EP3 Type R

[Nepolian]

Surprisingly, he have 2 of them. haha.

At first, i wanted to import them myself but i thought i might just spend a little bit more. At least i can see the car right in front of me and get to sit on it rather than just looking at auction photos which worry me the most. I believe its time consuming as well.

There is always a risk unfortunately when buying without looking!

Sometimes saving a couple of grand comes back to bite you real hard!

does anyone know if 225/45 fit the standard wheel?

[Philip Lee]

mate doing it yourself won't save you a lot of money and it's a real hassle. i found out the hard way.

in a way i kinda regret not buying from IMG now.

i may saved $1k but it probably took me longer to get it onroad + efforts in organising, imho it's not worth the saving.

i think 215 is probably the widest you should go. the side wall on mine is pretty vertical.

225 will go outwards but i don't see why it won't fit tho.

Tyre will fit std rim easily. Depends if your car is lowered. If not you may get away if so you may just get a little touch here and there

what would you guys recommend me for my first mod on the ep3?

put it this way, whats the best in terms of value, performance wise?

The usual I/H/E!

Probably do intake first as it is probably the cheapest.

Header and exhaust will cost a bit and should be done together out of convienence.

The rest is up to you!

Thx Nepolian for the info. actually i agree with you. would you know a rough estimate how much KW can be gain by putting an intake?

what sort of mods have you done so far if u dont me asking?

For I/H/E usually about 10-15 kwatw....but the gains are not just in the end kwatw but in the middle where it matters. Especially with the header, which would give you a good rise in the mid range (from 3500rpm or so) without giving you alot more atw.

Intake itself would get 5-10ish pending on which type etc....

Does that make sense?

the first mod i did on the ep3 is the gruppe m. There definitely is a performance increase as well as having a nuts sound now. I have a fuji rm=01a exhaust on order so when that arrives it will be the second thing so I can't comment on which one made more difference yet but follow what Nepolian said and you can't go wrong.

My first mod will be lowering rail as i can't stand the high sitting position lol.

i don't really care about power mods at this stage. 140awkw is enough for me (coming from a MX5 which has 70...). but when i get bored later, i might start with intake.

i'm doing cosmetic/personalising bits atm, i have some Rays sitting in the garage now.

i have been running around trying to get a spare key cut.

my car has the OEM immobilisor and all the places i went to can't program the key for me. i wonder how much it will cost at Honda dealer....

anyone has any advise?

in a way it's good that nobody can make a spare key easily but on the other hand it's a PITA.
