Should be fine to top up with. Honda makes small changes in oil additives from time to time, same with their MTF and then labels in differently to distinguish them. Though im not sure if they stopped making the SL when SM came out in 2004 so i dunno if oil expires or not lolQuote:

Hell no lol.
Fender flares are not the issue. Its the problem with the rear trailing arms and coilovers/shocks absorbers. You will most likely hit it.
You would rather a +30 or +35 or +22 lol.
^hella tite yo
What camber and tyre size you running? all about that scrub life
It was around -4 all round and 215/40 tyres
Looking fresh and minty as always victor :)
Can someone help me with this?

Hi All,
I've been doing quite a bit of digging although have not found anything worth pursuing.
I'm wanting to purchase a Air Walker Front Lip (Genuine/Replica).
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Cheers,
Edit: I should add - I've seen the listing on Jdmconcept for $700 AUD although wanting to know if there's anything at a better price.
Not sure if I'm seeing this correctly but Jdmconcept is now listing this for $880?!
Just saw this. Wanna give it a go and let us know the feedback on fitment.

Me too.. When u find a solution let me know. I've just dealt with it
Anyone know how to take the front type r badge off the front grill ? The letter y fell off :(
I used a heat gun/pencil blow torch until it went shiny and smoothed it out with my finger real quick whilst its warm. Be very careful tho! Don't wanna melt the dash lol just do quick passesQuote:

friends!
I'm wanting to make my EP3 immac street car again (shifting from track to street again). Any idea if there's any wrecks with a lot of parts still on them?
I'm after:
- Rear seat buckles
- Rear seat centre bracket
- Spare tyre and tool
- Rear boot carpet
- Sun Visors (with centre bracket)
So I fitted Evo 8 Enkeis (17x8 +38) with 235/45/17 all around and the rear tyres scrub when going over a bump during cornering.
Has anyone home rolled their rear guards?
The little weld looking dints makes me think a guard roller won't do and a panel beater is needed. Attachment 27456Attachment 27456
A guard roller will work fine but just be careful as the rear part near where it becomes rear bumper flares easy and if you fuk it up it will look uneven (as in your rear wheels look toe'd out)
Thanks CB. Did you roll your guards yourself, using an actual guard rolling tool?Quote:

But really, guard roller will work, just heat up the paint abit and just ease it out towards the rear as it can push out the fender as cb said.I also found I had to grind the small metal and plastic tab sticking out in the wheel well at the rear as it seemed pretty close to the tyre if it were to be fully loaded.
Hey guys got a question about wheel setup for ep3
currently im running 17x7+45, 215/45/17 (which is the stock ep3 size)
Gonna get my coilovers soon and im planning to do a flush look so that means i will need a new set of rims ...
will 17x8+44 / +35 work on 215/45 tyres?
do I need to roll guard? and which works better? +44 or +35?
Should I do a flush look with Ce28 rims or fk tht lol?
thx
Go with 17 x 8 +35 or even more aggressive if u want it flush. Here's what it looks like and I rolled my guards as well. Wheels are also for sale.
Looks really great, i want to but x8.5 or 9 will scratch the suspension isnt it? And my tyre might not fit those size :SQuote:

There are people who stretch 195 tyres on 9 inch rims, tho its highly counterproductive and not recommended
Not gonna plan for super aggressive look, half finger length between the fender is enoughQuote:

Where does everyone get the system from?
Picked up with the car or 2nd hand off Yahoo JP :)Quote:

If your lucky you'll find one second hand otherwise for much cheaper you can get a tegiwa one which is a copy of the rm01a. That's what I'm running on mine.Quote:

Price is actually cheaper once you register and check out because you don't have to pay VAT UK tax.
This is my car with 17x8 +38 ce28ns, with rolled gaurds, for some better fitment pictures.

Thinking of getting an EP3R soon. What is head room like in the back seats? I know the DC5 is pretty bad lol
You'd be very surprised with the amount of room you get in the back. Plenty of spaceQuote:

my steering wheel moves when going slow on bumpy uneven roads coming to a stop or even going over a bump sideways/one sided; I don't think you can get rid of it 100%. Using longer tie rods (todd's?), roll center adjusters, inverted tie rod ends and the rack raisers may help but in stock form the ep3 tie rods are pretty angled already.Quote:

I believe bump steer is caused when the tie rods are different angles to each other; so when one side of the car goes goes over a bump or uneven surfaces, it causes the front suspension to compress and the tie rod to move up or down (different angle to the other side), affecting toe angle of the wheel and causing the steering to move. You don't notice it at higher speeds cause it all happens so fast.
idk lol i just hold my steering wheel to keep it straight
No it will only make it worse.Quote:

100% serious. The DC5/EP3 toes in with bump travel from the factory, and moving the inner end of the tie rods upwards will only make this issue worse. For example, Realtime Racing, that once ran what were probably the most well prepared DC5s in the world, lower the inner end of the tie rod to correct this (probably in combination with a custom outer tie rod end):Quote:

Correcting bump steer is not a one size fits all solution, you need adjustment and it needs to be tailored to your ride height and geometry.
heyyy
need a driver side light bulb for my EP3
went to jax to getit fixed but they didnt have and didnt know what the light bulb part was..
can anyone help me here on the part no.
i'm pretty sure it's the OEM light from factory manufacture
This is correct, after hours of searching and researching, its as simple as this.Quote:

People may advise you otherwise to make a sale, be mindful.
Google the following term - How to tune DC5/EP3 suspension. 1st link has all your answers.
What to use your money on - Good set of Coils + Rear camber kit (depanding on how low you wanna go) + Good Wheel allignment.
If it's the OEM 01-03 HIDs then the bulb is "D2R".Quote:

OEM should be the 4000 range since they have a yellow tinge in the white light it emits
No sure about PFL but FL use Philips 85122(+) bulbs which are 4300K
Does anyone know the cheapest place to source MTF3 fluid?
I've seen it advertised on a FB page "Sumods" based in VIC. Just awaiting their reply.
Holy crap $90 delivered to NSW
You might be able to get other "race" brands for same price or cheaper. Without the wait from Repco or Autobarn.Quote:

Ah ok cool - which one in particular are you using? Pro 75W85?
I might stick with the cheaper MTF06 as I'm on a budget
I think 75w is recommended. Im using 85W
Hey guys, just installed an rbc intake manifold, s90 TB and k-tune fuel rail... Something strange is happening cause sometimes it idles at 2000 or 1500 but when I tap the accelerator it goes back down to 1000. (The engine is already warm). Anyone come across this after their upgrade?
Have you adjusted the TPS and Idle screw after doing the swap? They often go out of callibration when you mess with them and cause idle hunting. There is a good DIY to follow for checking if you havn't already - http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...age-on-the-TPS.Quote:

Anyone interested in genuine Mugen ep3 bonnet? Will sell cheaper than my for sale ad to you guys!
Has anyone else been interested in winglets before?
I've just found some on eBay and thought they looked nice.
Front bumper winglets

Side skirt winglets

Is someone able to invite me into the Melbourne EP3 page, there's a couple of other members who would join as well. Would be good to see the Melbourne one grow considering it's mostly dominated by sydney! PM me if you're in it!
has anyone have experience removing the rear side windows on the ep3?
Theres a Melbourne EP3 page? where? Im interested.. Looking for EP3 to travel tgt to Honda NetworkQuote:

go both, the mugen twinloop is pretty restrictiveQuote:
