EP3 Type R

[SuperSteve]

i bought the 4point brace off typercivic it is ultra racing. i think its the same as the dc5r dont quote me on that though might have to check with typercivic

so you r the one that got it, that's the only thing I missed from his EP3 hehe, I'll prob get same, he took me for a ride when he had all the stuff on the car and it was pretty stiff, I think with coilovers it may be too much for everyday driving unless set on very soft settings

[SuperSteve]

hahaha yeah i beat u to that 1 Yeah it did make the front car seem heaps more stiffer turning into corners. Having the 4 point brace im not sure if ill upgrade my front sway bar incase that might cause more understeer. The back im definately gonna do.

Get coilovers!

TEIN Monoflex ftw.

[Malenic1981]

Yeah my foult, I was offerd but did know if I want it at the time hehe
You recon with front sway bar and 4 point brace I may get lots understeer??

Coilovers are good but I'm not sure if I really need them so don't want to spend too much if there is no need, prob better get some other stuff for car

general rule:

to reduce understeer/increase oversteer, soften the front/harden the rear.

to reduce oversteer/increase understeer, soften the rear/harden the front.

so if the car is understeering now, get smaller front bar or bigger rear bar.

stiffening bars will reduce chassis flex, it shouldn't increase or reduce understeer (unless the chassis has been flexing so much so that the alignment is really out).

Yeah coilovers would b awesome but they are a bit much now unfortunately Im not sure about TEIN Monoflex coilovers if they give u camber adjustment. If i go with Coilovers ill probably go for buddy club racing spec dampers because u need to get extra camber at the front wheels. I took my car for wheel allignment b4 my track day and they couldnt get any camber on the front wheels. They said they got as much as they could but if u look at my front wheels they look dead straight. They said i should get camber bolts or get some nice coilovers with camber adjustment on them.

With having the 4point brace installed it does feel stiffer into turns but it feels as if the car would understeer if i took a corner hard so thats why i was thinking ill just keep to the jdm front swaybar and upgrade to a bigger at the rear to help the back more. Well thats how i see it. Its probably best to check with someone else that has done front and rear swaybars i could b wrong hehehe

hmm mayb understeer with our cars is mayb due to the lack of camber on our front wheels

anyone recommend a good intake?

[Malenic1981]

GruppeM is the way

[SuperSteve]

yeah i got a gruppe m and im not complaining. Carbon Fibre design so its bling for ur enginebay. Improve throttle response. The scream noise it makes when u hit vtec is out of this world. And i gained 13kw at the wheels from it
