steve, how much did you get yours when our AUD was up?

i got mine when aussie dollar was good and when gruppe m japan had a discount going but i think they stopped it now. I paid a total of 850 bucks

[SuperSteve]

i think after 30000km you need to replace it.

Last time i checked and found it was very expensive. Most gruppem intake use the same filter and cost $300+. Especially since our AUD is not very good, it will hurt our wallet quite dearly.

cant u get a k&n filter cleaner kit to keep it clean and make it last longer ??

[typercivic]

i got mine the same way Steve did, paid $870 odd i think.

Just get the k&n cleaner kit for about $30 and do it every 5000km and you will never need to replace the filter, blow it out with some compressed air first then follow the instructions on the cleaner kit.

I want to get a Gruppe M intake but the best price i found is $1,166.

Ok went for drags tonight, was pretty good with lots of different cars, anyway my best time was 14.5, also did 15.07 on my first run, 14.7 and 14.8, I'm pretty happy with 14.5 I didn't strip the car or take tyre pressure down, so it was same as driven on street, my biggest problem was wheel spin on take offs (pretty much first gear), power wise I love ep3, once I hit second gear and get grip it flys.
Room for improvment? yes definitly, I don't think I need more power just more grip, with more grip I think car would be able to brake into 13s, plus some weight reduction it could be pretty fast, well I hope in 09 I'll be hitting 13s hehe
My mates did 13.2 (Evo 6 TME), WRX STi 13.3 and Lexus IS-F 12.8 (love that IS-F)

[kriZy]

14.8?

an EK4 could do that with simple mods (zorst + CAI)
not tryna put you down Malenic.
I just expected more from the EP3

[Mugen_B16B]

12.8 in a ISF!!! woah nice time

[Malenic1981]

14.5 was my best time, as for EK doing that time with CAI and zorst, good luck mate hehe, don't know if you ever went for drags but it's not that simple, I use to have DC2R I was doing 14.7 with it (later my mate managed 14.3), with S2K I did 14.9 so EP3 is pretty good
if I had better traction 13s would be very possible, power of EP3 is not problem here it's just traction on takeoffs

IS-F is bloody fast and powerfull

[SuperSteve]

14.5 is a good time for ur first time considering u havent had ur car for long good work Malenic. Go acouple more times and u should hit the 13s for sure mate. EP3 has power its just the launch that screws us up because as u stated the car wheel spins heaps. Ive taken my car to drag way once and my best time i did was 14.1. Im going to purchase bridgestone adrenalins and i reckon the car will easily hit the 13s for sure because i ran the 14.1 with my worn out kumho tyres. Cool thing was aswell i cherped 2nd and 3rds (haha it feels good at the time but means nothing i know )
Also on the night i went to the drags there was another ep3 there aswell. His been there quiet a few times and he just has a airtake intake setup and catback and his best time he has managed was 13.8. So yeah power and grip is good but it also comes down to experience of the driver aswell and knowing how to launch ur car.

Good work again Malenic let us know anymore times u do later on down the track
