main problems you might encounter would be positions of the hangers and the length of the axle back. i have a feeling b-pipe would be very similar.
I have a small problem guys, my first and second gears started poping out, it was all good until I did oil change in gear box, stright after that it started happening, oil was changed by my tuner and he put realy good red line oil that should be the best there is for honda, any idea what could i do to fix this???
u answered it urself
problem is obvisouly the oil....
change it back to oem
My tuner recons it's not oil, we've used that oil on my DC2R and S2K and it's been alway good, anyway I'll try changing it back, what if this problem stays, what could it be than??
also i heard that shifter can be adjusted and that it could fix this, anyone heard about this??
happening all the time while driving or only when cold? but yeah as ekhybrid said, ive got no problems with oem oil
not all the time but happens maybe 5-6 times in a day of driving and car is warmed up not cold when it happens, but before it never happened, I'll try changing back to oem and see if it's gonna be ok.
so BNE people. which day of the week is suitable?? weeknights/weekends??Quote:

never leave your keys lying around!!!!!!!! and no body but me is allowed to drive my car period (less getting things done like servicing etc).
cable tie your bar back together haha.
I hate people like that. dunno how to 'drive' a car, and just 'steal' other people's carQuote:

Pulled the frontbar out & screwed it back on tightly. So it looks ok from faraway but yeah theres alot of hairline cracks now. Hopefully it will hold up until I replace it. I have an excuse to get the aero kit now & my friend will be paying half of it.
Was i racing lol? I tend to speed alot in slow traffic. As for the meet, Thursday & Friday nights are ok for me.Quote:

just use some tapes on the bar if needed and tell ppl they're battle scar haha
Size:
16x7 pcd 4x114.3 offset +40
Will they fit on EP3 R?? Any pro's and con's to down size from 17's to 16's??
and is it Legal??
no it wont becos it's only 4 studs (ie 4 x 114.3). u need 5 x 114.3
7 inch wide with +40 offset should fit. i'm not 100% sure 16s will clear the brakes tho.
i guess as long as the rolling diameter is close to stock then it should be ok. you will need to choose higher profile tyres. maybe 205/50/16.

Just a question would you go 16's on your EP3?
thanx for the reply.
makes ur car lower but traction wise i dun think so
I wouldn't go down from the suggested size from the factory.Quote:

i personally wouldn't go lower than 17s.
16s will clear the brakes on EP3s, they are the same as AUDM DC5R brakes. 205/55 16 tyre will work, a 205/50 might not have the required load rating for the EP3.Quote:

stock 205/45/17 only has 84w so the problem would be more speed rating then load rating. (also depends on the compliance type spec)
anyone know how much a set of dc5r brembos will set me back?
i no someone selling a set with project MU rotors and endless pads for 1900, look in the for sale section
heyy, do you guys reckon there will be more facelift models on the market in 1 or 2yrs time?
At the moment, there's mostly 02 and 03 models going for around 25-27k. However for 04 and 05, it's hovering in the early 30k.
I'm hoping to see the 2005 models for mid to late 20ks in a few years time.
^^ By then evryone will be on to the FD2R's :)
buy and old one and change the head lights the kit cost about 1K :)
hehe, if the fd2r do come out that time, that'll be a bonus and hopefully there'll be a fd2 type r thread just like this. But that's highly likely since they already have a FD2 chassis here in Australia.
Well, meanwhile I'm still studying my postgrad in uni and working part-time, it'll take me while to save up enough cash. Therefore I'm hoping there will still be good condition and JDM ep3's around by the time I graduate and work full-time.
I don't want to wait too long and turning out to be all trashed up ep3's on the market, just like the dc2r's.
i think someone has mentioned this b4 but i just want to double check b4 i buy brake rotors and brake pads. Are the ep3 brake pads front and rear and rotors front and rear the same size as the dc5r front and rear ??
unfortunately this is hard to say.Quote:

also most import shops brought in pre FL as the cost is lower and easier to sell. plus the fact that Yen is so high compared to AUD now that not many people are importing cars right now so supply is relatively low.
however it is possible that in a few years FL cars will be worth around mid 20ks as any (mass produced) cars would drop in value. but may be supply/demand would means us owners won't loss too much $$. :cool:
in 5 years, my 05 will be nearly 10yo and i don't expect it to worth $30k. if it has the resale as strong as the DC2R now i'd be pretty happy.
also rear sway bars for ep3 are the same as a dc5 isnt it ??
Anyone here going to WSID this Wed??
spotted a CW EP3 yesterday around 2:30pm at Calams Road.
looks like it has aftermarket white wheels.
buy the facelifted FD civic, it has the FD2 R front bumper and grille. buy the Sport, and you get a K20 in it also. :D just need FD2R rear bumper.Quote:

it come down to Coilover's, Gruppe-M Air Intake,RM-01 Catback!
I'll get all of them later down the track but rite i could only get one of them..
Damn i'll happy anyone of them! So if you guys were in my shoes, what mods you think the EP3R needed most?!!
I'd say intake and cat back!
Coil overs are overated unless you track. No real positives on a street car....IMO!
I definately recommend getting intake first because the stock is so restrictive. You will definately notice change in performance aswell as responseQuote:

hmmm can i drive my car in the pit area ?? i dont wanna leave it outside hehe ill come if i can do that and if a few more of u boys come :)
gruppeM is the way to go, I got it on my car and it's prob the best mod, also have rm-01, works very good combined together with vafc2, I was gonna go for coilovers but gave up on that (no need for them so it would be waste of $$$) I'll try and get some springs, H&R or eibach, should be good for street and some fun on track

I think it's because they see another 'Civic Type R' or simply think they are better.
I find these morons, simply morons. :thumbdwn:
No offence to other fn2r drivers btw. It's the driver not the car.

ep3 vs fn2r
1st and 2nd gear nothing in it but 3rd gear u will see the difference stock vs stock
horse power are pretty similar but FN2R is like 100kg heavier.Quote:

Just sourced some slotted or drilled rotors for the EP. Is anyone interested in getting some so I can bargain a little? Possibly a group buy......anyone?
Haha that reminds when I first got my car, i was happy to finally pick it up. So I was cruising along through traffic all excited & happy & then i stopped at a redlight. On my right was a red fn2, the driver in the fn2 shouted out to me "hey, nice Rice box". At first i thought was he being racist to me. So i said, "hey, nice Spaceship".Quote:

People like that shouldn't be driving type r's in the first place.
its funny these kinda things only happen with FN2R drivers.
other Type Rs drivers would give me the thumbs up.
