I'm 40mins away just before the Humber bridge :) quite a few Hondas kicking about this area nowadays

Had the same problem last year, squealed abit, did the whole wd40 thing, lasted all of half hour, end result was the bearing was flipped in the pulley so was just spinning causing a crap load of smoke, and shards of metal alover the place, can you not just use a screwdriver or something on the...

Hi guys I was just after some help and no better place to ask, and probably sound like a daft question, but I blew a bulb lastnight and am I right in Thinking jdm's are HIDs as standard? I've been to Honda and they've told me they're £98 for a blub, I was wondering which blub I need to be...

anychance of it been the airbag ring inside of the steering wheel that has snapped? as this happened to me a couple months ago, but also my horn stopped working, then started again then stopped, all fuses checked and where ok, honda qouted me over £200 for a new airbag spring/full airbag unit i...

dont know if i still count as young, but 25 with 7years no claims protected, and im paying 750 fully comp with admiral, on an 02 plate jdm ep3, which is a group 20(i think) or did the grouping system get changed recently??

Hi Honda prob checked this...well :lol: but what about the drop links, as mine are knocking slightly at low speeds and need replacing.

i went out and bought a new converter which i didnt end up needing, if you need it drop me a pm and you can have it "if" i can find it haha, try whipping out them dials and check the connections, might just be a lose one, but it sounds the same symptoms as what i had. Dean

My speedo converter is in the wiring just before the vss, but I had the same problem and it turned out to be a dodgy wiring behind the dials and needed soldering back on :) Dean

yea i think it might have something to do with weather, it was winter time when it happened to mine, i forgot to update this thread, i had the speed sensor changed and it worked for a week then the symtoms came back, mine ended up been abit of bad wiring from behind the dials where it was...

Recaros look in perfect condition

like the idea with the hoses dude, simple but effect, where did you get the hose from if you dont mind me asking and what size was it? Dean

awesome looking milano, uber shiney

Glad you have it sorted mate! Same feeling I had after I'd sorted mine, used to drive me nuts

No problem mate hope it helps, and as griffin pointed out Thers a sticky for the rattling heatshield :smt023

i mate i had the same problem a while back rattling between 3k and 4k when accelerating and soon as i dipped the clutch it disappeared, checked my driveshaft and all botlts were tight, gave them a quick tighten,took her for a test drive and the rattling was still there, so decided to whip it...

I recently replaced my front and rear discs and pads for OEM discs all-round with braided hoses and front ferrodo ds2500 pads and OEM back pads a month ** my MOT as I noticed my handbrake was basically p*ss poor after I had the cable tightened, anyway it didn't cure the problem and had it MOT'd...

when i got my type r they quoted me £1070 with admiral, 23 years old, 5 years NCB, Decent postcode, no points/accidents., got my renewal last month and it a grand so did a quick search and elephant, admirals sister company qouted me £900 with mods declared on an import, so contacted admiral and...

the indicators would have been fitted when the car came into the UK to comply with the SVA test as there not required in japan, as someone pointed out to a while back, maybe wrong like

nice looking JDM fella, looks ten times better without the tacky red tape, definatly would of been my 1st move to get rid :smt023 but each to their own.

RM01A it is then.

I've been looking at an exhaust system as my next mod but with so many on the Market and after months of looking on here and other forums I was still un-decided but after reading this write up I'm defiantly swayed now.

Atleast it's going to be stone chip free. I was thinking my small crack down the middle of my front bumper from a toe bar was bad enough.

cheers pal, job for weekend, hopefully sort the problem out

did you just read my thread by anychance :D

haha i knew someone point the search thing out, soon as i posted it i realised i should of searched it, which came back with heatshield or clutch release bearing, thanks :smt023

hi guys just looking for some advice or solutions really, as over the last month or so when i'm going through the gears from 1st to 3rd i get a little noise sounding like its a vibration or something, quite hard to explain but as soon as i press the clutch and change gear the vibration/rattle...

liking the research you've done on finding the history of ya JDM might have to take a look into that. and on another note the car is looking imaculate as per usual :smt023 , i think its about time updated my thread.

its on cctv anyway so he's not really got a leg to stand on, which clealy shows me reversing and him reversing into me.

yea i suppose it could of been worse but its the whole hassle of getting it sorted and been without a car, and the stone chip is getting sorted next weekend. i watched the cctv footage of him hitting the barrier and it was epic, slamming on and sliding under the barrier,

yea think thats what ill go for, not coming out of my pocket and i want it absolutly perfect :smt023

cheers for the quick reply dude, ill drop them a pm, didnt seem like it was bad when he hit me, nearly cried when i saw the damage eventhough its minimal.

hi guys i had to vent my fustration and how gutted i am somewhere and what better place to vent it with fellow people who regard their type r's as their pride and joy like me, well where do i start i've been after a little run about to get me to work and back for a while now but funds have...

you can definatly pick up an air bag spring cheaper than from honda, i emailed around around some breakers yards off ebay and the cheapest was £30, so im hoping its the same part thats gone on mine anyway haha. good luck with getting it fixed mate and keep me posted on how it turned out, i might...

think mine will fail, because the horn isnt working, so no beeping at sh*tty drivers when i get cut up :p. i think i'd rather get hit by a some air in a bag than fly through the windscreen and face plant the road haha :D i googled it on how to reset the srs light. let me know how you get on mate.

i didnt go to honda but the garage i used only charged me a tenner to have the fault checked, i've not had mine fixed yet as everytime i come to getting it fixed i end up spending the money elsewhere on the car, my lights been on a good few months but seen as the mot isnt due til august i'm in...

my srs light came on and the garage said its the airbag ring in the steering wheel that has snapped, they said there around £200 pound from honda but i've done a little bit of research and found a couple of breakers yards selling them for £30+, but as said above it could be a couple of things...

hi guys i made a thread a couple of weeks ago regarding a problem i had with my speedo not working, well here it goes(this may end up been an eassy) i drive a jdm ep3 and about 6 weeks ago i started having a problem with the speedo, basically doing what ever it wanted for example steady drive...

thats not a bad price, roll on payday. And i play for new holland rangers on a saturday, and barton broncos on a sunday.

might have to check them out then how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?, i'm in scunny alot, the gf lives there and play footy there, i'll give you a beep if i see you :smt023

hi mate im planning on using rasp in grimsby, does most of the work on my car, failing that i might have to take a couple hour drive to TDI north Where in lincs sre you? Dean

Haha, I don't no why its effected my eps though, prob somehow related.

Hi guys Finally had time to have the car checked out so heres a Quick up date on the EML light been on, got the fault codes read today and it was the vss which I think Milanochris mentioned, so good work to you bud, I've got the part on order so be back to it's vtec best next weekend :D so then...

i'm going to take a trip down to the garage on weekend, and get the fault codes read thanks for the replies realy hoping its not going to be an expensive job straight after crimbo aswel,

thanks for the quick reply, how do i re-set the ECU? i'm really hoping the timing chain has'nt stretched :(

hi people, firstly happy new year had a right nightmare drive home from work tonight :mad: firstly i put my foot down in 2nd and at about 4500/5000 revs it seemed to kind of hit limiter and the EML came on :confused: so i slowed down and took it easy from then on, later on i tried tried hitting...

any bets that it does'nt make the noise when the mechanic takes a look, i'm hoping its the fault that suits pointed out earlier in the thread, does'nt seem that major,

^^^^ this has been happening to me when i start the car up, but only when its been cold outside.

thats the one thing i'm shatting myself on is the snow, snow + ice = salt :evil:. might have to invest in a little banger for the winter months.

:lol: must of timed it right taking your holidays when you did, doesnt either just rain or snow in scotland :D.

sweet looking jdm fella, wish i could find a free weekend to get some much needed detailing in before the weather gets even worse

looking good mate, coming along very nicely

i'm undecided what to get, between the GM or try the password jdm, but to me 18.1bhp seems to good to be true, and the hassle of relocating the battery? how much do you reckon shipping cost would be?

the whole package for the password jdm intake is $499, which includes the intake, battery and battery relocator? iv emailed them to see if they ship to the uk which they do, as i was planning on getting one when payday finaly comes around , but it is abit of a f**k about relocating the battery

i've been looking at buying this induction kit and they do ship to the uk, not sure if it gives better gains compared to the GM for the price

cheers mate, i've got to get myself into gear and spend some money on her so i've actuali got something to update :lol:

Not a great fan of the FN2 but i got to agree it does look hot :twisted:, would look better with blue interior i think but just my opinion

haha sorry bud 1 text word out of 16 isn't bad surely :lol:

my names dean mate, i'll be going back there when i need something doing. if its decent weather i might pop down, what was you doing down this way??

sam your red wheels didnt look that bad to be honest when u left work mate

Nice pretty penny spent on her then :) i am a fan of the dc5 but theres a fair few round here, so i thought i'd buy the JDM ep3, i dont think theres many around this area. where abouts you from?? and just oil change, spark plugs, air filter change, iv not got anything major planned for a...

looks better without the indicators but im not complaining :)

hey there mate yea i remember because my missus said she likes yours better, lets just say she nearly ended up walking home haha, i'd just picked the ep3 up from rasp had a service, but yea i agree they did look awesome next to each other, i think you should give me your brembo's haha...

The JDM does'nt come with indicators they where put on by the prev owner, because they are set alot lower down than the UK spec

thankyou for the feedback guys, and i didnt realy notice it been a different white i think it may be my phone camera, i'll be taking some fresh shots on the weekend after a sesh of cleaning :)

hey people im pretty new to this forum so bear with me :lol: but i thought id post some pictures of my recently purchased jdm ep3, so after months and months of searching i found this and picked it up 2weeks ago after a long 10 hour round trip and so far loving every minute of it :twisted...

In white :) and has exedy clutch and flywheel aready fitted, and lowered but im not sure by how much, and yes 1st honda :twisted:

8.5k with 69k on the clock

Thanks, worth every penny

23 and a very recently bought an 02 JDM ep3
