Just an update for you all, I used this method here to short some PINs of the OBD2 port to get the lights to blink on the ECL. The lights blinked '41' meaning the error message given was DTC P0134: A/F (Sensor 1) No Activity Detected.Quote:

I hear Honda sells it for $500 genuine and that's nuts.
Cheers.
There was a few people selling them in the 4sale posts not so long ago. Have a look :)
Cool bananas. Sent some PM's just then. Thanks Neo :)Quote:

not for me...i just feel the tapping under the foot and that's about it...like philip said it's probably because of your discs / padsQuote:

replaced the discs and it was fine, still a bit of shuddering but that was due to crappy buckled rims

I have the same thing aswell. Most likely pads/disc.
Hi guys, I am in the process in organising a deal for discs and pads as soon as next week! Keep your eyes peeled :)

That would be me! I had dropped my gf off minutes before and was heading home before she called to tell me her wallet was in the car, so I backtracked and dropped it off, and turned onto Princes Hwy for the second time in 15 minutes.Quote:

Do you live nearby? I'm in Caulfield. We should go wash our cars once the weather clears up, I have some badges waiting to go on the car and would like to find someone elses so I can line them up properly :P
i must try this today lolQuote:

noob Q's, how can you tell it has Launch Control or not?Quote:

i mean how do you prove it has Launch Control? maybe your friend is a good a Launcher?
When you floor it, it doesn't go above 5500rpm when stationary. Type in launch control on youtube and it will give you a clue of what it is. My mate didn't launch it, he just showed me it so I tried it in his car.Quote:

here a link about EP3's Launch Control:
http://www.type-r-owners.co.uk/forum...ad.php?t=60388
lols... its not a launch control as everyone is saying well most of yous just a safety feature...
pretty sure dc5rs have this aswell
sorry a noob Q's, do having rev limiter at under 6k is a launch control thing??
Thx bro:thumbsup: I'm gonna get one now...hehehehee..Quote:

I live up in Hawthorn, just got back from my mate's shop yesterday :D
yeah, I usually wash in the city up in spencer st. I'll let u know :D
Hey guys,
looking to pick one of these up soon, excited.
i have very little knowledge of hondas and vtecs, and cant find a friend that does either, would you recommend a stateroads inspection, honda dealership inspection or something else?
Thanks.
i'm also in the market for an CW EP3R in sydney!
done heaps of research too haha i really really want it!
if you guys are in Sydney,.... should take Nepolian for inspection he know shit load about EP3's:cool:Quote:

Badges were removed by the previous owner in Japan unfortunately. It's cost me 250ish to get a full set of new ones, not including the red Honda badges. I'll be putting them on after a car wash. Maybe tonight. The front Type R badge won't be able to be put on yet because I dont have the push nuts to secure it from behind. Hopefully will be able to get them from Honda here. (Or some hardware store).
I got my ep3 inspected by state roads. They were very good. They picked up a few things which my importer fixed up for me :)
OR
You can ask Nepolian nicely to inspect a ep3 for you and shout him a romantic dinner afterwards he would love that :D:D
hahaha im down to take anybody out for a romantic dinner if they could find me a clean immac EP3 for real cheap haha, find me a facelifted one and ill pick you up at 8 ;) hahaha
Buy my one it's costing me $700 a month to sit in the shed .. it has all the bits you want or need... anyone on the forum i will give $500 CASH that find a buy for my car....Quote:

IMG's selling a 2002 CW EP3 for $25,900 - almost seems as if prices haven't moved at all in the past 1 1/2 years....honestly i haven't seen any FL EP3s getting sold since the great GFC...so i wouldn't get my hopes up at finding a 'cheap' one...
David @ AAI sold his earlier this year and it was sold real quick at a good price (for the seller LOL) so good luck to anyone who wanna find a FL cheap.Quote:

on another note, does anyone have a front right EP3 shock i can buy of them? mine has a bit of play in it. PM me if you do need it asap
had a go with one yesterday but he denied that the ep3 was quicker lolQuote:

ive only just started learning about v-tech engagement point & stuff thats why i was wondering, becuase someone told me that i apparently drive the fastest honda under the N series or something like that so i was just wonderingQuote:

can look after u on prices and stuff :thumbsup:
S2000 and EP3 are both designed for different purposes. even tho they both were born for track use, S2k is also more of an high class/elite roadster. so tuning and engine will be different.Quote:

oh, BTW its spelled as VTEC, not V-tech (just for an input):thumbsup:
Thanks I think I'll stick with stateroads, for us to have a romantic dinner I will have to fly him interstate :pQuote:

^ i must add though, MzS200 the s2k might not be the FASTEST thing on the road (although they do pack a punch) its got the highest power output per litre of a production engine in a car <$100,000, so maybe thats what your friends mean?
but as we all know from experience, power doesn't necessarily = speed, especially on the roads.
Thankyou for the input guys, basically all i want to know is if im at a set of traffic lights and one of these EP3 civics pulls up next to me am i going to win if we start "Jumping on it" as a few people i know like to say?Quote:

(I know it's a bit of a longshot to know this off the top of your head!)
Thanks.

Really depends on the driver, if its 2 good drivers the s2000 will take off better as its a rear wheel drive and traction for a better take off will be better, but saying that the ep3 takes off very well if you know how to do it and the short gear ratios help it get to where you want to be very fast. if your worried just dont dump the clutch on take off "ride" it abit so it dosnt bog down and you shouldnt have any troubles... and never fill your tank more than half, and leave the rear tyre pressures 5lb lower than the front in the wet :)Quote:

Is there any noticable gain or benefit from this?
theory is the stiffer it is the more responsive the car is, should make a bit of improvement but depends on what other mods as well (lower springs/coilovers) more of show thing IMO
I've got one! Makes absolutely no difference imo! But it loks good and fills a little space under the car.......expensive one at that!Quote:

I'm 19, and my original plan for insuring under my dads name, but just cars doesnt not cover anyone younger then the person who has insured the vehicle.
Does this sound right?? Can i get cheaper from any other companies?? What are you guys paying??

im 23 paying 900??? just cars aswell:S how come urs is more?

Premiums are not only based on age but also on where you live......so I'd say Brissy and Melb or anywhere else for that matter will change based on that. Obviously there will also be other considerations, such as amount driven, age of drivers, security etc........
Does anyone know the price of a genuine TYPER badge for the rear???
P.s i love my new car :D
yeah i was driving through cabra i saw like 3 haha 2 x CW and one black hahaQuote:
