You don't have to be below 1000rpm for it to bunny-hop. If you are in 1st gear and let go of the throttle, it's very easy to do, especially in heavy traffic. Hate having to depress, release the clutch on and on to stop it from happening.Quote:

Without doubt the higher octane fuel seems to improve low rpm 'tow' and smooths out the 'lumps'.Quote:

For supercharger try comptech USA or Jackson Racing( required water port mod). There is one EP3 with K24a2 swap pull more than 300 HP about (200 kw)at the wheel with Jackson racing SC so yeah that's really possible. But Euro not really design for racing purpose so if you wanna make so there are quite alot to change. LSD, better brake, better clutch and fly, and better head parts and I won't suggest you to get reflash only try to get stand alone. Anyway, I really like seing people with approach. :D
Hope that's help abit.
Buy an IceLink Plus from www.thecarkitcompany.com.au which comes with a cradle and plugs into the CD changer connector at the bottom of the headunit.Quote:

hey great idea EuroDude, but am I reading the price right? ... $299? ... and $499 installed? ... gees! thats more than the mp3 player is worth! Considering its using the in-car sound system amp and controls, thats an awful lot of cold hard cash for an adapter! Have I got it wrong?Quote:

ps. You can get something like the Audison SRx3 Amp to run off the stock HU speaker wires and drive a Sub and the fronts or rears.
Not worth even $249 - go with the soundgate for around $80US. Plenty of threads on it but you don't get the track shift up and down (big deal - if you mount your ipod in a decent spot it isn't hard to reach to shift the track).
True, but with the IceLink, you can place the iPod in the front CD holder bay out of view, and pop open the door when in use so you can see the track names, or Videos :) I personally find the steering wheel controls very useful especially when looking for a certain track, plus its much safer when driving.

Hmm... I remember seeing it in the instruction booklet. I'll have to have another play next time I get around to it to see if I'm remembering correctly.
Yeah the manual mentions Adaptive Cruise Control and the Speed Alarm, but our Euro's didnt get those features :(
yup.. i saw the 'speed alarm' thingy in my manual, but can't find that in the trip computer. :(Quote:
