I've got one similar too that, it's like the mushroom one. Vtec crossover is loud and has alot more response compared to the stock airbox.

Oh cool, I'll get It then. Im getting it for free from a friend so may aswell then :)
I've wanted the VTEC crossover to be louder, it's so quiet with the stock airbox.

Looking at late Feb, prefer a Saturday.

See if anyone else is keen before we make it definite.

Yea, It should be hektik. I did it before, it was me in the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder 200kw V6 :P ...it's suprisingly quick, a Toyota Trueno, Corolla, FN2R, Prelude VTI-R, Accord Euro,Ek, SSS (Nissan Triple Shit) and a Mazda 3.

It was Heaps of fun, we went to Wattamolla Beach, part of the Royal National Park.

Those mushroom sits at the stock airbox location?

If so I'd think they would draw in hot air as it's quite close to the header.

Yeah it does Philip.

I'm up for the meet and fishing too.

I'd assume so (without back to back dyno).

Therefore in theory injen/gruppe m etc CAI are better design.

Royal notional park is a mad windy rd. I think they recently re-done parts so it is really smooth now

Heheh, I bought some new Ep3 headlights that i saw for sale on ebay. It's just the headlight without any of the globes, it is a JDM Headlight and has the HID unit on both of them (bought a pair), Courier to my door for $250 what do you guys reckon? good deal?

Also, further info on the previous intake I asked about. That is the intake installed there, do you guys reckon it is a bad idea?

Where else would it sit?

Yes , it would draw the air from the engine bay!

In short (IMO) yes it would have heat soak in traffic and dyno.... But when the car is in motion and the heat gets drawn from under the car, it would not be that bad.

Try it out for yourself!

I got 13.9 down the quarter with SRI and cat back (lower than some with more mods)......so it cant that bad!

You cannot fully test SRI on a dyno as the car is static! It is known that engine bays run considerably cooler when car is in motion. Having said that, summer periods wont help :p

Yes, injen gruppem are better designed and is better, but Twest is getting the filter free! Better than $500 and $1000!

Just mock up a shield to keep some of the heat away :)

Hey guys i'm wondering how much rear camber can be adjusted with stock standard suspension.

I keep finding mixed answers.. so I'm not sure.

The Honda Service Manual specs says
Front: 0°00' +- 45'
Rear: -0°45' +- 45'

Can anyone confirm Honda's specs???

My plan is to get front camber bolts and run front camber: -2° and rear camber: -1° (maxed out stock rear camber if Honda specs are correct)

Its got the Mugen Twinloop, Mugen Front Lip and I'm fairly certain it has Mugen Adjustable Coilovers...But I'm not sure. It's my friend who keeps arguing that point, because he reckons my ep3 is lower than his girlfriends and wayyy rougher, he says mine has stiffer suspension but I haven't got under there to check out exactly what it has.

I want to put a mugen airbox or GruppeM on it, just waiting for one to come up for sale on ozhonda. Also waiting on gavin at img to get me in a Mugen front grille. Then I'll be happy :)
