Lock out sensor is basically stops you from accidentally shifting into reverse. I think it uses use moving speed to sense it. As for running kpro I'm not sure, but you'll want prb, prd or pre ecuQuote:

Also found out that the engine doesn't have a receipt from the builder to confirm the engine hasn't been stolen (also found out that dr Honda is a scam artist from BYR). Thsts just the tip of the issues wrong with the car, I'm glad I got that pre purchase inspection done. Car is impossible to engineer without a legit receipt from dr Honda.
dr. honda? wat tha fuk is this shit
Is this the white K24 going for 16K?
Yep that's the oneQuote:

is it just the harness plug (stock to JVC) and ep3 specific fascia ill need? a lot of conflicting info around on other forums
and anywhere to get them from for cheap? not sure bout ebay if theyre made for jdm or usdm or ukdm? should be same yeah
Looking at doing the same thing myself in the coming weeks. Read on various forums that a fascia won't be needed due to the OEM headunit being double din.Quote:

Im getting confused on the fascia part I got a double in it just sits a little bit on a angle.
what do you mean?
how did you secure it in the slot? points up to the sky aye
No need for a fascia. Double din will fit perfectly in the ep3. I have one installed in mine. Its also worth getting a reverse camera which I bought for $13 and works a treat.Quote:

It only points up a little. when you buy the head unit there should be a bracket that comes with it so the deck can slot in (its metal)Quote:

I don't have a photo on me but its mounted above the number plate. I removed the license plate bulb cover. Just get any camera on eBay and wire it to ur headunitQuote:

I used double sided tape to mount mine lol, its next to the tow hook so i can use it as a reference. it's not noticeable either :D
Anyone have HIDs on their high beams? My highbeams make no difference at all with my low beams (hid) on lol and i drive on pitch back roads every night. Not like i flash people either anyway.
^pics of ghetto camera mount pls
hey guys,
the noob section takes forever to get an answer, so ill just ask here.
In regards to the ep3r, what model of hondata k pro would you need in order to do a proper tune. do you just get the k series hondata kpro and your good to go?
thanks.
My camera has mount where u can put screws so I screwed it in to the plastic under the bulb coverQuote:

Then get it tuned based on your mods from a good tuner. I suggest you get the basic I/H/E before tuning.
u wan hondata for yr corola m8?Quote:

On other news, replica mugen wing came! and new wheels yo, one of my fav wheels of all time, wedssport tc005 forged.
Thinking if i should colour match the center part of the wing or make it black..

Does anyone know if the autowatch aftermarket immobiliser cuts power to the ECU for ep3s sold by IMG?
I discovered that when I'm using the OBD scanner, the long term fuel trim resets to 0% every time I turn off the car with the key.
The car is always learning when I start the car and potentially not achieve the optimal AFR.
Perhaps, this explains frequent carbon build up appear from the exhaust ??

This is turn will naturally make the standard ECU retard timing and run richer - giving you this carbon build up and also not-that-good fuel economy.
You can plug in a local DC5R or DC5S and this will help with your carbon problem over time and also gain back decent fuel economy!

Its just a reference lol, like all reverse cameras you should never solely rely on it. Still always do the old head check
Mines pretty good to solely rely on it for parkingQuote:

Yes, I do acknowledge that aussie fuel is not as great as JDM fuel and do play a part of carbon build up. That's common knowledge floating amongst most EP3 owners.Quote:

Anyway, from what I have gathered is that the long term fuel trim parameter on any ECU is not precisely 0% and should be within range of -10% to 10% under normal running conditions. This is value formulated from the short term fuel trim which is dictated by the signal read from the primary oxygen sensor.
The prefl ep3's long term fuel trim value always resets to 0% for time the engine is started. This value is too ideal to be realistic and hence I'm curious to understand why this is the case. On my fl ep3 however, which has a different immobilizer system retains a value between -6% to -5.5% each time I start the engine. Based on this the prefl ep3 complied by the workshop which IMG (who did the aftermarket immobiliser) does not seems to persistently store the long term fuel trim value which my facelift ep3 does. Both use OEM ECU but compliance were done at different workshops.
Now the interesting observation and comparison from rear exhaust tip of both ep3s is that the prefl appears to be relatively darker with carbon soot than my fl ep3. This seems consistent with the fact the my fl ep3 is running relative leaner than the prefl ep3 based on long term fuel trim. Hence, I have a concern that the immobilizer always resetting the ecu (due to power cut off) and resulting the prefl ep3 running slightly richer than it needs to.
Anyway, just food for thought that got me curious.

What's our standard front and rear sways size?
i think the fronts are 25mm and the rear is definitely 18mm from the top of my headQuote:

Jdm ep3 is 22mm. I think the us or uk one is 19mm
Anyone got a vernier caliper and stock anti-roll bars? Go measure LOL =P
If I had my friends EP3R with me, I would do it for you Perry :p
So I went for my first mountain run and it was great, but know i know instead of aiming for power, I want handling.
I feel that sometimes if i corner to hard, my car begins to lose traction, other than tires what other upgrades can I do to improve handling?
I currently have engine mounts and an exhaust.
what tyres have you got atm?
Sailuns, they came with the car.
Maybe get some Bridgestone potenzas, upgrade sway bar?Quote:

Cusco makes a 25mm one, and whiteline makes a 24mm. Both are adjustable, and Whiteline is more available. Coilovers help a ton too, but get some rear camber arms if you plan to lower tho
Whiteline one.Quote:
