Is that the one you're using Nepolian? I know these things should be relatively simple but I want to avoid getting a dud. Thanks.

Second gear issue has been well documented in the UK with their CTRs... see civictype-r.co.uk for a fair bit of discussion on the "feature"/issue (registration is required).

quick question, how do you bleed the clutch?

**Philip Lee** · 24-09-2008 10:57 AM

Shinobi, maybe you can try changing to a heavier gear knob first. they should shift much better.

I'm looking at getting some defi gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp) for my EP3

does anybody have some installed or pics of some? Since I dont have the car yet does everything light up red at night in the interior of the EP3?

thanks
