EP3 Type R

[JDM EP3]

Thanks mate. What do you recommend? 205 or 215?
Mine is jdm btw

You mean that you are running the JDM spec size tyre?

Its up to you what you decide to run or what tyre size you want to pay for. Im running the 215's as that was the only tyre I was allowed to be complianced on, otherwise I prob would have run a 225 but then come to think of it the rim is only 7'' (if im correct) wide so prob stupid to do so.

215 seems like the size it should have come from factory.

so by law i should be wearing 215 on my ep3?

is that right? so technically i can get a defect?

Im not sure about this if you can get defected or not but I assume that they ADR's state that this car needs to run a 215 tyre on Aus roads for compliance.

the OEM size for a EP3 is 205/45/17.

Is it bad that my local Honda dealer didn't know what a K20a is? I told him it's an EP3 and he asked if it was a hybrid. Couldn't believe it.

Picked up some MTF6. Hope it's the right stuff. Says its for all Hondas.

No you won't. My door panel states 205/45/17 which is what it comes from out of factory and is what it was complianced on also so there's no issues. Even if it was meant to be 215/45/17, you wouldn't get defected with just a 10mm width difference.

@Azz86: Just tell them you have a DC5R. And yep, MTF06 is fine. Currently using that in my gearbox and it's silky smooth.

[Azz86]

Yeah great idea. Doing that next time. Cool thanks. Been a bit notchy into 2nd lately. Hope this sorts it out.

Alright, had a few small dings removed tonight. Looking at the front guards under some decent close up light, we noticed that there was a Honda sticker on each side a few centimetres below where the indicators now are. I'm really trying to get my car as close to stock looking as possible so can anyone confirm if they were a stock item or if anyone has a pic that would be even better?

thats neither bad nor unexpected. they're honestly just salesman hired because they can sell anything. therefore they will only know what they need to sell.

Not true. Parts interpreters are far from being just salesmen. Hell, when was the last time you went to the parts department and they tried to push you into buying a part? It just isn't uncommon for them to not know the chassis code or the engine which is in a Honda vehicle which was never locally released.

[butterfingers]

yea thats what i meant

may have dramatised it a bit.

Can anyone confirm the part number for the Injen CAI that fits EP3? Keen to hit the go button on one but want to make sure it's the right one first! Opinions/reviews welcomed too.
