Thanks again for your help. I'll make some adjustments soon. Replacing the radiator this weekend. The damn thing cracked somehow....

I checked the tie rods and they aren't stock so should be right...

Thanks Mike. I was hoping you would weigh in here. Been a long time reader of your build thread :thumbsup:

Front camber: -0.75 degrees
Front toe: 0.5mm total toe in

Rear camber: -1.30 degrees...

Guys, I was after some help. Took the EP3 to Wakefield this weekend and found that I just could not get traction at the back wheels. If I pushed hard into a corner it would oversteer to the point...

Something weird. Took the car to Sydney Motorsport Park a couple of weeks ago: http://autocult.net/2013/11/saunsw-smsp-south-circuit-trackday/. Haven't heard the ping since. Maybe I just needed to...

You need to install the Gruppe M into the standard top cowl. You can cut a section out of it so that it fits through. No more vibration and no more mismatched colour.



Gruppe M is special over...

Haha. Good point. Mediocre in terms of build quality or actual performance though? Could have paid double for a Toda system but it didn't look much different. The PLM header gets pretty great...

That's cool. Got any pics with them fitted?

Should have mentioned the smell is from not running a cat. Will be getting the xforce cat when I get some time.

Sorry guys. I've been busy with uni work lately. I'll try get some fuel trims recorded soon.

They weren't 100% sure it was knock. It would be difficult to capture on video because it is pretty...

Has anyone upgraded their pre-face headlights with the projector style ones? Genuine lights seem to start at $600+. Any experience with aftermarket lights?

I installed PLM headers recently. Already had a Fujisubo exhaust and Gruppe M intake.

It is fairly quiet. The biggest difference is you can hear a hissing sound through the header. Sounds kind of...

Awesome dude. Thanks heaps for the info. This is great.

Hi mate. Thanks for the suggestion. I resistance checked the coil packs (Denso: 099700-070) and the results were as follows:
Ground to +12v Input (Black to...

No they didn't do anything like this. The previous owner did replace the primary O2 sensor though. It does look pretty new. Not sure exactly how old it is. I would guess around 2 years (I have the...

Thanks Guys. I"ll consider getting a kpro & tune. Sounds like the logical way to go with this problem.

Hello. I have a JDM K20a engine which has a pinging problem. The car is an EP3 Civic Type R. It has a couple of bolt on mods including: a Gruppe M intake, Fujitsubo exhaust and PLM headers which I...

Insightful. Thanks bro.

Just something I read. Not saying it has any credibility.

Isn't the Gruppe M the only intake that doesn't screw up your Vtec change-over point? Not sure where I read that??

It was about $21 for 1 litre. I bought 2 bottles because I think it takes 1.5 litres. Also bought a genuine oil filter which was $19.

Yeah for sure. It's pretty sad really. Why they can't hire somebody that at least has a slight interest in cars. Idk. I guess they are trained to be that way so that we want to buy the new civic....

Yeah great idea. Doing that next time. Cool thanks. Been a bit notchy into 2nd lately. Hope this sorts it out.

Is it bad that my local Honda dealer didn't know what a K20a is? I told him it's an EP3 and he asked if it was a hybrid. Couldn't believe it.

Picked up some MTF6. Hope it's the right stuff. Says...

My belt squeals on startup too. Worse when it's a cold morning. I was just going to replace the belt. There is an arrow which indicates belt tension. Maybe check that is in the correct place?

Undo the nut until it is flush with the end of the bolt. Start hammering. Did this once before. Came off pretty easily.
