EP3 Type R

[UNA91]

You're more than welcome to check my 3" setup out yourself one day man, I'm in Brisbane too.

I pieced mine together myself, using a Vibrant resonator and muffler, and 200cell metal cat. 3" mandrel bent stainless piping. All up together it was ~$1k in total including all fabrication labour and materials.

This is an idea of the sound (filmed in mexico lolol)

Place looks familiar lool but damn, sleeper! vtec sounds mean as haha but hows it in terms of loudness outside normal driving? Im defs convinced to go 2.75 or 3 inch now, but yeah probs gonna go custom since theres not many options out there unless I pay big money. May i ask which shop did you get it done?

Is the rbc intake manifold a direct bolt on or do I need to make some modifications?

have to trim rad support. easy job

I was just wondering, anyone have any 0-100 km/h times?

I've done some dodgy iPhone passenger timings, nothing to serious but I get times from 5.8 - 6.3 seconds; depending on how well I launch.
Keep in mind I have some shitty as Sailun tires.

Anyone getting better times?

Also how do our EP3's go against the more recognized sports cars such as EVO 7/8's, 06 WRX STI's, R34 GTR in terms of 0-100 KM/H?

Nowhere close... They're all Sub 5secs...

They can do sub 5secs consistently, doubt most can do consistent low 6secs with CTR...

Performance gap just increases exponentially the higher the speed lol

Does your dad own a yellow NA1R by any chance?
Sad to hear your selling up =(

Nah, dad's is a first gen, yellow and in SA.

Yes I am very sad to be selling but a company car and wanting to buy a second home is taking priority at the minute.

hope to see you rollin on the streets haha

Has anyone installed a tow hook/strap on their front? I'm trying to figure where to mount and looking at the front bumper support it doesn't seem very strong... not too keen on a tow hook sticking out the bumper. At least with a tow strap i can tuck and hide it away.

Haha thanks boss. It is pretty sleeper lol, the way i love it. Even with the 3inch exhaust I dont get any attention in it

Tbh, inside the car the noise is actually quiet pleasant and not that loud. For reference, ive still got the oem head unit and speakers in the car (from 1998 lol) and I can listen to my music comfortably and any speed, apart from WOT.

Keep in mind I have a ASP header that has a megaphone, which is quiet noisy.

Outside the car however, yes it is loud. Ive let a good mate of mine thrash my car around the block (~500+ metres away) and the engine note it loud, very loud. I actually could not belive how loud the noise was, since in the car its so much quieter.

I got mine made up at right price on moss st.

Something just occured to me... about 3 months ago, I was doing a vtec pull on the highway and right before redline i believe i hit what i believe to be lean protection cut? Scared the shit out of me, car was jerking like it was stalling at high speed. What could have caused it? Gonna get my kpro next week, but could it be the mods i have (I/h/e) and a lack of tune?

[u mad?]

if anything youll be runnig rich as fuk
