Olly makes the interior of his EP3 Type R feel far more modern with the install of a new Acuity Shift Knob, Suede Shift Boot, LED Dial Bulbs and a Hazard Light Bulb. Acuity were kind enough to send out their new Poco Insulated Gear Knob. Acuity claim that you will feel a 10-15% shorter feel when shifting between gears due to the countersunk design that allows the Gear Knob to sit much lower. That, paired with the Black suede with red stitching of the new shift boot, really updates the look and feel of the gear stick area on the Hot Hatch. Olly also realised that the bulb behind the Hazard switch was blown so he went to his local Honda dealership to pick up an OEM replacement. The orange lights behind the dials make the car feel dated and with a switch out to some LED bulbs and the removal of the tinted film on the back of the dial. This transforms the look of the dials and ties them in nicely to the double din head unit with Apple CarPlay.

I legit love you! Yours is the only channel I’ve ever found where you actually own an ep3, you take care of it, and everything you’ve done with it has stayed classy 👌 I’ve had mine since 2010, and up until recently, I couldn’t keep it covered. I’m in the southern part of the US where it’s mega hot and humid. I could cry seeing what the sun and moisture has done to my poor car. This was my childhood dream car and it was MINT when I bought it 😩 I’m going to do all of this to mine now that I have a carport. Please never stop uploading 🙌🏻

[@OllyRoss]

Wow! Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying the content! Glad to hear you are a long term owner too! I hope that I can give you some ideas of what to do with yours!

[@jayb9454]

Olly you have a lot of patience and the video quality and explanations are top notch.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! I am glad it doesn't go unnoticed!

[@MNJLLC]

I just ordered the bulbs for mine as well they were only lighting about what yours was. As I use mine for delivering newspapers at night I really needed this so was a very helpful video appreciate it!!

[@OllyRoss]

Nice one! Well I am glad this was able to help you out!

[@Jahmed5635]

Nice to see you still uploading man, would be nice too see a road trip in the civic, only KZbinr to get straight into a video too 😂

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Glad you are still watching! I may try and plan some things for this year. I guess it depends on fuel prices though! Haha! Yeah, I guess I don't have anything else to plug at this point in time! Haha!

[@fewhavestrength]

cheers Olly for another great vid 👍🏻

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks again!

[@timscheuermann2554]

I like the oem boot has that 80s kinda look

[@garage3717]

Nice videos!! Greetings from Slovakia.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

[@liamkaizen4785]

Going to do some of these bits to mine 👀

[@OllyRoss]

Oh yeah!? 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@connerjmcl]

what head unit you using? and did you need an installation kit

[@thebanditsix]

I replaced some blown bulb's behind the speedometer and rev counter,very easy job.

[@parthic7743]

How its that easy? :D

[@OllyRoss]

That is good to know incase I end up doing it too!

[@Diamondblend]

did you go led? or which ones?

[@thebanditsix]

@@Diamondblend standard bulb's.

[@RuNRiOt100]

How you getting on with the acuity gear knob after a year of using it. Going to upgrade mine from stock looking at this or the we are like wise thicc boi. Happy new year mate keep up the good work 👍

[@OllyRoss]

I really like it. The only thing I have found weird is, when driving another EP3 now… it feels so wrong because every gear feels like it’s in a different position! Haha!

[@mixmasterpax]

I love your center console glossy wrap. Did you wrap it yourself? 🍺🤙

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! It is actually Hydrodipped but I got it as part of a bundle with other parts off someone on Facebook so I don't know where it got done

[@normanyokotaampie4122]

Nice video and a super duper car dude! Which touchscreen model you bought for your ep3?

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Appreciate it! I actually have a completely separate video for the touchscreen that should answer your question! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2ObeWSXgayMhrs

[@c0nn0rj0yce2]

Got any info on the double din screen?

[@matasaukstuolis4966]

Bit late i guess to comment onto the video, im wondering they way you were saying about the film piece in the knobs that change the led colour, im wondering if there is a film like that on the cluster/speedometer. I tried changing the bulbs to led but it would still light up red. Great youtuber!

[@OllyRoss]

I don't know for sure but I think there might be! I haven't taken mine apart so I haven't looked into it. Thanks man! Glad you like the videos!

[@Diamondblend]

did you ever change the dash bulbs? I ordered from the same seller but they all don’t light up that well. they’re nothing like the ac lights, those are bright and amazing. might have to keep the oem lights on the dash :(

[@OllyRoss]

I never changed those ones as I like the OEM bulbs for the dash.

[@user-gf5fb1zi6u]

How You get apple screen on a radio screen? Is cool I seen those in Cadillacs here in the states. Cheers from Texas lad

[@OllyRoss]

It is called Apple CarPlay and you just need a head unit (radio screen) that is compatible with it.

[@marcus4752]

I’ve taken out the small bits of tint on the three bottom bulbs but they still seem to be green and amber , any help?

[@OllyRoss]

Are you talking about the lights above the symbols? If so, they are different to the bulbs that light up the icon. I have only changed the icon area, not the bulb colour to tell you it is on. Mine are also still green and amber. Hopefully this helps.

[@avinciipan]

🔥💯🔥💯👍🏻

[@OllyRoss]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@milanbozicevic3670]

Do you know what bulbs are in there? What size? Is there any marking of bulbs you bought because if i order from this link shipping is crazy expensive. I have few other sites but i need to know sizes of bulbs because they don't have kits like this. Thank you

[@OllyRoss]

I am afraid that I don't know the answer to this as I just got the kit. The OEM Part number for the dial bulb is: 79609S5A003 and the button bulb is: 39397SA5003. Hopefully that helps

[@biggie_m8877]

I’ve changed my ac lights but they stopped working for some reason I’ve bought new led lights they’re still not working and I’ve tested the module and it’s perfectly fine

[@OllyRoss]

Very interesting. My heater control bulbs are currently out too. Haven't tried replacing them yet. Can you try your standard bulbs?

[@adamkelly6097]

Where’d you get the carbon fibre console from?

[@OllyRoss]

It’s just a hydrodipped carbon effect. I haven’t seen a real carbon one for sale for ages

[@marlonbaird6070]

Hi man what's spec size on wheels and tyre specs?

[@OllyRoss]

The wheels are 17X8 ET45 with 5mm spacers in the front to clear the front brakes and 3mm in the rear to clear the rear trailing arm. ET35 would solve these issues.

[@adamgallagher2057]

Is it blinding at night time ? I want to do this to my speedometer unit but worried it’ll be too much on the eyes…👁👁

[@OllyRoss]

Nah, it’s not that bad. I do have the double din Head Unit that is on when I drive anyway. That is what I am worried about with the dials though! Could be a bit too much! Maybe I will give it a go in the future

[@Liam-mt1fg]

Sadly the speedometer doesn't get a good result with LED's, from what i've tried you get very bright spots and then not much illumination elsewhere.

[@Diamondblend]

@@Liam-mt1fg yess, got the same results sadly

[@marques6359]

👍🏽

[@OllyRoss]

Nice! Thanks! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@BenLMitchell]

Where's the plug on your merch or candy shop? 🤣

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! To be fair, I would like to do some merch as it would fund things moving forward! Plus it would be sick! Haha

[@BenLMitchell]

@@OllyRoss I'll buy a landyard of you pal. You can join the Monky and MCM car ring gang, haha

[@CZMate]

Great content I have watched a few of you videos in the last month. Just picked up a 2005 Civic Si after my Integra got totaled. Just subscribed, I also have a channel if you want to check it out.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks for checking them out man! Glad you have stuck around. It is cool to see the car in a different colour as we didn't have that white available over here!

[@coolbreezelb5023]

Leds dim well or just all on/off?

[@OllyRoss]

They are just on or off

[@coolbreezelb5023]

@@OllyRoss Thank you!

[@willyb3463]

Enjoyed the video but please put all the screws in the centre console otherwise that double din could cave your head in.

[@giraykharizzma7737]

Is your dashboard real CF or wrapped?

[@OllyRoss]

It’s hydrodipped carbon. Haven’t seen a real carbon one pop up for a few years

[@tobytran833]

what are your wheel specs?

[@OllyRoss]

17X8 ET45 but I have to run a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the DC5 Brembo callipers and a 3mm spacer in the rear to stop it hitting the rear trailing arm. 17X8 ET35 would be the perfect spec

[@connerjmcl]

what head unit you using? and did you need an installation kit
