Spoon springs forsale
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
^^ why are you selling??
are they any good? ride harsh??? how much drop???
u ran stock shocks with them??
cheers
ill take a look at the k's and condition and go from there, not a fan of drive by wire... dont like the lag or the "detachment" from the car, if it was for family or cruise around in then thats fine but for spirited driving and track etc wouldnt go near it, couple of my mates have it (XR8, New WRX) and just dont like it...Quote:

3. cut your ep3's key,yeah i know no one want to cut their original key but cuz i got some extra aftermarket made keys for my car so i just cut those not original key, and then cut into the right size to fit into that aftermarket key case which the uncut key already been removed.
4. use the right glue to glue it up with the type-r front case, because there must be some gap in between due to the ep3 keys are thinner so i used hot gum with the gun to apply those glue into the gap.
5. after i glue the one side after make sure the key position has been fixed, then i used super glue to glue that type-r case together. Done!!!
6. some work might need cuz the aftermarket back case is not match the genuine type-r case very well so i think we can use the model puddy to fill in any gap, also be aware there are some holes for the factory remote on the aftermarket back case, so some sticker might be needed to cover the gap,good luck guys who want to do this job cheers!:)
any pics of how u did it?
sorry no pics...........i didnt take
haha dodgy but does the trick. very original!!!
congrats on the car!!Quote:

Called the importer up again yesterday to see if he found anything cheaper. He has been talking to some windscreen guy and they are going to b bringing over from japan aftermarket windscreens for our ep3's because they are aware of our model car. HELLLL YEAHHH ! ! only downside though is its going to b a couple of months b4 this all happens so i have to hang out till then. The price he told me they are looking at for windscreen and fit is 750 which would b farken heaps better then paying 2600 - 2800.
You are the man!!!!!Quote:

Yeap. But ill get more information when the windscreens are actually here. Like who is selling it etc. Not sure what will happen. These people might bring in the aftermarket windscreens and give them to windscreen suppliers mayb ? Not entirely sure but we will wait and see heheQuote:

my mate just bid and won a EP3 in Japan and he is going to ship it over in a container. maybe we can arrange something. if u know supplier in japan etc (preferably around Osaka/Kobe) then maybe we can get some over and get some windscreen guys to measured up so they can be made locally etc etc.
bid and won an EP3? wow..lucky strike!Quote:

Hey Phillip why is he sending it in a container? Instead of just a car carrier....can we all chuck stuff into the container :pQuote:

Anyone willing to share that information?
Also I don't know if this is appropriate (mods feel free to remove if it is) but I'd also like to share that there is a Black EP3 listed on Carsales in NSW at the moment for $29k was only recently sold in Melbourne for $22k with a RWC (It is now listed without one)
Buyer Beware as this sold in Melbourne about one month ago.
I'm looking at it right now & funny how he mentions "Civic EP3 Type R only 1 in australia thats black"Quote:

in a way what was lost on AUD value has been offset by cheaper price in Japan.
if u are considering importing, speak with IMG as many people here have good experience with them.
u'll need to factor another AUD$1-2k on top of the final auction price to become FOB price. then another 10-12k for shipping, duty/GST, compliance etc.
yups i know exactly which one ur talking about, that black one has been for sale 3 times in a 6 months period. It was the worst example of an EP3 i have ever seen in my life. The rear lights were cracked, Centrecaps are missing holes in the dash from gauges, it was an ex Track car in japan, Rocket cover turned into silver. The list goes on.. It was a grade 3 import from japan..=)
Personally I wouldnt recommend it. It is probably cheaper buying one here for $28k and much less hassle.Quote:

sorry man, didn't mean to offend :( just that black one is certainly a bad example of an EP3. And the seller as said previously sounds strange. Sorry again! :(
Yours has definitely got some nice mods
bradb16a...nice EP3 you got there!!!
26k for your mugen look/style(dosent come cheap) is a steal, everyone know how much you love/spent and look after the car.
if i still got havent got a ep3 r, i'll grab it of you rite now, yeh i do like the white color more, but bradb16a car will beat that simple point, 3 words "bang of the bucks"!
and i can be even more rare, haha the jdm ep3 is rare euff.
good on the sale mate!!!
hey guys just wondering what do "YOU" guys redline the ep3 to?
Steve.
Just generally speaking, not all people want a white car, Type R or no Type R. I went out of my way to look for a black one...a while back now.
To be honest.....Brads EP3 is a steal at the price. Just wait until you noobs here start spending $$ on the car and you realise that you've spent $5K and have little to show!
Oh so Brads car is the one thats for sale on carsales? Im getting confused why we all of a sudden talking about brads car? unless they are the same one
hrmmzzz
bradb16a??
yeah is his car the one thats for sale?

hey EP3EVA how is your Skunk2 exhaust? :D
i agree with u there nepolian

put on mugen stuff which includes
-intake
-bonnet
-lip
-grille
-wheels
and the list goes on when u could just buy brads black ep3? and save an arm and a leg

How many black EP3's were made(imported) in JAPAN? apparently the white ones are the rarest cause they only came out in japan whilst GB got every colour but white...and no offence to brad cause the car looks awsome, but the black makes it look like a 2 door jazz, just dosnt have the same "phatness" to it :)
in Japan, white ones are the most popular (by quite some margin) followed by black and red. silver is only available on C package and since most JDM EP3s are C package, silver is actually more popular than red.
if you count all the EP3s around the world, i guess white would be rare cos it was only available in Japan and EP3s weren't selling like hotcakes there.
Does anyone know of a white ep3 for sale with work kai Cr and spoon calipers and other J's racing gear?
the 1 on carsales ?? Ive seen the car around my area quiet a few times. Looks really niceQuote:
