17-10-2009, 07:22 PM
Mugen_B16B

i think your refering to the rear one seeing if u got the left and right mounts it prob come as a set of three with the 3rd being the rear mount, its a bitch to get in!!! but all u gotto do is hoist the motor up abit and lean it forward so u can remove the bolts that hold the mount to the bracket, not unbolt the bracket from the frame cause that makes it a hell of alot hard to remove the main bolt from the mount itself

a lil advice, when putting it all back make sure its all aligned straight when screwing back in, i had mine on an angle and it was GG for my bolts, all threaded besides one so i ended up drilling it to fit a bigger bolt in

hope that helps

Would you guys have considered an s2k if it werent for the fact that you needed the extra seats? do any of you plan to move to an s2k after the EP3, or onto turbocharged cars?

What are your future aspirations for car ownership?

Personally, I want to one day own an M3 and hopefully something beyond that but if I do change cars before that, I'd be looking at doing a S2k up or buying an Evo (if I needed to keep things practical).

man i saw a red nsx the other night drift around a set of traffic lights around sunnybank area is brissy, facelift one too!!! omg i jizzed my pants as he vtecd right past me

ive always wanted a R34 GTR v-spec 2 or nur spec, either and im set
19-10-2009, 11:50 PM
Jibz

Yeah I was thinking about a R34, but since its only a placeholder car, its much too expensive for me. i.e. IMO its not $20k better than an Evo 8 MR (and that 20k spent on the Evo 8 MR would do many things).

Question is do you usually carry people like friends and family members?
I came from a s2k stock for stock Ep3 is more fun to drive due to S2k lack in bottom end torque but up high its good. Looks wise s2k AP2 I mean. If you got a deep pocket for the S than yeah its worth it.

I was advised the Australian market can't get in the 380mm Aerotwin. I ordered a 350mm from a supplier which has taken 2 weeks and still hasn't arrived yet.

With our great exchange rate to the US at the moment, I am tempted to get a KiddRacing header (SSR replica) from the states. Has any one here installed SSR or KiddRacing header on EP3?, bit worried that the USDM and JDM EP3 header might be slightly different.

Probably something quieter and more comfortable. The new MeganeSport looks great, maybe new Golf R that is coming out soon. Then theres 135i, maybe Evo but i hate how you can't fold down the seats! and the stupid subwoofer in the boot!
21-10-2009, 11:51 AM
Philip Lee

135 coupe are nice and fast but it's very expensive for such a small car.

Golf R rocks but maybe a little pricy, see how it goes.

and i'd be driving a FD Rx7 right now if it's not a rotary but i guess it's part of its appeal tho...
