I'm pretty sure you have oem and yes you'll need special HID globes. Contact a seller of HIDs from the trader section, they do sell globes only...:)
awesome ! so when 1 of my lights dont work it is as simple as getting new hid bulbs ??
I'd say so. Size it up and buy it!Quote:

Definately better then the stock rubbers. Really grippy and also has a nice finish. The stock pedals look ugly and just didnt go with the car. Im happy i paid 160 for them. I wouldn't pay 300 which i think some people are selling them for. 300 bucks could go towards something else e.g performance modQuote:

A question for all you ep3r owners. What is the handling of these cars like with the stock suspension? Would like to hear your thoughts
Hey Steve, did u get a PM from the dude about the window I sent him a PM but no reply?
well they type R is designed as a car u can drive on the street during the week and on the weekend take it straight onto a track with no problem. although it has to compensate for both road (bumpy) and track (smooth) the springs are quite firm for the track yet drives comfortably on the street.Quote:

the sussy is a bit too bumpy for my liking for street use but it surely handles well.
never tracked the car so i don't know.
for my case, i fail to see the reason to get coilovers other than look.
I bought my car with coils so cant comment much but I did test drive Dianne's facelift ep3 which was pretty good on Sydney roads except for certain parts of Hume highway.. If your planning to lower the Ep3 be warned your b-pipe will cop alot.
mines lowered on skunks and i have no probs, tyres are at the guards
haha if is too bumpy already than you must stay away from coilovers 4ever:pQuote:

I thought i might share this website for all u ep3 lovers :p
In respects to being stock, they are very good. Being a Type R, you'd expect it to be on the firm side.Quote:

Initial impression though, is that it might be too stiff for my liking on street whereas the stock suspension felt spot on from my short time with it.
That said, both of my impressions were done on different quality tarmac so its not exactly an apples to apples comparison (in addition to the fact I didn't spend much more than 15 minutes with either car yet).
that's the plan ;)Quote:

yeah, for some reason, the B-pipe on mine (the section just before the muffler) seems to be a bigger diameter and hangs low cos of the size.Quote:

i email to the seller from the web directly cuz they dont have in the catalog, but cuz they can order anything from the brand SEIBON which makes the hood for ep3, so thats how they can order and heard they are using Fedex cuz they have special price even cheaper than shipped in container.
Well that explains slot cause I do have a busted engine mount. Waitin for the dealer to get the part in still!! Wat time is the meet up?
might aswell go get some aftermarket, alot of people find it much better though there might be abit more vibration but hey, more power to the ground lol
also make sure to change ur gb oil regularly and u should be sweet
i put my Fuji rm01a myself but notice abit of vibration so just took it to carline and they fix that for me
im having that same problem with 2nd gear, change the oil, still notchy at high revs.
Hanny's think its the clutch
ohh man my 2nd gear is hard to get into when its cold though thought it might be my gearbox oil.Quote:

has any got lower arm brace's Front or Rear? dose it make any diff??
im looking at the carbing 6 point front lower arm brace!
