I bought a wheel :) PS: Came with the rest of the car too :D ________________________________________________________ EDIT: Right I should probably introduce the car a bit better than "hey I bought a wheel" lol. Since I am documenting this build on another forum I will try my best to...

Hello all and welcome to another build thread of mine. This will not be as significant or in-depth as the EP3, simply because the car is new, but I will try to provide as much content as possible :) So then, the car. Why a Hyundai? - Fun factor - Looks - Rarity - Price to performance ratio...

With all the work recently done to my car it has made it feel and drive like new, but one thing has been made apparent and that is gearbox noise. I have no problem changing gears at any RPM and the box feels great when cold too, it has had a fluid change and an additive which has helped with the...

Has anyone here got one of these installed? If so I am looking for feedback in regards to feel and smoothness of gear changes. I am in the position where I will either go for an OEM assembly as mine has seen better days (massive play) or go the Buddyclub route. I had a Tegiwa/MJC short...

As per title, do I only need the lights along with their bulb holders for a plug & play experience or is there more to it? Found a set for a ridiculously low price that already had them, so wanted to ask before I pull the trigger.

What is currently the best intake for gains and sound? I am not sure if I want to keep the Tegiwa and have been looking at the Injen CAI as it seems to be very well rated. Is that still the case and are there any downsides?

Looking to buy a full set of engine mounts for the EP3. Am I right in thinking that there are only 4 in total? As per this: So far the best price I can find is on japserviceparts, seems to beat Tegiwa and Cox by quite a bit. Anyone know of another source before I pull the trigger on...

So it's come to light that my steering rack is the culprit of the constant knocks when going over potholes and upon stop/start at junctions. Tie rod ends seem to have a bit of a play in them and I bet the rack slider is in no top notch shape either. So with that said, I plan on replacing the...

Looks like mine is on it's way out. What options are there and what have people gone for ? I see a lot of used units for the £40 mark on the bay of fleas, is it worth going for genuine used one or a brand new aftermarket for £90 ? Can the genuine ones be refurbished? Cheers

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed before but after a lot of searching I cannot find a definitive guide/answer. I know by default the FN2 seats dot not fit the EP3 as the rails require modifying. Then there is also the fact that the plastic at the bottom of the seats will slightly...

Took the car for a nice long drive today and noticed that the steering wheel doesnt' seem to self-centre after letting go of it. It could be a light turn or a full 90 degree makes no difference. Is this "normal" and another trait of EP3s or is it an issue? My DC2 never had this and after some...

Does anyone know what percentage of a tint the Premier edition EP3s have?

So I have my FRSU booked in for next week so it's now a good time to get my ride height to the desired level. What is the best/correct way of measuring the distance to lower the car by? I watched a few videos on this and using the centre cap to the start of the arch seems common? I will be...

Hello, I am in need of some top mounts for my car, ideally replacing them all around. Now I found the front left and right from TEGIWA: http://www.tegiwaimports.com/genuine-honda-front-shock-top-mounts-civic-ep3.html But I can't find the rears anywhere. Could you guys point me to a link of...

I will be re-doing the ride height of my car over the weekend and getting the geo done sometime next week, so before I do that I was wondering what spacer size would be ideal on the stock wheels. The front's don't seem too bad, but the rears definitely need to be pushed out. I found an old...

Hello everyone and welcome to my EP3 Type R journal/restoration thread. So before we get into it here is a bit of background on the cars I used to own. My first car was a 2001 Golf MK4 1.6i SE 5dr, I got it when I was 19 for around £1800 with 60k on the clock. The insurance for it at the time...

Right, thought i'd start a new thread about this since it is something I have to deal with fairly soon. I currently have the following exhaust configuration: Stock Manifold > Stock Cat > Cobra B pipe (looks to have a silencer but feels like it's seen better days) > Toda Ti Dolphin Tip Now...

I know there is a few threads floating about of people suggesting what to get before a map, but they are mainly aimed at people who are throwing ridiculous sum their cars. So my question is this, What do you need/expect to get out of a remap on the following: - Tegiwa M Carbon Induction -...

I am going to see a pretty well sorted EP3 this upcoming week which is at 100k miles. It has some very tasteful modifications and full specialist service history, so all in all a good car. Price wise it's £3720 including new MPS4 tyres. I couldn't help but notice this on Gumtree this morning...

The car I am going to be picking up this weekend has a Toda Ti Catback installed. How good is this exhaust in terms of gains/noise? I know it's not very loud which is good but is it good quality? Also the only downside I can see is that it's the dolphins tail version (aka it points down) and...
