Just got raped $184 (supplied own fully synth oil). Eastern Honda.

Will definitely call GWS for a quote next time.

Where?! Which dealer in Melbourne do people find cheapest?

The gains are for the headers in combination with the Mugen intake. Anyone know what the gains are with just the headers (everything else stock)? I'm not really interested in power figures, just...

Nice gains... I especially like the torque gains in the low end. The area I think needs the most improvement.

Yeah and Type R stands for...? *sigh*.

Again we have another car which dilutes the Type R name which those excellent engineers at Honda JP built up.

Agreed. As with Honda Australia in general, they market to the lowest common denominator (I'm not saying it's not good business practice).

Any torque steer induced by the LSD has never bothered me before. Even if it did, it'd be heavily offset by benefits in increased traction around a corner. Spinning the inside wheel does nothing for...

It's in the too hard basket I bet. Plus, no suprises, they are just trying to talk up the product they're selling. Definitely nothing there for enthusiasts.

"I suggest you hurry to your nearest...

With such 'improved' torque at low revs to the K20 in this car, you seriously expect decent suspension tuning alone will eliminate torque steer... righto.

Also the Euro is a totally different car....

They only choose to answer useless/convenient questons.

Like the Brembo one you quoted. "we did not feel that they would be necessary"... no sh!t when are they ever NECESSARY? Besides like they...

It is full of sh!t. They try to claim the car has no torque steer so doesn't need LSD. And also that it has VSA so doesn't need a LSD... FFS

Was seriously looking to a GTi 5 door DSG before I bought the Euro. In the end the options killed the deal on the GTI. Leather + DSG alone took driveaway price to 50k+ with the salesman claiming only...

Thought I'd offer my recommendations

Headers - Toda, Mugen
Exhaust - heaps out there, but Mugen and HKS Silent HiPower are two that aren't unreasonably loud and will keep you out of trouble....

ahh icic thanks. Wouldn't happen to know how much the IceLink cost by itself would you?

Sounds like a very worthwhile mod. Hopefully a lot cheaper than the 1k Honda unit.

Could you please provide some details on this? How difficult was the install? DIY? Where'd you source it from?

Cheers!

hmmm awesome, would love an exhaust like that. Did it do much to the bottom end? I wouldn't think so right? What about noise below 4k?

Yeah, though the free comprehensive, 5yr warranty and on roads soften the impact somewhat on an already very competitive package. I was cross shopping with a Jetta TFSI, Golf GTI and an 07 3.0...

Yeah I know. It went some way towards negating my "best deal" on the price of the car. Having said that, I still got the car for quite a bit less than what the first 2 dealers could offer me with...

I let myself be suckered in and ordered the silver panels with the car. Certainly not worth the $500-600, but I really like them.

I wouldn't have let myself do it if I'd thought it through! lol

A few other nice features/options they have on the JDM Euro:

- Keyless Card entry system where once the card is within range, the start/ignition button becomes enabled.

-Auto headlights (really...

Thanks people. I agree it's probably learnt my 'babying' driving style. Without having to search through the owners manual, how do you 'reset' its learning? Or do I just have to drive like a maniac...

I've had my Euro for under a month and had a question for fellow Auto owners.

Basically since I'm still running it in, I'm varying the revs and throttle when I drive in to work on the freeway....

Thanks for all replies. Very useful and informative :thumbsup:

Yep, looking very nice there Chris! Thanks.

What offset are those?

Cheers
