As for antenna the link doesnt work! I dont like my huge one and homda doesnt make a genuine one :( so j's racing make them :) $100! Woah
Reception doesnt worry me, car only gets light fm as still have genuine double din radio i plan to keep :p, wish i could expand stock signal to get 100+ frequency fm stations
LOLLL that car was farkkkked when i drove it. jeff fanged it hard cold rofl so glad i didnt buy it. was cheap for a reasonQuote:

The cars great. Drives great as well, has no problems and they fixed everything i asked.
Best one i looked at
I broke the seat genious, thanks for the help!
If so farkked what was wrong with it then? Lol, providing you know what to look for
*it is the plastic circle trim that holds it
Will go to honda tomoz
ripped seats, worn gear knob, condition of trims. i found it hard to believe the car had 83000km. did he provide dereg or auction papers?
the parts that actually look new are replacable items. he was willing to sell for around 14k on road. it costs more than that to import, comply and register a car.
it costs half as much to buy a shitty one and replace panels and items, wind the kms back and give it a detail to sell
not having a dig at you man
All papers provided, everything legit, sewed the seat, its a gearknob... A gearknob. Easily replaced! Hard to believe you decide on buying a car over interior condition, lol. Maybe look at gearbox, clutch, engine, and service history when buying a car first. Just a tip!
Anyway back on topic! I pushed it back in sits fine, might replace clip for safe measures.
thanks for the tip bro, had no idea
stay safe
Had a feeling you didnt know, no problem
^ lololol

Will an exhaust for a usdm ep3 (civic si) fit the jdm ep3? I heard there was some differences?
Nope, won't fit.Quote:

Probs gonna do a datalog and eliminate as much as the knocking as possible if any and take it easy.
Also, after a tune, should be there any knocking at all? been reading that a little is possible and ok but then also read that any knocking is not acceptable? last thing i'd want is to pay heaps of money just to prematurely destroy my engine lol
just wait till youre ready to have it tuned before you put it in.Quote:

Don't know any good tuners here but I Byp said theyre coming up to Brisbane. But there's been alot of dispute about their work on the forum I'm having second thoughts...
Try find others tuners.Quote:

uk model seats with round hole and odo is in miles
also has less power than jdm variant

anyone know what this does?
just a mount insert. prevents engine movement for good feel in pantsQuote:

lmao BBC pro spec exhaust
at least 2.5.
3 is better
depends how far you want to go with ur car
You would think BBC is mininmum 10"....
Hey guys, changed my primary o2 sensor over over the weekend as the old one died. CEL light went away but after driving it for a bit it came back on, any ideas on whats going on?
Best you go get the code scanned and see what it comes up with. Maybe your second o2 sensor is gone too. What o2 sensor did you get?Quote:

Ever get the feeling you shouldn't have said something? XDQuote:

And with the worn shifter ball, as far as I know the only way to fix it is to replace the whole shifter box. Anyone here running a BC (not bbc) short shifter? I hear it causes great stress to the synchros
I got my short antenna from eBay and tested it and reception is same but what I've noticed is that he ep3 doesn't need an antenna. I had the antenna off and the reception stayed the same... J's racing antenna for $100.. Definitely not worth itQuote:

I've got one sitting at home and yep same part number. Hope its the right one. I bought it off Gumtree cause a guy bought the wrong one. How much do they go for?Quote:

He said he had the 4 door civic and bought the wrong one. Got it for $50 :)Quote:

You'll most likely need to bash out the radiator support to get it to fit.Quote:

In regards to exhaust sizing, go to a 2.75in or 3in exhaust for best power and torque gains
RBC is definitely worth it, just depends on whether or not you are willing to make it fit. Ultimately if you are going to the lengths to get it tuned, you want an RBC + minimum 2.5" exhaust. What header are you using? Thats where the real gains are...
What josh said ^^ lol
Headers are plm, which i think might be leaking around the slip joint. Money is restriction :( there's a guy selling a brand new rbc manifold, modificated to be a straight swap for the ep3 and dc5 engines.
To make it fit on the ep3 there was an installation guide in his ad where he just undid the front support bolts and pushed it forward to make more space then redrilled the holes to for the bolt to go back on. Here it is http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151091894071?redirect=mobile
He rabbles on alot about it lol but I'm deciding to get one or the other. Just wanted to see what would net greater gains by itself after a tune. I was considering 3" exhaust but every 3" I've heard sounds too loud and after a certain rpm it don't sound nice to my ears j's racing 70rr for example. Apparently lose some power too due to less back pressure or something :S I might get exhaust custom made by a good shop tho.
