Anyone got an alarm wiring diagram? Just trying to fit an alarm to my 02 ep3 and the colours are completely different to USDM wiring.

How much clearance do you have with the trailing arm?

I'm not 100% sure but I've never had any problems with rubbing on the trailing arms, and I'm only running -0.5 degrees of camber on the rear too.
I'll be running -1.5 or -2 degrees when I drop it some more, which should give me even more trailing arm clearance.

When you have spare time could you send a pic to be from the wheel to see the clearance plz? you can PM me if you want cheers.

I have a moth stuck in my headlight... I hope it doesn't die in there lol

Anyway, has anyone tried 'seafoam' on their cars? Apparently the australian alternative for it is "subaru upper engine cleaner" from subaru or 'nulon foaming intake cleaner'. Both work the same to clean out the carbon, applied the same and does the smoke show and all...

hey guys....

my battery in my ep3 died out today..

well im pretty sure its my battery because car wont start, lights wont turn on and so on and etc etc..

was wondering if i got a new battery...

do i need to get a specific type of battery or can i just rock up to any supercheap auto and get any type of car battery?

You need to look at the cold cranking amps or cca, all batteries will state it and the higher the better, but usually that means the battery will be bigger and might not fit in the battery compartment. I think the oem battery for the ep3 is 360 cca so anything above is fine just make sure it will fit in the battery compartment. I went for the highest cca that could still fit cause it had a longer warranty, and cranks better too

ok so just ask for a battery with 360 cca or higher and it should be ok?

yea just note the size of the battery and it should be good

And the way the terminal sits on the battery. So the 3 main things are:

1. Shape and size.
2. CCA.
3. Terminals
