thats not an oem SI cluster, it's some cheesy british cluster called "plasma gauges"

just called RACV for a quote for ep3r. ridiculous prices. my dads rating 1 for life and my name as a secondary driver would cost $2000 p.a (WITH A $2000 excess)

any suggestions? this headache in getting insurance is putting me off buying a ep3r if its impossible to afford!

any help very much appreciated!

Try just car, shannons etc.

Being an import, the mainstream insurance companies will be exxy.

hi,

looking for new tyres and need some advice,

is it wise to go from 205/45/17 to 215/45/17 ??

wheel is thus bigger and does that mean slower start off? is the difference really that big?

I did it. 205 to 215. Difference isn't too noticeable - I notice there is more flex in the tyre when cornering however the comfort was a lot better (could've also been due to new tyres compared to my old worn ones). Didn't notice too much in terms of slower start off.

i'd go 215/45/17 as its a common size which means more choice and cheaper.

JDM DC5R runs 215/45 from factory.
