does anyone know if 225/45 fit the standard wheel?
mate doing it yourself won't save you a lot of money and it's a real hassle. i found out the hard way.
in a way i kinda regret not buying from IMG now.
i may saved $1k but it probably took me longer to get it onroad + efforts in organising, imho it's not worth the saving.
i think 215 is probably the widest you should go. the side wall on mine is pretty vertical.Quote:

Tyre will fit std rim easily. Depends if your car is lowered. If not you may get away if so you may just get a little touch here and there :)Quote:

The usual I/H/E!Quote:

The rest is up to you!
Thx Nepolian for the info. actually i agree with you. would you know a rough estimate how much KW can be gain by putting an intake?Quote:

For I/H/E usually about 10-15 kwatw....but the gains are not just in the end kwatw but in the middle where it matters. Especially with the header, which would give you a good rise in the mid range (from 3500rpm or so) without giving you alot more atw.Quote:

Does that make sense?
the first mod i did on the ep3 is the gruppe m. There definitely is a performance increase as well as having a nuts sound now. I have a fuji rm=01a exhaust on order so when that arrives it will be the second thing so I can't comment on which one made more difference yet but follow what Nepolian said and you can't go wrong.
My first mod will be lowering rail as i can't stand the high sitting position lol.
i don't really care about power mods at this stage. 140awkw is enough for me (coming from a MX5 which has 70...). but when i get bored later, i might start with intake.
i'm doing cosmetic/personalising bits atm, i have some Rays sitting in the garage now.
i have been running around trying to get a spare key cut.
my car has the OEM immobilisor and all the places i went to can't program the key for me. i wonder how much it will cost at Honda dealer....
anyone has any advise?
in a way it's good that nobody can make a spare key easily but on the other hand it's a PITA.
