Hey guys, Gotta replace the rear calipers on my '02 EP3 but looking on ebay a reconditioned pair is £150 which seems pretty reasonable! But was wondering if any of rear calipers on the previous gen civics or other Hondas for that matter will fit? Logic dictates maybe as they used the same...

Hey guys/girls, Has anybody had their steering wheel re-trimmed? If so where did you go and how much did you pay? On a side note what's a good size of aftermarket steering wheel? Been looking at 320mm flat. Any suggestions? Cheers :D

Yeah I've already used the fault code reader, said sensor 1 bank 1 (pre cat I think) high voltage. Iirc it was code 137 or 132 :S

Lmao jimbo :P and they're NTK/NGK so good as oem quality I'd like to think. If it is the cat, I've got a sport cat and manifold knocking about, plus I've just ordered a stainless mid pipe and oem style backbox. But will need a remap if I decided to put the sport cat and mani on :/ money money...

Hey guys, Had a problem a few months ago with constant fault codes popping up regarding both O2 sensors. I replaced the sensors and shes been running perfectly until now. Milage is 102k with original cat and I purchased the car last November with 96k. Seems very soon for the sensors to...

Does anybody know a Honda specialist (or even someone local who knows what they're doing with equipment etc) in or near Coventry/Rugby area? I'm quite close to giving up with this car, which is a real shame because I loved it at first, but am tired of throwing money that I dont have at it. Think...

Anybody know if the mugen twin loop for the dc2/ek9 is compatible or the same as the ep3/dc5? Any help would be appreciated :)

Cheers for this mate, didn't think it would be so simple! :)

Where did you get your rebuild kit from? Also does it really matter if the pistons are made from hard chrome coated steel or stainless steel? Cheers :)

Ah sorry Scottish, been very busy to provide an update :( apologies. Did a little top up, only half a litre was needed! (not bad after 4000 miles since oil change and hitting 100k! :)) Car has been running nice and smooth, a wee juddery every now and then - again only when cold. Will look at...

Its on the minimum dot and I'm taking it very steady too. Waiting for top up to arrive

Right, did the valve clearances today. The inlet pistons were spot on, 3 exhaust pistons were quite off - worst being 3 thou off. So now all inlet are 9, exhaust are 11. Oh and the plugs are all fine. She runs smoother, there seems to be a bit more torque now too! However the only remaining...

Cheers for the wise words Scottish :) After cleaning the ICV I plugged in the diagnostic and reset the ecu and it hasn't come on since (touch wood). It's a LOT less jumpy now but still feels like there's a loss of power especially in the low rev range however the delivery is a lot smoother...

Done the clean and took the car for a spin, it's way better! (for now lol) no jumpyness, idle is 1000 when coasting and 800/850 stood still when warm. The amount of gunk in the ICV was shocking! EML is still on so will have to look into that at the weekend. Cheers for all your advise Loxy...
