manual has no problem. DSG should handle an IHE + reflash (aka stage 2) without drama. any more (eg bigger turbo, injectors etc etc) then it becomes unknown but a few DSG cars in the state with high mods seems to be fine.

Wouldn't go for DSG anyway! Take the fun out especially with such a nice gearbox in the GTI.

LOL you only just bought your ep3 and you already have plans something else :(

Johno true but if you talk to a honda dealer there's a chance you can pick one up but its not cheap.. Ive seen two near my area also a Fd2 mugen.. If anyone is a true Honda enthusiast they would find a way to get the best of its kind if they can afford it..
the potential also is pretty high in the fn2. Get a cold air intake, exchaust and remap that your killing it.. but you need the $$$

Perry your right its not cheap the girl I know of she got it for just under 55K
18-01-2011, 09:27 AM

and thats without the stamp duty and various other costs yeah damo? cause base r i think your looking at 55 but with recaros ontop i think their another 3-5k. are you serious man mugen r fn2's? you'd be a real fanatic though which im not hahaha. Awd and dsg for lazy people like me who, get a sore leg from traffic jams everyday :(

I can say without a doubt that the power gains are not just the header after running hearder with stock b-pipe then having the b-pipe uprgaded to 2.5"

Huge difference

Any type of bigger b-pipe than stock one make stock muffler very farty. I have used 2.5 and 3.0 with stock muffler. Low speeds and cruise is good. WOT, nothing but fart, especially with the 3.0 straight mid pipe.

I have seen a cross section cut out somewhere and it showed that th ep3 has smaller muffler internals than the audm dc5 equivalent. Best OEM was shown to be JDM dc5 and audm dc5s. This is only from visual exhaust cutouts and not from hard dyno runs. It kinda makes sense since the ep's muffler is alot more compact than the dc5's.

I just got the Mothers all wheel and tire cleaner and it works like a charm. It takes off all the brake dust and its acid free, so its safe on painted rims.
I recommend it to all those people who have aftermarket brake pads like the ferodos.

Hey man where did you buy it from? after the wheel cleaner and the wash bucket set.

Steve heaps of street cred there man spot the ep3 with gun metal wheeels
24-01-2011, 08:29 PM
stienerv2

You can basically get it at any auto store like supercheap or autobarn. Meguiars also have a couple of wheel cleaners like for chrome or alloy wheels.
Just make sure its acid free/painted wheel safe so it doesnt stain and make your white wheels look yellow. I prefer Mothers because its a slightly larger bottle but both brands are equally good.
