here's a challenge boys.
anyone who has done their speakers know the size and mounting depth of the front speakers. (i'm guessing 6" for size, nfi with depth)
Yeh 6" is fine for size but u gotta cut the door as the standard hole isn't big enough.Quote:

I rekkn $1699 is very cheap considering they were over the AU$2000 mark not fitted a little while ago
Yeah would have thought 6.5" fit.
More worried about depth but.
Would like normal size mid bass fit eg. 3-4inch depth?
Or should I be getting slim fit speakers?
Thanks a lot guys !
I got alpine type r's in my front doors which r pretty deep so there shuld b no need 4 the slim fit speakersQuote:

well i just did a little bit of comparison and the type r's are relatively shallow at 59mm.
the speakers i'm looking at are around 3inch (77mm) you rkn i'll have problems.
Ideally, I'd want to avoid cutting a new speaker position
cheers again :)
Either way there will b cuttin needed. Mayb make up pods from mdf. That shuld give u a little more clearance.Quote:

don't want to buy a set of speakers from o/s then realize they don't fit haha
thanks for your help mate
yeah just get a spacer to lift the speaker out a little.

^ but 9 owners tho.
What parts are you after if your after second hand parts buy Option Magazine I think that's what's called from the local newsagency than search from there. If your after new parts there will be a few weeks wait depending on the shop. Try Mong Kok shops but most of them have moved.Quote:

i heard most of the good car shops are quite far away, and need to drive to get there...
also option fans magazine - i cant read chinese =[
Veilside Rx7 = Top Racing I thinkQuote:

as long as the item is not over 1000 aud, u wont be charged anythingQuote:

well thats what im thinking of getting is the mono flex shipped over but im weighing up my options and 1 of them is getting it shipped. I think they will charge me cause its definately way over 1000 audQuote:

yeah i can try that but if u get caught i heard u get into troubleQuote:
Originally Posted by ITRDC2

how about sending them seperatly would that work?
yup i think so. but gonna cost a bit more for shipping cost
i think i'm the first jdm ep3r in australia....
without the comfort package.
pic or did not happen lol.Quote:

i think he paid extra for air con
-no power windows
-no central locking
-no rear wiper
-no cargo shelf (lucky i bought on lol)
-no hids
-rear side windows are same tint as front
i already knew about no power windows b4 i bought it but when i checked the car out yesterday i realized it was a non-cp and i was :o
wait let me see if i can find photos of it in japan
option fans doesnt advertise second hand parts...Quote:

- the gold old 'wind me down' windows :)
-no wipers
tbh i don't think it's that big of a deal, the only deal breaker (no central locking) is getting fixed via alarm (including adding central locking)
So I was right ehehheQuote:

HEy Pair08 I'm starting to like the look of your ep3 wiperless.
that one was a weekly thing right? i can't find any info about it. is it still being issued?Quote:

pair08, your car is super clean. can't wait to see more pic of your car.
btw my car was registered at Kobe/Himeji too.
dam thats clean, just think of it as a n1 spec LOL weight reduction
I couldnt find any while I was there but than again I wasn't really looking that hard.Quote:

i'll do take more pics after its rego'd and i give it a clean.
the car is so fkn dirty right now.
on the trip down from brissy (it was put on truck) it collected 20 like flys on the grille (the previous owner replaced it with metal wire, looks so bad lol)
Honda offered c package becos ppl have gone soft and looking at the sales figure they were right lol
and I dun think dc5 had the strip down version like the ep3 non C.
all i goto say is dam ep3 wheels r heavy LOL thats without tyres to
If you want to let them go cheap let me know Mugen B16B?
no worries perry ill let u no but depends on the buyers if they want stock or dc5r wheels
Cheers dude why is everyone selling up all of a sudden? *sigh*Quote:

Would love to won a Sti over a Evo for some reason.Quote:

i feel the same way. No offence though steve they are still a very nice car heheQuote:

Realiability wise NA cars are the best especially hondas. =)
I've owned and driven almost every turbo jap car that has come to Australia you can think of.
But after having the EP3, it felt like when I got my first turbo car all those years ago, a Toyota Soarer TT in 1995/6 when the import scene started to grow.
But everyone has different opinions due to their past experiences I suppose....
But just remember! A fast car does not mean good driver! As ask the fat guy in Initial D movie :p
hahahah how do you drift Fats quote dude: "slap on the brakes,pull the hang brakes and turn the wheel". sounds more funny in chinese though.
Ok Update on the wipers
I've ordered thess wipers like 8 weeks ago and there were delays for the first 3 weeks due to some shipment trouble. Than went overseas for like 3 weeks afterwards. Went into the store today unfortunately I was told one side of my wipers had been sent to another store gerrrr not happy at all now I need to wait for another week.
