Cool Cool my misses was looking into a Gti Golf or even a R32 before the Ep3 but the price is just too $$$ at the moment
your gf got a FL right? price for a used GTI starts from high 20s so it's similar to the FL EP3.
i like both so i got both haha.
Nah it was pre-FLQuote:

Then, finally you need to unscrew/remove the two plastic clips on the bottom of the hatch (you will see them as you lift the hatch door up) and then yank that plastic cover off.
Once that is all done, you can see the two parker light leads and it just takes a matter of patience and time to reach in and twist the rear parker housing out to change the parker lights. :)
Does that make sense?..hehe...otherwise PM me for further details. :cool:

hey guys, just about to order my new mounts, does it matter if there steel or billet? these are my 2 options atm and bushings still the same color and specs but just different material
i just want to no if the steel will make the drive feel more soft compared to the billet
Was just curious, no biggie.Quote:

i 4got who got the mugen ones on here, i think it was steve but how do they feel compared to stock?
I know most ppl with Mugen Mounts said there aint much difference or it feels stiffer than stock. I just ordered Hasport mounts. What are you ordering?Quote:

its like 150 cheaper then hasports and does the same, both dont come with front mounts anyway
has anyone changed the number plate holder lights, and if so how?
With great difficulty. You've gotta take off the whole rear plastic cover to get to it. Try not to break the plastic clips. I think I broke 1 or 2 on doing it.Quote:

-take off the top plastic part from the top rear brake light x 4 white tabs
-then the left one x 2 or 3 tabs
-then the right one x 2 or 3 tabs
-unscrew the screw in the inside handle to pull down the boot
-unplug the 2 tabs from the bottom of the boot then rip off the whole thing x 6 or 8 tabs
it will be very hard to rip off the plastic parts dont be scared just rip them off i did break about 4 or 5 tabs i think lol but yeah and also some other clips but had to be done i think lol
and that should be it un twist it and bam
hope that helps

Gavin the dealer was a real nice guy and plesant to deal with, although seeing the 5 r35 gtr's there did sway me from the ep3 :p
hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone knows the colour code for OURS white EP3? i just made a couple of scratches last nite when parking. (careless mistake) damn !!!
it's championship white...the same as the other Type Rs...you should be able to get a bottle of touch up paint from your local Honda dealer...
otherwise i've got my bottle of touch up somewhere...which check it tonight and get the exact code if you really want...
NH0 – championship white
Steven's the best name!! lol :thumbsup:

i'm with Shannons. paying around $850 (Brisbane).
I had a look at a couple of EP3s this morning at edward lee's, shame they aren't in good condition... All 3 had their stereo's changed to ones that clearly didn't fit perfectly in the pocket.. :thumbdwn:
theyre in bad condition just because stereos dont fit properly? LOLQuote:

i guess do a test fit to be safe.
This place on parra rd where im getting mine from has 3 EP3's 2 jdm and 1 GBDM all are in great condition, the other jdm ep3 is going for 25k... or buy a plain ticket and but the one in melbourne for 24k :)Quote:
