EP3 Type R

whats different Pre-FL and FL? is it just headlights and taillights, or is it a different front/rear bar as well?

FL: Headlight-projectors, taillights-clear altezza styles

Pre-FL: Headlights-normal reflector

Front and rear bars, recaros are different as well.

[Seren1ty]

FL has lighter flywheel, two tone recaros, diff front and rear bar, diff head and tail lights, slight changes to front suspension/steering geometry, more sound proofing, so far no occurances of probs that are showing themselves in the pre-FL like steering rack and engine mount issues, higher price, only one importer licenced to bring them into Aus (IMG) and 0.2 quicker 0-100km/h

2 corrections:

- rear bar are identical for FL and pre FL;

- I have a FL and It wasn't imported/ complied by IMG.

Dont know where the .2 came from considering the car is mechanically the same? Marketing ploy?

i remember reading somewhere that it was .2 seconds faster. I cant find the link anymore but i think that was due to mayb the lighter flywheel

Yeah it's a laughable diff really but they did put it down to the lighter flywheel. What they didn't tell you was it also makes it easier to stall lol

AWESOME. shouldnt be too hard/expensive to facelift once i get my EP3 looks so much slicker! i dont know about the altezza style lights though.. i much prefer the Pre-FL tails.

Very easy to stall until I got motor mount inserts. Shifts are great now but the seat is really shaking now, more so than the steering wheel.

Regarding tail lights I would like to tint the chrome bits and leave the red bits. A bit like FL GD jazz.
