Anyway, just a quick update to the headlights.

I waited at least 2 weeks and the moisture in the headlight still hasn't disappeared. Car is always parked in garage so there is plenty of time for...

It was free, but just being paranoid about the moisture still there.


I guess I wasn't too careful with some things. Oh well, what's done is done. Lesson learnt and hope others can learn from...

I was told about the brake pads and fuel injection clean. Parents insisted on doing both, even when I offered to change pads for them. Maybe they don't trust me, haha. Oh well, when I fronts go, I...

vtek: they did do a valve adjustment, so I guess that explains the extra. But I still don't get how they can charge $160 for a fuel injection clean. Does it involve that much labour or all they do...

Well just took my parent's Euro and ended up with a $790 bill :mad:

Most of the things I'm ok with except:
- $266 labour for what just seems to be an oil change and lots of checks, and topping up...

What are some decent coilovers going for $1400 that can beat something like a Koni yellow/eibach combo for around the $1400 mark too. If you say Tien SS, well, then you might be right, but as far as...

Not sure what you define as good handling, but when my Euro had Eibach's and standard shocks (pretty much new) and all I could say is that after 12 months the ride was horrible. Car was bouncing all...

Tien SS for $1300 :eek:

Do you know if JDMyard stock Tien SS for other cars?

They should bring out white with black interior. White on the Euro is sexy, but nobody buys white because of the ivory interior.

Japan has a blueish silver similar to the s2k one, and I think it...

Comptech supercharger :D

$4395 USD. Instant +50hp ATW

Did you feel the body roll and huge weight transfer?? :p

I use to do that all the time when the Euro was my only car. Only thing that would damage is your tyres. Don't think drivetrain will...

Sounds like it'll be a little beast :). Looking forward hear more about it.

Interesting you went for the Polo rather than the Golf GTi. How's the performance in the Polo?? According to Motor is only does 0-100km/h in 8.58s. But I guess it will demolish the Euro around the...

Summed it up nicely. Thanks ;)

My "dead end" in terms is exactly that. By the time you spend $5K on an auto euro, you'll be only catching up to the manual Euro.

With regards to V8's. Since...

RX8 isn't all that bad with 4 seats. Plus there was no mention of practicality in this thread so I assumed any car was up for consideration.

My mistake...I think 2nd is around 120km/h actually, and 3rd is well over 130km/h as i said before. Haven't driven the Euro for a while let alone redline it :p All I know is that I hardly reach 3rd...

There's no skill in auto....foot down and hope for the best :thumbdwn:

The auto box is just dead end in terms of performance. The gear ratios are too long and it's only really suitable for high...

What's the reason behind getting another Euro? IF your current Euro is fine as it is, why is there a need to get another one? Unless it was damaged, really worn and thrashed, or change of...

You...and there's no need to swear.

Well, you seem to think the Evo is a riced up Lancer. I just think you're a bit misinformed. That's the impression I got.

If an Evo is a riced up lancer, then the STi is a riced up impreza.

If you want to go further, a M3 is just a riced up 3-series coupe.

There is a reason why the Evo has a 30K+ premium over the...

Interesting....tell me more about this. So $20 for 4 tyres...how many times can you take it back for free?? Wouldn't mind trying some for my track tyres.

Do you mean the A048? If so, they are proper semi-slicks, and from what I've heard, they are good. Not really suitable for daily driving.

I believe the RT215's are no more, and replaced by the...

Any experience with that??

I have Koni's and King Springs (progressive) on my MX5 and I don't have any problems. In fact, I know a few other MX5's with Eibach and Koni and they say it's good as...

The whole car reeks of USDM. Style, tuning, concept, the whole lot. How many turbo Honda's are there in Japan?? How many turbo Honda's are there in the US?? I can answer the latter by saying "too...

I think Chris_F is right. You can still install the Tien SS without the pillowball upper mount, but it means you will have to use the stock ones. Not a big problem...
