Default Just bought a 03 EP3R - some questions

As the topic says, i just bought a civic R. Now im looking around for some extras for the future.

My wishlist includes:

Mugen Intake
Toda Header
Not sure about what type of exhaust yet, any suggestions?
I like the suspension in the car but i would like the car to be even lower, not much though. Any suggestions?


Also i like the look of the headlights in this Mugen car, any ideas on where to get?

I would also like adresses to the best shops around for EP3 equipment if possible.

Thanks in advance

Ive been told that the header is the same as on the RSX-S, dunno myself, he is supposed to be the expert

At http://www.todaracing.com it says both Euro Civic Type-R and Japanese DC5/EP3

The toda header fits on the ep3 R but you have to change the supension, or the header will knock on the chassis.

Yes, change to the DC5 sway to prevent knock with the Toda header. In terms of the headlights, those became stock on the 04's up and I'm guessing if you live in an area where you can buy EP3R's, check your local classifieds and auctions, but then again you can probably just buy them from your dealership. Good luck, and personally I suggest the Toda header mixed with the comptech exhaust for a hushed sound, or the Espelir exhausts for a racy tone.

Im concidering the mugen, havent heard anything about the apexi though, whats the price, fitting, clearance, price, where to get and so on.

I want good quality and good clearance on the exhaust, soundwise i would like something sporty but i dont want to scare the **** out of everyone and get in trouble with the cops. And nothing raspy/ricey!

Yea they sell the EP3R here in norway, only problem is that there are only 4-6 of them so not much of a market here. Also the prices for parts in the dealerships are stiff as hell. So i guess i have to check out great britain or the us or something.

Cant say the headlights in the mugen civic looks like the ones in the brouchures at Honda but i might be wrong. Also those cheap ones at ebay are ugly as hell if you ask me.

The Toda header comes with a replacement sway bar. Check http://www.kingmotorsports.com it tells you all about it.

actually if you have a EP3 R it will clear with no problems. the EP3 R has the same header as a JDM DC5 R.
