But yes, I'm sure the actual VIN number will match up to see if it is a 'factory' type r!

Have you got one yet!

Can see many EP3R reps around....only in the US which is useless to us anyway ;p

My bad ! VIN number is right on. Thanks for clearing that up :)

You are a fuk wit, standard energizer won't last for long....you know that!

I would suggest energizer lithium......and bundle it up with a spoon sock/s (if you dare).....will provide awesome cranking power!

hey guys i got a noob question, did the jdm ep3r come in different packages? because this ep3r at some dealer had no air con, no power windows. In addition the dealer said that it is legit special racing package but i dont really believe him, as he said the air con weighed 50kg which i seriously didn't believe lol.

this is the "standard" JDM EP3.

there is a "special" package called C package (ie. comfort) which has air con, rear parcel shelf, rear wipers, power windows, tinted rear glass etc etc.

however most JDM EP3 sold were the "special" package cars which imho make the "standard" EP3 more special lol.

according to the Honda Jp factbook, an EP3 with air cond is 1210kg and it's 20kg heavier than the ones without. however i suspect the C package weights more than 20kg.

lol that would be me. I've got the 'special racing package' <--- LOL
it's not really that bad. lucky my guy put aircon in it but i don't have everything else.

my broker said approx 30% of ep3's in japan are std the rest being comfort package. imho just go with the c-package, it's a lot more convenient.

Twest,

Someone wrote here that the EU bar fits or the FL bar is a EU bar with a lip or something like that. Phil??

With the air con and radiator, it may be interchangeable with DC5, EU, ES etc......might need to hit google for that!

Hey guys just installed Injen CAI, and the sensor grommet they gave seems to be too small (and doesnt match the instruction diagram).. so when the sensor is in, the sensor sits loose. Is that normal for you guys? Also, where did you guys mount the ground wires, there seems to be nowhere to put them.. so I just left it in the stock position and put the vibra-mount and bracket over it..

yeh the gromit is shit but still works fine cause when there is suction it pulls the sensor in but no air is being pull from the the gromit and the reearthing just follow the instructions, unless u got very hard to see pics on ur instructions like i got lol

Not that I think US made is better, just that I have only used two brands of brake pads, Brembo and Hawk. And I really like the Hawk pads, that's why. Thanks for clarifying!:thumbsup:

Damn wish i read your replies before i went out and shoved my air sensor with a rubber hose and now it sits super super tight in the grommet lol! Hope this isn't bad... :zip:

All u need to do is to take the small plastic trim that cover the coil. Hard to explain
1. first put the 2 back seats down
2. You should be able to see the middle trim when the seats are down the covers it right next the middle trim just give it a small pull it should come off.

there are 2 small round plugs (1 each side) u need to pull out b4 u pull the trim off.

to do that, use something to push the inside circle in and it should be free to pull the plugs off.

imo sides and back should be fine.
