    Electrical problem, fuses, lights and mild annoyance.....HELP?

    On the way home this evening and the light on the speedo etc went out :( Though it was difficult to see my speed, I thought I'd find the fuse diagram in the manual when I got home and replace. It wasn't until I was getting a few flashes of headlights from drivers behind me, that I thought maybe...

    Little advice please.

    I didn't know where to put this topic as it's a weird one, mods feel free to move to somewhere more appropiate if needs be. Is the Mugen gearknob anodised after it's machined? I have started getting a lot of scratches/wear on it and it's starting to look sh!t. I don't wear a ring or any...

    I have a Fujitsubo RM01A backpipe and back box to go on the EP3 and would like to fit it myself (coz I'm a tight wad :lol: ) My question is though what would I need, parts wise, to fit it? I understand I need gaskets, but forgive me for being a bit thick here, but is there a particular size I...

    Help with Alpine Head unit install......please?

    I've seached the best I can but still can't find a difintive answer :( I've recently purchased an Alpine X305s with the bluetooth adaptor and after looking on the 'how to' section found out what I needed to do to get the centre console out, but after doing so realised I couldn't wire it in :(...

    Where's the best place to buy......

    ......the bits I need for my DC5 Brembo brake conversion? I have my braided lines, calipers and fluid but I think I'm right in assuming I need a pair of S2000 discs and some 7mm spacers to make the Oem wheels fit. Where's the best/cheapest/most reliable place to source the discs and...

    Fitting lowering springs yourself?

    Has anyone done this without the aid of a garage? I've bought some and thought, if it's not too hard would I manage this on my own? Scott

    DC5 brembos on an EP3?

    There's a guy selling some of these in the FS section and I was thinking of getting them, but will they fit my EP3? I'm still running the standard wheels but I think I'm going to need new rotors, but aside from that will I need anything else if they are to fit? Thanks, Scott

    Valve clearance issue!!

    Over the last few days the EP3 has developed a slight tapping noise, sort of like an old car if that makes sense? I've removed the 'V-tec cover' and the noise is still there, both when the engine is cold and warm & the oil level is fine. After doing a bit of a search on the forum, I found a...

    Anybody ever used these to protect their alloys?

    http://www.alloygator.com/home.asp Seem like a decent product and look ok, if a bit pricey, but has anyone ever used them & what level of protection do they offer? I know some will say "be more careful parking" but surly everyone has done it......haven't they? :oops: Cheers, Scott.

    Removing rear light clusters on EP3

    Washing and waxing the car last night, I noticed there are little bits of green algae around & inside the edges of the rear light clusters, where the plastic of the light meets the bodywork. Not many people would notice it but it's annoying me knowing it's there :( Do I have to remove the rear...

    Squeeky stiff clutch pedal

    Earlier on today while out for a little drive after being to my old mans house I noticed the clutch pedal, after being depressed just over half way to the floor, felt like it was vibrating. It was fine on my way to his house but after parking up and having a brew, I made my way home and this is...

    EP3 Rear window rubber replacement

    I spoke to Two Mills Honda today about getting my service done and inquired about the split rubber seal under the rear window on my EP3. He put me through to parts and the dude there said he didn't have a time come up on his comp, to give a cost for fitting. The part is 21 quid but he said he...

    Fitting JDM wind deflectors help please.

    I took delivery of these the other day and got round to fitting them yesterday, only to find out they're a pig to fit with the clips and tape supplied. I managed to fit them but they're not completely flush around the outside of the door/top of window. Is this normal or are they supposed to...

    If replacing a clutch is fitting an LSD worth it?

    As a few of you might know, on the last service receipt for my Prem EP3, it had an advisory for the clutch, but although I'm not having any issues changing gear or any clutch issues in general, I was thinking of getting it swapped out at my next service for a new one. Would anyone say this was...

    Vague feeling steering under hard acceleration

    Went for a bit of a drive earlier this evening, just for something to do and to have a good drive of the car I've only had for a week.Though when I left the roundabout onto a slip road which joins the M53, I gave it some beans to get up to speed to merge onto the motorway. I then noticed under...

    Clutch replacement!

    Sorry Mods if this has been posted numerous times, but I did try the search but it came up with nada! :( How much does this cost? Can considerable cash be saved from getting it fitted at TDi North (prob my nearest specialist) rather than Honda? At what mileage is it normal/common for it to go...

    Rear window seals on an EP3

    I have the oppurtunity to bag a bargain on a v low mileage Cosmic Prem, but I noticed the rubber around the bottom of the rear window has started to split a little. It's around the outer edge of the seal so it's not leaking water or anything but I just wondered how much it'd be to replace? As...

    Worth modding a standard EP3 to premier?!

    As the title suggests is it worth the hassle/cost to mod a standard EP3 to 'look' like a prem? Know anyone who has? I'm pretty sure there's not but are there more than cosmetic changes over a the standard car? Cheers, Scott.
