    hub flange - same on EP3?

    I‘m replacing the hub bearing + the assembly (flange) it sits in is showing wear (there‘s a ridge). Does anyone know if this part is the same on the EP3? Thanks.

    Heart attack @ price of 4 wheel alignment FRSU

    Went to local tyre place today as had to get my wheels aligned. Anyway, I gave them the print out I got from TGM and told them the settings. Price: £165. I was pretty gobsmacked. I needed the alignment done and didn't have time to check anywhere else so I just paid it. I think it's a...

    Squeaky, squeaky - help :)

    Hey guys, I couple of months back (after having FRSU with Eibachs done) I got some squeaking… first of all it was in slow moving traffic, then the noise kind of transferred to only on right hand turns and ONLY when putting your foot on the gas. The noise is more prevalent when its wet...

    N/S knocking ?

    At first I heard a knocking a while ago only noticeable in slow moving traffic. However, now it seems to have developed into a definite N/S knocking that is only noticeable when turning/cornering right. Any ideas on what this possibly is? Also if it‘s still okay to be driving with it and what...

    FRSU settings?

    Had FRSU done but don't want to have to drive 100 odd miles to have it re-done. Will any laser aligning machine be able to set it up okay? If so, what are the settings I need to be armed with to instruct the mechanic to input? Many thanks. :)

    Fabric tape for black Recaros?

    I posted this is another section but it got no replies. So I'm hoping I'll reach a wider audience! My seat has a couple of very small tears in and instead of replacing the fabric, a friend of mine said that you can use a fabric tape that you apply with a heatgun/hairdryer that will do a good...

    Fabric tape for black Recaros?

    I have a very small hole in the middle of the seat and also foam showing on the right. I had covered it with black electrical tape but it didn‘t stick properly and well was just temporary. I‘ve heard you can get some proper fabric tape – has anyone had any success with this method at all? Cheers.

    Also help regarding forthcoming service :D

    Engine mount?

    Recently my car has developed a strange noise when slowing right down – kind of sounds like my engine rocking… as in a sort of squeeking noise. If I had to say where it was coming from, sounds dead centre of the car in the engine bay area. The car had some poly insert engine mounts a couple...

    Probably been asked a thousand times...

    The only 'performance' mod I have is simply a drop in Mugen filter. Which probably does nothing over OEM apart from the fact you can clean it instead of having to replace it at service intervals. I've been tempted by a few exhausts in the For Sale section. What my question is, is if I got...

    Honda or TGM for a service ?

    Hey chaps… I‘ve been to Tom a couple of times now and he‘s a good guy. Hospitable, friendly etc. However, I‘m due a service soon (will put mine in before service is due actually as I want my discs done). For a ‘regular‘ service, do people on here use Honda? I‘ve looked at old receipts for my...

    What air flow meter does the DC5 use?

    It‘s just I‘ve been told if it‘s a hotwire air flow meter, the oiling of an airfilter can mess it up. Does any one know if the DC5 is a hotwire or flap MAF or a MAP? Thx

    Can someone confirm for me that the DC5 uses the same part number as the EP3 for these? Many thanks.

    OEM suspension is horrible!

    Taking off my Ohlins, the car looks like it's on stilts and it feels really kinda wallowly. The tyres screech a lot more now... is the OEM suspension that poor or is it the fact that the Ohlins coilovers are that good? I'm going to HAVE to get Eibach springs and a camber kit on there. It just...

    Quick oil top up question

    I'm down to the bottom hole on the dipstick (I check on a weekly basis). I have some Mobil 1 'ESP' fully synth 5w-30 which hasn't been opened - only 1ltr of the stuff. Honda did the last service about 6-7 weeks ago, doesn't say what oil they used, just it was synthetic. Would it be okay topping...

    Recommend me springs for my Ohlins?

    Currently running adjustable Ohlins, but not Ohlins springs. I'm not sure on brand, but if I was to guess it would be "rattle out your fillings and skip across the road" brand. Ha. Anyway... can anyone recommend some SOFT/OEM-like springs that will fit my Ohlins adjustable dampers? Cheers guys.

    Vibrating steering wheel ?

    The car is on damper adjustable Ohlins (which are pretty unforgiving!) and I‘ve had the front wheels balanced, however, I‘m feeling a vibration/shaking through the front wheels and feeling every single thing through the steering wheel which is making driving the car pretty uncomfortable at the...

    Speakers

    I‘ve only got the basic front components and none others. However, what are the 2 circles on either side of the dash right near the windscreen? Cheers.
