welcome, nice to have another EP3 owner on board. :)
The wiring should not be too hard to 'unwire'. Most of the wiring is situated close to the HU, so it's just a matter of following each wire to see where it leads and simply cut off/unclip the wires where unnessesary (<--did I spell that right?).
Very easy to DIY, but if you are not sure then just get a pro to do it for you. :D

Anyone get a good deal on tyres recently in the stock rim size? 215/45/17
i think stock tyre size was actually 205/45/17 btw but yeah TYRE DEALS? any around?
Yes, stock is 205/45/17.Quote:

Coming from 205/45/17 (RE-01R's) to 215/45/17, the ride comfort is a lot better, but I do feel a lot more flex in the sidewalls of the tyre, especially when going around corners with a fair amount of speed.
Bladeless.....how does that work when it comes to wiping the screen?? Sounds cheap, just take the old ones off LOL!!Quote:

DVD will read a region 2 disc only. no chance to use the TV and GPS.
there are really only power, illum, ground, ACC and speaker cables.Quote:

lol common steve just admit it ur a hoon hahaha
Mugen, i might be a little late for the meet tonight as i need to have dinner with my folks first but i should be there by 8pm.
yeah i got something on tonight aswell my dad just told me but ill make it, its only couple mins away from my place, seeya there
they usually hang around from 7:30 till around 9 and move onto the 2nd meeting point.....

I've kept the stock one, kinda cool having no idea how to use your own sound system and it adds to the jdm element :)

Gosh, need an ESL lesson...lol :p

haha yeah, so i kept my GPS receiver and TV antenna on the car but i like some music when driving so i had to change the HU when my JDM one doesn't play CDs properly.Quote:

Hey guys just wondering is the standard lug nut torque 80 ft lbs?
Also how much camber adjustment is there at the front with standard suspension?
I usually torque mine to around 60 ft lbs.Quote:

oh damn, did you have to adjust camber when you fitted your 18's?Quote:
