This is from the thread I started in the Wanted to Buy section.

Thanks Perry. You bought an EP3 from IMG? I spoke with Gavin today and he seemed pretty experienced with the EP3 and mentioned ozhonda.Quote:

Alot of the K20 Engine and chassis parts are interchangeable with the DC5 and there are also lots of aftermarket availabilities. Its really only body parts that may be hard to find.Quote:

$55 per wheel. Approx 15-20cm`s of rash all up on the two wheels, deepest spots were probably 2-3mm deep. It looked like the previous owner tried to diy and bend them back with some vice grips :(Quote:

The car sounds great when you give it but when idling or cruising at less than 3,000rpm, it sounds stock so its a very very quiet exhaust. I read somewhere that its a copy of the Fujitsubo rm01a. Overall very happy. Performance wise, havent driven it enough yet as I was traveling home in peak hour.
