Click the link fellow! That link goes to an RSX clutch master cylinder from OEMacuraparts which should be about $140 shipped to Australia.

Just a quick question guys. Do you know anywhere I can get the passenger air bag inflator from? I can't pass pink slip.

Can anyone recommend some alignment settings for hitting the track on the EP3?

Figures I was thinking of were:

Front:
-2 degrees camber
slight toe out (but I am unsure how many degree's)

Rear:
approx -1 to -1.5 degrees camber
0 toe

Height: will be about a 20mm gap between the tyre and guards

Sounds like a good setup to start with, a little more negative camber at the front might not hurt. What tyres, spring rates and sway bars are you using? 2-3mm of toe out at the front should be a good amount to start with and should perceptibly improve turn in.

Thanks for the feedback!

Tyres i'll be running are advan a048's, front:245/40/17, rear:225/45/17. Spring rates from memory are 8 front/10 rear. Unfortunately I haven't upgraded the swaybars yet, only changed the rear end links to nolathane items.

Hey Julian, nah unfortunately I won't be ready in time. I'm aiming to get down to Sandown in the middle of October.

Good to hear your hitting the track though. It should be awesome!

its time to service the ep3... just wondering which coolants would you recommend i use ? and whats a good injector cleaner?

For injectors you can get them clean professionally for around 25 bucks each. If your looking for an additive try the Nulon Total fuel system cleaner.

For the coolant are you planning to professionally flush the whole thing out or not? If not which colour is it? Dont mix different colour coolants together. Normally for coolants there are 2 main colours. Green or red. For green there will be 2 types, type a or b. Type a will be better since it has anti boil, anti rust and anti freeze while type b will only have anti boil? Red coolant are generally better than the green coolants. However i've also heard that honda started to make a blue coolant which is currently one of the best in the market. If you dont wanna spend that much stick with Nulon green coolant, ive been using it and it's running fine. If your interested just pm me cause i think i have some left.
