I heard injen might be abit dangerouse if u drive over a big puddle
I got gruppeM and rm01a catback, plus apexi vafc2, it's pretty powerfull and sounds very good, so far best 1/4mile time is 14.2@162km/h, lot's of people told me I should be able to get into mid to high 13s with better 60" time and bit of weight reduction.
So power wise EP3 is up there with lots of boosted cars, for example few evos on the night were getting high 13s and low 14s which is nothing special when you consider they are 4WD plus turbo hehe
hmm i ran a best of 14.6 at WSID completely stock.. im pretty sure your car would be capable of a better time than that?Quote:

Hey guys, just picked up some skunk2 stage2 cams, springs and lifters... a k-pro and a 70mm throttle body! I'll keep you guys updated on my gains. I plan on getting it installed and tuned by bel-garage in sydney. Would everyone agree they are the best option for this?
Disagree with you.
Toda or ISMR or Touge tune
would also like to know how hard you guys are launching to get those times :)Quote:

if this is true, what aftermarket kit did u use?
thanks
just ordered a spare key. will need to pay $150 to buy the key, cut and code the stupid OEM immobilisor. still cheaper than Honda dealer who wants $200 for key + $200 to cut and code....
i am tempted to get the gruppe m and replace the mugen air box..... you folks reckon its worth it>?
only if u can sell the mugen air box for a reasonable amount.Quote:

if u dun want to cut and drill, keep the Mugen cos u still need to cut and drill while fitting the Gruppe M.
if you want to improve your intake, maybe get a mugen grill as it has a hole for intake.
one more thing, do you guys bring a bottle of octane booster with you on country drives?
I normally found there are a lack of 98ron bowser on country side servos. Have any of you fueled up with 95ron before? Or are you bunch of city slickers and never venture out?
Ive never had a problem finding 98 as of yet.. But it also depends how far out in the sticks your talking lolQuote:

225/45/17 on stockies if not lowered should be fine.
225 refers the width of the tyre. it has increased by 10mm from 215. there are still plenty of room on stock wheel but the tyres will be ballooned slightly.
also your friend is not correct regarding 225 would fit on 40 and not 45. 40 is the aspect ratio being the height of the side wall. 225/45 will have a taller side wall than a 225/40 which means the overall diameter will be bigger and your speedo will run slightly faster. obviously 225/45 will scrub slightly earlier than 225/40 but without trying both, it will hard to tell. however if 225/40 srubs then 225/45 will definitely scrub.
i also assume u don't have any spacers.
um my central locking failed when i got my car from img but gavin had a guy fixed it up ended up gettting a/m ones not oem but it still does the job.Quote:

PM me if interested :)
well it was paid by gavin so im not quite sure. i think their around 100bucks give or take not sure too lol, at jb's they were around 120 for 4.
is your car a FL or pre FL?Quote:

if your car is a FL then i'd be :(
hey guys im thinking of buying new rims....theres these buddyclub rims - Buddyclub Sf Challenge Time attack edition 17x7 - 5x114.3 with +42 offset....

Yes it's a facelift.Quote:

Sorry if I am confusing, because I'm quite confused my self.
It would pretty much sit the same as your OEM wheels.Quote:

More -ve camber will fix it up to an extend.
Quick question I've done a search but how do u remove the rear speakers? does the mesh pop off?

Hey all,
whats everyone using for seat covers (if any)
using some seat covers that my bro got me from markets with honda stitched on round 50bucks each? pretty tight fit on top half of recaros though, somewhat i like to see my recaros rather than put covers on them.
the only one I found that fits are the nos ones lol unless its custom madeQuote:

Question tho - Windscreens...Hard to find or am I looking in the wrong places ?
Car handles alot better than I thought it would..very happy with the choice for my new work commuter.
nice car. what exhaust do u have?
windscreen is a pain tho. i think Perry or Steve would know more info.
Nice buy I see nice optional pedals.. Yes windscreen are hard to find before but apparently O'briens can get the screens of the guys we got it from.
they aren't factory option Perry and they should have been standard like the DC5R.Quote:
