I was considering organising one but just haven't had the time, unless we join the monthly meet that Shogun is organising and that way take advantage of the happy snappers..hehe

i bought a set of used 18" Rays off a friend. will keep the oem wheels as spare.

i thought about selling the oem wheels to buy new tyres for rays but i guess i'd lose a fair amount of $ as i just paid for new tyres for compliance.

if you want to change colour, might as well buy a set of FD Civic sport wheels as they're pretty much the same design as EP3.

I've got this problem but only on turning especially up hill. My mechanic has checked my car and he just couldn't find out the problem that causes the noise. (DAMN IT MAN...the noise just disappeared when he drove my car) He's pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the steering rack. I've read through some posts regarding to this issue. I believe it's still safe to drive. Try to cope with clucking noise mate. Maybe turn the music louder (that's my way)

i had the same issue if you have a look at the steering poll that goes through the fire wall there is a rubber that holds it i spray it with some wd40 in an that stoped it

Ive got this exact problem! when i move my steering around doesn't matter whether stationary or driving theres a random clunking noise...took it to a steering & suspension shop to get it fixed but all they said was that my coilover's were missing a "tender spring" and a plate was slipping...no safety concerns at all but would cost $200 a corner to fix! i think i will just have to live with it

thanks for feedback guys

thank god it sounds like a common problem i thought mayb i was doomed >_< but yeah from what ive read on the civic type r uk forums, there are a couple of issues related to steering but they arent safety concerns just noises. Over in uk though they were lucky because everyone got new parts through warranty. But yeah i guess the music is going to have to go up now haha OMG HECTIC BASS ULEH !
