Tag me too, I want to give this a go as well.. My biting point is quite low, just want to raise it a little

starting out with a scrap piece of aluminium .. I've tapped deeper so I will screw on further too

It's ok now thanks mate.. I'm turning myself a new knob (gear) out of all Ali, similar to the standard one just a little smaller and will screw down a little lower.. I'll take a picture of it when I've finished :)

Any chance you know what tread size the gear stick is ? Is it a 10 mm tread ?

Where about are you ? I'm Manchester.. Not sure where there's any scrap yards, I'm sure I'll find one, I've managed to make a clip at work, which fits where the one I've already got fits, so I just hope there the same on both sides, can't tell yet on the drivers side because the water pipe is in...

Scrap yard run today, just rang Honda and you can't buy that clip, have to buy the full headlight .. Unbelievable.. I'm confident there are plenty of wrapped up civics in scrap yards though haha

Yea, was pretty straight forward once I'd removed the Hids .. Who ever did the convention buggered it up though, proper crap job, all sorted now except one of the steal spring clips are missing, just need to get one, the head light is in place, just not fixed correctly

I am now the proud owner of working headlights !!

Yea that's the missing plug I have, I've just wired the two wires to the part in the picture and its working a treat, the clip is ok, it's a one sided clip.. Thanks for your help mate

Right the wires do light my bulb, but I think the spring clip is broken, it only has one side and half on the other side so all I need to do is secure the build holder and its problem sorted I think, cheers mate, still can't see where the rubber bits fit .. But I'll figure it I'm sure :) panic...

Yea and no worries mate, I'm working to, just making a junction plug to fit onto that.. Waiting for my break to see if the two wires sticking out will light my bulb haha

Yea a big one and small one where do they go ?

Yea I tried but couldn't seem to get it to hold In place, I'll have another go at it, what does that part plug into though ? Is it just another plug that's wired to the loom ?

Or is it the spring clip that holds this in place ?

this is what the bulb fits into, but I've got nothing to fit this to or even hold it in place

Ok, just removed my Faulty HID kit and all I'm left with is two wires and nothing to fit the parts I ordered from Honda.. Rang honda and they said I need the fittings from the wiring loom.. But they don't sell them separately, I'll need to buy a new wiring loom, which are 300 plus 250 fitting...

Sadly I don't have one, so it will most probably be YouTube haha

Cool I'll have a go tomorrow, sorry for the million and one questions pal, thanks again

Cool, you know how to get to the drivers side light, the water pipe is in the way, shall I take the light unit out ?

Which Zenons H1 or H4 Can't really see very well and it doesn't look very straight forward haha, I'll have to see what the connector is like on the things I've ordered

Which Zenons H1 or H4

Which Zenons H1 or H4

Which Zenons H1 or H4 Ooh right, brilliant, thanks for all your help mate, much appreciated, hopefully I'll be able to return the favour sometime ! Peace dude

Which Zenons H1 or H4 You don't know where I can get a wiring diagram from for them do you, I asked honda and they won't let me have one, or is it simply two wires ?

Which Zenons H1 or H4 Damn haha

Which Zenons H1 or H4 Just ordered two direct from Honda, £11. Each, not bad really, picking them up tomorrow, have to look at bulbs now

Which Zenons H1 or H4 That's true, I wanna do it as soon as possible to be honest, because my lights are like disco lights at the moment, which isn't great haha

Which Zenons H1 or H4 Sorted I'm using it !! These white fittings, can you get them anywhere or just honda ? I'll get some ordered today

iPhone app ? I've got one app but I never use it.. I'll have a look now, thanks mate

Ooh I see, luckily I've a facelift model, so that's good.. I'll take some pictures at lunch time (12-30) never uploaded pictures on here, not sure if I can off my phone.. Thanks for all your help mate

I'll have to have a look, not quite sure what's fitted to be honest, taking the kit off won't be a problem, but I'm not sure what I'll need to buy to fit normal bulbs, because these bulbs that are in don't adjust their height, if you know what I mean

Right, just read the legislation on this matter and turns out all HID kits are illegal, my problem is now, there was already a faulty HID kit on my car when I bought it, with no height adjust or washers, so I guess I will have to take the kit off and replace with original headlamps, will I have...

Just realised its xenon not Zenon haha !!

Ooh right, I see, so which kits are actually legal ? Thanks for telling me because I was about to buy some

H4 HI-LOW Beam Xenon Headlamp Conversion Kit 6000k Advanced Model Ultimate Car Parts That's the name on Amazon

Can anyone tell me the right Zenon HID kit to put on an EP3, H1 or H4 ?.. Looking at some on Amazon 35 / 40 quid, reduced from 100.. Details on the products say their the best on the market.. ? Help and advice gratefully received !

Was hoping it was "service required" light haha

Haven't done anything, just turned it on this morning and it was on.. Cheers mate

Engine sounds ok, idles a tiny bit lower than before, anyone know what it could be before having to take it to a garage ? Drives ok to, should I drive it or wait ?

Yea but another thread said be careful because It breaks easily .. I'll keep you posted haha thanks again

Been fighting with the little bugger for ages .. I'll give it another go, but it's driving me nuts ! But thanks mate

Ooh sorry.. V-tec ! Ooh right, thanks guys.. So what's a KPro ? Is it a remap ?

Cheers mate, I've managed to push the cover to the right and it's popped out, but it's just stuck there now, can't get it out or push it back into place, it's to tight inside the boot release unit

Ok, I've managed to get the bulb cover out, but I can't get the bulb cover out enough to get to the bulb, do you need to remove the unit with the boot release and badge on ??? The bulb cover is just stuck inside the unit

Cheers fella !

Haven't got a hand book mate, I would of already looked, but thanks !!

A friend was telling me about one of his mates ep3's. he said he had a v-tech timer, which makes the v-tech come in at 4000rpm.. Does anyone know anything about a V-tech timer, as I've never heard or seen anyone talking about one

How do you get to the bulbs ? Do you have to take the inside of the boot off ?

Yeah I have a Dremel, just looking at the pictures on how to do it now, did you mod the cold air feed as well or just the box ?

Yea just ordered one.. Thanks a lot mate, now to mod the box :)

Does the panel filter go in the air box ?? Is there one made specifically for the ep3 ? Just looked on the website and its just a generic image ..

Is it a big job adding the limited slip diff ? How exactly does it transform the car ? What advantages does it give ? It sounds expensive haha

Now you see, I've just search ITG filters.. And there's a few of them.. Which one ? Haha.. Yes ok.. I'm useless :)

Thanks !!!!.. An ITG filter ? Is that just put into the air box ? .. Would you recommend Cutting away the bits in those pictures to improve airflow ?

Thanks a lot mate, I have been reading most of the forums and I am slightly confused by different information, guess I just want an "personally I'd do this first" type of reply, then I can look at the different ways of doing that.. If you know what I mean .. I'm new to type r's and forums I guess

Ok guys, I've been reading through these posts, replies etc etc.. And basically I'm slightly baffled by information provided, brand names different pros and cons to different mods.. I've recently got my first Type R ep3 .. Sorted the few problems I've posted about on here, so now I've a...

Yea that's the one !! Thanks a lot dude !!!

A few weeks ago I found a guide to cut away the air filter box to improve air flow, i can't seem to find that guide now, any one know where it is, it had pictures of where to cut.. ????

Ooh ! Ok never mind.. Dunno how this works properly yet

No the geo guys just said the front camber can't be adjusted so there is obviously something bent..

Hahaha sorry, cheers dude..

2.12 degrees

All the other wheels are fine.. All lazer measured when you look at that wheel in particular it is well out .. The top edge of the tyre is level with the wheel arch.. When all the other tyres are in buy maybe an inch or half an inch.. The wheel is tilted out

First garrage said its probably the tracking, so they tracked it.. Didn't cure it (I didn't expect it to) they didn't charge me, told me to go to a camber specialist.. So I did, they checked all the wheels and told me only the rear camber is adjustable.. Something must be bent.. But know one can...

No I haven't hit anything, I only bought the car a few weeks ago.. And didn't notice it when checking it out.. It's not been wrote off or anything, no signs of repair on the wing or inner wing.. I suspect it's the ball joint.. But it looks like its part of the hub.. I will take a picture...

Help, front left wheel cambers out at the top, no obvious damage or anything bent, had it inspected by two different garages .. Up on the ramps.. Both say they can't see anything wrong.. I've had a good look myself, possible bottom arm is bent, because I can see two paint cracks, or maybe it's...
