Pretty much what everyone has said. The biggest difference i've notice was the coilovers. It helps mid corners when there is a bump which causes traction loss

Hey guys, was doing my routine oil change and noticed coolant leaking from here... im fairly noob besides oil change. Any ideas? Quick fix?

You're showing people a photo of your front lip with bits of coolant on it and expect us to be able to say whether or not it'll be easy to fix? lol
Try and see if you can isolate where the leak is coming from... areas to start are radiator, radiator hoses, water pump/thermostat.
mountain run on sailuns. you got big balls sonQuote:

18inch are 18x9.5 +38
Don't think 18x9.5 will fit without any negative camber.Quote:

Steering rack creaking is back again after greasing it 15 000kms ago -.- really sounds like the car is falling apart lol input shaft bearing is making some noise too. Symptoms starting to show after 100000kms lol
Just regrease it and you'll be happy again =PQuote:

I used white lithium grease in a spray can, but i dont think i sprayed enough in the drivers side cause it was a pretty tight fit behind the engine :\ time to buy a grease gun and some zip ties lol.
Because the guys who don't neglect their ep3 want to keep theirs.Quote:

Cb how do you mean when you say all Te ones you looked at were neglected?
Anyone tried Penrite Full synthetic HPR 5w-40 or their racing engine oils? Used to use Valvoline Synpower but considering giving these a try.
Cb is very picky. If its not a 4.5b then its neglected. Lmao
****, my friend decided to pull out the plug that connects to the tube that is connected to the airbox and then try start my car with it unplugged.
Now I have a CEL light and my car feels slower. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
I've replugged it back in and now i'm going to try reset the ECU
^your friend is an idiot.
why would you just make such a rash decision without any experience on what it may do.
shit even common sense should tell you that you dont just pull out something attached to the intake system.
boo yaQuote:

That seems to be the case. As looks like there aren't much good quality ep3 coming in now.Quote:

hence more and more thrashed type Rs
i dont understand why you cant respect your own property as a p-plater.
I guess the first batch of EP's imported with no indicators on the fenders are even more rare than.

Took me a while to find a mint one before, but looks like it's even harder now as there aren't much ep3s coming in.
Yep indeed. Getting rarer but not looked after by owners.Quote:

Not all P-platers thrash and abuse their cars, I got my P-plates 5 days ago and I've owned my EP3 for about 4 months now and it's seen two services, washed and polished weekly. Of course I like to hit vtec here and there but other then that I treat my car as it were my girlfriend.Quote:

I wouldn't consider an EP3 as a rare car, something like an EG6 would be rare.
But yeah who doesn't hit vtec once in a while?
My car has never seen vtec in my 5 years of ownershipQuote:
