Only a tiny amount of copper grease used to stop squeaking like my last set on the other EP3. Also will be looking into a wheel refurb soon as well, as the fronts are pretty bad.

Thanks :D

I've got Bremtech grooved discs on the front with Stoptech pads and Goodridge braided hoses. It's an awesome setup, I can litterally stop on a frozen pea! :cool:

Brake stopper = w**k! IMO of course!

Few new bits arrived from Honda -

When Stevie fitted my bushes to the front ARB, we noticed it was abit damaged, so ive ordered two new brackets along with new bolts.

Ive also ordered new nuts for the top of my front suspension, some new screws for the bit that atttaches the arch liner to the wing and the plastic gromit they screw into.

The nuts for the top of the front struts are only 1p each from Hondaoriginalparts!! BARGAIN

Nice car but you went OTT with the red bolts IMO. The ones on the rocker cover looked well and maybe even the wings? But too far with manifold and slam pannel. But its not my car, just what i think :) Other than that it looks really nice mate.

There's usually some kicking about on the Honda forums.

Where do you guys get aftermarket parts from, like who are the Honda versions of ktec?

Also what's it like importing parts from Japan lots of extra costs involved?

Overnight parts from Japan? LOL, its really expensive, delivery, import tax etc bump the costs up. So you cant just buy like a sticker, as the delivery and duty etc is like £25

loads and loads of places in the uk, like more than you can shake a stick at, one benefit of Honda is the aftermarket parts that are available.

For Aftermarket stuff, Theres Funky Power, Tegiwa, V-Tec Direct, Eightspeed etc and If You fancy a laugh, Tougue Distribution. I still lok at brake kits that cost more than my Car :)

You seriously can change every single part, the tuning is endless.

I have contacts in Hong Kong and China, I was getting around 50-100 parcels a month through them without a penny import tax, Japan seems a diferent kettle of fish though!

Tegiwa are good imo. It's all copies of original products for half the price of the genuine parts. Not sure how they get around copywrite laws to be honest!

Wrong, not only are they ripping off other designs the fitment of there stuff is shite. Have a look on Honda forums and there's endless amounts of hate.

Most people who use Tegiwa don't even know they're not original products. :(

I've never had a problem with their products to be honest. I've got their airbox, manifold and short shifter and it appears to be good quality stuff. I did say "imo" :cool:

I think a Tegiwa induction kit is expensive, so funk knows how much a Gruppe M is!

Sod that for an induction kit! I'd rather spend the money on some Rotas lol.

Yeah... I bet if I bought a Tegiwa and Rotas instead of their expensive counterparts I'd have saved myself a small fortune!

As for people moaning about fakes, who gives a toss? People copy CD's and DVD's all the time, for some people buying fake/imitation stuff is the only way they can afford things. We're not all moneybags, especially Clio and Civic owners!

Agreed. I think with the Jap scene its all about bragging rights etc.

Didnt really bother me, as the Tegiwa is an awesome air filter, and its a copy of one of the best (apart from the CAI) so it cant be bad :)
