headers fit both audm and jdm im pretty sure the mid pipe is slightly longer on the dc5 both jdm and audm... but yeah muffler is different aswell slightly im sure you can cut and mod it to fit but not worth it i say...
twest like the car its nice and clean dont like the rear tail lights though and is that were you really put the front "P" plate? o_O
Dc5 and ep3 share the same wheelbase. If the headers are the same, wouldn't the midpipe be the same? Obviously muffler is longer on the dc5 as it has longer rear overhang.
Ahh the FL Tail-lights grow on you. LOL i don't normally have the p plate there, normally i chuck in under the number plate. Just that day when i got it my parents liked it 'Well displayed' so I may attract as many police as possible :PQuote:

Actually, now that you mention it. I believe the car he is getting in next week has the facelift headlights. I could ask for you, do you definitely want them?Quote:

There's another asian guy in cabra that has a black ep3, duy is his name. It's a bit of a rough ep3 though, scratches, front lights are yellow, mugen lip is cracked.Quote:

Hmmmmm....................
I have a DC5 mid pipe and it seems to be the same! Although I haven't measured it!

69000 Yen for an ep3 GruppeM intake, that's not a bad price right?

If u run a spoon mid pipe (which can be fitted on with stock header and muffler), the mid pipe is the same for dc5 and ep3.
good point :thumbsup:Quote:

What coilovers or springs are you guys running? How are they to drive?
I've got Mugen Sports Suspension. Not too bad. Handles okay but abit to soft for track and stiffer than stock.
I run tein super street. Not too bad. Ride is fine for street but probably too soft for track. Less understeer than stock.
anyone running eibach prokit here?
You guys reckon thats a good price for dynamat?
http://www.albertsmyaree.com.au/stor...ct=bulk%20pack
im running buddy club n+ on the softest setting. ride is very compliant
I'm not sure, I discovered a giant pack of Dynamat in my shed, which I completely forgot about.Quote:

How come you guys need dynamat for the EP3r? I've found the ride to be plenty quiet.
Then again i came from a dc2r
for stereo sound quality maybe.Quote:

It's more to increase sound quality of my speakers rather than reduce roadnoise.Quote:

To the guys with aftermarket wheels, are you guys using hub rings?
Hub rings are a good idea!Quote:

Anyone running a mugen airbox on their car? Little bit of feedback on one as I might get one if they do a decent job, just cant justify $800 for the GruppeM.
You're running TE37s and stock front and rear brakes yea? What size hub rings are you using? I cant seem to find the centrebore measurements lolQuote:

could be ur suspension bolts or controlarm abit loose?
Yeh I have had a quick check under the car n everything seems tight. and it only ever does it in the wet has never happened in the dry. I'll have 2 have a gud look this weeked
Tyres not griping?
Sounds like no grip with tyres!!
Yeah hk was good. Baught a few parts not much..Quote:

and if you do need them where do you get them at autobarn,one of the oh traders,repco? :o
They are a good idea as they keep the load off the wheel nuts! plus they keep your wheel turn true!Quote:

I have experienced this exact problem, it's tires not gripping. It happened to me the first day I got my car and I was like 'WTF??" because I wasn't use to the shifter yet i accidently went into 1st out of 4th thinking it was 3rd, made the car shake exactly like what you are talking about.Quote:

its the exact same problem as us. When u have a after market cat back exhaust and u drive in the wet, the rain gets in and "sizzles" u could say and it makes weird noises. My car b4 use to sound like a loud v8 when i went through big puddles. I found if i drive easy it prolonged this from happening but it stills happens in the end so my thoughts that driving easy meant that the exhaust pipe didnt heat up as much. This was all fixed once i got my new headers installed. Not sure why though, mayb the different metals butting up next to eachother :S no idea to b honest. But yeah so far since my headers have been installed i havent had the problem happen while driving through the rain
