    Newbie jap owner engine mount question

    Innovative are quite popular too and are available in either steel or aluminium. They can be bought in several different compounds for street/race etc. Also heard of people running Avid mounts but know little about them. Welcome btw.

    Who has my old DC5 ?

    I thought you'd be back at some point! Yes I did what was always the unthinkable and sold up. Just had no time for it lately and had to cut down on outgoings for taking voluntary redundancy at the end of the year. Didn't realise you were in the states, what are you up to? Hope it's going well :)

    Not really a newbie but i am back in a Teg after many years away

    Best of luck with her Mark. Removing all of that sound proofing will give you just a small idea of my efforts on this car :P Have to say that shifter looks so much better like that! Keep the updates coming mate and keep in touch. You just never know, I could want to buy her back in future to...

    Flywheel options

    I replaced mine with the competition clutch ultralight flywheel as TGM had them in stock while I was getting my clutch done. Lighter than OEM and works well. Not overly expensive from memory either. Somewhere in the £200 - £250 region I think?

    Changed Gearbox Oil, Is this Normal???

    Looks about right to me to be honest. Gears wear no matter how careful you are unfortunately. They are only tiny filings.

    moving on ...

    I've not had much interest mate. To be honest though it's always a buyers market and if they aren't in a rush they can wait for someone whose desperate to sell and willing to drop a lot of the asking price. This thread is evidence of that!! I've put way too much effort in to mine to let it go...

    dc5 inner CV joint

    Another option: http://shop.mcgautostyling.com/insane-shafts-hi-performance-driveshaft-axle-right-for-honda-integra-type-r-dc5-is-066.html Obviously these are all pairs but from experience if one is weak then the other isn't far behind failure

    dc5 inner CV joint

    Have a look at these Jim: http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import-axles/honda/integra-jdm-edm/dc5-2002-2006/honda-2002-2006-dc5-integra-type-r-jdm-edm-basic-axle-level-0 Works out as £210 for the pair. Obviously there's some postage and customs to add but I can talk you through that if you like...

    dc5 inner CV joint

    I find it crazy how there is still no definitive answer to this when you think I had this problem 3 years ago and it seems so many companies still can't get their act together and be clear about what's for an ep3 and what fits a DC5. I found it so frustrating back then to eventually have to give...

    Is it just my luck

    As said above a TF change makes a world of difference and while some recommend Motul and a few others (which I've not tried) I have had 3 different types in my box during ownership and none beat MTF3 for me. I tend to change this on every other engine oil service so typically every 2 years. 2nd...

    Annoying Rattle..Spoiler?

    You could always remove the spoiler for a test run? Only takes 2 mins to remove. A quick drive up and down the road would help rule it out. There is a sponge type material between the spoiler and boot panel designed to soak up vibration so perhaps this has worn a little?

    Was there some thing going on today?

    Also we had sunshine today so it could have just been that? :D

    Getting a spare key???

    As Jimmer said, any key cutting service will do. I ordered a blank from Honda just for OCD reasons and took it in to Timpsons. Works fine. There is no code on a pfl key. A code is held on a chip for which it has none. As said, any appropriately sized key would work. Perhaps this is what he...

    Change Interior Bulbs Without Honda

    Not sure how it works tbh but I'm running quite a few LED's interior and sidelights without an issue? I thought resistors were only for cars where they flag a warning on the dash when a bulb goes? I have absolutely no idea about electrics though. Having said that I think a bulb gives off better...

    Change Interior Bulbs Without Honda

    Pretty sure you can replace these with eBay LED jobbies too. They normally come in sizes like T4, T3 etc. I replaced the ones in my heater dials which are a similar design. Good effort though!

    Best websites/places for parts?

    Visit your community yesterday at Japfest

    Would love an ek9 myself James. There was one on track yesterday embarrassing an Audi S4 amongst others and I just love how something so small can hold its own so well with cars twice its size. I'm with Rom too. As much as the B18 should have been the engine this car came with, taking the...

    Crank pulley / crank bearing noise

    Yes the tensioner should move. It's when it doesn't you have problems. It's probably not the water pump but worth checking as mine was starting to feel like it was squeeking when I turned it by hand. They aren't expensive. No more than about £40 for a blueprint part I don't think. A real pain...
