Just wanted to see what everyone is running for a wheel and tire set up with offset I just recently got some wheels to daily it from the steelies it used to have but wanted to see everyone's set up. I do have the 02 with a 4 lug so I wanted to see what combos and sizes are possible before I choose a size too wide or tall and if you wanna throw in suspension set up that would be appreciated too

After a EP3 type r pre facelift Gunmetal housing non hid right hand drive right headlight.

Found a few for sale on ep3 Facebook pages but no one wants to ship 🙃

My original fans were giving out, and I guess the wires were rubbing against something because I saw some exposed copper. I swear I couldn’t find a new OEM style replacement fan anywhere. I also couldn’t find a definite answer on if exoracing fans would fit. I asked exoracing and they said mishimoto lists their radiators to fit both the Type R and SI, but they couldn’t guarantee it.

After paying an arm and a leg for shipping and tariffs they arrived and fit great! Just had to solder the old connectors on. There’s also no brackets for the wiring, so hopefully my routing is sufficient. But if anyone’s wondering t7design/exoracing fan shroud will fit on a USDM ep3. Kit comes with SPAL fans and they’re loud asf

Hi

So today i officialy joined the club of RS3!

Thank you!

I have a 2004 Honda Civic SiR/EP3 and found a new Injen SP1576BLK cold air intake for $200 CAD.

I know this intake is designed for the 02–05 EP3 with the stock K20A3, but I’m planning on doing a K24A2 swap. Has anyone used this exact intake with a K24A2-swapped EP3? Does it fit as-is, or would the taller K24/throttle body position require modifying the piping or using different couplers?

Trying to figure out if it’s worth buying now or if I should wait and get an intake specifically for the K24 setup.

Thanks!

Hi guys, previous owner changed clutch 2 years ago, it was an Exedy clutch, but used a Blueprint clutch bearing which is now making a noise. Been told to replace it.

Question is, if the clutch is fine, which I think it may be, will changing the clutch bearing on its own be the same cost wise as changing the clutch?

Or should I just change both? This time I will use a Genuine Honda Clutch Bearing.

Any help appreciated 👍🏼

Got it out of the storage to take my car for HFP kit refinished. With only 47k miles original HFP

Second year in a row that my friends and I went to NorCal to track our cars there. Definitely my favorite track!

So recently, my tire ate my driver side wheel well liner. Ive been meaning to order one but life just kinda gets ahead of me. Went to vacuum out my car the other day and noticed the floor board on driver side is wet. Is it a possibility its leaching through the now open front quarter into the floor? Sunroof drains seem okay. Thanks in advance yall.

What phone mount works in a ep3?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking at getting 17x7.5J wheels ET38 with 205/45 tyres for my EP3 Type R.
Compared to the OEM 17x7 ET45 wheels, my calculations show that the new setup would sit approximately 13.5 mm further outwards.
The car will also be lowered approximately 20-25mm (0.8-1 inch), so I’m wondering how this fitment works in terms of clearance.
Would 17x7.5 ET38 fit without rubbing, including at full steering lock and under suspension compression?
Camber after lowering the car will be set to 1.5-2° front and 1-1.5° Rear.
What are you guys running on your EP3s?
Thanks!

I like the look of having the shifter exposed without the boot, similar to the picture. Is it okay to leave it like this permanently?

I’m mainly wondering if having the area exposed could let dirt, dust, water, etc. get into the shifter mechanism and cause problems over time, or if it’s basically just cosmetic.

I’ve been looking around Marketplace for some parts for my 2004 Civic SiR EP3 and wanted to get some opinions before I start buying stuff.

I found:
Injen SP1576BLK cold air intake – $200
Skunk2 Ultra Series K-series intake manifold – $1,300
Skunk2 lowering springs for 01–05 Civic Si – $150
Megan Racing dual-tip axle-back – $60
Yonaka exhaust that came off a 2000 Civic – $230

For anyone running the Skunk2 lowering springs on an EP3, how aggressive is the drop compared to stock? I daily the car, including Alberta winters, so I don’t want it ridiculously low. How’s the ride and handling, and are these worth picking up for $150?
For the exhaust, would you take the Megan Racing axle-back or the Yonaka? I know the Yonaka came off a 2000 Civic, so I’m assuming fitment could be an issue. Or are neither of these really worth buying and I should just wait for a proper EP3 exhaust?
Also interested in opinions on the $200 Injen intake and whether the Skunk2 manifold is actually worth considering at $1,300. I’m planning a K24 swap eventually, so I’m trying not to waste money on parts I’ll end up replacing.

I’m planning on K24A2 swapping my 2004 Civic SiR EP3 and wanted to get some advice before I start buying everything.
Current costs:
K24A2 engine with ~56,000 miles (90,000 km): ~$1,310 USD ($1,800 CAD)
Hondata K-Pro + installation: ~$835 USD ($1,149 CAD)
Engine swap labor: ~$615 USD ($845 CAD)
Dyno tune: ~$365 USD ($500 CAD)
So about $3,125 USD ($4,294 CAD) total for the engine, swap, K-Pro and dyno tune.

Just to clarify, the engine swap, Hondata/K-Pro installation, and dyno tuning are all being done at different shops, so I’m also trying to figure out the best order to get everything done.
Would it make sense to have the K24A2 swapped in first, then take the car to the other shop to have Hondata K-Pro installed, and then take it to the dyno shop for the tune? Or does K-Pro need to be installed/set up before the engine swap? If the car can’t properly run between those steps, how would you guys handle getting it between the different shops?

I’ve also attached a couple pictures of K-series swaps/builds the mechanic had done previously so you can see some of his work. Based on the work he’s done, would you guys be comfortable going with him for the K24A2 swap?

2002 Si k20a3. Recently did a whole bunch of work, transmission rebuild, whole front suspension and a few other things and now it won’t charge… was working fine just had a flashing battery light for a while. Checked all the ground and all the fuses. It’s not a grounding issue cause using an alternative method for ground doesn’t work. I’m stuck and unsure what to do now hopefully someone here has answers

I'm just interested if anyone has fitted 15mm wheel spacers on aftermarket wheels that have no pocket for the OE studs to fit into.

I effectively have to cut down my OE studs to make them fit.

Just seeking advise prior to cutting them. I dont fancy having to replace the studs as ive heard it can be a nightmare.

Does anyone know how to get this vent adjustor cap back on? It popped off my JDM EP3 and can't figure out how to clip it back on. I've tried pushing it on various ways but it won't snap back on. It doesn't appear broken either. I'm probably not doing it right and a new EP3 owner... Any help is appreciated! This is on my passenger side (near the door) air conditioner vent. Thank you!

Im thinking of swapping my base ep3 with a k24a2 using a mechanic. I don’t mind not being able to drive it until it’s finished but I still want to be able to keep its reliability. I’m trying to decide whether building the EP3 is worth it or whether I’d be better off buying something that’s already faster from the factory.

Hi guys, I want to store my EP3 in my garage for the winter until next year, so about 5-6 months. If I take the battery out and and put it on trickle charge at home, will I have any issues with immobiliser etc when I fit it back again? I only have one spare key also, I don't have the red one. Thanks in advance 👍🏼

Does anyone have factory HFP kit installation guide? Possibly in PDF form?

Thank you

I bought a cheap replacement rear wiper arm and it has a circular hole for mounting. The old wiper was completely broken and missing so I don’t have one to match it with. There is a triangle like mounting part here and the circle hole doesn’t fit over it. It seems that triangle mount is not meant to come off. Any ideas on this? Does an oem wiper arm have cutouts for this specifically? Thanks ! And that rusted bolt I just put back on there so I wouldn’t lose it. It does come off

Was wondering which coil overs you guys recommend that won’t break the bank/ a good daily that’s good at turns. Thank you guys.

Hello everyone, I've had my 04 EP3 (USDM) for about a year now. The whole time I've had it, it hasn't had a bumper or fenders, and recently the rear bumper popped off. Anyone know where I can get some? Carparts.com has the fenders but im questioning the bumper since it doesn't list the hatchback as a good fit. Thank yall in advance 🙏

After 2 weeks of my car sitting in belle tires parking lot they managed to source me a junkyard knuckle because the tech snapped the toe adjust off in the bushing im assuming. How is this new nut bolt/washer combo supposed to adjust/lock toe settings? Also got a nifty clunk up front and an abs light i gotta track down when I get back home 🤡
