Yes. Red P plater *covers face*....lol
Where did you see me? Out of curiosity? Also I better not have been hooning....how embarrassing.
Its not that loud, but it it has very nice low beefy sound that my friends can hear from a few good streets away. According to the guy in the Xr8 behind me when i was ...um....yes. He heard the vtec crossover point VERY VERY distinctly. :PQuote:

the immobiliser is standard on facelifts. i have aftermarket alarm/immobiliser as well but i'm not sure if it overrides anything.
i'd think the oem ones are built into the ECU so i'd probably need the factory key + the remote for my car to start.
ps. thanks for the link.
w00t w00t ep3 meet at denrie's house ! ! :D let me know what day ill swing by if its in the arvo

didn't need to pay any tax cos i travelled with my family (ie 2 adults + 2 kids so tax free allowance is $2,700).
Sweeeeeeettt......
gotta ask, is Jetstar any good? Heard many not so good news about them so have been hesitant to fly with them long haul.
Anyone up for TAS2010? :D

no compliant here but i heard stories about refusal to check in when arriving late etc
hey guys, anyone here from the Gold coast area ill be up there for 2 days starting from tomorrow morning?

i honestly cant believe im putting a system in my car... ive never been interested in this even with my old stivo that i had for 3+ years i never touched it lols
Car sound upgrade is always a must unless the stock runs a really good one,like gtr 35 runs 8.1 BOSE systems lol
it depends on the type of cars.
in a Type R which supposed to be light weight, i won't bother to put an amp with a big sub. but i'd definitely replace the crap oem speakers.
yeah as I know mazda 3 is running Bose system for stock,IMO maybe a 10 inch sub will be sweet and won't be that heavy,but definitely need an amp,If not considering sub then maybe will be good to put a pair of 6x9 on parcel trayQuote:

Get an Alpine head unit. Good value for money :) Get a 3preout head unit if you want to put an amp. I can feel a difference when I take my amp, sub & spare wheel off. Feels heaps lighter. LOLQuote:

I do run a removable small sub with a built in amp just to fill in some bass.
but a Type R has minimal sound deadening anyway. so from the start it's not good for sound quality. so might as well save the $$.
but if you get the stuff for free, why not lol.
i agree Alpine is pretty good. i got a cheapo one with ipod control and usb and it served me well with my JDM Alpine DDLinear speakers. i decided to get this over the Type R because of its efficiency. it doesn't need an external amp to run it well.
yeah true also!!! i was so surprised how light the stock speakers were!!! :eek: man seriously i could lift up the rear speakers with my pinky with ease... and its not a fat pinky LOL!! xD
My whole setup is alpine until last weekend yen I went out and bought a sub lol. But like Phill said there isnt much sound deadening so it does sound pretty crap compared to my last cars.Quote:

j's? so envy here
not 100% on brand.. its either j's or toda lol.. its not a dumpy pipe though so very unsure haha
but toda is not full titan.....just the end tip is titan i think.
hmm i guess we'll see next week =D i'll keep you guys updated! must also get an intake asap lol
Thinking of selling my fully done up EP3 and get a stock evo 8 MR.
what do u think guys? is it worth it
it really depends on what u want from your car. Evo8 is quicker but to me it's boring to drive as a daily car. U'll want to mod it sooner or later.Quote:

i still love my ep3 but having 2 doors car start to bother me.
