Na my car was completly stock when I bought it. A week later my mount broke. The O2 sensor needed to be replaced (don't think has anythin to do with tracking) the clutch is sticky and the thrust bearing is noisy.

my stock too, and is 64k when i got it now 70k everything still good,

how many k's you got?

one more thing is, being stock when u bought it, doesn't mean it was stock in its previous life up in Japan. but about the O2 sensor its prolly a faulty unit tho.

Jap bought Type R only for one reason, and yeah we know it LOL.

it was prolly stock here to be able to get it complied, so ITB's and stuffs won't make it LOL just my guess....

Never happened mate, Honda isn't that careless. Gear shifter is in awesome position and a treat to slot through the gears =)

Even when your quick shifting,

Oh and also I wanted to ask if EP3 gearboxs have the same nothcy 2nd gear as DC5's?

Mate - it's an imported jdm type r, I didn't buy it to do the grocery run. Of course that includes quick shifting. All I do is quick shift it

do u mean at any rpm or only high rpm? My FL is fine 90% of time but occasionally at high rpm (>8000) it can stick when trying to 'quick shift' to 2nd.
