Well you can't drive through puddles. You must avoid puddles at all costs.
You risk having hydrolock on your engine and the damage becomes irreparable.

i reckon u will unlock more power with aftermarket intake > upgrading ur stock exhaust
i found that the stock intake is really restrictive with my car
Plus u will hear ur vtec more aswell with aftermarket intake :)
Yeh i tho of CAI..SuperSteve i know you got Gruppe-m and it make good power out of it.
But are they are $1,400 to my door!!..hell so Expensive.,
I have look at other CAI but all of them to need to remove front bar and wheels..plus is scaring driving in the rain...unlike Gruppe-m,has the best CAI setup but just a bit too expensive!!
yeh could anyone now still can get it for 1k to melb??
is it the spots that dont go away after a clean? try bug and tar remover.Quote:

I have a clay bar actually and was going to give it a try over the holidays. Just need to get off my lazy arse...
I learnt a really neat trick recently to remove road grime. These are the little brown spots that usually sit on the lower couple of inches of the body work. A friend told me to try "dissolvit". It is a citrus-based cleaner used to remove gummy type residue like sticky tape residue. I was a bit sceptical but I thought I would give it a shot on a car I'm selling. And it worked an absolute treat! The road grime literally ran off the body work. I would give this a shot. It is citrus based so it won't harm your body work if you wash it off.
haha the intake was pretty quick to install... i got a lil help :P... but it's easy to do on ur own.... and i havent driven through puddles... avoiding it is the best wayQuote:

Great idea. I'd be in for Oran Park in a flash.Quote:

mf10s are nice, nice pick up, u need to lower ur car more and get a type r sticker on it, makes it look more original
hey is there a way to tell if ur engine mounts are gone ?? or u just look for obvious cracks in the mounts ??
cracks, fluid spills from the mounts and rips, i had a massive rip in mine
how do you shut your bonnets to avoid pressure dents? drop it shut? or rest it down then push it closed. i say this as my sisters polo has pressure dents on the bonnet due to this reason. what is the best way/ proceedure to close the bonnet without denting it?
did they result from pushing or dropping? i let mine drop from a small height.
rest it down then push it closed did it!!Quote:

yeah just drop it from like 20-30cm, don't exert force downwardsQuote:

Thats the best i could find...Is a USDM 2002/03 EP3 not JDM EP3 R just check it out mite help!!
spotted a pre facelift CW EP3 with Buddyclub front bar and wheels at Sunnybank Plaza this morning. anyone here owns this?
I saw this car couple times around sunnybank, I thought the car is yours?
nop. mine is a facelifted.
there is another facelifted around Sunnybank which is owned by a lady. she's on OH too.
oic, then I thought her car is the one i met around before, sorry for missunderstand about that coz i am not familiar with EP3.
haha no worries man. i very rarely park my car in public places. actually that car is stock with BC coilovers so this bc front bar one is a different car again.
EP3s are getting popular.
Ya, agree, but I just wondering how come EP3 always in white or blk on road here? coz they just have such colour?
JDM EP3 has CW, black and red. Silver is available for Comfort Package as well.
CW and black are most popular, red is the rarest.
Can't exactly remember but i remember seeing an ep3 with stock wheels between 2 cars.Quote:

hey guys i just got bridgestone adrenalins installed onto my car. 215/45/17 is the size i got. The previous size i had was 205/45/17. THe adrenalins grip really well and even if i turn the steering wheel alittle the car will go in that direction straight away they are very responsive tyres (if that makes sence) but the real test will b on the track or drag way :D i cant wait to give them a flogging haha
Thanks mate. I actually found the full UK service manual with a supplement for the EP3 Type R. Will post link when I get home.Quote:
