Well of course, but were on about the fuel usage of Type R's matey.

Lol
I can't help but think that either the EP3 has a really small fuel tank or you lot just have heavy right feetAn average 45 litre fill will normally last me ~320 miles.
Mine seems to have settled down to between 300 and 340, depending on hoon factor. I'm sure a taller 6th would net me a good saving though.
That could quite easily be a wheel bearing, they can go on for many thousands of miles making a noise with no other effects.
Sounds like a typical CTR knuckle dragger driver

It's been making the noise for 25K+, but I suppose I can't rule it out. The weird thing is it's not got any worse over those miles.

Off topic slightly
My K20A3 disagrees with you. Motorway@ 70 with cruise control on is definately higher than that. Real world tends to be 42-45 with indicated being as high as 48. I get 35 measured/real world on my normal a road blast to work and I work the full rev range every drive; indicated being 38. Recently averaged 38 on a run to Devon from Chichester.

Fair play. It is probably due to the longer gearing than in typical boxes attached to the K20. I'm talking more about the performance orientated K20 series engines such as the K20A, K20A2 and K20Z2, K20Z4 etc etc..

Not strictly Vtec either, more I-vtec. Only has it on the exhaust cam and kicks in at 2400rpm
and as you say 5 speed I really wanted an EP3 but wasn't allowed due to kids and number of doors *grumbles*

Yep you are right, don't know why I thought exhaust - doh. And yep on the I-VTEC; am sure I have heard it mentioned as E I-VTEC or something similar before. No oil squirters either apparently.

right then, as I needed to sell the K&N Typhoon that came fitted to my car, I decided to put my stock airbox on for the time being.
the K&N can be sold online and funds go towards a GruppeM/TegiwaM intake.
The stock airbox would not have been allowed so I got my Dremel out and cut the inside of the airbox out.

20 minute job, well easy and ideal for anyone not looking to change the stock airbox
car sounds a lot quieter than it did with the open cone and there is no noticeable vtec crossover noise wise, but power seems to be about the same really. will see how it progresses when I have had a proper drive in it rather than just a quick blat around the country lanes I live on

Tour d'Ecosse 2012, What a Weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Im sure I saw you guys on the A82 near Glencoe on the Saturday or Sunday of last weekend. Cant remember which day as I went down the road both days. Saw the 911 also.
oh good, im in the right place talking about the right car then
admittedly those 100 miles were mostly on the motorway and a few drives to and from work on country roads in traffic which didnt allow much fun... but you must be driving the absolute breasticles off of them to be getting low 20's
