Really want a proper fascia so its all smooth and looks like it fits properly, atm it just has this gap :(
I've owned and EP3 for about a year now and i have some issues with bump steer.
At slow speeds, over bumpy roads the cars steers violently to the left and I hear slight knocks.
Also the steering wheel is not centered, (pulls to the right, when i try and center it)
I have had the wheel alignment done twice now and it corrects it for a while, but after a couple of weeks it goes back.
So far i have done the top mounts, sway bar end links and wheel alignment.
Nothing seems to have fixed it for good.
Wondering if it is worth doing the steering rack slider and ball joints? as these can cause issues as well
Or maybe just go somewhere and get a proper alignment?
The car is running stock suspension and aftermarket wheels 17x7.5 +40
Any advice would be much appreciated :)
What do you mean a "proper" alignment? Are you just doing your alignment: at home? Have a look at your tie rod ends and also your drive shafts for any leaks or excessive play in them.
Nah I've had a mechanic do the wheel alignment.Quote:

100% goto a shop with a 4 wheel alignment machine will fix your problem.Quote:

I think you are right though. So far I've replaced the front sway bar drop links and top mounts.
I've had the suspension checked and there is no play in any suspension components.
I suspect it is the steering rack slider due to the play in the steering wheel when the car is stationary.
My Whiteline sway bar and RM01A are vibrating against each other...
Until today... The vibrations stopped.
I look under the car and the driver side as completely disconnected...
If anyone has been in this situation what did you do?
Did you end up selling the bar for another? Go back to stock? Stiffen exhaust hangers?
I want to know what works.
Do you mean the drivers side clamp where the bushings go? I'm running white line rsb and tegiwa exhaust which is a copy of rm01a and no issues
Not the clamp/bushings. The sway bar has completely separated itself from the end link.
O shit. I got aftermarket hardrace end links. I hate the stock end links since they're the biggest pain to remove with Allen key
Looks like you're set up the same as me. How come you have no rattles? Are you stock suspension? Which hole did you use for the Whiteline?
I'm lowered on coilovers and using the firmer setting.
Plenty clearance

I'm lowered on coilovers and I'm
May be it's the coilovers. I'm on stock.
Or take ur car to exhaust place and I'm sure they can modify the hangers
Got it sorted temporarily. I adjusted it to the softer setting. It was vibrating whilst it was 24.5mm.
23.5mm doesn't touch, so I'm happy with that.
And I've realised the prices for these Whiteline sway bars have increased.

Anyone done a facelift headlight conversion onto Pre facelift EP3?
If so what parts are needed and is it a direct straight fit?
mine was as simple as boltign the headlights in. Mind you, mine were DEPO replicas.Quote:

Yeah I was trying to figure out if its worth it, I still have the original JDM HID set of lights but they use different bulbs compared to facelift ones.
so...after almost a year of not driving the ep3 i decided to take it out... then a kangaroo decided to kamikaze at 80kph so I'm sourcing some front end parts.
anyone know if the front impact bar would be the same as the dc5? also, anyone got a spare pfl front bumper and headlight brackets lying around?. Would be happy to buy the, would like to sell the car soon...
Wow that's bad luck!!! Good luck sourcing parts bro!

There is heaps less bump steer and the wheel self centers easier.
It drives in a straight line nicer as well, without having to adjust the wheel so often.
Got my mechanic to show me the part, it was cracked, basically fell apart in his hands.
It has taken while but finally got to the bottom of it. Just thought id post this up in case anyone else was having the same issues.
Torque Steer is like 1/2 the fun of owning an EP3/DC5.
Searching for a Facelift mugen grill if anyone comes across one please let me know =)
JDM has the flag but UK didn't have it coque sony xperia z5 compact coque sony z5 compact
Torque Steer is a little different to what I was experiencing.Quote:

It does involve taking out the steering rack. Or at least moving it into position where you can get a spanner to change the part. There are a few DIY tutorials on the web, but i wasnt game enough to try.
Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me what rpm they are doing @100kmph in 6th gear? I'm just trying to figure out what final drive I have.
Thanks
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has used depo headlights for their ep3.
I've found a pair on eBay from US and just have a few questions:
How are they to install?
Will it make a difference to the strength of light because they're designed for driver right-hand side or will it be ok to fit to our models?
Cheers
At 90km/h mine sits just above 3200 RPM. Pretty sure that I have the standard final drive installed.Quote:

installed bc br coilovers on my ep3 last weekend. its currently on no.24 dampening setting (8 from the hardest) all round.
just wondering what everyone else has theirs set at? im still playing with it to find the best comfort. only down point currently is that my front driver side tyre rubs on slight bumps. if i go stiffer on the front, will it prevent the scrubbing?
also the driver side seems to be slightly lower than passenger side, maybe by like 8-10mm. is that coz of the engine weight being on right hand side?
any input would be good! thanks!
Looking for a pre facelift front bumper, pm me.
i got bc gold coilovers on my ep3, 16 stiffness at front and 24 Back. 24 all around was stiff as f!%@@k
Does anyone know part numbers for door lock actuators for EP3 (pre-facelift)? My passenger side has stopped working and the drivers side seems to hesitate a little, keen to replace both.
