You can't really see it but I cut the part that comes around the front because pre fl lip curves up, hence why it doesn't work.
Do you have a more front on picture? Ahah :)Quote:

Also, this may be of interest to some of you. Feel free to make me an offer outside of eBay.

Opinions on replacing the union jack with the Japanese flag?
https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8488/...a146c72c_b.jpg
Maybe the rising sun rectangle flag would look better
The car was made in UK, why not keep the history of the car with it a little?
Just delete the uk badge and civic.
aussie flag
Yes. Just need to shave a few mm off each of the rear eyelets and run dc5 tie rod endsQuote:

Sounds to me like you got the most pedantic inspector in the universe mate, they didn't even look twice at mine here in QLD when it was roadworthy time.Quote:

Anybody looked in to rear sway bars?
What size is the stock one?
stock is 22mm hollow
whiteline is solid 24mm 2 point adjustable (23.5 or 24.5 iirc)
cusco is solid 25mm
Is it best to get both front and rear? Or just rear?
Cheapest place to buy?
rear is more beneficial for fwd, less understeer. Whiteline is pretty good
For the feint hearted this will be very scary.Quote:

A bit exaggerated.. I've upgraded just rears to white line and it's awesome.. hugs corners more.. not scarey at allQuote:

Ill be quiet from here. There are precautions when tuning suspension.
Yeah I know what your saying but I found stock ep3 had too much understeer so I really loved the difference with the rsb but I also push it within reason as well.. nothing too crazy.
I've read around a bit and it is clear that a rear sway bar in a FWD will induce more oversteer.
But what I'd still like to know is what are the effects of upgrading both front and rear sway bars.
more stable when corneringQuote:

Know if it'll fit with the f7 subframe brace?
Yeah I'm running that setup nowQuote:

Under 1000AUD @ RHDJAPAN.
Just wondering what speakers you guys are running in your ep3 as the stock ones are $h!t. Any recommendations regarding a good set + amp? Not really keen on spending a ridiculous amount on A grade quality, just want some decent ones.
Cheers
None, take them out.
How deeps the pocket?Quote:

Hmm do ur research many very good items can be had for 200 big ones.
JBHIFI was selling 4 way sony for 105 a pair 6 inch. Amp to match for 58. Pretty cheap.
Most will say get splits. Which is true its better. But the ones worth mentioning cost more then 200. Then add cost of amp wiring kit etc etc
6in will be direct fit. No trim cutting etc.
Get good wiring kit if ur doing it at home.
descent speaker setup for under 200. If u want a sub make sure you make correct decisions in relation to ur amp. This may push the budget a little. But it will save u many troubles.
Alright thanks heaps mate!
Check Ryda or Soundmaster for prices or keep an eye out for when jbhifi do 30% off car audio. All you need is to get some speakers and run them off an amp and you'll get much improved sound. You could get some ok splits and rear speakers like alpine type s for about 200 and then spend another 100 on amp and then wiring kit which will be about 40 and you're done..
Cheers for the suggestions guys, will most likely end up waiting for a sale [emoji4]
Just over $800, I got it from this site wen it was $1k, had no issuesQuote:

EDIT: I know that Whiteline 22mm on a DC5 clears all aftermarket headers. Just wandering if it's the same story with EP3.
Most DC5 headers will fit the EP3, my plm headers sit close to the swaybar when the car is jacked up. I also suggest you run stiffer motor mounts or atleast stiffer rear mount as i found mine knocking on the sway during more spirited drives.
Anyone know if I can get any kind of foglights to fit with the airwalker lip?
Pretty much have to custom fit them. Chris had some done them on his. Pretty sure only one with air walker lip with fog lights.Quote:

I want the car to handle as balanced as possible. Reduce understeer, reduce oversteer.
eBay seller couldn't provide the Whiteline parts in time, so I'll have to hunt elsewhere.
Meanwhile this gives me an opportunity to re-assess if I need the full set, front and rear.
Tempted to stay with the stock front sway bar to allow for PLM Headers.
Just get rear mate it will make a huge difference [emoji106][emoji106]
Agree, just go rears. Try MRT Performance in Ryde if your are from Sydney
Awesome. Ryde is quite close to me. What's good about MRT Performance?
Not sure what u mean by your question. You're after the white line sway bar right? Well they sell it. They also sell on ebay as well.Quote:

They were cheapest on ebay so I contacted them directly and they gave me like a 10% discount for buying in store as the price on ebay is inclusive of "free postage".
Are you installing yourself ? If so, get ready for a pain in the ass job. The oem end links are the worse design and so hard to take off..
They don't have a listing on eBay, so I'll have to visit them.
I'd rather have it professionally installed. They do installations too, right?
Yeah I'd say so.
I've used MRT before as well. These days they dont carry much Honda stuff.
Also got discount for buyin store from ebay listing.
Any of you fellas want spoon calipers? need them gone. 1k flat, can post for a few bucks more
MRT Performance is out of stock. 6-8 week wait if I want to order.
Same story with eBay seller.
Any other resellers out there?
OR any other alternate brands?
Try 999automotive
99automotive doesn't have stock. Any others?
Just jump on ebay. There are a couple of sellers
I did. One seller was selling both front and rear in one package. I purchased that, telling me the rear bar wasn't able to be here for 8 weeks. Ended up with a $195 front sway bar though! Other seller just selling rear bar, I made contact before purchase and same story. No stock.
anyone recommend a smash repairs around Sydney?
arrr nice welcome to the ep3 group
Hehe cheers Perry, good group to be in.Quote:

Lately my 1st and 2nd gears have been engaging weird. It's like a sudden loss of power then it goes to normal again. Kind of hard to explain to be honest.
In any gear whilst I'm moving and I'm not on the accelerator, the car jerks a little a few times...
Car is throwing a cel light too. Codes show that the primary o2 sensor is on low voltage and the car is running rich.
Recent mods are an rbc intake mani, s90 70mm TB and a ktuned fuel rail.
Not sure how to properly explain this but if you guys know what's crackin let me know!
Are u using a aftermarket ECU?Quote:

Im guessing that could be the cause of it with the manifold and TB mod but ill let the experts to comment on this to confirm.
It's been driving fine for over a month. Not sure if it's causing first and second to act the way it is though =[
Dirt in manifold or leak in the manifold.Quote:

get a few quotes on importing and compare with car salesQuote:
