Secondly your toe is off, your camber at the front is un even

Shouldn't camber be less negative on the drivers side compared to the passenger at the front?
Seems to be opposite. :/
Who did that alignment? Lol
With the camber plates, they should of got the even camber settings.
epvtir
Even camber settings only ideal when they do the alignment with a person in the drivers seat.Quote:

Once you sit in car camber should be almost even.
But hes got more camber on the drivers side compared to the left side. So I'm a bit confused..
account for tha missus brahQuote:

My older settings for my 17*7+30 and 215/40/17 were:
Height: Saggy Tein S-Tech Springs (Slammed)
Front Camber: -1.5
Front Toe: +0.21
Rear Camber: -3 (not ideal, I reckon -2.5 was enough)
Rear Toe: +0.5
Rear bumper remained unmolested until i got the 9 inch wheels in

I have 100cel hi flo connected to my plm.. Did it at performance exhaust centre by Haks. He also installed my cat back as well and it cost about 780Quote:

A question... Why would you add a Hi-Flow CAT to the test pipe? o.OQuote:

I think you mix up Type M with Type Z?Quote:

For bias towards track, I'm assuming you'll be using tyres with grip levels like KU36, AD08, RE11, etc...Quote:

Type M on rear at most if tracking, NG for track at the front...Quote:

Ahhhh might work, depends on your CAT, may have to shorten/weld ends to meet :p
yeah i figured something like this would fit within a chopped up TP

coilovers wont be more comfy thats for sure
stock is hella soft
not exactly trueQuote:

I found stock suspension quite hard on the ep3. My <1500 coils are fine but im used to bumpy rides anyway
Silverneos are horrible. They don't fit the stock tie rods properly since it is not tapered and poorly designed.
Hi everyone,
I want to get my major service out of the way for my JDM EP3R. It's a little over 70000km at the moment and IMG told me they only replaced the fluids when importing.
So my question is - which parts should I get replaced and what are their part numbers? The Honda dealer in Darwin (yes, we only have one Honda shop :( ) isn't very knowledgeable when it comes to the imports so would just like to go in there and get them to order parts without much fuss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
There wasn't many things to do when I imported my car at 72xxx
Oil
Oil filter
Spark plugs part no. NGK ZFR6FIX-11
Air filter
Cabin filter
Fuel filter part no. 16010-S5A-932
MTF
Coolant
Valve clearances
Obviously check all bushes and items that wear out over time like engine mounts, drive belts, brakes, driveshaft/steering rack boots, tie rod ends
I believe some people also readjust/check the timing chain, tensioner and replace the water pump
Cheapest would be to get your oil from repco sales, oil filter/MTF/coolant from mekong spares, cabin filter from US ebay ($20-25), fuel filter from the UK (~$50), spark plugs from ebay (~$50-60).
You'd be paying a crazy amount on fluids and filters from honda dealer
Thanks CB.Quote:

Where would I go to get the water pump? Not too keen on going through Honda...
Does Repco have genuine Honda oils or do you have experience with other oils that make your car perform better?
I just Googled Mekong Spares as I didn't know what you meant. Are you talking about the NSW shop? Do you think it'll be cheaper to buy from there and have it shipped?
Use Penrite 10tenths racing from Repco. Cheap and excellent oil.
MTF go genuine.
Sorry I thought you were from NSW since you got your car from IMG. Mekong spares is just a shop that sells fluids at the best priceQuote:

I dont understand what you are trying to achieve by doibg this? It will effect your rolling diameter which will throw out your speedo
To reduce wheel gap as I don't want to drop the car too much, as the lip will be sitting too low on the current 215/45. Was just a thought, awkward tyre size
hey guys haven't posted in a while
only things ive changed are new rims Enkei RPF1 Black and a Spoon N1 exhaust enjoy

Yeah i think you're right cb, my mates ep3 appears to have that rake.
I notice that too, the door seems heavy to open and just wants to shut on you
the doors closed on my shins so many times....
lmzo... had the door close on me with the key inside while fixing central locking and had the button down. very lucky phone wasnt in the car, called mum to drive over with the spare key. would have cried
damn door troll
I have same problem but only the drivers side.
My driver side recaro seems kinda flimsy.The right side plastic back where your lats rest has a lot of play in it. I can't seem to figure out if anything is loose as everything is just covered in plastic. Anyone's like this? Would like to fix it as it makes the seat feel so cheap
Haha yeap. Same as me. Some plastic circle thing came off on the inner side of the seat and its not as snug as it used to. Passenger seems fine. I just left it.
The plastic circle thing next to the seatbelt, when taken off doesn't even line up with the hole with some weird bolt and star washer its meant to cover. I can push it to where it should be but it just goes back to being way off.. makes a clicking noise sometimes too :(
