The plastic splash guard are usually removed!

I'm not a believer of rolling guards for the simple reason that you can always select the correct wheel/tyres for the car.

I stand my statement......cause if want a car like ours and is worried about fuel consumption and tyre wear etc......

You probably bought the wrong car!

Phil! You can sit the front wheel pretty close to the guards (less than 1 finger gap). I have 17x7.5 +30 with 1.2 deg camber and it doesn't rub!

Supersteve....you've seen it!

My ep3 has been making some sort of rattling noise for the past week or two.
i tried to listen to where the sound was coming from and it seemed like from under the car where the headers sit. so i jacked up the car and the sound was stronger ontop, then underneath. The sound is coming from the pulley area, where on the chain there are brown marks, i'm assuming it is the water pump leaking. Has anyone had this problem? How can i fix this??

thanks guys :)

Nah no stains underneath the bonnet, just on the inside part of the chain.. (not sure if its normal)

check ur driver side engine mount for cracks. I think ur engine mount has cracked and the liquid has squirt out. Just a thought i could b 99.99% wrong (NOTE: i mostly fail in life)

AHAHAHA I agree. Most likely your mounts but I might be wrong aswell. LOL, I had to replace that mount already cos it cracked.
28-10-2009, 08:42 PM
mtonep3

I don't think its the engine mount, as the engine doesnt really rock, the engine still feels like its in a very stable position when revving... And it looks like its still in good con. no leaking whatso ever

hey all, somebody summon me?...hehe...here is that website I was talking about.
EP3 brothers enjoy!..hehe

www.supergt.com.hk -->select Engrish (if you can't read chinese) and you're all good. :cool:

I spoke to these guys when I was there and they seem very helpful. They sell both OEM and aftermarket and ship items to Australia regularly.

They suggested that if we wish to buy stuff from them, best to try group buy and package into a cubic crate. 1 cubic crate ~=$230AUD.

Not sure bout the air intake but it is alot cheaper than injen or any others out on the market. As for the window, when it is all the way up hold the button down for 2 seconds when fully open then again when it is fully up this worked 4 mine. Hope that helps.

Yeah, those are just the OEM shadow chrome pre FL headlights.

They will plug straight in to a pre FL car. The FL lights will need additional installation steps because the wiring was changed during the facelift so you wouldn't have a high beam without redoing the circuit!

A few ppl have pwjdm cf intake. I thought about one but I wasn't too keen on the smaller battery.

There are mixed feedback on whether it's good performance wise but I guess I'd let the ppl who have this to comment.

Yes.. There are brown marks now appearing under the hood. So took my car to mechanic today and he said most likely be able to get my new water pump and replaced on Wednesday.. Looks like I can't go winton on Tuesday(melboure cup day!!)

Is it advicable that I don't vtec my car to hard, until replaced? Since there are leaks does that mean it's easier to dry up? Do I need to keep checking there's enough water in it?

Sorry bout the questions, pretty noob..:)

i didnt think it would of been the water pump, if it was ur water pump then u would get overheating and lose alot more coolant but i guess we'll see how it goes aye

Hmm.. My mechanic said it was definitly the water pump.. The engine mount looks fine.. But we will see what happens once I get the new water pump.

dude, you should have checked the package to see if it fits before you sprayed it. You need to be aware that all replica parts for any car may not be 100% fit or fit at all, so best to check beforehand. :)

Just check where it does not fit and maybe get the painter to cut or modify it a bit to fit, if it's for prefacelift.

Btw, is that a small autobot badge you have on back of your car there?...that's cool!...You should see mine...LOL... :D
