also i think this may have been mentioned before but anyone have any opinions of the kiddracing header from the usa?
got my O2 sensor installed today, worked fine (Denso #234-9004, about $170 AUD from ebay), no more crappy engine light :D
yeah thats true when you think about it. how can that shit even be legal?!
George, I do understand where you’re coming from,
But to be frank, I think your argument about the weight is flawed.
Rather than look at just the actual weight loss in the flywheel itself.
Look at the inertia of the thing & where it is in relation to the engine & wheels.
The inertia of the flywheel is something the engine must overcome before it does anything else.
Any reduction in flywheel inertia (weight) is multiplied through the gearbox. Hence the effect being greater in lower gears
Now speaking from experience, I can tell you that will notice the difference in an EP3.
Using one of our flywheels, the difference is a positive change in the character of the car without negative side effect.
What should also be mentioned is that on standard cars, flywheels like ours can’t cause situations such as described by Philip Lee.
Problems as described generally only arise when lightweight flywheels & other engine parts are combined with incorrectly set overrun fuel cut, TPS & poor tuning.
But then again, Mr Lee isn’t talking about an EP3 either, rather lightweight flywheels in general.
Anyway, before you all go off the deep end…
Please… Look at it realistically…
The EP3 is very similar to the DC5 & even the CL9 in the driver train.
Is the EP3 really so special that a flywheel & clutch that works like a charm in the DC5 & CL9, is just so mismatched to the EP3?
Bare in mind the benefit in the other cars is widely known & without drivability issues.
& just to question your manhood…
My wife drove a DC5 Type S for a number of years with a lightweight flywheel, in heavy traffic everyday without any of the issues described.
Weird huh…
Cheers

He was driving an older model Jeep Jerokee....Typical....He got annoyed cause i was slowing for the light, like any GOOD driver should....Trying to keep ep3's in the good books remember :)....Oh well... Shit happens.
Personally I think that is a bad move. Honda's don't like non-genuine parts. I wouldn't be surprised if it came back.
wow and Twest that is rediculous. I still don't understand under any circumstance why he would reverse, what a lunatic. My heat goes out to the front of your EP3
Damn twest that really sucks. Poor ep3!!
Seems the guy is a utter dumb shit to me!!
Adrian, I was talking my experience with my car which is a facelift EP3 with factory flywheel.
In performance terms I absoluetly agree with you. But as a daily car (I dun track unfortunately) it is more of a hassles. I think up to a stage it maybe too light for road use. It is always a compromise between comfort and performance.
Damn twest this absolutely suck.
I start to think it's about time to invest in a set of camera now.
guys thinking of swapping out my mugen airbox for an aem one, any chance of it throwing a CEL and if so, what will happen?
Also, anyone interested in the mugen, pm me
Just wondering...has everyone kept their original head unit when we bought the car?
I have always thought that Sard makes their own injectors cuz for Evos, Tomei injectors (made by Denso) requires a specific wiring plug but Sard bolts staight on. I am not 100% sure though,
Hey guys need help with wiper size again all I remembered passenger side is 380mm what is the driver side?
^ what did people end up getting for wipers? I need some soonish too. Cheers
I would recommand Bosch wiper blades. Just go to any Supercheap Auto bring your wipers with you, they will have a ruler on the back of each Bosch wipers' packaging, or they also have the fitment charts in the shop.
just put a burned cd in and see.
Thanks for that. :thumbsup:
P.S. How much you rekon the original wheels worth?
Mine plays wma and mp3. Its a gathers brand that came with the car.
That's not cheap for factory wheels...
the wheels are Enkei
Stock wheels are always over priced might as well use the money and get aftermarket ones.
The wiper blades. I can't remember the brand and it is not stamped on the arm wither. But they were from SUpercheap Auto and were around $40 each.
Yea guys, absolutely gutted i am about my ep3....The thing thats killing me the most is the mugen lip has a small crack where it joins onto the original bumper...im fairly certain fibreglasser could patch it up though....hoping...
Next time you see any morons on the road, simply pull your ep3's over to the side and let them pass to avoid heartbreak...
The size of the wipers are. 15" 375mm
24" 600mm

Hey guys, shopping around for some tyres as mine are about gone (so long RE01R's :()
I've got the tyres on my stock rims atm (205/45/17) and I'm looking to replace them with RE001's.
Apparently the 205/45/17 size is more expensive than 215/45/17's which are more widely available. Are there any disadvantages to this in terms of performance or will it only affect the looks? I do like the look of the low profile on the RE01R's. I am only looking to replace the two front tyres. Is there going to be an issue if one if the front is 215/45/17 and the backs are 205/45/17?
The Bridgestone select stores around my local area (Fairfield/Liverpool) are quoting me $290 for 205/45/17 and $260 for 215/45/17. Anyone know if you can source RE001's for cheaper than this price?
Cheers.
thanks george
^ if u like the FL front bar, might take this opportunately to get one....
