sorry its just that under ur avatar it says ek

Could b ur engine mounts... check them to see if any cracks and if its not them see if ur exhaust is nice and tight. If its not something obvious take it to a good mechanic and get them to take a look

[Mugen_B16B]

yeah i checked the mounts and nothin, it only happens when i shift into 2nd really quick, if i take my time then its ok, all i could think of is the motor having to m uch torque hitting the wall or something, ill take it into the place where i got it, its still got warenty so yeah

i get the some nose from under the car when it wet and i drive it hard ..

[Mugen_B16B]

[bradb16a]

its like the exhaust hits the the under body of the car ...
its like the vibrating really hard and hits .. full mugen exhaust

[SuperSteve]

yeah i get that problem with my car when its wet aswell. If i drive my car like a baby and dont hit potholes or puddles it doesnt make the noise but when it starts pouring down and water hits the exhaust the exhaust note changes and u can hear it knocking. Common problem with aftermarket exhausts but ive read a thread on the intergra part of this forum and the problem seems to dissappear once u have upgraded ur headers. Strange :S



I dug up the thread here it is if u wanna have a lil bit of a look

guys xmas is coming and I may get lucky to convince my dad to buy me something for my EP3 (he doesn't mind getting me something for house and so on but car bits are just waste of $$$$ for him hehe) so yeah Im thinking of some suspension work, pretty much Im happy with how EP3 handles and i wouldn't want it to be much harder/stiffer so I was thinking of just getting it a bit lower, so springs would be the way as they are cheaper as well, but I don't want kings or lovells had bad expirience with those things before, I was thinking of Eibach or H&R, read lots of good stuff about them, the only problem I have is if they gonna be good for some track work (few times a year just for fun), with them I would also have fron, rear sway bars and 4 point under car brace.

So pretty much my set up would be sway bars (front & rear) 4 point under car brace and springs, you guys recon this would be good set up for mainly street driven EP3??

[SuperSteve]

I got the 4 point underbrace and all other struts (front tower and rear cabin strut brace and lower underarm brace) all im missing is the front and rear swaybars. Having all these the car does feel abit more stiffer but i heard u dont really feel anything till after u do ur swaybars and coilovers. Cusco have 25mm front and rear swaybars but because of the aussie dollar they are selling for 450 each :S im still not sure and trying to find out how much mm the front and rear swaybar is if u know or find out let me know please

[Malenic1981]

I already got J's racing front one but don't know how much mm it is, will prob get rear from J's racing as well, what 4 point underbrace you got??
