Knackered clutch or slave cylinder or both.

Go for an aem v1 / aem cai ( sits in the inner wheel arch ) made a difference to my stock ep3 and much much better than short ram kits that sit in engine bay, with aem cai, your exhaust/decat and a k100 live mapped you shouldn't be too far off 220bhp p.s - the injen kits are the same as aem cai...

You don't need to remove the blanking plate plenty of cold air gets into that area and it really does make a noticeable difference to how the car performs, I fitted a similar kit to an old mg zs180 I had years back and it gained around 6-7 bhp on that particular car as the standard setup was...

Just a quick question.. do the generic obd2 readers read abs fault codes or am I peeing into the wind? its definitely either a dirty or faulty sensor but would rather plug it in and find out which one rather than take them all out and guess :) Cheers Dave

I have the aem cai on my otherwise stock ep3 and have never had an issue with it yet, if you drove through a deep puddle at speed I suppose your asking for it! The car also performs much better with it fitted, better than the short ram kit I had on it and better than the oem box it also sounds...

That's a nasty one.... sad to hear about the passenger the driver needs to be locked up imho !!!

4.5 / 5k is realistic I reckon

Good replies... I'm going down the remap route as it is all to easy to drop out of vtec unless you are super accurate with your shifts ( just like I was not in my video haha ) a lower vtec point will be beneficial in real world driving and the higher rev limit is also nice :) fao ninja9 - Cpl...

Is not proven but it definitely made my ep3 go a lot better imho with intakes I would say this is one of the best you can get bar the very expensive gruppe m jobbies!

After driving trucks all week it is great to get into something that sounds and accelerates like the ep3 does :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNLhaeCS7Hc&feature=youtu.be

Aem v2 is the short ram kit that sits in the engine bay... will do naff all for power but will sound nice! the aem v1 / aem cai is the kit that sites the filter in the wheelarch behind the foglight/cover this kit will and does improve the cars performance, I went from a v2 style kit to the aem...

100 % what the above poster has said... would do the clutch 1st then get a 4 wheel alignment done then sort out the heatshield rattle if that's what it is and you will have a spot on car hopefully p.s - mine is getting awkward to get in gear sometimes when in vtec so clutch time for me too :)

For road use oem / mintex or the likes will be fine.

Get a 2nd hand aem cai (v1) fit a decent aftermarket catback and pop on a Cpl reflashed ecu (hondata with base map on it) the car will definately perform better remap will lower vtec and raise rev limit. That's my plan anyhow.. I found an aem cai on ebay for under £90 and it has definitely...

I used to have a short ram kit on mine... if anything it made it slower, went back to oem for a bit, have now fitted a long arm aem kit (sits behind the bumper) and it pulls loads better and sounds lovely... have driven it in the ****ing rain and not had any issues !! for performance fit aem...
