was pretty tiring trip with the kids. managed to sneaked off to a Honda dealer for some OEM parts and had a great time doing translation on my iphone app. in the end got most of the bits i wanted but they wouldn't sell me a damn red H key cos i couldn't supply a key code and they won't sell blank key.....

also managed to see a FD2R close up at the dealership but didn't ask for a test drive. never saw a EP3 at all for the whole week and spotted a few FD2R on the street (some CW ones and a black one).

food was awesome, stuff were pretty cheap and i rate Osaka over Tokyo.

If this is the case then its most probably a steering rack issue. Common problem with ep3's. I had mine make a noise which got fixed up at hanny's. Basically all they did was lube up the steering rack to stop the noise. That noise u hearing is only a rubbing noise and is nothing to worry about. I got told by mechanic and read on uk honda type r forums that its not a safety issue and just a annoying noise. Some people in uk actually just drive with it and ignore it. But i hate noises so i got hanny's to fix it. Alot of ep3's in uk had this problem and got their steering rack replaced under warranty only to later on down the track get the same issue again with the new steering rack. If you are good with lubing ;););) and can b bothered all u need to do is pull back the rubber boot on ur steering rack and spray some lube inside. Not sure what lubricant hannys used cause it was done a while ago and i forgot :(

No noise when turning side to side. Thanks for the info. I'll get it looked at when my next service is due at Hanny's

of cos I tried Okonomiyaki. I also tried the crab sets, fuku set and Kobe beef.

The super street is very cheap, close to half of tein rrp but it wasn't fun taking it back with me lol

I just want a spare key. Doesn't matter Honda or not but I tried a few locksmith but none can do it because of the Oem immobilisor.
