EP3 Type R

[SuperSteve]

For my own curiosity, the EP3 runs Mcpherson/Double Wishbone like the DC5 correct?

yes someone correct me im wrong but im pretty sure yes


Thanks egads for ur link ill install it again and see what happens

[icecrm]

eg5's civic can come on 16th i been in it before

CRAZZZZYY!!!!

mate i think what u said is right because b4 when i was driving with the engine damper on i could hear weird noises when cornering

haha i think it may have upset the engine mount. Guess there is no need for it now for ill probably just get some innovative mounts sometime in the really near future

Well if Kongfu thinks this :

Ask Chi from Sydney and Mugsee from Melb..They are DC5R Professionals!

They got plenty of experience and their opinions are super reliable!

Then sure I'm right lol.

*mugsee high-five's Chi*

Just confirming that EP3R's also use mcpherson struts at the front and double wishbone at the the back like DC5's.

[Chi]

Yep they are MacPherson struts, but I think the EP3 has a shorter wheel base.

Some people say the EP3 over steers more easily than the DC5R because of this.


So Mugsee I heard Tom was the b1tch for your Syd visit in a few weeks time lol lol lol.

anyone here with ep3 that has installed a engine damper and notice some rattle/ cluck noises while changing gears ?
does the engine damper make a noise when it absorbs the pressure from the engine ??
could it b my engine mounts ?? hahaha u all can call me mr paranoia

My J's torque damper rattled like no tomorrow between shifts and sometimes at idle. It definitely did something however because without it my gruppe M had a tendency to jump out of its allotted slot in the windscreen cowl with engine movement. And then I just got ES motor mount inserts and turfed the j's damper.

Whatever guy. Think you can sledge me in the EP3 thread and I won't find out. I am everywhere at once .

Mugsee will be crying like a baby after 8 hours on 24kg/mm .

iirc EP3 has same wheelbase as DC5R.

when people comment EP3 being oversteery. do they compare with AUDM DC5R?

Bwuahaha.

Stiffy goodness.

I stand corrected.

These are the guys in Aust and UK and USA.

HA! My kidneys are in the best shape they've ever been in and by the time we're through with the 7hour workout, they'll be better than ever before!

According to these two websites, the EP3R and DC5R wheel bases are exactly the same at 2570mm:

From Honda Jp factbook, both are 2570mm: EP3 and DC5

so wheelbase doesn't make the difference. however tracks are different with DC5R on 1490mm while EP3 is 1470mm.

maybe weight distribution as well.

[Chi]

The AUDM DC5R should be similar to the EP3R due to not having the JDM hub set up which sits out further.

Sorry guy but track takes into account wheel offset as it is measured from tyre centre-line to tyre centre-line. Thus if the track of the EP3R is narrower than the JDM dc5r it is also narrower than the AUDM dc5r.
