Does anyone have aftermarket HIDs in? If so, did you use the orginial clips/wire thing to hold in the bulbs? Having a lot of trouble with this and about to order the part in from Japan through Honda.
a shout out to the black ep3 at strathfield and a white red P plater ep3 tonight .. i think he said his name was davo?
lol bro it was damo i gave a shout out to u in the syd thread.. hahaha.. yeah man what a trip out Ive seen 3 to maybe 4 CW ep3s near that area and your the first one to recognize what im rolling.. what are the chances of that seeing one ep3 and then seeing another.. actually that happened to me once at Mt Druitt white boy in a CW ep3 the guy didnt even realize what i was driving and then a minute later another CW ep3 i high beamed dude did nothing.. dam am I invisible? ;]
I'm planning to get an oil catch can for my ep. I have a feeling my oil is disappearing because it is evaporating from the occasional vtec's and recirculating back into the combustion chambers from the pcv system.
I did a compression test and they were healthy consistent numbers and no leaks. People only tell me I have black smoke when the car is vtec'ing but no one has said there was any blue/gray/white smoke. So I doubt the rings or valve stem seals are gone.
So I'm curious to know if nyone else have one installed because I would like know how they mounted it for the ep?
I'm also looking for a CUSCO one but I dunno how to tell between a fake a CUSCO oil catch to a genuine one. On ebay I see some selling for $70 or cheaper while JDMyard, perfectrun, jdmconcept sells them for $160 and over.
how many k's on your engine ? Chances are the pcv is loose or worn and never been replaced. It is designed to close at WOT so probably some oil vapour passes by.
Replace your pcv first.
Btw pretty sure this is the part number for the k20a2
16022-prb-a02
Let us know how you go

Icb is located under the throttle body - it bypasses intake air and adjusts the idle
Mix as the coolant warms up.
The pcv ( positive crankcase valve) vents oil air vapour as it sucks from the cam cover past the piston rings and thru the oil cooler/seperator on the front of the engine block. It's alittle diaphragm with a spring that opens and closes and shuts closed at full
Throttle. This is why there is a murky film inside the throttle body and intake
Manifold - normal but you will use more oil if it's weakened or broken. So replace it !

yeah man well at first i didnt see you maybe it was the black hahaha a bit hard to notice in the dark... but yeah first time ever seeing 3 ep3 in one go. it was nice to see someone actually slowing down and talking rather than just vtec-ing straight away hhahaa.
Spotted a new ep on kurrajong road in prestons, buddyclub body kit and carbon fibre hood but non-hid. Who was that? I was driving a black 4x4, i flashed my hi-beams at you.
