sai_ANN, mmm not too sure, weighing up a few different options, R34 Gtr Vspec, S2000 with work done to it or fully restored(everything) R32 Gtr.
the 34 when i drove one recently did feel big and heavy which put me off though. thoughts or experiences?
rather than starting a thread just for globes, i have a set of silvatec(look clear flash amber) rear indicator globes leftover i found when clearing my drawer today after the car went. Used for all off maybe 10 seconds as it was a second set and only put them in to test and then forgot about them. if anyone is interested please pm me.
p.s - mods/everyone: not looking to make money out of the globes and did not want to start a thread just for them so putting them here as they are the offset ones that suit ep3 so sorry if i am doing something wrong.
cheers
what about a very nice clean standard R33 silver with R34 rims :thumbsup: got one here.....oh wait you are in perth lol.Quote:

Thats a shame youve moved on typercivic, but Im sure you'll find something to fill that void pretty soon, I hope its as engaging to drive thou...
I picked up my facelift EP3R last friday and already put a whole bunch of km's on it since then. Its such a dream to drive, so smooth and torguey when your just cruising and it really gets up and dances when you get into it. Love the handling too, very progressive and edgy at the same time.
Anyway its gold, and IMG are still doin a great job after the sale aswell so cant recommend them enough.
It went to a good home, mate.Quote:

Not as light as we thought.
Understeers at the limit, but the limit is quite high indeed!
it would grip and grip and grip, but when you're at the limit the car would lean on the outside springs, and the moment the inside tires lifts up, the LSD would stop working and the car would push understeer.
So First Mod, Suspension! The motor has got enough go as it is.
It's more than 1 sec faster than stock FN2 around Barbagello short and probably about the same gap to a stock S2000
geez. thats alot, would of definitely expected lowerQuote:

dammmmm you......hopefully only a week till mineQuote:

slightly better
definitely better. i got quote for $1k for DC2R @ $20k agreed value and i am paying $800 for EP3 @ $30k agreed value with aftermarket wheels.
dam queensland >_< in sydney u look at more then double that amount *sigh*
Hey all, I gave my ep3 a good clean today and took it out for it's first proper dash on some good tight twisties and farout mate, the car was in it's element! It's got enough torque and pickup to just sit in third and go all day =) very happy indeed.
Also came across another cw ep3r facelift model while out today :p my mate who was following me thought he was seeing double hehe pulled up next to him at the lights an he said he'd had his for 4 months so there's at least a few fl ep3's gettin around syd now. He had a single pipe exhaust and a front mugan lip grill, sound familar to anyone?
Who's your insurer?Quote:

Hey fellow EP3 owners, when your sitting at the lights (eg, so when car idling normally) what rpm is your tacho sitting on? Mine sits at 900rpm, it seems a bit low and very easy to stall so just thought I'd check to see what every one elses sits at?
that's what my EP3 idles on with a stock ecu
900rpm is about right.
the stock firewheel is a light weight item so it can be easy to stall. u'll need to give it a little rev.
ahh thats ok then, just wanted to check :) a few more rpm on launch it is then ;) thnx
Took my car for a drive on weekend, it's still stock standard and I was impressed by performance, I think it's faster then my S2K and modded DC2R use to be, I'm loving it. Had a bit of play with my mates modded STI, he is faster but he recons he had to push it hard to keep up with me trough few corners and roundabouts, also took my mate for a ride (he is EVO man) he recons it's bloody fast for 2.0l NA, after I do few mods I think it's gonna be a weapon and should suprise few turbo cars on drags and track hehe
car is good but only 1 thing i find annoying and that is when im driving it feels that the steering wheel is 2 far away. And i cant move seat forward due to leg room :( other then that the car is awesome :D
^ ever think of straightening up the chair? :p
