yep..kpro probably
hey guys,
Been doing a fair bit of researching and just wondering, for anyone that has lowered their car, have you changed tie rod ends to inverted tie rod ends ?? anyone have a roll centre adjustment aswell ?? im getting tein mono flexes and im worried about what happens when we lower our cars how the tie rods angle up. Anyone got a bit of knowledge they can try and drill into my head lol
yeah i researched that awhile back and alot of ppl reckon when u lower ur car u should get inverted tie ends cause it cause stress on the rack
yeah ive been reading that aswell. But then ive read that inverted tie rods have failed, which im sort of scared about since im gonna b tracking my car, and i wouldnt want a tie rod to snap while in a corner, that would = FAILQuote:

anything else apart from that?
stuff like bumpers, panels and windows are a hassles. just don't crash it and u'll be fine lol.
the lack of parts is a good thing, less likely to spend $$ haha
guys, any Syd EP3 meet during Dec?
i'm coming down around xmas and available on 29th afternoon.
would love to meet up.
cheers
hi guys hope someone can help...
Does anyone know what the width of the rear lower strut bolt is.....
the reson my new dc5 coilover are in the house and have to get the lower rear bolt shaved so the fit ...
hey guys i got a prob car wont start smoothly, ive changed the plugs which i thought was the problem which i guess i was wrong, power and everything seems to be sweet, alternator working cause bat still gets charged, what else could it be cause it takes it sweet ass time to start, maybe injectors not spraying enough petrol through??? cause it seems like the petrol aint coming thought but i could be wrong
Check your fuel filter and lines.
Make sure nothing it kinked.
Also check your coils are all connected properly.
What is the widest and lowest offset that can be used on an EP3. I have a set of 17 x 9" + 22 TE37's that I would like to try and fit. Am I wasting my time?
Thanks
Hmm.. I suppose blk_shadow can give a bit of tip on this.. His te37 looks great!
That spec you mention is for an evo fitment. offset is way to low for an ep3 and also too wide.Quote:

Anyone know if these things are compatible with our cars, and is it hard to install yourself?
http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/a...DP1/index.html
I cant see why not if you already have a touch screen unit. How much is it?
Hey guys,
Im getting my car back next week, parts are arriving from UK mid next week and the panel beater will have the Bumper, radiator and aircon in by friday....Took long enough.
Anyway, im upgrading my sound system when i get my car back and installing these:
ROCKFORD FOSGATE P500-1BD
Rockford Fosgate Power T110D2 10" Sub
ROCKFORD FOSGATE P400-4
ROCKFORD FOSGATE T1652-S 6.5" COMPONENT
Now how did you guys connect your amps and what not to the ep3? Straight to the battery terminal or...? I have no knowledge of the power configurations of this car so some guidance would be good :) Also do you guys recommended using a farad capacitor to take the strain off the alternator a bit?
i connect my +ve straight off the battery (with a fuse close to the battery terminal) and -ve to the chassis at the boot.
A capcitor won't be needed Neva had 1 in any of my cars. The lights may dim a little but as long as the car is running u should b okQuote:

Do u want to keep factory level NVH? If so buy stock mounts.
Anything harder like inserts and solid mounts will increase NVH but give better performance.
I'm looking for more performance and the vibration is ok. How much performance difference do u get from solid mounts? Also how's the vibration for daily driving?
Forget solid mounts, don't want ur car to feel like a truck. I think you mean aftermarket mounts made with urethane?Quote:

For street, i would recommend that you just urethane them to keep some of its noise dampening properties.
Try and see if you can go for a ride with someone who has one cause the vibrations are 'noticeable', especially if you get set ie innovative/hasport.
Anyway, that's what I think ;)
I'm easy with meets.....I thought weekdays would be easier as it is a little quieter!
Just throw some up guys! Steve did say BBQ......which I'm always up for :)
Let get something sorted out :)
As far as I know he went through NRMA's International Suppliers, so I'm guessing there are parts avenues that are only available to the pro's.Quote:

Anyone knows how to take the black thing behind the rear number plate? My mates having problems taking hers off.

Yeh I pretty sure that I just pulled mine off. Can't remember if I broke it or not. But I pretty sure I pulled it offQuote:

hey guys, is it possible to adjust the front wiperblade arm so that it rotates more? My drivers side wiper arm seems to stop really far from the edge of the windscreen, so its kind of annoying.
Yes, just like any other wiper!Quote:
