How many kms have you clocked up when your mount splitted if you don't mind me asking?

how about your clutches guys? i think all that clutch starting was killing my bearing so got it disabled. going for major service in two weeks, should it just be changed?
also with the hub rings- do oem wheels need it or is it fine without them? I know aftermarket wheels need those rings not too sure about oem though.

OEM wheels don't need center hub rings.
The center bore of OEM are manufacturered to fit tight on the hub.
Aftermarket needs it because usually they have a larger center bore to allow the usage of center hub rings to fit on different brands of cars.
I think most Honda uses 56.1 for the inner diameter of center bore.
If you take off your oem wheel and measure the center bore and the hub, You will realise there is no space to be in a center hub ring anyway.

Are you talking about the release bearing? If so, generally the clutch kit you buy should come with it such as exedy.
My mechanic told me Honda will you charge you that bearing seperately.
To sum up, when changing the clutch, a good mechanic will advise and change the release bearing, pilot bearing and rear oil seal. This will save you cost on taking out the gearbox in future.

Oh great. My first problem comes now. 
My car has developed a squeeky noise when i steer. This occurs only while the car is in motion.
I remember reading someone along these 700 odds pages stating the fix is quite easy.
Ozhonda's thread search is a pain since I get several hundred results back and it doesn't even preview what the post is.
If i remember correctly, I needed to grease somewhere. Can someone kindly point me in the right directions?
Thanks

You have 3 choices really....maybe 4.
1) Oem = Oem ride quality
2) Inserts = best in between in regards to balance of oem vs harshness. But! it won't help if you have split driver side mount.
3) Mugen = Not too sure other than a deep hole in your pocket for set of mounts which look oem?
3) Innovative/hasport etc = Great performance in every aspect, except for vibrations through the car!
Your choice, but my suggestion would be to go for a ride with someone with the above mounts if you're not too sure.
ps...If you're Toretto....go for the Innovative/Hasports!
ps...I may have something that may help you??
Real good info Nepolian! Does anyone on here have the hasports?
I like street cred...but I also like my spine to not be vibrated into a grey dust :P, How are the mugen mounts steve?
EG5 from Jdmyard contacted me and recommended the 'hardrace' mounts, they are a 4-Piece hard rubber set rather than the poly that Innovative and other companies use, I reckon I'll go for that

I have felt all after market mounts that are possible for EP3/DC5R and you will be kidding yourself if hardrace are going to reduce vibration. The EP3/DC5R engine mount design is a bit of a let down by honda. As soon as you try any sort of stiffening up you are going to feel it asap. The closest factory feel with a little more security is the mugen mounts, so dont be fooled

hey Poeter its the steering rack, the rubber piece that right behind the motor theres two sides. to describe it, it looks like the rubber surrounding the gear knob and its black, you'll need new clamps once you've taken it off to grease as you cant connect the clamp again. dont search the thread search the whole sub forum there was a thread with pictures somewhere.
