shoot me some pm if u guys want this circuit brake pad for ur track day!!!!:wave::wave:
ITRDC2 always with the EP3 goodies :)
How do you EP3 folks find about the interior space? Is it big enough for a family of 4 with luggages?
(Sorry if this question has been asked before, because I have spent 2 days going through all EP3 posts, I am up to like 220th page, though might as well just bite the bullet and ask the question)
how big is your luggages? definately will fit with luggages. :thumbsup:Quote:

EP3R's are really spacy! Should be able to fit luggages with ease! :)
hey guys does anyone know the size of our speakers?
6" would fit right? for the front and rear
yeah...I'm actually surprised by how much space its got at the back when i first saw it.... I can actually fit 2 well grown adults in the back seats comfortably....and when i say 2 well grown adults...i mean WELL grown adults :p....Quote:

ha. ha. ha.
Finally picked up my EP3 a month after it was complied, due to our friends at the RTA!!!
OMG.. It was soooo worth the wait!!!
They will fit but some cutting will b needed in the front as the door fame is 2 small.Quote:

Hey guys, I just checked my engine oil level out of curiosity and the oil level (after multiple readings coz I was like wtf?!) was at the very bottom of the dipstick! I topped it up with my remaining one litre of oil, but the oil level is still slightly below the 'minimum' marking on the dipstick so I'll need to buy more, soon.
What engine oils do you guys use and have you PERSONALLY got any opinions on the performance of any of the brands?
I'm currently using OEM Honda Performance Oil, 10W-30.
PS, its only been a month and a bit since I had the oil changed! (did about ~4000km )
oh really?? is it alot of cutting do you know?Quote:

6" alpine type r speakers

for $100 so yeah
i think with the alpines you'll be fine as the magnet isn't massive like the focal range ....Quote:

i my self had to cut to fit my boston accoutics 6 inch in
ohhh icic thanks for the info guys so i gotta take off the whole door trim to get to the speakers yeah? and the rears just the rear interior? what a hassle... =/
Yeah I might do the same and change my speakers since I'm looking at taking the interior apart n putting it back together 2 see if I can stop vibration. Grrr I'm not looking forward at all
I put my rockfords in without any hassle, it fitted straight in. And yeah you have to take off the whole door trim to install speakers. It's a bugger.Quote:
Originally Posted by KaZe86

stock are great, gathers makes quality stock speakers, if u wanna change the speakers get an amp aswell or dont bother, i changed my fronts and they sound like shit compared to stock so i put back the stock ones, plus when u guys remove the door trim, make sure to take the handle cover off properly cause the clips break easily and the rear are pretty simple, just a cover and ur done
Yeh definatly need 2 run an amp. The head unit is not powerful enough. I amped mine up and it made a massive differenceQuote:

Me too :) Amp does make a big difference.
noone has any comments on engine oil that they use?
I rekon either Castrol 5W30 or Royal Purple 5W30 would be a good choice, but personaly I'd take the Castrol 5W30.:DQuote:
Originally Posted by Jibz

edge ftw
Does anyone have tweeters mounted? I want to mount some tweeters but don't want to ruin the plastics, any ideas?
anyone parked in near mounties last night? with euro plates?
You can get covers with tweeter holes....Quote:

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 :(
ill check it out when i have a chance thats what i thought it would be also i was in a rush to go to work and just put it back onQuote:

its something about the steering boot not being greased up enough.. has happened to me a few times.. WD-40 will fix it temporarily though?Quote:

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.
Ep3's are old to them now i guess, glad u had a fun time :thumbsup:Quote:

thats the problem...i dont think they can transfer the signal from ur immo into the key since the keys dont mean to make for fl ep3s...but u can try to ask the lock ppl,cuz since mine is 02 model and dont even have immo, so its pretty much plug and play, just that i cant get the fob functioned thats all, cuz i have a factory remote, so i will just keep using it, but cuz i really need the fob to sit in the key cuz without that there will be a few holes there lol
p.s: check where ur key chip is, whether its inside the key or its in ur remote, if in the remote, u should be fine i think
yeah, without the right coded key, my car won't start. that's why i want to get the geninue Honda key from Japan.
or get rape by the local honda dealer when they sell me a new key and recode the whole car.
i dont think they will recode ur car as honda dont touch import cars thats what i heard, and ur ecu is apparently jdm, so yeah...but still, u can try luck, if the key chip is in ur remote, i bet it will work
Hey guys,
Ill post up some pics of my car soon, everytime i wash it Sydneys Great weather makes it dirty again.
Also ITR do you still have that mugen front grille?
Its the Fl frnot grill yeah? let me know how much modification you need to do to fit it to the PFL bar if you do ended up buying it thanks?Quote:

i paid $99 or $90 includes laser cutting, coding and the key itself
i have called other places and it ranged from 120-150
some were just generic keys also
when they code your key they'll have to recode your actual key again

do you want a genuine honda key? or happy with the generic ones that look similar? most master locksmiths should be able to do it. and they just need the key.
