EP3 Type R

[charliebrown]

There wasn't many things to do when I imported my car at 72xxx

Oil
Oil filter
Spark plugs part no. NGK ZFR6FIX-11
Air filter
Cabin filter
Fuel filter part no. 16010-S5A-932
MTF
Coolant
Valve clearances

Obviously check all bushes and items that wear out over time like engine mounts, drive belts, brakes, driveshaft/steering rack boots, tie rod ends

I believe some people also readjust/check the timing chain, tensioner and replace the water pump

Cheapest would be to get your oil from repco sales, oil filter/MTF/coolant from mekong spares, cabin filter from US ebay ($20-25), fuel filter from the UK (~$50), spark plugs from ebay (~$50-60).

You'd be paying a crazy amount on fluids and filters from honda dealer

Thanks CB.
I trust my mechanic and he's very thorough so not too concerned about the bushes and wear and tear parts you mentioned. However, I'll mention them to him before he gets stuck into the job

Where would I go to get the water pump? Not too keen on going through Honda...
Does Repco have genuine Honda oils or do you have experience with other oils that make your car perform better?
I just Googled Mekong Spares as I didn't know what you meant. Are you talking about the NSW shop? Do you think it'll be cheaper to buy from there and have it shipped?

Use Penrite 10tenths racing from Repco. Cheap and excellent oil.

MTF go genuine.

Sorry I thought you were from NSW since you got your car from IMG. Mekong spares is just a shop that sells fluids at the best price

Yeah that's what I came up with for the DC5R and hopefully it's the same.

If you have a PRB/C IM it will be the same gasket.
