I rememebr about the Euro's fitting but can anyone confirm about DC5r one?
yep same part, though got mine from the UK and $$$!...
the actual mirror housing might be ok perry (similar to the euro's), but it's the mirror support/bracket that might need attention.Quote:

There's not much in terms of weight. Mine comes in at 1180 at WSID scales. Dont worry about weight on a street car, just make more power :p
Crusie and track days coming up guys (SYD).......save your $$$
how about Saturday 13th June?.....go for a cruise to some place of interest and then finish it off with dinner at that korean bbq place in parra that Nepolian suggested?..
Show of hands...

What do you think!!
Also, Im thinking of selling my 3 inch stainless barrel muffler. Bolts on to the stock mid pipe. It has a 4.5 inch outlet.
Pm if interested!

Rob, if you only split the oil and the rubber up top is ok, just clean it out and sikaflex it.Quote:

apon buying them from JDM yard, yonas also advised me that they are the same as a dc5r ( for future reference) so i got home and opened the box to an awsome glow of polished alloy mounts. once installed (took about 2 hours for all 3) the car was better then stock to drive, it was a much tighter feel between shifts, less pedal used to accelerate and just a nicer drive all round
although the downside being at idol the vibration is more than the stock mounts but you can live with it
in short, buy some :)
who did you get to do the install?
that was fast, you got it install already just a few days ago you were looking for mounts and you up and running.Quote:

i wouldnt say i drive hard all the time, the little vtec here and there to get out of traffic, but my car has about 60k on the clock so its prob older then the rest of yours,
did the install by myself (piss easy) and bought them from jdm yard for $670, so all up it was good :)
mine has 60K on the clock aswell. lol
yeh my nearly on 70k still nothing and have spoon engine damper for months now.Quote:

when i bought the car it was already leaking so it was a matter of time b4 it broke, second set was from a jdm dc5r but when i got them the hydrolic one wasnt in the best condition, the rubber looked abit dry and crackly but wasnt leaking, that lasted me 3 months with occansional spirited drivingQuote:

Glad that you are happy with it :thumbsup:Quote:

it is possibly the best positioned stock shifter ever made, the whole idea is getting the shifter closer to the wheel so its faster to reach from your steering sheel whilst still having a short throw, i love it and after u drive it for a day, so will u :)Quote:

ive been driving for a few months now and once i drive someone elses car i tend to go up there to shift vice versia! lols its funny as

little do they know how good it is :)
i like the shift position too. it's great for shifting and freed up tons of storage space.
only down side is u can't (accidently) touch the leg of the lady in the front seat hahahahaha
good call....LOL!!!!
but on the flipside, when my fiance is driving and i make s stupid comment or anger her, she has an open shot to the go nads!!!
yes u can, shift hard from 1st to second and accidently make ur hand slip onto her lap :pQuote:

i need to know this as well :p
Yes they are. DC5/EP3/S2K have the same brake pads.
hey btw, i seen a EP3 on thursday night i think it was in the parklea/stanhope area about 930 10 pm on sunnyholt road
anyone here?
for the record, EP3 and AUDM DC5 use same brake pads, JDM DC5R with brembo is different.Quote:

I have had many different import performance cars and this is one of the best ones to drive. Except for maybe the JZA80, that wasn't too bad!
at least u got room in the front for the lady to get over lol
maybe me. i was there there a couple of times that time and I think i saw you aswell!Quote:

Another suggestion, drive towards Bradley's Head or Manly beach.
im down with that date
just a quick question that might sound noob, but is there any difference between the stock HID's and aftermarket HID's?
and also if i want to go whiter, would i have to change the whole bulb set?
how do you know if you got HID's?
OEM HID and aftermarket HID are diff. the balast is more intergrated for the OEM and the bulb is diff.Quote:
Originally Posted by icecrm

man you can't tell if u have HID? the lights emit by both are very different. maybe take a pic and post up.
i want it to be more white
hehehe
when you say change the bulb, do i just buy, for example plain old white bulb from your local autobarn?? or does it have to be something special
?
