Finally installed my 2nd hand window visors thanks to "pooface" I got to admit the design is a disappointment as opposed to the ek,dc and even dc5's due to they are stand alone clips to hold the visors in place. I should of bought 3m tapes instead of the ones i got.
Thanks for that :)Quote:

thanks in advance guys!
Guy's what's better for a daily? Mugen Mounts or Innovative ?
George and Phil mention before Mugen laaa
change to injen, sell the mugen. make money, louder sound, no power loss (maybe gain)Quote:

Wow $800! I got quoted $1500 wit a $3000 excess last ur through just car. They were the cheapest. I'm under 25 but I have a clean driving history. Don't need insurance this yr tho no car :(
$800 is with shannons, over 30, full ncb with agreed value of $30k.
But as I said I'm in Brisbane (which I was told is much cheaper than Syd)
hello just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here. thought i would eventually sign up to this forum seems really friendly to whoever needs advice ie me in the very near future :)
cant wait to get my ep3 its currently in brissy getting complianced by Ben at Shogun Imports - very easy deal with and highly recommended for anyone wanting a FL ep3 complianced. First mod for the car will be one of those awesome Skunk2 gear shifters!! I was kinda torn between the buddyclub type b but decided for more inside respect LOL
looking fwd to tapping into everyones knowledge here
Ben did my compliance as well, make sure you get good tyres fitted on car, give him a call and let him know or you may get some cheap sh#t that you wan't like :)
Welcome dude tell dont tell me its CW?Quote:

Ben is cool. We had 2 cars done by him.
I organized my own tyres and showed him the invoice and he was cool.
So gf3 u got a FL? Mine was the first FL Ben did and it took longer than normal becos he had a few extra paper work.
Kelvin, those are the rim protectors thing? Looks cool
I think im going to lose to this bet :(Quote:

looking at a ep3R or evo 7

DC5?Quote:

Ep3 because of it's engine.
Anyway guys know of c pillar bar is any useful?
actually if track only car, get a cams license and import a FD2R.
Don't get a evo7, from mates words, who owns a evo7 he says evo8 is alot better. Especially cause it is 6 speed. And alot faster. Well I tried stock 7 v ep3 on straight line ep3 was faster especially after 2nd gear. And evo8 v ep3 I found I was behind it most of time until toward end of 3rd gear I was progressing more closer to the 8. But yet driving skills matter the most
just a newb question if i end up modding out my ep3. wat is the first thing i should be looking to do? im thinkin of upgrading my car in stages..
1: CAI (probs GruppeM or Injen if I'm tight for $$)
2: Cat back exhaust
3: ECU (K100 / 300?)
4: maybe a full toda system...a BIG maybe...
is that basically all thats needed for a EP3? other than spending massive amounts for a few gains after? also tell me if i got the order wrong since im prob retarded :)
cheers guys
ECU will give you the best gains but you'd want to do the other things first before you do that. So probably go CAI and then exhaust or both at the same time.
um id go header->exhaust or together. havent had a look at the cat but i think its a 3point boltholes.
i'd personally do it in stages:
1. get CAI then catback for sound and a little more go.
2. then i'll turn my attention to other areas like handling (tyre/wheel + sussy) and brakes (pads and rotors).
3. if u then want more go, i'd do header + ECU.
4. if u are a baller, full toda rebuilt.
i personally done 1 & 2 except rotors and i can't justify spending another $3-4k for no.3. i also got distracted and got other bits like HU/speakers, lower seat rails and other small bits an pieces lol
I've been in both Evo 7 & 8, im sure a 7 felt a bit quicker due to its gear ratio's both stock. It's only the boost that makes it fun to drive.Quote:

but they are still a boring street car. should be an awesome track car tho. but i like my fun car raw (ie. free from electronics).Quote:

brake pads felt better as the OEM pads are hopeless but there are still improvement in this area. the next step would be disc. can't justify calipers as i don't track my car.
Nepolian and Steve have more mods than me so u'll have a better idea of the potential of modded EP3.
Thats what im looking into trying to find the cheapest option.Quote:
