Love it!! lol Bet its loud as foooook!

So a decat makes it pop flames? :o You got oem mani? Full straight through?

Since when did Type R's pop flames? How did you achieve that?

Is that an actualy price you just got off Chris?

Yeah that would definately pull in some business for him.. as he seems decent and prices are competitive.. Ill be spending my 365+ on some Eibach lowering springs, camber arms, front bolts and a FRSU.. I will have to give him a ring to see how he compares with ABP labour costs.

Yeah this is pretty much exactly how mine drives... I lift the clutch half an inch, maybe an inch and it starts to creep forward slowly.. I have had no problems with gear changes so looks like mine is healthy for now... although will keep a close eye on it.. Rossy thanks for you help and I...

My biting point is low.. im not sure how low 'too low' in meant to be? What would be a 'safe' mesaurement that the clutch should travel before reaching biting point?? Also further to this.. my ep3 does not struggle with any gear changes, unlike my old ep2 which DID struggle intermittently and...

Ahh ok who can clear this up then as now its all a little confusing.. Low Biting Point - To reach biting point you lift the clutch half an inch, maybe 1 inch... (low travel) High Biting Point - To reach biting point you life the cluch 3-4 inches... (high travel) Which one would indicate early...

As people have said the mark they tend to go are 60-70k.. Mines just over 66k and the biting point is very low compared to my old ep2.. I barely lift my foot and it's already biting to go.. I'm going to change mine fairly soon just for peace of mind.. Atleast then it's done! ;)

£640 for a Quaife LSD is a bit out of my price range.. May have to take a miss on that :( Thanks for the info

What LSD's do you guys recommend for an ep3? And how much do these go for? Also do these make a massive improvement on cornering?

Just spoke to Chris now, he seems sound! Quoted me £200 cash for the labour and is seeing if he can source the Exedy OEM Clutch cheaper than the above link off ebay. You use these guys much Rossy?

Bicester is about an hour away, Houghten Regis only down the road from me so I will try Griffin's mechanic first and see what labour costs this Andy comes up with first.. Rossy, is your contact private or business run?

Your a star mate cheers!!! Thats the exact clutch kit I found.. nice work! :smt023 Just gave them a ring but theyre shut, will try again after christmas and let you know how I get on.. Sam

Hi Griffin just had a good read of your thread, very helpful mate cheers!! In the first thread you said you spent £365, did you source the clutch yourself and get TGM to fit it? If so, any links to the exact clutch would be very helpful! I see your in Luton aswell mate.. Im gathering you own...

Thanks for confirming that mate! Seen an Exedy OEM Clutch Kit from Tewiga Imports.. £155 plus postage.. as I wont be wacking a turbo on I think this would suffice..

Yeah if someone in the know how knows if these can be adjusted on the ep3 then please let me know.. ;) Thanks for your help Rossy Sam

Damn I was hoping for better news.. Ok mate cheers for the help! Would the standard OEM clutch be a suitable replacement or is it worth upgrading to an aftermarket one? Im not looking to go OTT with power gain mods, so maybe the OEM would be the cheaper option?

Its a 54plate done just over 65k... Biting point really low, are the clutch's hydraulic or cable? Is it a case of adjusting it or does this sound like a new clutch is gonna be needed? Cheers Edit- no history, car has been sound!

Actually just seen this topic.. does this mean my clutch is on the way out? I thought adjusting this so the biting point is higher would solve the problem? http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?69144-very-low-clutch-biting-point

Hi all, my clutch needs adjusting as the biting point is too low down, as in I barely lift the clutch and the car is already at biting point.. Are we able to adjust the clutch on ep3's? I know its usually a straight forward job just wondering if anyone else has come across this? The clutch...

The gear gaitor ain't too bad but I couldn't see myself changing my handbrake cover.. although it's not my car :smt023 The modding bug gets everyone! :twisted:

Mate I thought this being a new owner to the Milano ep3 aswell.. that soon changed!! Cars looks spot on mate! Standard ep3 ftw!

Cheers guys :smt023 Couple weeks a go I followed a guide on here on how to refurb your gear knob.. worked a treat!! Think the polished look suits the interior better than the brushed effect.. VERY easy to do only took 20mins although if I spent a bit more time on it, the result would have...

Cheers Dave! Yeah I was always out giving it a good scrub, only thing with the black is you could see every little minor stone chip on the bonnet.. Think the Milano hides them well ;) Love your milano mate! Been perving on your thread quite a bit :p

Thought I would start a build thread as i've been here a little while just browsing and doing lots and lots of fun research! :smt101 This is my 3rd Civic now, had 2 ep2's which were fun but eventually got bored of the power.. First was a Vivid Blue and then a NHB.. Heres my previous NHB ep2...

Just for anyone looking to get the HID conversion I highly recommend LeeH on this forum! Got my hids the other week at a very good price but haven't been able to fit them yet as they're meant to be a Christmas present..

I have heard the Spoon n1 backbox with the BUNG installed creates back pressure when you lift off the throttle which results in a loud POP. Has anyone ever experienced this with the spoon or any other setup?? Basically, im after a setup that pops and bangs but not sure what brand or...

Lee mate you need to delete some of your inbox, wont allow me to send a message. 'LeeH has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.'

Looking good mate.. like everyone else has said get the standard back on or even a spoon n1 backbox..

If you got a spare working side light then pop one of them in and see what happens.. only take 2 mins ;)

Think ill deffinately be getting them then.. look spot on! Cheers mate :smt023

Youtubes your best bet... make an account and upload.. can upload straight from your phone if you have an iphone..

Anychance of a video of this? Would love to hear her popping.. Cars looking good mate! Love the matt black ;)

Car is coming along nicely mate.. spent a few bob I see.. What hids did you go for? 35w/55w? 6000k/8000k? Tried searching through your thread but theres so many pages :smt017

Yeah they are nice motors! Good runners too well over 100k.. But decided against as running and maintenance costs such as tyres and new parts would cost the earth over the ep3.. I heard the rear tyres are about £200 each :|

Is that your e46? I was looking at getting one of these but a 330ci sport before deciding on the ep3..

Pictures would be a great help mate! ;)

Cheers for the help Lee.. I look forward to receiving my kit and getting it fitted hopefully this weekend! Will get pics up too for everyone interested in your 55w 6000k kits.. :) Sam

6000k seems to be what most people go for.. think I will do the same tbh.. Great images mate ;)

They look like 501 fitment.. if they are then these 4x LED sidelight are the best ones around.. Only ever seen them in halfords too but they give a true bright white light instead of a couldy glare like most other 501's around...

Cheers for that I will do that now ;) Think I prefer the prices of HIDS-Direct over HIDS4U

I should be alright as regards to MOT as I kinda know the fella that works there.. Did you guys go for the 35w or 50w hid kits?

Yeah they are pretty bad mate.. Think I will upgrade the standard headlights first and then see how much these improve.. Cheers

I do a lot of countryside driving at night and find im using the foglights more than the full beam as this doesnt dazzle oncoming drivers.. So when my H1 dipped beam HID conversion is installed I will have 'yellow' foglights.. Chris I mean the actual front fogs

Are they the 501 fitment?

Been looking for comparison pictures of the OEM 4300k look over the 6000k option. Could you tell me what most of the honda drivers among us use and post pictures if you can be bothered.. :D Also did you opt for the 35w or 50w HID kit?

Now before anyone tells me to use the seach facility to find existing threads, I already have and after 10 minutes looking through various posts I found nothing :( Im looking to convert my foglights to HIDs but wanted to know if its a simple plug and play job like the headlight conversion? Has...
